Robust Mirror

Yeah I read one, was about to click away and decided to look at one more and it was yours. Thanks for pulling me back to reality, off I go.

So does Thunder.

Yeah in Australia I just use my home phone landline number converted to a mobile number, first 2 numbers are state code so like 02 1234 5678, mobile numbers are the same but 04 at the start. No idea if it is someone else’s number but I haven’t clashed yet.

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.

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

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

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.

Simple question: Who do you think would be better for the country as president? Neither isn’t an option, because one is happening, no matter what. Equally bad isn’t an option either, as no 2 people are completely identical. It doesn’t matter is objectively false, as they will do things differently, and those differences are not equivalent.

The fact is actively telling Kamala supporters not to vote is indirectly voting for Trump, and vice versa, whether you yourself turn up or not.

If you truly believe it doesn’t matter, there’s no reason to tell anyone to not vote, as voting and doing the other actions you recommend are not mutually exclusive.

I have a pixel 6.

Yeah it’s pretty nice, basically every convenience of paid streaming services for free and every movie and TV show in one place.

If you use it I highly recommend the torrentio add on https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure

I stream torrents using stremio.

That was absolutely a thing when I was a kid with playstation and N64, the difference being it was only a couple games at most per year to have such an effect, and you only had to buy the game. You didn’t feel the need to spend $1000 over the next couple years buying each new cosmetic that all your friends have for $10-20 a pop.

You also got the value of, you know, playing and enjoying that game. If you spend $60 on a game you play for the next month, that’s far more value than getting 3-6 skins at one every week or 2 and basically never using it again after you get the next one and honestly not really adding any actual value or fun overall to the time you do spend playing the game.

First, I do get a different brand, that’s my point. Second, now you’re telling me to buy it in bulk to always have around? I don’t want to spend that much on an already expensive chocolate and it’ll probably just go fast from my kids anyway. Plus in summer it’ll either melt from the heat or be rock hard from being in the fridge, neither is ideal.

Also, usually I’ll just buy it as a treat when we’re already out. If I’m trying to split a chocolate between 4 people at a shopping centre, I’m not going to be carrying around a knife, I want to be able to just easily break it into 4 sections. Nor am I going to think before we leave “I should grab 4 of those chocolates I bought online in my pocket in case we want some”.

I have no problem just getting a different brand to avoid the hassle, all I’m saying is maybe I’d get theirs if it wasn’t designed so stupidly. But I’m sure they don’t care enough about getting business from 1 random guy to change it, so I’m fine getting others.

Except for the people that try to cheat to do it.

So now you’re telling me to order a small bar of chocolate online to come God knows when, and pay postage for an already expensive chocolate… If I want a single serve of chocolate I don’t want to wait for it to come by delivery days later, these aren’t reasonable solutions.

Tony’s only comes in 180g bars where I live, there is no smaller size. If you’re going to say I should buy a different one then, well I thought I made clear I already do because of their stupid design, but if I wanted to support them because of other good reasons, they only have the one stupid option either way.

If I have to get a knife out to eat my chocolate bar it’s already become more hassle than it’s worth.

They could have rectangles and squares of uneven sizes that still have normal break lines, they choose not to. Heck they could even have triangles that break neatly if they really wanted to by putting a diagonal line down some squares or rectangles.
