Toshiba used to sell a laptop (IIRC the model name was R500) back in like 2008 that had a mirror behind the screen, meaning that bright sunlight would be reflected back through the LCD and always respond to external lighting conditions no matter how bright. The image quality and color was shitty, but you could use it in the sun. Battery time was also extremely impressive.

There’s no “ground” with Trump. He just runs toward anything that looks shiny.

Sorry I don’t follow your point.

Typical Linux distributions are almost objectively harder to use than Android. I’d be surprised if anyone really disagrees with this. When someone complains about Linux being hard to use, it’s the POSIX-based Linux distributions that must support arbitrary hardware (often poorly so) that they refer to. I don’t need to care about installing NVidia drivers and whether they’re compatible with EFI handover when I buy an Android phone.

I think the implied meaning is that it’s a very clever question and it’s unexpected for someone so young to think of it. So it’s kind of a humblebrag that their daughter is smart.

She could definitely be smart and likely isn’t dumb, but I don’t think this level of thinking is out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.

“This is pure BS. If Russian elites wanted (Russian President Vladimir) Putin out, it would have happened in 2022,” Anton Barbashin, co-founder and editorial director at Riddle Russia, told the Kyiv Independent.

Why? Is the Russian elite incapable of changing its mind?

They’ve backed on tons of things before without admitting any wrongdoing, I don’t see how this is different

This would have been a good time to have it

“No worries I won’t touch your gf, I just wanna sit and watch while you guys have sex.”

Not necessarily. The Pixel 9P has three different microphones and they are used differently for different situations (but not all at once). All I can say is the person on the other end can’t hear me unless I turn on speakerphone.

My microphone is broken. People hear me better if I switch to speakerphone.

Who makes the rules?

I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.

Not sure if extra shitty shitpost or just spam…

I downloaded more RAM in the 90s. It was a product called RAM Doubler for the Macintosh. At that time memory had to be pre-allocated for applications through a setting in the resource fork, always used exactly the amount you set, and couldn’t grow beyond that. It was static, making it hard to run multiple programs simultaneously. RAM Doubler did wonders to work around that OS limitation.

In Swedish, the word for a single log of poo is “bajskorv” (literally translated: “poo sausage”).

After that final hour, respect returns to the normal amount.

I’ve dated quite a few women and had a couple of long-term relationships. They all seem reluctant to give a blowjob - it happens but rarely. I’ve never pushed it, only shown in every way I can how much I enjoy it when it does happen. My current domestic partner does it, but I probably go down on her 10-20x more often than she does me.

But it’s also kind of a general pattern that they expect me to take the initiative in sex, and they are relatively passive. One hypothesis I have is that taking too much initiative makes them feel “slutty” or that their own desirability is not confirmed enough. Maybe this is just a part of that general pattern. But what do I know.
