Polite society - “Never, ever discuss politics or religion. Thinking that you can change someone’s mind on either of these subjects is foolish and arrogant and the conversation will always, without fail, end in an argument”
Americans for some fucking reason - “Hold my high fructose corn syrup”
…then next year pass on the costs to their tenants
Bravo
Your not wrong
Oh, the irony
I have a set of Siemens ones that were like 4k
You do get custom made inserts specifically for your ears, extremely precise tuning to adjust your hearing loss, they’re way less visible than earbuds, the batteries last 15 hours, wireless charging, free retuning and adjustments for life and free cleaning for life
Plus, just using earbuds to increase the volume will damage your hearing further, a good audiologist will have studied for years to improve your hearing without damage
Wouldn’t say it’s the best 4k I’ve spent but it’s fucking life changing
I love books
My biggest recommendation is to avoid asking for recommendations online, particularly in reading - centric communities.
People love to pretend their favourite books are classical just through sheer pretentiousness
The most genuine people you’ll find in life are the ones that are perfectly happy to admit they fucking love a trashy thriller
I always find it strange that nobody ever mentions World of Goo
I hate games like that but I couldn’t put it down!
You hit the nail on the head when you said “expats or exiles”
They’re immigrants, and it’s only Brits and Yanks that refuse to admit it
I’m an immigrant. Learn the fucking language yous cunts. Respect the country’s mindset. Pay your fucking taxes.
Ah carelessness, I see! Not a great quality for a handyman 😜
I do the same thing and I’ve had my Leatherman for over a decade now
Dunno what you’re doing that requires a new knife every two years!
Pffft they’re doing it because the EU is going to force this in a year or two, I bet
Exactly. You’d get your family “computer person” to do it.
If they care about the OS you want to use, they’ll upgrade to W11 this way.
If they’re obnoxious, self congratulatory Linux users, they’ll try to force you onto an OS you don’t understand
Which is better for the average person?
Aye it’s only a 22 hour drive OP, on you go 😂
Meanwhile the new president is both, simultaneously
True, it’s as difficult as plugging in a flash drive and clicking three things
Your average yank can’t attempt to tie their shoes without accidentally committing genocide lol stay away from installing operating systems
Yes, someone tells you a story about themselves and you just have to make it about you and shoehorn in some moral superiority
Mine said I couldn’t upgrade because of the no TPM thing. Turns out it’s just off by default on a lot of mobos.
Secondly, there’s a program called Rufus that can create a bootable flash drive with Windows 11 but removes stuff like the TPM requirements, the need for Microsoft account sign in, all the bad stuff etc
I’d been avoiding it for a year until I learned about Rufus but now that I’ve installed it, you know what? Without all the bloat, it’s a fucking smooth OS. Really excellent multitasking windows and fast too
Lemmy shits on it because “muh Linux” but if you install it right, it’s fucking excellent for the vast, vast majority of people
So you can install Linux but you couldn’t figure out how to use Rufus to install Windows? Figures
Texas alone is almost as big as entire Europe.
There has been a fad recently for fake size comparison maps about this, presumably made by insecure Texans with giant trucks and tiny penises
Texas is slightly bigger than France, and about the same size as France and Switzerland combined
Je sortirai demain pour acheter un couteau à pain et je l’utiliserai pour vous poignarder si vous appelez encore cet Écossais un Anglais 😂
Mais merci pour la recommandation, toi le Belge
