Something I’ve always noticed and am going through now. Sometimes I’ll drink too much the night before and be concerned about a hangover the next morning. Morning comes, and almost always my first thought is “gee I feel like shit but actually this is way less bad then I was expecting” this misplaced optimism gets washed...
I agree 2 wks to 2 months was the toughest. I associated drinking with certain activities, and it was weird to do those without drinking. Then, other things i thought would be hard, weren’t. Like parties, family gatherings etc. Thought everyone would say, “hey wheres your drink!”. I think in retrospect i was the only one saying that shit.
I got pretty good at dealing with hangovers. I have an iron stomach and had a pretty good routine before bed and the next morning to get over it all as fast as possible. Guess that was sign enough it was time to stop.
This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting....
Boyfriend of 2 years (best friend of 6) just told me he’s started seeing someone else. No discussion. Just ghosted me for a week and hit me with this news. Thought he was my soulmate, lmao. I feel like someone just ripped out my insides. Just turned 31 this year, this shit is not any easier than when I was a teenager....
I used it as fuel to make positive changes in my life. Not just breakups, but any time life throws something really awful my way, I try to make an effort to use it as a force good. Breakups, deaths, job loss, etc. Be a better you, quit smoking, get fit, learn a new skill. Things I normally wouldn’t be motivated to follow through, i do.
Sorry you’re going through this. Try to remember that it will get easier in time. Accept it wasn’t meant to be, and know there’s a version of you in the future, looking back at this knowing it was all worth it to find the person right for you.
Too many too old politians. But how to slim the fat. Quota is a neat idea. How about senility test, based on current known conditions and the avg age they occur. The test needs to occur more frequently on people of older ages due to increase odds.
I feel a quota alone would sometimes screen put perfectly fine older people, while keeping the ones who shouldn’t be there anymore.
I quit a few years ago. Super liberating, but after 2 years of practically nobody jumping on Signal with me, and being left out of friend group chats, I settled on “Facebook lite” for my phone. I dont post, or scroll the feed. Just available for chats.
Noob starting first server. Installed Ubuntu server, and opted for LVM. However, will that cause me problems on a headless server if I get a power outage and need to reboot? I think yes. Is there a solution, or should i remove LVM before i go too deep setting things up?
Im a cyclist who would love to not have to own a car but its just impossible between the suburbs, winter climate, and shitty, dirty public transport in my city. It also takes 10x longer to get anywhere. Plus anyone I know who bikes to work stinks.
Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I’m curious what the rest of you are doing.
Going to University means you have a chance at a good paying job. Depending on the job, likely a better chance then someone who didnt go. I make decent money and did not go, however I am incredibly lucky and am not betting on that for any children i have. Trades or University/College is a must.
That being said, how about the Government reduces the cost of post-secondary education, instead of allowing banks to earn off billions of school loans each year. Here, they do reduce it for citizens, however not nearly enough. Additionally, many graduates end up moving to other countries because the pay is lower here.
Mozilla released their studies, and I’m seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail. I remember how this issue wasn’t talked about earlier because “just buy an older car” was still prevalent. I’m so happy that people are taking notice. Thank you to this community...
Thanks for this. I’m not in USA but I had chatgpt summarize my vehicle manufacturers privacy policy. Its wasn’t great, so I sent an email to their privacy inbox. Next, I’ll email my politicians.
Thank you! I’m a new user to linux. Went through 4 distros this month until this one, that doesn’t seem janky and runs my games at a decent FPS. Having to reconfigure my monitors each reboot was a dealbreaker for me. Your simple instructions worked flawlessly, and i’ve had 3 reboots without having to change my settings.
I’m not sure if linux is my new forever home yet, but this definitely helps!
It’s a service that allows tv/movie streaming from torrents. I use it with the ‘Seren’ addon within Kodi on my HTPC/FireSticks. It’s $20/6 months, and works great. No buffering.
I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days....
I spend more time here than reddit. I never ‘go’ to reddit. I end up on reddit occasionally when looking up a question and the search engine takes me there. Often, i need to login to view, so i move on, as I deleted my account.
For the past year, I’ve been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on...
I used signal for 2 years. Only got 2 friends to join. Dropped it when they removed SMS. I’ve settled for Facebook messenger lite and my social life is booming again.
I’ve been using GrapheneOS for over 2 years now. Love it. I cannot help but feel I’m missing out when i go on a road trip and have to constantly glance at my phone (OsmAnd~), instead of using the perfectly good display built into my vehicle....
