I agree, the Calvin version is better. However the message this time fits the asshole.

Some relationships are insane. It's still pretty ingenious to set up the question. He could get it right, may be only a 50/50 chance.

And it could change tomorrow when you run into that someone that just "clicks". Like a Van Halen song says, "How do I know when it's love? It's just something you feel together."

Van Hagar is the best lyrical Van Halen.

And some "lower" positions can have much larger sweeping effects.

It's not really insecure if he can't answer the question. Maybe this is just verification of a known thing.

think of it like their alphabetical order (assuming reading left to right, of course). L is left of R, R is right of L.

It is a relevant ad, to be fair. In the wrong way, but...

Jeremy as a teacher.

Yes. You can either give them your real one, or not. That's the point being made. Actually the point of the whole page is that just loading a website tells a huge amount about you, even if you are behind a vpn and extensions to minimize your fingerprint. You are a product for sale.

It might be better if it was made of cardboard or cardboard derivatives.

Be interested, just a little bit, in what they're interested in. Like, you don't have to enjoy it, but show interest and they'll respond a lot more than if you make that a problem they have to choose over.

I mean I might put down the doc simply because I can come back to it anytime, while the moment won't. But what would spark things more is if she asks me something simple about what had my focus.

And this goes both ways. Paying attention to what your SO likes in any amount works so much better than making it something bad.

I concur, it was faster than a 777. Everything is made with characteristics that fit its purpose.

Looking back at the problem, you say just build more. A 777 carries about 100 tons. The total for shipping crude oil averages around 2.5 billion tons. The world's existing capacity for shipping oil is around 670 million, a rough number since there are various sizes of tankers. The 2000 777s (if that would even work) would replace one ship, not all those ships (thousands of them). You just don't understand the scale.

 

Made something a few months ago and put it on Amazon. Have different variations of covers and two sizes (50 and 100 pages, for 25 and 50 observation nights). Looking for options on the concept, contents (you can view the interior pages for their layout on the Amazon page).

Wondering if it's too flashy and a simple cover might work better, or if it's just because it's Amazon and there's too much competition. Or of course if it's just not what's being looked for.

 

Running Ubuntu 22.04:

I've tried searching for a solution to this, but there's way too many false positives. I know you can enable/disable using a single instance in two places, but that's not my issue. If I open a video the first time, VLC works fine. If I have both the "only use one instance" off, I can click on other videos and they run too. But if I have any combination of those boxes checked I can only play the first video, and to play a new video I have to manually close the VLC player.

What I want to happen is to have one player spawn, but any new video will run in that player, overriding the existing video. Is that just not possible? I don't want to have to close the window every time I run something new, and I don't want to have to go back and lose a whole bunch of separate VLC instances when I'm done.

Update: I found the solution, and I should have tried it first before posting. Oh well, at least I didn't leave anyone who might find this hanging like a DenverCoder9.

Being Ubuntu, VLC was installed via Snap (I can't recall if I did it or it's default). I suppose I should look into the de-Snap process I've seen mentioned before, as I've also had a few non-crash errors since running Ubuntu where snap was the source.

So the solution was to install the Debian version in terminal, not Snap. It works like I expect and wanted, and I can run video after video and it uses the same window.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
