Same. This game already has pushed my CPU to 100 degrees and sent my GPU fans to ‘insane RPM’ mode, and I’m just coming to end of act 2.

For real. She asked me if I’d like to stay for another drink, I said no thanks and went home.

Thanks for the encouragement & advice. I’ll give the web installer a go once I’ve had some sleep.

I wanted to try it out today. The install looked intimidatingly-complex to me, is there an ‘easy mode’ installation method?

My sentiments exactly. I try not to write long stuff like you just have because I know I’ll be even angrier by the time I’ve finished writing it (and I’m already dealing with a lot). Couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said though.

I’ve edited the post, thankfully someone beat me to replying so you weren’t left hanging. My apologies!

The advantages are, every part of the device can be easily recycled, and the parts to make the charge-holding portion of the battery are less damaging to acquire than in li-ion

From what the article said, most definitely not. But, it doesn’t look very complex in terms of scaling / manufcaturing it and they say they want to get it to market quickly.

And this is just a tiny, miniscule,taste of what the majority of Ukraine has had to face for the last year. Also potentially a false flag, we know how PootPoot likes to bomb his own citizens to secure his power.

I found not being able to remove the app frustrating, and wanted to go further than disable it. My thinking was, it’s my phone, I want it setup my way, and I don’t want bloat… especially facebook bloat on the phone.

I read most religious texts when I was a young teen, cause I was a little nerd who loved to read and had nothing better to do.

The Vedas (Hinduism) were really intriguing. Some of their stories very much sound like a futuristic post-human society, with stuff like nuclear warfare.

I don’t know a lot about cars, but we used to go caravanning as a kid and my stepdad would always use a long, reasonably-powerful car to tow it. And come to think of it, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one being towed by a hatchback (and we get a lot of caravans on the road here in the UK)

There’s not much to talk about until Russia stops their invasion of Ukraine, imo

Austin Powers. Introduced my dad (who bears a striking resemblance) to it and we had a right laugh watching together

I used to have a Samsung Galaxy S6, I rooted it so I could remove the facebook app… turned out they built a custom circuit in a little chip that permanently breaks NFC if you rooted it. Ridiculous.

I got a pixel 7a about 6 months ago. It’s a brilliant phone, once you remove all the google shit / bloat and block all the trackers.

I tried to look for a super-remote forest location last year; my intention was to take a tent, get dropped off on the edge, go deep into a forest with laptop & keyboard, to write some forest-inspired music. I was pretty shocked to find out that all our once-deep forests are criss crossed with roads. You were kinda joking, but you’re literally right, there’s nowhere far from a road in any of our forests.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment bigtime. TBH I feel like the stuff people like me go through, while it sucks, is nothing compared to the vicious persecution trans people receive now. It seems like the right has switched their floodlights onto them as the boogeyman to be attacked atm.

I will say though, I have nieces who are working through secondary / college and of course there is still discrimination, but it seems to be way less of an issue for younger generations, which is a comfort :)

If someone posted a video titled “Why we hate bi women”

FWIW, they also have a video with that exact title so at least they’re equal opportunities when it comes to clickbait titles!

I probably shouldn’t have watched this video today as I was already feeling a bit down. Whoops.

My worst experience re this problem… was on a date with a woman, it was going really well, we were in a pub after the meal and ended up kissing. She pulls back, takes a deep breath, confides in me that she has experimented with women and asks if that’s a problem? I breathe a sigh of relief, say it’s no problem and that I’m pan. She immediately pulls back further with a look of pure revulsion on her face, and says “Sorry but that’s just a huge turn-off. I know it’s hypocritical but I can’t help how I feel”

She was a therapist too. I’m putting myself out there again as of the last month or so, but I didn’t date for a long time after that. I kinda feel like I don’t want to even bother trying to date someone who isn’t also LGBT but it seems the prejudice is also high in our own community!
