So, I've had this single annoying hair coming down over my eyes, brush the hair away, it doesn't go away or soon comes back.
Just now in front of the mirror, I found it. The thing was a massive eyebrow hair. I yanked it, and I kid you not - the hair was 4cm long! I'm entering my old-man eyebrow phase, and I don't like it.
Is there a band called Yoko Ono? I ask, because I'm fairly sure there isn't a singer.
When I got to Melbourne, you opened the door manually like a barbarian. They eventually upgraded the door motors to behave like this.
On Perth trains, you push the button to indicate that you want the door to open. Works either from inside or outside the train and the door opens when the train comes to a stop.
I love Vegemite on a crumpet. Perfect 10pm snack.
Both Dell and HP make great micro PCs. I've used both as my work PCs for years (~5 years for the Dell, ~3 years for the HP).
No hesitation recommending either as a file server/media box. Keep in mind they use 2.5" disks, though.
The problem with this is trust. If you could seamlessly migrate like this, there's nothing to stop someone faking a long post/comment on their own instance, making them look very legitimate and then migrating that account to a trusted/legitimate instance.
Then using that for spam/selling block chain etc.
People are the reason we can't have nice things.
Maybe it was and the studio execs took all the good bits out to cater to a "wider audience"?
Wait - the guy who writes books is good at writing assignments? Who could have predicted this plot twist?
I think it was mostly money well spent. My biggest complaint was the Stan editing team didn't bother editing the field events, like at-all. The Pole vault competition for example could have been edited out to under an hour if they cut all the waiting around, but they didn't bother. Same with pretty much all the jumps and throws. Most of them also had no commentary. No editing at all - just the raw feed.
Same story with many of the less popular events. Just the base feed. This wasn't always bad, though - in fact I'd like the option to turn commentary off sometimes.
My best Olympic experience was when I had access to the British iView service during the London Olympics. It was like what we had with Stan: Every event live or on-demand, ad free. But the interface was loads better. That's probably the other bad thing about Stan - the Interface sucked sometimes. They did try, to be fair. But finding some events was just not doable. I wanted to find the final Archery match between India and Canada - I never did.
Poor pole vaulter? That image is worth framing! 'I lost the Olympic pole vault because my pole was too large' (He didn't - that bar was already falling because his calves knocked it before he even went over - but the bulge photo is marvellous). His jump will be a highlight reel for years.
I would probably watch some of it if it didn't cost another $27. I'll have to satisfy myself with the YouTube highlight clips.
We paid the $27 for the Olympics on the day of the opening ceremony, so our month runs out the day before Paralympics starts. It isn't only the money, we honestly have overdosed a bit in the house for sport. The kids have gone to bed late pretty much every night over the last two weeks. We justified it a bit with "it's only a couple of weeks every four years".
I try my hardest to avoid all things US politics, and I still feel saturated by it. I don't click on articles about it, I never click on Google or YouTube links about US politics.
Yet, somehow my feed is still regularly seeded with the stuff. I have no idea what the algorithms do to people who engage with that content, but it's got to be some next-level doom scrolling.
