Impartial?

NPR hasn’t been impartial in my lifetime. See also the radio programs the US projected to the rest of the world (I forget the name of it) - essentially a propaganda arm of the government…

Government should have zero involvement with such stuff.

When I smell my hair burning

Well said.

OP’s full of shit.

Probably conflating ECT with “shock collars”.

I don’t

Any more than I think about Canadians, or Italians, or Welsh, or Czech.

When pushed, best I got is “you do you”

Hahah, enjoy the upvote

This is what I always go back to. Had it been faked, and the Soviet Union knew, wouldn’t they have used that info to embarrass the US?

And they definitely would’ve known.

They are?

Where was the memo? Guess I missed it.

Also I’ve never heard anyone call Musk “tough”.

This looks awesome!

Don’t need to convince me - breakfast potatoes with roasted onions is fantastic

Not youtube, but check your local library for productions by The Great Courses/The Teaching Company.

They produce videos of actual college courses by professors from schools like Columbia, Harvard, etc.

There used to be one on multiple religions, it was very long (probably 40+ 30 min videos). They’ve since split it into separate courses on each religion.

It’s really amazing, the professors are completely neutral (or perhaps sympathetic/understanding as to the circumstances that birthed each religion). They all approach it from an historical context to develop an understanding of each religion.

TGC also has a couple courses on Pagan beliefs, Nordic religions (for lack of a better word), etc.

I’ve collected about ten of the courses and ripped them to Mp4 and Mp3 so I can watch or listen as I want.

Not sure why so many people decided to downvote your question - it’s good to want to understand human history and the paradigms that developed over time to bring us here today.

I gave you an upvote when you were zero, and someone has already downvoted that. Bunch of Luddites.

Funny someone downvoted you - clearly they’ve never dealt with something un- or poorly documented.

I think that’s just movies - kids just wouldn’t like coffee because it’s bitter. No one I’ve known has said kids can’t have coffee, just recognize they won’t like it.

Hell, my father let me taste his coffee and beer when I was 5-ish because I was curious. I disliked the coffee completely, but the beer had something…

I stumbled on liking coffee in my 20’s.

Edit: caffeine effects people differently. As a young adult caffeine wouldn’t keep me from sleeping, today if I have coffee late in the day it may impact my sleep. A sibling can’t have any caffeine after lunch or it definitely messes with sleep.

It’s a “can’t be bothered” thing: age is irrelevant.

As someone in the “older” crowd, I can learn just about anything, I’m just sick and fucking tired of lazy ass devs who can’t be bothered to write proper fucking docs.

Note: I’ve been writing docs for going on 40 years as part of my job. It’s fucking tedious to do it well, to verify what you wrote actually works.

No, it’s not that it’s harder to learn (it may be) it’s that I have other shit to do too, and some dumbass has made using whatever tool way fucking more obtuse than it needs to be and hasn’t bothered to even explain their approach, their paradigm, in the all but non-existent docs.

Github’s website is an example - it leads with changes, the intro is halfway down the page, even then most descriptions are terse. Tech writers the world around are having strokes every time they have to look at it.

So the recent episode of Good Cop/Bad Cop was no Agatha Christie murder.

I use Joplin with Syncthing and it works fine, so far?

Is there something about it that’s known to have issues with ST that I just haven’t run into yet?

Yea, not having a better view of note titles is a downside. I really like having that high-level view

Word can convert PDFs, then its “easy” to copy the data to excel and manipulate it there

Why would I?

I use a mesh vpn to manage my servers otherwise, what’s the difference?

Hell I RDP to them all the time (or SSH) - if anything it’s providing another layer of encryption.

Damn you for making me be conscious of this now.

Damn you to hell!

(Upvote granted)

That would only apply if Play services are involved.

I’ve installed many apps on devices with no play store, no networking, etc.

Google will need a mechanism to enforce this, that will be Play Services.
