The best and brightest would instantly find that even more suspicious. Unless you're explicitly okay with dying to have your family taken care of, you're not going to be swayed onto this mystery mission just for unlimited money.

I like it. First reason is I don't always watch just one show, sometimes I'll move between 3-4, so it can be a week before I see the same show again. Just because a lot of people binge doesn't mean everyone does.

Secondly there's no way on earth I'd want to scrub through the previous episode trying to find and remember the important points, especially with buffering, it'd probably take just as long as rewatching the episode.

Third is that it's not always just the last episode they're recapping, sometimes it'll be something from episode 2 that's only now become relevant in episode 5, and without binging it I definitely prefer the reminder, sometimes even with.

My last point isn't really a point explicitly in favour of recaps, but finally, you can skip them very easily if you don't want them. Most if not all streaming services literally build in a skip button for the theme/opening/recap. But even if they don't it's pretty easy. So I don't really see it as a big deal in the end.

I just stopped fighting it and bought a cheap usb c adapter. The only time I want to use earphones is when I'm out anyway.

I mean I think it can be boiled down pretty simply: cause the least harm to living things that you can personally manage, according to your definition of harm. Having impossible goals isn't necessarily a bad thing. If your impossible goal is to make a billion dollars ethically, and you get to 50 million being 95% ethical, you could still consider that a win, even though you didn't reach your impossible goal.

Even the simple goal of "always being a good person 100% of the time" is probably impossible to achieve over an entire lifetime while meeting every person's definition of it. That doesn't mean it's useless for someone to strive for that within their definition of "good person".

In fact I'd say the vast majority of meaningful, non trivial goals could be considered "impossible".

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

100%. It's almost like the first is a beta for the second, despite being amazing in its own right.

I've been liking searxng. It aggregates results from search engines you select and returns the results without being tracked by them.

https://docs.searxng.org/

https://searx.space/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG

SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx. SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.

3rd result using these settings on searxng.

I'd wager the vast majority of people that don't know anything about another person's religion couldn't tell if what they're saying is true or not.

Circumcision, fasting, transubstantiation, without any knowledge or frame of reference there really is no way to tell if someone is just talking out of their ass or not when it comes to religious traditions.

The magic of the modern day means you can type "define" or "pronounce" then any word into Google and it'll tell you how to say it. There's also an absurd amount of YouTube pronunciation videos for basically every word that exists.

Not that there's a problem asking, this is more advice for future words your friend doesn't know. So you can help them. The dummy.

In fairness he says 90 minutes after waking, not 90 minutes after the walk. If you get home from the walk by 6:30 that's 30 minutes to make it, or potentially buy it if you have one nearby to get on the way home/quickly drive to.

Now yes that's already 10am, but considering he mentions 2pm in the right column, you could make the argument the left column is the "until 10am" part, and the right is "after 10am" part, though I am giving large amounts of benefit of the doubt at this point.

 

Tried many apps since joining a few months ago, by far love this one the most. Has pretty much everything I could ask for and a really nice design.

One feature I feel like I'm missing that I had on the reddit app I used to use is a button on comments that let's you jump to the parent/ context of that comment.

I know you can follow the coloured lines/collapse the comments in between as a work around, but I really liked this feature for very long and convoluted comment chains to easily see what a comment is replying to.

Thanks for all your hard work on this app, it really shows.

Edit: Link.
