OMG. I got 8.95% for a 25yr mortgage and it was an awesome deal. Market was about 13.5%. Your numbers are really just free money from where am standing.
The idea behind Godzilla: Minus One as the title is to indicate that Japan was at zero - the country’s lowest point - after World War II. From being on the opposite side of the war to the Allied powers of WWII to the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan was in an incredibly dire state in the 1940s. In the film, Japan’s restructuring as a country is worsened immeasurably by the emergence of Godzilla and his subsequent attacks against the country, hence the title of Minus One as Godzilla’s wave of terror takes the country below zero>
So I used bings chat bot to summarize the article to the same length as the other bot and this is the result (you be the judge) :
!Carlos Vasquez, also known as Rattlehead, is a professional gamer who relies on sound to play Mortal Kombat. Carlos, who is completely blind, started playing video games at the age of six in 1992. He was diagnosed with a type of glaucoma when he was 11, which slowly took away his sight. Carlos relies on hearing the specific sounds of the characters to make his attacking and defensive moves. He is able to pick up on the distinct sounds of the characters and use them to his advantage. Carlos found that most mainstream games were almost impossible to play without gaming accessibility features. Back in his 20s, Carlos was able to play some fighting games, and in particular Mortal Kombat, because he was able to pick up on the distinct sounds. For example, he recognised that the character who started on the right side of the screen would grunt at a slightly higher pitch than the one on the left. This allowed him to work out which character he was playing¹.
Buy her a spa day or coupon with a massage or something nice that she likes and include the hair removal option as extra.
Once done make sure you let her know how much you liked the shaved areas. Hopefully she will catch on and continue doing it herself. Otherwise repeat the process. There are even some places where you can buy monthly subscriptions she can go to.
Avoid confronting her on this. Not worth it and you could hurt her feelings. Of course it depends on your relationship with her. If both of you feel comfortable talking and discussing such topics then go ahead.

I just finished the game. It was a lot of fun. I found it a little slow at times and some QOL stuff might make it even better but it is still a great game.
I hate that when I click on the Settings for a Notification I do not get any information on the category of the notification. You have to go into 3 settings to get to your notification history and there it shows the category. Bad phone!!!
I have a TrueNAS server at home and thought I could easily connect it to my phone (Pixel 7) as a network drive but was surprised to learn that Android doesn’t have a built in feature for that....
My Samsung phone does have that feature in the My Files app that comes pre installed. I don’t use it because File Manager+ is so much better. And I have access to my SFTP, LAN and NAS. I am not associated with the app. Just enjoy it and recommend it because I find it very useful.
I just built a laptop and I always choose Mint. I used the XFCE spin and it failed me. Everything worked well except the second monitor screen. I just could not get it to display proper 1080p. I tried forums and changed a bunch of configurations.
I ended up getting Fedora on it and it worked out of the box. Oh well. Fedora it is then.
I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.
FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution). The feature is expected to come to the company’s next-generation flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24. This technology renders a game’s graphics at a lower resolution to improve frame rates and then uses AI to upscale the resolution. This way, you get higher frame rates at the cost of a slight downgrade in graphics details.
Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: “Everything we do is justified.”
Sample size is relevant as a proportion of the difference you are looking for.
For example:
Sample A: 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.2, 1.1
Sample B: 345.3, 323.4, 322.3, 355.2
Determining a statistical difference between these two groups where a meaningful difference is 20%, does not require more samples. The chance of error on making a claim that A is less than B will be quite low.
Not saying that N=18 in this case is sufficient, just stating that the number alone does not give you enough information to determine whether a claim has weight to it or not.
I have never pumped my own fuel on my car except when I visit the US. I feel like a 7 year old handling that pump thing. Happy I don’t have to do that where I live.
Here folks and interactions are better. Content is quite lacking. I have a few niche interests that are nowhere to be seen around here. I have not gone back to Reddit and I think my life overall is better for it. My 2 cents.
I’m looking to go into Usenet / premiumize / real Debrid but I don’t know which ones are reputable. Which ones have you all had luck with or liked? And what was the cost?
so is it possible to watch pirated shows and movies together over the internet? me and my friends cant meet up because we’re hours away from eachother.
This is what we do. We have tried using a shared player with limited success because we all have different setups (PC connected to TV, Plex Streaming, Apple TV Stream, etc). But I am always looking for a more elegant answer. Hopefully someone here might have some new tech.
We have tried this before and usually the video and audio quality go to shit. Source is 1080p streamed video looks like 144p. Tried Zoom, Jitsi, Teams, Telegram, FaceTime. All with very similar results. So far the best solution has been sharing a copy of the file and playing on the count of three.
"Microsoft’s blog adds caveats, such as that Excel avoids the conversion by saving the data as text, which means the data may not work for calculations later. There’s also a known issue where you can’t disable the conversions when running macros. "
Try Power Toys. It’s made by Microsoft and the Power Toys community and it’s free. It has a module to rebind keys just like AHK and it works really well with no admin access. It has a bunch of other nifty tools. I love it.

These things behave really strangely as compared to other bugs. I found one on my yard the other day and as I walked by, I saw it was following me with its head. I went back and forth to make sure I wasn’t imagining it. Nope it was intensely looking at me. So I thought… Perhaps it’s just assessing a predator and keeping it in sight is a useful survival instinct. Then the mofo jumped at my face. Calculated jump and attack. I grabbed it and put it in a turned over glass and it was pissed at me and continued to stare me down. I had some friends over and they looked into the glass too but nah thing wasn’t looking at them. It was looking at me and it looked pissed. I fed her a moth that was flying around by putting it inside the glass with it thinking… Its not going to attack the moth, mantis is probably terrified. Not a time to eat. So I thought. Damn thing proceeded to eat the head of the moth while it kept looking at me in disdain. I had to let the thing go. It was too sentient to be squashed as a bug. So I freed it later that night and made sure I closed the garden door behind me. I don’t want that thing strangling me in my sleep.

I have a water container I need to take care of in my house. An ultrasonic sensor hooked to my raspberry 3b uploads the collected data to my vps that later serves an html through Flask to show the water level. It has a few alarms so that I can take action at the appropriate time. The ultrasonic sensors HC-SR04 suck and I have to replace them quite frequently. Other then that it works really well.
I am sucker for these things. I have a small laptop I keep around for menial tasks and I use Mint on it. I wanted to change it for a while and this article just tipped the balance. Fedora here we go! Although I will be using Xfce for it’s lightweight.
