Never liked alcohol much, and while getting a nice weed buzz every now and again is fun to chill out, I do that twice a year at most. For me it’s all about finding something that is both interesting, entertaining and calming at the same time. I get that from woodworking or general DIY stuff, reading, and Yoga. But everybody is different.
Without a soul, the concept of reincarnation doesn’t exist. Else we are just talking about energy transfer, which absolutely happens after cellular death. Your physical matter is absorbed and becomes part of other organisms.
Only if they are unable to care for themselves and do not qualify for subsidies/grants.
Zero is the norm in Germany, and I appreciate it that way. Other than providing housing until I moved out at 19 shortly after finishing high school, I got no monetary support from family.
Plenty of good advice, assistance with where and how to apply for grants, actual help on how to conduct research during uni, helping carry stuff when I moved houses, helping to draft my first cv and cover letters, and moral support and whatnot, sure.
But money? Other than maybe sending me 200 Euro for my birthday or ordering pizza when I visited, nothing, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nothing prepares people more for adulthood than being responsible, and at the same time not feeling you have to pay back.
I’ve just switched from Windows 10 to Windows 10 IoT LTSC (long term support channel), designed for IoT means there’s no AI garbage, game bar and any other crap installed, and I get updates until 2032.
Quite happy with it, after a disastrous experience with Windows 11 that essentially killed my system.
And no, I can’t switch to Linux due to company requirements. I work in finance and some of the banks we use operate by hardware tokens that only have Windows drivers.
Nah their website got hijacked and instead of an ISO they spread malware. The system itself was never at risk, if you ran it.
I upgraded to Windows 11 last week after my laptop initially came with it 2 years ago, but was so bloated and slow I installed Windows 10 from USB.
With the EoL I reluctantly upgraded due to company policy, and it was running surprisingly smooth. Really thought they’d fixed it. Only that two days later when I booted the system, I had a blue screen - the first one I have seen since Windows XP.
Page fault in non-page area 0x50 - google suggests reboots, or if they don’t bring any progress, boot into safe mode and update all drivers. Only that I couldn’t boot into safe mode, the BSOD locked me out.
Second suggestion was faulty RAM. Did a memtest from boot stick, no fault.
Third suggestion was to run checkdisk and scm or whatever it was called (some system file integrity check). All good.
Fourth suggestion was to boot into recovery mode, roll back into the system image the Windows 11 installer created, and redo the upgrade. Only to find out that the system restore point had not been created, despite the info box during the installation that this was happening.
Last suggestion was to reinstall Windows 11 from the repair mode, and select the “keep files” option. The offline installer crashed at 25% repeatedly, the online installer moved to 92% and stopped there. Repeatedly, again (tried 3x, and it takes about 1h to get there).
After all that frustration I had enough of that shit and installed Windows 10 IoT LTSC with updates until 2032. When the time comes I’ll either have a new job where I can use Xubuntu, or Microsoft installed on a chip in my brain. Let’s see.
If you’re seeding more than one file to more than one concurrent user, chances are, your drive needs to switch around and buffer quite a bit left and right to get the material you’re seeding cached. That sounds like fairly formal behavior.
Saunas in Germany are more an adult thing, at least as a kid I never went to any, nor do I remember seeing kids there when going now.
Showers in school had individual cabins or at least some dividers between them and curtains to close them, and typically you’d leave your towel hanging on a hook right in front, dry yourself quickly and wrap up to walk back. There was a brief moment of nudity when changing back into regular clothes, but nobody was ever really looking at anybody else.
Samsung is also a synonym for useless bloat, locked boatloaders, intrusive ads, and every other hostile feature ever. They are the last one to open up their phones.
The condition you describe under 2 is called frenulum breve, and it’s sorted by cutting the frenulum and fixing the loose ends with 3 stitches to the shaft. I had exactly the same condition, got it fixed at about 20 years old, and was fully recovered after a week. No more bent out of shape tip, and the foreskin is perfectly intact.
I’d never sacrifice 50% of the feelings for the sake of a shriveled tip to please some invisible sky daddy.
Male genital mutilation should be as outlawed as female.
And… Kids bullying others over their foreskin? I don’t think I ever saw any classmate’s dick in my life. Why is that even a thing?
Guinea pig?
The Edge 70 Ultra comes in Q3/4 2026, that could be a hot contender.
They enforced the verification, but discord was supposed to delete the images right after.
Hm ok. Guess I’ll pass then.
Could you share the text? Or at least a link to some website where they explain what pdf I’m downloading? Deep links to documents that might potentially contain malware are not exactly trust inspiring.
WikiMedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia. Free knowledge for everyone seems like a pretty dope concept.
Just moved abroad for the first time.
That’s banned by default. They are targeting uneducated nonsense.
