yes

contracting and consulting. house painting for instance, computer programming, landscaping, etc.

yeah I’m glad servo exists, but its far from ready for prime time.

What’s crazy is what a monumental undertaking implementing a web browser is now. Would love to see someone propose a new standard to replace html-css-js but distilled down to a radically simplified essence, dropping the accumulated cruft of decades, applying lessons learned. Ideally would be something that could be implemented by a few devs over months rather than requiring a team of hundreds over a decade.

There’s no such thing as a “dating league”. People are selective, but the nature of that selectivity depends on the individual. For some social status is of primary importance. If you don’t boost their social status they’ll move on. For others, its do you get along, do your personalities mesh well. For others, its life goals - want kids yesterday, or don’t want any ever? For others, its dating someone who is self supporting and not an abusive psycho. It can feel like a rigid classification if a lot of girls seem to have similar values.

a little USB box that you plug the phone into, made it into an audio device. needed windows drivers and I no longer use windows.

very solid, built to last. I used to use it to talk on skype.

One of these telephones. Was my grandfather’s.

Lately I’ve been watching videos from twoodfrd on youtube. Guitar luthiery. Gets me napping like no other. Found another that seems promising “Machinery Restorer”. Turn on subtitles if you need to be quiet.

when someone tailgates me, I slow down.

yeah read that Caddyshack was made in florida instead of california because they didn’t want the studios breathing down their necks.

that’s pretty much a whole manga subgenre now

Love it. No connection to the internet except when you choose to, through your phone. Analog controls. Frickin roll up windows!

My only beef with the current concept is the bolt on body panels and other parts. Too easy to steal. Could replace those bolts with security bolts, if they aren’t already, but that just discourages the casuals.

Harvest those emails.

Here you go. There are a number of ‘corrido de luigi’ songs out there.

I like mine. I have tinnitus and its important to me to be able to dial down loud music and movies, without the sound getting muffled and unintelligible. Mine are custom molded with removable 20db etymotics filters; they came with solid filters too that you can switch when you just want to block sound and don’t care about fidelity.

Before these I had some etymotics 30$ musician’s earplugs and they never worked very well. With them in I couldn’t make out the words a singer was singing, and always felt like I was missing out on the music.

My GF has a pair of 20$ musicians plugs she likes just fine (“downbeats”), and she doesn’t feel like they ruin the sound. So maybe custom molded isn’t as important as a good filter?

For sleeping, shooting, or settings where hearing isn’t important, the foam ones are fine.

I went back to work once (programming) after a couple of beers at the bar. Turns out not a job I can do while drinking.

Out there somewhere, but not at jawg.io unless you’re using Street Complete. I mean I’ve heard worse and its probably no big deal, but best to be transparent about it so users can make an informed decision.

Contrast with OSMAND, where I downloaded my entire state and I can use the app without internet access at all.

Its gonna know what tiles you’re downloading and thereby your approximate location.

F-Droid says this has “anti-features”:

• This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service
  • Tethered to commercial Jawg.io for map tiles
  • FOSS OpenStreetMap.org and Westnordost.de to get quests, upload data, etc.

What is that about and is it ok? Would my collected data be going to a non-free enterprise? How exactly is the data used, does it go back to openstreetmaps?

Good movie! Anora the stripper and the bodyguard are two sides of the same coin - competent yet powerless underlings warped by their relationship with the powerful rich.
