• Create a common EU army
• Put EU defense bases on Greenland
• Invite Canada to become a EU member
• Build an anti-immigrant wall on the EU-USA border and make the Americans pay for it

One tip when you have kids: If all the accounts are set up correctly as family accounts you can control playtime right in the settings. The PS will then log out the kids after (say) one hour of play automatically.

Using the PSN website you can grant an extension day by day. When my son had done his homework before playing I would regularly grant another hour. “Can I play more? - Have you done your homework? - Yes - No problem”

In the long run that conditioned him to do his stuff before playing. (And I did trust him, when he said he was finished with his work)

When you have kids it’s really worth finding out how to set that up. And it saved us sooooo many “turn it off now” discussions.

When my life turned upside down and a lot of shit happened I got interested in Stoicism to the point I even read a bit of Seneca.

I never felt it as a way to be emotionless or a way to hide or suppress emotions , but rather as a way to just accept my them and “yeah, I see and acknowledge I feel like crap, no need to go crazy about it” (in my situation). It brought an understanding to me that not everything that happens is about me personally and I stop fighting what I can’t change to put my focus where I can have an influence.

Warning: this is not a definition of stoicism, but what I took away from it for myself.

I have a Bluetooth controlled vibrator. Reverse engineered the app (which has a chat function) and it has a blacklist of words (mainly Chinese) you’re not allowed to text using the app.

I did not check if your horny chat gets copied to Chinese spy agencies, but I suspect that will be done on the server.

Of course Donbas will join Russia with your scheme. All the Ukrainians have been displaced. It is nothing else but colonization of Ukraine by Russia.

To be fair, only the people who lived in Donbas until the little green men invaded 8 years ago would need to be asked in a referendum.

https://xkcd.com/37/ oh wow, I need some mind-bleach now.

There’s another trick - checking against street maps. When you walk/drive/ride around a corner the phone can use it’s inaccurate GPS reading and update it according to where the corner is. Of course it doesn’t use ONE corner. to fully update your position, it just nudges the position a bit closer.

In case you are navigating a lot of street corners, after a time an inaccurate GPS position will be corrected.

There’s even more input to the algorithm (location of known WIFI Hotspots for example etc) and they are all combined with a “Kalman filter”.

I can’t relate as well, as I live in a city where things are really really aafe. But there are places where a women are afraid to walk alone in the dark, even for a few steps. (And even in safe places some people are quite afraid)

I’d be very careful with remote diagnosis. You. might be right, she needs therapy. She might just be afraid, because something bad happened to her some time.

The only way is for OP to have a good talk with her what’s bothering her - and then he may come to a conclusion. As of now, there’s just not enough information.

Speaking for a friend, they crashed the Mini Clubman S I love… sorry, THEY loved very much because of a WhatsApp that just arrived. Some one five cars ahead or so had to slam their brakes - eyes on the street would have made the reaction time “just enough” but even looking away for one second caused the crash.

Learn from my err friend, don’t look at your phone while driving, even for a very short time.

Damage on the Mini was more than its worth at the time. No one was injured, but even what looks like a small fender bender can quickly get very expensive nowadays.

Where’s the problem? If the door opens blows out en route the astronauts will probably still reentry.

As gas stations have enough room for more expensive “ultimate” versions of fuel, I don’t think that’s the reason. You can frequently get two kinds of Diesel and three kinds of Gas at the pump.

O. t. o. h…maybe the whole “premium fuel” hype resulted from stations having additional tanks after leaded fuel was phased out.

Tbh, I have no idea. The whole of Europe was late to this. The first catalytic conveter cars were sold in 1973 in the US and 1985 in Germany.

Switzerland made them obligatory in 1986, Germany made them obligatory only in 1993 - because that was an EU-wide regulation.

The only thing I can imagine is the big political influence car makers have in Germany, but that’s just “what sounds reasonable to me”, no proof.

Fuck, Germany introduced unleaded fuel only in 1984 and still offered leaded fuel for a long time.

It was required because of the introduction of catalytic converters, which would get damaged by lead in the fuel.

When I was at Bundeswehr I was in hospital for some time and got some thorough diagnosis. They asked me if I worked with lead in the past (no), so I seem to have at least some lead levels in my body.

(Can’t think of a I AM NOT CRAZY pun right now)

When I batch cook I fill portions of hot food into glass jars with screw lids and keep them in the fridge. (Those glass jars contained yogurt when I bought them, when I need more I buy more yogurt and eat it)

Each jar is 1/2l so a good size for one portion and I only open them when I take them out of the fridge for usage. By filling hot, keeping cool and not opening them (so introducing only few microorganisms) they stay OK for at least a week.

OP did take the photo themselves, it’s not something they found on the web.

My neighbor country, the Czech Republic also has very permissive gun control laws - it has a lot less shooting incidents per capita than the US.

So, while gun control is one thing that’s really missing and should be done, there’s more going on - sometimes you read the word “mental health crisis”

Tbh, I also know a lot of dumb motherfuckers, but in the US a larger amount of dumb motherfuckers seem to become homicidal twats.

Saying he’s just a whack-job wanting to kill lotso-people is not enough, why the fuck does this happen so frequently?

My over 10 year old chinese bluetooth speaker connects as an audio device when plugged in with the USB cable to a PC.

This seems to be a feature that’s hard to search for, as it wasn’t even announced in the marketing material.

Heh. When my daughter was small, she could say spaghetti, but also added the initial “s” to baguette, making it a “spaguette” .

We’re German, by the way, so we frequently eat both.

I had to google, maybe some else wants to know: Galileo units is a (non-SI) measure of acceleration.

1 gal = 1 cm/s^2

100 gal = 1 m/s^2

So the 500-something gal from the article is roughly around half the acceleration of gravity we normally feel.
