Am I the only person whose natural clock has me waking up later and later up to this point b/c of sunrise, and when this time change kicks in I’m back to waking up at the appropriate time and feeling amazing?

Hard to believe this is bad for me in any way. In point of fact, I don’t understand why we just don’t keep the clocks here.

Would be easier to keep a list of those that didn’t.

They mean donations to whomever takes them in. Believe me, that means something to them. These guys never even tried.

These animals lived with their owner for years and were consistently photographed for Instagram. Yeah, people know how bad rabies is. They clearly didn’t have it.

And officials are saying that no wildlife rehab service in the entire state of New York could take these two in? Internet famous, celebrity animals? Man, whoever believes that, I’ve got some land to sell ya.

This is all the reason I need to support Khan, honestly.

Well duh, you didn’t think Iran was getting nothing for sending all those drones to Russia, did you?

Nope, get it on every version of Windows 11 that I work with. You’re supposed to use your mouse to slide it down on those. Crazy, huh?

Hilariously accurate, especially in modern Window’s systems. Like, you press it and it covers your screen with a ‘slide this to shut down’, which if we could do that, we probably wouldn’t be using the button.

Instead of a 5 second press and done it’s become more like a 20 second struggle to tell the PC you really mean it!

My father’s mother died a few years back and due to a rabbit hole I won’t get into, was left with cleaning out her condo by himself. She wasn’t a hoarder or anything, but he was floored by the work involved.

During the pandemic hermitude, he absolutely purged his own house of everything like this. He didn’t want us to be burdened with it when his time came. It’s ironic that I was a little upset over some of the things he threw out xD

Because they are the ones using them so they know they’re a real threat.

Projection at its finest.

I’d say the best answer to this conservative is that it’s like open carrying a handgun. Just because someone is carrying a handgun doesn’t make them the bad guy, so you leave them alone.

But if they draw that weapon and threaten someone, you call the cops.

…or another good guy with a gun?

Bittorrent is a file sharing protocol, which isn’t inherently dangerous. The ‘torrent’ contains the information that’s being passed around to allow connectivity to that particular file. This is also not inherently dangerous as that information is very specific and limited… and doesn’t allow any other user to browse the rest of your computer.

What may be dangerous is downloading a file that contains malware or viruses via a torrent. Use reputable sites and keep your security software up to date. Better yet, use a different computer for this activity with a vpn.

Back in 1988 I had a school project with a few people, one of whom came from a wealthy family. The project was regarding the stock market, and each team was given a certain amount of imaginary money to invest, to see who would win out at the end of the semester. My friend with the wealthy family came back with a recommendation from his father, of course, and we won the contest easily.

The recommendation? Put all our funds into Berkshire Hathaway.

I had the golden goose egg right in front of me and never invested a dime.

Sooo… is Meta going to scrub all that information from their system or did Texas just basically ‘sell’ our info to them for 1.4 billion?

I think you misunderstood the comment heheh.

The added ‘a’ implies that there are many plots to sneak arms onto the island. They just happened to foil this one.

Cuba foils a plot to sneak arms onto island from U.S.

Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren’t doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)

The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.

This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.

Agreed 100%, but to be fair I knew which way the wind was blowing with this game back before release when they made that horrible yaw change to keep pvp ‘engaging’.

The whole legs thing would have been a nice to have, though. Not being able to just stand up out of my chair was immersion breaking. Once upon a time I jumped through a whole lotta hoops to get it working with my VR headset and NGL, I cried when I drove my rover on Mars. It was that gorgeous. What struck me most was physically looking over my shoulder and seeing the tires of it kicking up dirt and leaving that telltale track on a world where nobody had ever been.

Then I realized I could never leave a bootprint. I think the worst punch to the gut with the space legs thing was not being able to do VR with it afterward. Like…wtf, there’s just a very clear disconnect between what direction the ED devs took the game versus what the players wanted.
