Not officially. It was removed in 2023.

I hate how all the news cycle is about him, just because he wanted it.

Yeah, nothing beats a clean rectum.

Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome.

One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.

A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.

Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, “My poor fellow, don’t you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren’t going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you’re sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite.”

The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: “Moishe, look who’s trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing.”

It’s the other way around. Addicting things like drugs etc. are mimicking or triggering the natural endorphins, which are released in sex.

The reason addicts say that drugs are better than sex is that they do the same thing, but the drugs are 100% successful, easier to obtain and dose.

Sex is an instinct, a naturally born addiction. Sex addiction is a different thing though. That’s when people can’t control their urges.

Nobody said this had to be easy/everyday things.

There’s a lack of linux native VSTs, but other than that my exp has been that Linux is both easier, less demanding and more stable than Windows for audio. Don’t know how it compares to Mac.

Plumbing. I’m not a plumber and I’m not particularly good at it, but it’s one of those things that most people won’t even consider looking at.

Also, 3D visualization. I had a carpenter do the gutters on my house and I explicitly told him that the reason I didn’t do them myself was that the eaves are slanted inwards so that the slope on the gutters would cause the gutters to go inwards when it goes downwards, and I was unsure what best practise was for that case, where to get the proper hangers for this or if we’d need to put a vertical board up first in order to make it work. He assured me that it’d be fine, having done many gutters before. When I got home, he had put ordinary hangers right on the slanted eaves, and the gutters were halfway under the roof at one end. He stood there scratching his head and tried to argue that the wall of the house was not straight, because he could simply not see any other reason for it to do that.

Yeah that’s a well known southern insult. It’s really not that subtle, but then again, god didn’t intend for everyone to be as smart as you.

“Ding ding ding!”

I think it’s condescending as fuck.

I wouldn’t think too much into it. I guess that most users here just don’t have older kids yet, so they might lack the perspective of being the ones to give advice that kids don’t listen to.

My own kids aren’t that old yet and will still listen, but I really hope that one day they will stop listening, because then I know I’ve taught them to be independent.

Rich people don’t buy those things, like jets and infrastructure. They own companies that buy those things.

I think that for an individual rich person, their personal purchases are still within the million dollar range. Luxury doesn’t come from a single purchase. It’s the cost of upkeep that really separates rich from poor.

One thing that shocked me is the price of getting an elevator in a house. It easily costs as much as a small house, but it’s the maintenance that is gross. It can cost about the same as a full time employee just to own one. It makes sense in a tall apartment building where the elevator is in constant use by many people, but for rich people who are never home and only use it maybe once a day, it’s ridiculously expensive to pay that much just to not walk a stair.

Intimidation and maybe recruiting. Best case.

I suppose security is already on point at such an event, so all they have to do at such place, worst case, is to make a brutal display of power by getting into fights with random people.

His name is Jürgen Klopp. Football coach.

He started working with Trivago on 2024. Prior to that, they used American actor Tim Williams.

The images are from Houston.

The parking lot picture is from the 1970s, so probably not exactly fair to compare to a modern city. I don’t know (care about) how it looks now.

I don’t see a problem. Mickey Mouse isn’t a real mouse either.

It’s a pretty vague description, but it reminds me of a handpan drum, or vibraphone.

Anything can rattle your bones when in played loud enough, but if you’re looking for a way to create the kind of sound that fills the room without being loud, try adding chorus, reverb and stereo delays.

I was playing around with such the other day, in making an effect chain that would catch the tail of a reverb and then amplify it into an endless delay loop where the entire sound is made from the effect of something that doesn’t exist anymore.

That’s unbelievable. The Greeks won’t steal anybody’s jobs.
