Try as I may to avoid this absurd political reality I find myself in, I am continuously dumbfounded by these headlines. I have to check everytime if the post is an Onion article.

Kagi if you are willing to pay for the service. I think that's reasonable but your needs may vary.
13 miles, only hit a mailbox on the way, too young to charge criminally.
Yep, first gen Tacoma is perfect in my mind. The new tacos are bigger than the F150 was! Why!? It's ridiculous.
There's some narrative wiggle room if you want to be generous with the interpretation of the ending, but essentially yeah that's the ending. Total dumpster fire.
Here's actually why: They took the story about Eric and Shelly, two sweet and innocent beacons of light in their community of poverty and crime, whose lives were snuffed out for standing up for their community against a criminal slumlord, with Eric's undying love for his bride-to-be transforming him into a vessel for righteous retribution and they fucking turned it into a story about a couple lustful hedonists on a two week bender after escaping rehab. Shelly and Eric are murdered by the most forgettable villain who for some reason can ASMR you into killing yourself not to unlike the first half of this boring snooze fest of a plot finally punctuated by a cool action sequence when Eric goes to the Opera, kills every security guard on duty. I'm pretty sure one of those guys was one day away from retirement and another wasn't even supposed to be there that day. To bad Eric is gonna murder hobo your ass because some patron inside killed his new fuck-buddy. And to top it all off SPOILER ALERT the whole fucking thing never happened because surprise surprise the EMT only had one NARCAN injection left and he used it on Shelly. I guess it was all a drug-fueled near death experience. 1/10 don't even pirate it.
Make it so number one.
That consciousness arises from matter as some emergent phenomenon. Integrated information theory, micro-tubules, or whatever: no.
I believe consciousness is fundamental.
I hate this for them. I feel like the new store location has been a lot of trouble.

This one is a bit hard-won for me. You see I used to be an asshole. It was my brand. I thought "it's just in my nature".
Fortunately, I was also a student of religion (mostly because I was a militant atheist. Know your enemy and all that). Studying Buddhism, I began to observe the nature of self. I found enough distance from it to see its transient nature.
I realized being an asshole was a choice and I could just as easily choose otherwise. Soon I began to discover this was true of most character traits.
I'm not saying you don't have consistent patterns of behavior. I'll hopefully always be curious and analytical. But for the most part, the way you conduct yourself and where you focus your attention is a choice.
So, if you're not happy with who you are maybe don't be so attached to the idea of 'who you are". And if that seems hard, observe what you pay your attention to and try to find the distance between observation and behavior. In that gap lies the choice you make, consciously or not, to be "you".
Strength Before Weakness
Use a vacuum cleaner with a detached hose. While applying suction from the screen side, slide the nozzle up while dragging the card with it.
This one was actually quite entertaining. When the episode switched from the Live Action "previously on" recap to the animated Lower Decks crew, I was tickled. The second Jack Quaid came through the portal as Boimler, I was invested. He nails the live action portrayal. I also loved him as Hughie in The Boys.
Possible to Block an Instance?
Is it possible to block a specific instance (e.g. lemmynsfw.com) not just a community on an instance (e.g. celebs@lemmynsfw.com)? I'm looking in the settings, but don't see that option. The goal isn't to block all NSFW posts, just filter out the majority of them coming from specific instances. Yes, I know I can just blur them and I do.
βWhat is better: to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?β β Paarthurnax, Skyrim
Fire in the Sky Just no. I couldn't even look at an image of a grey alien for years. Had to look away during the opening credits of X-files because they flashed an image of a grey. I got over it. I actually rewatched it during the pandemic lock-in. It holds up pretty well.
I named my truck Artax because I'm gonna cry like a little bitch when it finally dies.
Is there a way to have links automatically open in a new tab?
I'm so used to RES that this is mildly infuriating. I click on a link expecting is to open in the background for review later and instead it opens in the current tab obliterating my current position. Hitting back will get me to approximately the same place I was but it's usually a whole page behind.
Netgear Nighthawk Router is Randomly Denying Connections
This is driving me nutty. I've got a Netgear Nighthawk router. It is set up with two WiFi SSIDs one for 2.4 and 5 GHz. Both are set to DHCP. I've got about 30 devices connected at any given time. Most of those are my smart bulbs, which are all connected on the 2.4 GHz channel. Occasionally, and seemingly randomly, my phones will drop connection and will not be able to reconnect. The phone can see the SSID broadcast for my network, it will attempt a connection, but the connection will be refused. I've tried forgetting and reconnecting to the network on my phone but that does nothing. I've tried a static IP, nope. The only thing that resolves it is restarting the router.
Whenever the routers reboots, it will deny all attempted connections unless I turn off all my smart bulbs and reconnect one at a time. If I do this I can get everything connected. But eventually my phone will get disconnected, usually from leaving the network range, an
Is there a way set the default language for my posts and comments?
I've tried setting this option in account settings but I still get asked for every post and comment. The drop-down defaults to "Select Language" with "Undetermined" and "English" as the options within.
What is the safest way to play a game that uses a modded Steam_api.dll to avoid getting banned?
Hypothetically, if someone were to download a Steam game from FG what's the best operating procedure to avoid being Steam banned? For example, I understand that steam_api.dll will often be quarantined by MS Defender because the game uses a modded version of that file. Once it's restored what steps would you take to proceed? Log out of steam? Disable internet access? Kill all Steam processes?
