I listen to and from work. It’s mostly for background noise and the local news.

They give me a problem to solve, it’s up to me what tools I use.

If i can do it in the same time or faster with my choice of software I will.

6-7 at night and a 30 minute nap in a chair

For some 20 years VLC has been installed on my computers though streaming has made it less used than before.

Steam: not been enshittified yet. Also one of the great forces behind Linux gaming being more mainstream.

Does the Linux kernel count? It’s been 12 years since I tilted at a faulty network driver on windows 7 and just uninstalled it and did not look back. There has been many different distributions since (now I use arch btw) but the kernel is the same.

Step 1 is probably to put yourself into situations where it’s socially acceptable to approach you.

You’re only in control of yourself. Write thoughtful and positive posts, replies. Up/downvote based on how thoughtful and positive you think posts are.

You don’t have much power but what you have you can use.

UN: USA along with a few other countries have a veto. Anything they don’t like they can say no to and it will not pass. I’m not sure how you think you’d be kicked out.

NATO: has no provision for kicking out a member. The worst you can do and that can be done in return is that when article 5 is invoked US (or other allies) offer 3 copies of the book “the art of the deal” (other allies would offer the US how to win friends and influence people).

Are you old enough to remember the Iraq war in 2003 and the general sentiment among other western countries back then?

The last slice of bread gets a special treat. A layer of cheese thicker than the bread itself!

And by tomorrow your sandwich will have burnt all 3 holes.

I don’t understand: leftover cheese? I always use exactly as much as I have at home.

Date: sure, why not. I don’t want to die curious. But I’m really not into guys so if you come across as one I’ll pass, which makes it seem like I’d be wasting both of ours time by not going for a woman to begin with.

Put it in the blender piece by piece and flush it down the toilet Or put it in your pocket and feed it to the birds in the local park.

So you’d rather live in the autocratic aggressor in the largest land war in Europe since the end of WW2?

The breeds I’ve owned i can tell from shape and size. Other breeds I’d have to see what gear they are packing.

If it’s pegged to the USD it will remain there until their central bank says it won’t. As long as the Jordanian central bank has enough USD in reserve it won’t have any problems keeping it pegged.

Having a high or low valued currency does not matter at all (until you run out of space to put zeros on the bill). Changes in the currency value matter a lot.

Having oil or not makes no difference to if you should have a high or low valued currency either.

Pol pot killed about 25% of Cambodias population and deserve a nomination.

Pick someone’s brain probably ranks quite high on psycho scale

While we could enforce the rule of link being the attribution, as a general rule it’s not what will happen when someone shares anything on the Internet. It will be ripped out of context and posted on random places with zero attribution.

Exhibit A: yourself. Your post history does only occasionally contain links.
