  I remember reading somewhere you can do this with cruises. When you are on the border UMT -11 and -12, you can have 2 and that leaves you 22 hours to travel to the border of +11 and +12. You might even squeeze an extra celebration out.

  I didn’t have the option either. Waiting for the renewal to come up and switching to Nextcloud with Proton.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  2 years ago I went to youtube without logging into my account. The amount of right wing manosphere crap being recommended to new accounts was frightening. Within 5 minutes there was a video playing of how women should be subservient to men because their role is basically a house cleaning baby factory with no free will.

  I genuinely think google should be sued the everliving shit out of them for allowing this crap to be pushed. They looked at what facebook did and went “Oh, that’s great. Let’s do that as well!”

  I’m still convinced he’s a sith lord, so I think he doesn’t talk as weird as he does when he’s not playing the bumbling idiot. But I probably would still prefer to look like him just in case.

  They build their homes in the pond out of reach of predators like wolves or bears. They also dig escape routes from their den under the water. They’re herbivores so it’s not for fish, btw.

  The hole for the tool (I actually don’t know the proper name) is small enough for ants to get through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got 3 of those at home (actually got one as a gift last week) but we don’t use it because the open honey jar attracts ants. So we use spoons. I do like it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always wear protection, folks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought my wife noise cancelling ear plugs for sleeping because I (in her words) snore like a pig. She has several recordings to back that up. So I bought her these noise cancelling earplugs (Soundcore A20 in case anyone is interested) in the hopes it will allow her to sleep. I will eventually get surgery done for it, because I also have apnea. She hasn’t put them to the test yet because it’s not always that she can’t sleep, but I hope they will serve her well.

  Just another AI agent bro, that will fix th

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I’m being completely honest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian ambassador slams EU frozen assets plan for Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like Russia one bit, but there would be serious consequences (undermining the trust in the euro as a financial asset) that would have long term negative consequences, not to mention the dubious legality of the plan concocted by the European Commission and the fact that any EU country can veto the extension of the sanctions (Hungary or Slovakia being the most likely culprits) which would mean the funds are free again.

  I think the Europe should finance Ukraine, but this is the wrong mechanism to do so. The only politically viable way is through bilateral country-to-country financial support, where the EC can play a coordinating role.

  But the seizing of the frozen assets is just not going to work, as every lawyer involved has already stated multiple times and not a single competent finance minister in the EU (or anywhere really) would ever agree to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Religion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My brother was studying to become a Jesuit and there was this running joke amongst the Jesuits about praying where they would go “Why? God doesn’t exist.” This may sound hypocritical and it kind of is, but they consider the religion more a moral framework rather than something to rigorously believe in. That’s also why Pope Francis resonated with many non-believers because, at least the modern Jesuits, apply the moral lessons of the New Testament with a healthy dose of rationality (they are considered the intellectual branch of the church for a reason).

  Very few, if any, Jesuit these days believe in the existence of a god, but they find value in the moral framework and how they can apply that to make this world a better place. It’s the only religious order I can stomach to have conversations with.

  Pichai will have to work through the disruption of having set billions of dollars on fire and seeing hardly any returns.

  Initially it made a lot of sense though. The differences between each fifa version between the first one and 2003 were massive with each iteration. But as the graphics got better and better and the gameplay was more or less settled, it became less sensible to have a new edition each year. After fifa 2003 there were noticeably less differences between the iterations.

  Rush is actually a pretty good band. I remember listening to them a lot when I was 17-18. Now I have to listen to them again…

  The copilot in outlook feature is super handy for summarizing mails from one colleague who writes half a novel each time. That’s about the only handy use I have found for it, for the rest it’s annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nissan vanette and ford focus. Don’t miss either of those and have an automatic now. I still drive a friend’s van from time to time which has a clutch, whoch is good so I don’t forget how to drive it. Although it still feels completely natural since I drove manual for 2 decades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like large 4k displays because the resolution is so good it breaks the immersion when you watch a movie. You can see that they are on a set sometimes, or details of clothing in medieval movies that give away they were created with modern sewing equipment.

  It’s a bit of a stupid reason I guess, but that’s why I don’t want to go above 1080p for tv’s.
