I sometimes pause shows or YT videos I'm watching just to daydream for a little bit about something that just crossed my mind. Additionally I go outside at least once a day to walk or ride my bicycle, which also helps with this.

I don't want to learn from hallucinations where it will change its answers based on me questioning their teachings. I use it for conversations in a language I'm learning, but I quickly learned that asking it grammar questions for example is not a wise decision.

Excuse my ignorance, but how is that migration (especially of older libraries that are apparently being rewritten) not just a copy/paste action from one server to the other? When I build software to deploy it it includes everything it requires library wise. At least the few things I've deployed so far.

At least in Germany our local GiroCards are dual branded (Maestro and V-Pay, although V-Pay is being faded out iirc) so we can pay globally, too

Last time I downloaded it it must've been the mozilla website

I've been on Rinvoq since last summer and I delayed getting on it for that very reason. Reading the risks was really not making me feel well, after I've already taken multiple other medications. The worst part is, that it doesn't work as perfectly as some previous meds have. But at least I can enjoy eating out occasionally again without much worry and can travel again. That quality of life improvement puts it into a slightly better perspective again.

I use Firefox as my default browser and only open the other two occasionally. Just last night I opened Chrome and Edge, and once again gave me a big dialog about applying suggested settings. The only setting was to set it as my default browser. And the options were "ok" and "later".

That still wouldn't justify being asked a hundred times. But I also cannot relate. I use Firefox as my main browser and start Chrome and Edge semi-regularly. Only Edge keeps asking me to make it my default browser. And then of course there were the few times where a Windows update "accidentally" set Edge as my default browser.

I have one pretty much yearly. You have to make sure not to eat the wrong things (like seeds, nuts) several days before and then the day before eat very light food and stop around noon. Then take the laxatives in the evening and again the next day about 4 hours ahead of your procedure. The worst part to me in all of this is really drinking that cup of laxatives. The sedation (for me) has always been dosed well enough that I feel fine within 30-60 minutes after waking up. Although you can't operate a car or other machinery for the rest of the day. But I also don't have to work on those days, so it's a relaxing day to me.

I've switched to 90%, working a total of 36 hours, and spreading that to 9 hours per day. Not even much of a difference on work days, as I used to work more Monday through Thursday to have a shorter Friday. So it's basically 30 minutes more, and a day off. And only 10% less pay instead of 20%.

Switzerland is a lot more expensive, though.

That has irked me for quite some time. I always manually select 1080p, because sometimes YT claims it's already playing 1080p, but it's obviously not and the video starts buffering anew when I select 1080p manually. Quite annoying

What is even worse about these doctors, is that sometimes they may be doctors, but not medical doctors. I watched a video on YT once and the doctor's explanation for why his advice would work seemed a bit weird to me. Checking his credentials it turns out he's not a medical doctor and known for alternate science and questionable view points. All the YT comments were really positive of course, giving any reader zero value or a chance for a different view.

You should still be able to play online. Only the new features such as HD graphics and ranked matchmaking are locked behind the SCR purchase.

Or just dedicated apps. I have two different apps for warnings issued by German authorities. I can select regions that I want to be informed about and I'll get notifications on my phone for a few things. For example if there's a fire and they advise to keep windows closed, extreme weather warnings, and they also used to send out updates about changes to covid related restrictions.

I get paid for 40 hours of my time per week, on average. So I am being paid for my time. Every extra hour I work in one week, I have to compensate in another. And vice versa.

Isn't a treadmill basically that?

In his most recent appearance on the Fragrance podcast he talked about no longer spending more than he has, as he's responsible for so many people's monthly paychecks. He has taken out loans in the past to cover that, apparently. Usually with upcoming deal brand payments as collateral (as those are sometimes paid up to 90 days after the deal)

The basic counter point to that is that dozens of millionaire content creators partake, too. For many people it's also a novelty to be in a MrBeast video. For those already rich content creators an additional motivator may be the clout, of course.

Also you're shooting yourself in the foot by not doing any clickbait, considering that clicks = money. So if you want to make more money on YT, you need more clicks.

I've found ChatGPT quite useful for both coding and learning a language. Even though I have two friends who are native speakers of the language I'm learning, I don't want to bother them with my questions all the time. Especially since ChatGPT will give great explanations about grammar and why something is said the way it is. Also makes for a great practice partner to use your vocabulary and to correct your mistakes. It has definitely helped a lot already

You can even do tickets on Discord. I've been on a server where users were able to create a ticket and then a new channel with the ticket number was created. The channel is private and only the ticket opener and users with the support role(s) can see the channel and communicate in it.

I've had problems when organizing online tournaments using Challonge. I've had to switch to Chrome a few times to do something, since it would regularly break in FF. Also their support page requires you to enter a combination of keys to reveal the email address: sadly this didn't work in FF, too. I've had a few other problems over time, but none that I remember off the top of my head. I've used FF for the past 15+ years and don't usually mind small problems, though.

I usually open links in new tabs while browsing a site. Especially an aggregator site like HN, reddit or gitnews. I always use the mouse wheel to open them. When a site doesn't allow that I already feel a lot less inclined to use it.

I've actually heard of some places checking your ID after writing down your info to ensure you entered the data truthfully.

Yes, but only for a while.

Modern fingerprint readers rely on the conductivity of your finger, so a cut off finger (or the finger of a dead person) can't per se unlock a phone.

any great books in particular that you would suggest of those you've read already?

I've had to install .NET many times. Maybe it's due to people using older windows versions when the software uses a newer .NET version that isn't pre-installed

Otto [1] is the world largest mail order company[2], so not really a good name to pick anyway
