That's because 99% of it is inside the body, surrounding the vaginal area. I'm surprised at the wiki stating it "might" be the source of vaginal orgasms. It's a huge mass of nerves around the area... yeah, it might be what's doing it.

Exactly. And had to change the feel of things because they have a license to modify the canon. There are fan made versions of ship beauty shots and warping that are better than anything Hollywood put out, but 2009's popping in like Star Wars is just... no. I think I lost interest when they made the parking brake joke on Sulu. Anyone read the one paperback novel that tells about Sulu's first time at helm on the E? ("Kobayashi Maru") He actually DID flub leaving space dock... but not for a stupid joke. He didn't want to be on the ship (for reasons in the plot), figured the E was like a big freighter, and her nimble response to his commands threw him off. She won him over.

The amount of panels has been. Unfortunately as always our demand also keep increasing.

We haven't changed. Companies will not spend more than they have to on IT if they think they can deal with it until next quarter. This was no different, plus developers of software didn't expect their stuff to become legacy and not updated with better programs. Memory was premium, so a few less bytes here and there that would work fine for a few years was what they did.

And the idea of a safety net has been around for a long time, in various forms, yet somehow helping everyone has always been a bad thing to do.

The actors I liked a lot, they all did great at capturing the nuances. The plots.... meh. They also didn't have the same realistic "feel" of the classic TV/movies. It was more "arcadish" and shiny. I will say there are a few scenes/lines in some of them that I liked, even though it was a different timeline. "Your father was captain of a starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's. And yours. I dare you to do better." I still prefer the original Kirk origin, and the Kirk in the various novels over the years is a bad ass prodigy.

Forgot Éomer - "Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan! Oaths you have taken, now fulfill them all, to lord and land!"

The first Oldest View is my favorite. Simple, yet hits the surreal horror that all of this is grounded on. At one point the person stops and quietly says, "I shouldn't be here." That is core liminal fear.

France should ask for it back.

Now that's a scratching "post".

I don't know, it's 30 years in the past. Maybe something as simple as lazy handoff of info to the next shift, the staff not noticing how long she'd been there or her lack of progress.

I'll take the blame, I shortened the statements maybe a bit too much, assuming the references would work. But they were explained well by the other replies.

I was learning in the 90s from lessons on AOL how to sanitize inputs and salt passwords along with HTML 1.0. It baffles me how corporations let stupid things happen now.

 

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?
