I love that show, my son does too!

My nickname in junior school was "stinky" which probably tells you all you need to know. Grew up poor, primary caregiver had mental health issues and financial troubles meant electricity for hot water was not a regular thing..

I don't remember exactly but my mom who actually worked and did her best those days to support us would have made sure I was bathed on the weekends at least. So one week tops.

I'm still paying for the lack of regular teeth cleaning in my youth. Nowadays I'm pretty fastidious about hygiene, and showering regularly!

Was still thinking that until I read this comment. Tiktok is unwatchable (I mean more than before even) because of this. Luckily longer videos are still hard to produce with AI

Gummy Bears!

Just looked it up now and am pleasantly surprised it still rates a 7.5 on IMDB so I wasn't necessarily watching complete tat 😁 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0088528/

Personally the greatest satisfaction for me is the things I only achieved through years of hard work that no-one can take away from me. I learned a ton of circus skills that I use to earn a living and that makes me happy because actually it was fun learning anyway. I guess I'm saying do what you love even if you have to live in a tent for years it's worth it in the end

I do circus entertainment like unicycle, stilts and rope walking but my worst injury actually happened when I turned too fast on stage to talk to a volunteer. Twisted my ankle and couldn't walk right for two weeks.

I also do electronics as a hobby and found out early on that teeth are not wire strippers. Still paying for that mistake.

We have a saying in my country: there's no point in complaining because nobody listens. I mean we are all paying so what's the point of moaning about it

I can't say what it's like now but a friend did the TEFL thing, spent a year in Taiwan and now he's a business consultant for overseas companies. He did actually learn the language though.. I guess I'm just saying that language is a worthwhile skill and travelling opens up opportunities.

Pretty scant on details, something to move the stock price up a notch?

If I was to guess I would say we might get ai tools in the page builder interface next, urgggh

My son plays Fortnite in addition to the other two. I don't know of any other games that offer the wide choice and peer interaction that Minecraft, Fortnite and Roblox offer.

He mainly watches streamers who play those games

This meme made me feel better about myself. Been copy pasting from Stack overflow for more than a decade, vibe coding was a real step up for me.

Not quite there yet, still waiting on the holographic AI hardware design. Coming soon I hear.

 

Battery on my Android Tablet died, so I upgraded it with 18650 replaceable batteries. Tutorial with pics

 

So this just happened - those of you who have a Xiaomi phone know when you install apps it has it's own "Virus Checker" screen which comes up before the app is approved for install. This is provided by Avast I just found out..

Anyway while installing an app from F-droid today I got an error message on this screen - which said "app from unknown source" and two buttons below - "Ignore" and "Install". So I clicked on "Install" since I wanted to install the app and then noticed that the install process seemed a bit different (I can't remember what happened exactly) but I checked the app on F-Droid and the version history wasn't available - which a notice says means the app was installed from Play Store or somewhere else. But I just installed it from F-Droid!

So I tried another few apps and it happened again for one of them. I clicked around and there it was, some sort of Xiaomi app store installing versions of the app instead of the one I told my phone to install.

I guess there is an innocent explanation for this - stopping people from installing malware and giving them a "correct" version of the app they wanted - but I have disabled it on my phone, I know what I am doing and if I want the cracked version it's because that's the version I meant to install ;)
