Reading would probably help the most. Read some classics, don't worry too much about the plot beforehand, dive in. Gives a ton of new ways to look at the world.

Yes, and I do the same for all DC adapters. Writing voltage etc so it's easy to find

You'd get denied getting connected or expanding your business or adding a car charger, as is reality in parts of Scandinavia, if it was an issue.

Depending in what you are doing, you can unlock a lot more knowledge by translating your query to Chinese and then asking that. :)

Eve online holdem? Amazing. Was a banker there for a bit while I was working as a poker dealer IRL at night. Won a fully fitted mom in a game, lost it in another:D

I've been thinking about trying it out again. I re-visited it a bit in 2012 and have lately been recommended some youtube videos for catching up on lore and larger changes.

It was an amazing game back then, my only issue being my inability to not spend all free time in it.

Still hanging on to Whisper for transcribing and translating audio in real time locally. I play mmos with Chinese people and paying for translation APIs would get expensive quick.

If anyone has suggestion for fast realtime and good enough alternatives with low vram, since I game at the same time, I'd love to know.

The performance is absolutely atrocious with default settings, but it's a nice project.

There's a huge number of gamers moving to things like CachyOS. Some are stuck because of Valorant, LoL or Battlefield DRM, but it's a big move lately.

No, I couldn't find it a few seconds later when I realized what I saw. It felt like a case of alt-code naming to prevent showing up in search, unless being presented in the top ad spot.

I saw a google authenticator copy (using the old icon but named Authenticator) about two weeks ago. It was the top result but an ad and not by Google. Sad I didn't screenshot it, couldn't find it when searching Google Authenticator again.

Can't even tell if you're real or a bot by reading one comment.

It's missing some weird ones for having others operating as part of the same public transport systems too.

Old data? Where's the data from?

Pretty sure it just pushes on nerves there, and there's a ton. And cracking/popping maybe spreads the gas stuff around more.

Pretty sure it's not in your head. When I was younger I had growth hormone treatment for a while. I needed to crack more ofthen when on it, and less when I wasn't, and it was apparently a common side effect.

Being in discomfort because my hands feel stiff and under tension is also annoying. It's not like I'm doing it for fun?

Are people actually doing this as a fun thing because there's nothing better to do?
