Bingo

So if I understand this correctly, OP is fucking a girl that he doesn’t like hanging out with that much but pretends he does for the “relationship,” and is in an emotionally committed relationship with a girl he pretends he doesn’t want to fuck but definitely doesn’t want to fuck him. Honestly this is the only logical…

You should also know what basic precautions/actions to take if you find yourself in a thunderstorm or attacked by an animal. It’s ok to spend a little bit of time preparing for unlikely scenarios, just like it’s ok to spend a little bit of time eating chips and commenting on Lifehacker (guilty).

I grew up in NO, went through Katrina and the immediate aftermath, moved away for a while to other cities in the US, and recently came back for family reasons. Many people adequately cover what tourists should and should not do, and I have nothing to comment about that because I’m not much of a good tourist myself.

A gestapo-esque intolerance to noise that isn’t coming from the theater speakers or an appropriate audience reaction (brief gasp, laugh, etc). Candy and food exclusively in cardboard containers that do not crinkle.

Most smart lighting systems are exactly like this - replace the switch or dimmer with a smart one (or for new construction/remodels, a centralized approach with switching/dimming modules). There are a very select few that require replacing the bulbs or fixtures and they are far less popular.

My old company made remote workers use either a company-provided laptop or a VM set up such that all traffic went through the VPN connection - ostensibly for security but really for logging. My current one only directs requests for internal traffic to the VPN - i.e. web browsing is through my regular internet…

Exactly this. I had a manual shitbox for a few years and loved it. It finally bit the dust and I got an automatic that I could share with the wife; in that year I’ve been pulled over 3 times and narrowly avoided the tickets, and more prone to last minute corrections/maneuvers because I tend to be a little less aware…

With the Pi-as-power-supply form factor, I think the most obvious use would be to covertly plant one in a place where you’d like to gather information about the wireless environment or snoop for a long period of time. There are programs readily available to crack WiFi encryption with no user interaction and notify you…

I think this is a moot point, as every outraged anti-trans person that I know is concerned about biological men using the ladies’ room. I don’t think that most men will give a single shit (ha) if there is a biological woman standing next to or across from them at a trough-style urinal using a shee-wee, other than a…

A little understanding and patience goes a long way. As someone who is married to a person with borderline, I urge you to go fuck yourself, that’s all I’m sayin.

Any capable project management software typically allows you to view it as a Gannt chart with dependencies (e.g. task B can’t start until task A ends). You can pretty easily set it up to push against a hard deadline, and it will then be easy to see (and show your boss/client) how letting a task slip in the middle can…

As others have noted, there are better financial instruments in which to invest your money and see a larger return over a shorter period of time. For myself and many others, the “investment” is in the peace of mind that comes from stability and some control over your own destiny that you can’t get when you’re using…

I guess it’s just as well. I’ve recently been introduced to the ludicrous data caps associated with satellite internet, and have been debating if I am still able to watch enough Netflix streaming content to justify the price of a subscription and the loss of whatever else I would use that data allowance for. Looks…

I totally agree with letting your wallet do the talking. If you find a site, service, software, band, artist, director, etc that churns out some good work - throw a few bucks their way directly. Subscribe to the paid tier for a couple months at least. Hit that donate button. Buy some schwag. Re-gift them a promo code…

Thank you for confirming my assumptions about funeral work - that at its core, it’s just a focused subset of party/event planning, which itself is a horrifyingly boring profession between brief moments of panic while attempting to keep on a game face. Fair assessment?

Even if I were misogynistic, this would make no sense. Why would I want to be with a baby fresh girl and have to train her to do all the fun sexual shit that I like and help her figure out what she likes (lol like that matters), when I can have my fellow bros do it for me ahead of time and get her used to it?

I don’t know of any proper research materials offhand that reflect that specific point; that observation is based on my field experience calibrating displays of all sizes. Here are a couple that kind of touch on it:

It really comes down to how compressed your video is, and how well your video processor handles functions such as deinterlacing, upsampling, etc. I’ve put in lots of big screens that handle this content admirably, but I wouldn’t say they’re cheap either by themselves or certainly not after adding a good outboard…

These types of calculators border on useless for most applications. 4K displays generally offer better color reproduction, gradients and saturation as a direct result of the higher resolution, even if you can’t distinguish individual pixels at a given distance. That’s the most obvious difference that almost anyone can…
