Agreed. Although I struggle with vaping nicotine WAY too much and I feel like it has caused me some issues.

Still, way better than real cigs as far as my lungs are concerned - but the ease of being able to vape and constantly get a nicotine fix has been the real issue for me. Currently reading Alan Carr’s the Easy Way to get this monkey off my back once and for all.

Ohhhh this makes sense too! I actually have a pipe organ in my garage so I know exactly what you’re talking about!

Thanks friend. I’ll give this a go tonight. I feel like I tried a lot of these steps last night to no avail but maybe just user error. If I could delete the “music” view property template altogether I’d be a happy dude.

I don’t think it does. I just looked a sample thread sorted by “hot”. I think that just sorts by the number of upvotes.

I feel like smartphones have just made people “internet lazy” - myself included. The masses just want to get an app and let it accomplish whatever you need, without worrying about any kind of enshitification as long as it’s free.

Chess, podcasts and probably too much social media.

Last time I called them, it was because I got home late and my backdoor window was shattered. I had recently broke up with an unstable person, so I phoned the cops the next day just to make a report.

They called my ex, who initially denied it at first and tried to say I was a meth dealer or something. Eventually, the cop said she admitted doing it and asked if I wanted to press charges. I declined.

I reconnected with her years later in 2021 during the pandemic. It did not end well yet again, but at least no one got hurt and no property was destroyed this time around.

I feel like his announcements are just shock and awe to grab headlines. It’s all stupid. Wrestling wife lady got picked for DOE today right…

I agree all of this would make for a great reality TV show though.

I dunno but now I wanna hear “Bitchin’ Camero” by The Dead Milkmen

Well they did just buy infowars…

How many of yall remember having to “adjust tracking” when the picture had too much “snow”?

Sorry for your troubles. It seems like having an intimate relationship with a partner should probably be lower on your list. Hope you’re able to work towards a positive direction with your life in general…

When I took acid as a teenager in the 90s, I was tripping balls and realized that entertainment or anything that occupies that mind that we enjoy, in essence makes time seemingly go by faster. Therefor, the more you entertain your brain, the quicker you approach your demise. It really groundbreaking for me at the time. I swore I might just stare at a clock for the rest of my days just to make time seemingly like it passes slower to savor my mortality lol

Do you have a favorite opening yet?

Oh ok. No but I do follow you as I am sure there are plenty of calls being intercepted by our govt agencies. I guess I am trying to wrap my head around who would use AI voice technology for that purpose? Enemies within the country of the foreign leaders that hack into their specific phone lines?

What is considered a “known compromised line”?

Yeah that’s something another commenter mentioned. Thanks for the math. I think it’s time to say goodbye to this old thing…

Maybe I’ll try this on my big fridge next. It’s getting close to 20 years old itself but functions fine.

Yeah that’s kinda what I am doing. If I’m using this energy monitor thing right, the fridge is on Day 9 and has used 20.32 kWhs
