Hey, I had been searching for a reasonably priced NC hosting for a while. I even considered a VPS from Hetzner but somehow didn’t find this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yea, I am not surprised given that the regular lane keep is still ghost braking when going under bridges.

Still, I am surprised how well they are doing, using only cameras.

A little while ago I met someone whose job is to worry about international affairs and they were worried about operating systems.

After that I started worrying about every end user device in Ukraine shutting down until peace was negotiated.

I just had the opposite happen.

I needed to get an analog audio signal out from an old PS3, but it has an odd proprietary connector.

How a converter cable for that ended in my cable bin Ill never know, but the purpose of the bin has been vindicated for at least a decade.

Thanks, really interesting!

Wait why?

I know exactly what you mean.

It’s like sleep is trying to pull you in with whisps of itself like the enticing fingers of a lover. You act coy, trying to keep afloat because the boundary feels… Exquisite. The whisps become more demanding little by little until finally you succumb and let them take you in and it feels like floating though clouds of immaterial boobs.

And then you are asleep.

In Finland there is a party whose social feed was full of line items from the national budget they thought worth eliminating.

It’s really the only time when I’ve seen someone really take a look at the budget and try to figure out how to save from the non-essentials instead of arguing about how much to spend on eg. Hospitals vs defence.

As I understand accounting, you really don’t need to do stuff like this to write off your assets.

I’m not saying there isn’t a cynical corporate reason for doing this but I doubt this is it.

That hiding candy (or other things people wanted) was a universal property of grandmothers.

English is not my first language, but I had heard the expression “search all nooks and crannies”, but thought the last word was grannies - cranny is an unusual word.

Now,my own grandmother was in the habit of hiding candy for us to find. I thought the expression existed because all grannies hid things. Search all nooks and grannies!

20k is not a lot for betraying your country.

They did not breach national airspace.

Yote has class.

I have this in a big way. My spouse is a master chef and I refuse to eat at restaurants which serve foods from her home country because they can’t compete.

Or we pretend to be opening a Koskenkorva bottle in whatever orientation the bolt is in.

My grandfather’s cat used to play goalie. She would guard some area, like a doorway and expect us to tty to toss a ball or something through. She’d then catch it and return the ball to us for more.

I mean, killing someone isn’t going to bring their money back. Putin has his boyars thrown out of windows to send a message, that’s why it’s obvious.
