it's not enough that people are poor, they need to be forced to suffer as well

ok, I'll program a HUD with an inventory. to start everyone gets 5 slots to hold stuff

be wonderful to be able to cut your car instead of park it, then paste when you're ready to go.

China has boomed in the last decade and these folks will emulate anything they think might get them a bigger slice of the pie

one of the most profitable companies in the world, it seems very likely

"fake oppression" as she does her best to oppress them

except only loosing 568m is just "the price of doing business" for them and it's not much of a deterrent to make them stop. they made more than that by doing this so it's still a net profit

weird to think that the richest people in the world wouldn't try to get more money, that's their entire thing

why not use more than one? use ddg for general searches of non location based things. then switch to a different preferred search for location based things

I'm interested in seeing how this changes when using duck duck go front end at duck.ai

i came to say that we can definitely have both. thank you for explaining this thoroughly.

buttery males?

i think the difference was only ever going to be when they felt like running the extra processing to do the work.

so these are the only 2 ways then? huge if true

What sorts of changes you should make depends on how you use your phone and your security plan. There is no one-size-fits-all collection of recommended settings to change. Instead, we’ll explain what settings do to help you decide if they’re worth altering.

playing DVDs on Windows
Windows stopped including a codec to play DVDs a couple versions ago. what's a good way of still playing them on Windows 10 or 11?
i own DVDs but I'm looking for software options that work. VLC doesn't unless i get that missing codec, etc
edit: everyone is stopping that VLC can do it with no extra requirements. it didn't work before but I'll try again


In a landmark ruling, a federal district court held that backdoor searches of databases full of Americans’ private communications collected under Section 702 ordinarily require a warrant. Congress should uphold its responsibility to protect civil rights and civil liberties by refusing to renew Secti...

my current routine - 4day (2x2)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dAW_d8rN9tfTYrV9NPzc8FjXcm7HJ3NhJzRCbSSgEww/edit?usp=sharing
it's a 4 day schedule with big emphasis on chest/back which is twice a week (1 day that's chest heavy and the other is back heavy)
the remaining 2 days are arms and legs days with one day being squat/quad focused and the other being a deadlift/glute+ham focus.
I have been doing asynchronous splits for a couple years now (that means I rotate through the days without paying attention to what day of the week it is) I won't necessarily do only 4 days a week and will workout anywhere from 4-6 days just cycling through the plan.
I'll bump the weight on individual movements whenever I have pushed the previous weight through the rep ranges.

welcome
like a lot of us, I'm new here. i will try to learn what options are available and fill this up with some basic info to get people started.
