Father of two here. I have tried to start sorting through the pictures that were made during the years by my wife, parents and in-laws. We are literally talking thousands of pictures here. Trust me, you do not want all of those.

Let’s project (pun intended) here. I grew up in the time of analog cameras, i.e. somewhere before 2000-ish. Back then you had to buy a camera, preferably a decent one. You had to buy a film roll, which had typically had a capacity of 24 or 36 pictures. If you ran out of film, you had to go out and buy new film. Having done that, the film had to be developed and the negatives had to be projected onto expensive paper, which needed their own chemicals to change actual pictures. When you took a picture, it had to count. A shoe box of printed pictures typically used to represent several years of personal history.

I have never seen titaniuw cookware. Is it any good in terms of frying? Do you season a titanium pan in the way you would with cast iron?

I have been married for 20 years, after 9 years of being together. Engagement rings are not traditional where I live, but wedding rings are. We bought titanium rings for less than 100 euros each. No stones, just the metal. Titanium is way cooler than gold or platinum too. They make reconnaisance planes out of it!

Well he does not appear to have any power over his bowels.

I am pretty neutral on Seinfeld being cringy, but Larry David later made ‘Curb your Enthusiasm’. That was cringy up to the point of being unwatchable.

Hmmm… I know that the sub is called ‘no stupid questions’, but if you only listen to English music, you will by definition not hear any music that is not in English. So that question answers itself basically.

But trying to be less pedantic: which music genres do you like? Try finding music in those genres that are not in English and see for yourself. I have found some nordic folk music that I love, as well as Spanish Ska music. I do not understand a word of them, but I love the music anyway.

Admit it, if he dies before finishing, and someone publishes the result of such an AI output, you would read it.

Using a huge plagiarism machine as a shortcut to creativity is a big no-no for me. I would think that any serious author (which I am definitiely not) agrees with me.

IMHO, the book series should have ended after book 3. Books 4 and 5 leave too much hanging, which is even worse as book 4 introduced a whole set of new characters and subplots. Even if he does finish the series, which I doubt, he has lost me as a potential reader.

Stop publishing CEO / billionaire spam.

At least the ground did not shake.

I love Valheim. It’s a survival game set against a Nordic inspired background. It has several play modes and multiple world modifiers so you can tweak it to your playstyle. You can just chill by exploring the seas and its islands or go build a cozy base. It is also stunningly beautiful despite the modest graphics.

Oh great! Another ‘CEO says something’ article. :-/

80s kid here. Have my upvote.

Oh that’s cool! The lyrics to Hamrer Hippyer appear to be from the Merseburg Charms.

Krigsgaldr by Heilung. It’s in proto-Germanic if I am not mistaken.

(edit: spelling - my proto-Germanic is a bit rusty)

I did not vote, but the premise that I would read any religious text when I’m in jail is prepostorous.

Subscripttion services for actual journalism?

I’m not sure about unethical, but blocking ads is a big one for me. The WWW is unusable without blocking ads.

a pretty good diplomat

*sycophant

This is the guy under whose ‘leadership’, Dutch politics turned into a toxic cesspool. Education has worsened, the housing market has crashed, environmental problems were not solved and his party made sure that the energy infrastructure was not kept up properly, so that the citizens now pay for a hastened upgrade of said infrastructure. He has claimed to have no vision and is a compulsive liar with a very selective memory. I have not even touched all the debacles he facilitated.

This guy is now the boss of NATO and calls Trump ‘daddy’. He is a fucking disgrace. I am ashamed to be from the same country as this piece of shit.

…Donald Trump told…

So it was not true then.

decimated

In the literal sense, that would mean a 10% reduction of fighting capacity. Nothing to sneeze at, but still pretty capable of fighting defending, I would say.

So a few airplanes were lost and/or damaged. I read some statistics of the Vietnam war that thousands of planes were lost. It’s part of being in a war, especially when you are the agressor.

harrowing incidents

Tell that to the Iranian civilians.
