  • I'm a big fan of the Matador series. I was surprised to find that another had been released. "Churl" apparently did not get much fanfare.

  • Good man! And best of luck with the cat. That isn't an easy job.

  • This is what governing looks like.

    Which is why none of them recognize it.

  • I understand what you mean, but there's a good chance that some of them will die without heat. And even a few deaths like that are significant, no matter how large the city.

  • The advice about turning off the water from inside is the best solution. Having said that, I don't always do it. The weather has been so variable over the last few years that turning the water on and off got to be a hassle. I do shut if off when we hit the main stretch of winter, but I use covers to guard against the unseasonable freezes that happen on either side of that. I have not had any problems over several years of this, so I think I can say that they work.

  • Sorry, I misunderstood.

  • I'm pretty sure I remember an auto-play setting in Jerboa, but you can view videos in it if you change it, or start them manually.

  • The news, and you, are both wonderful! :-)

    Thank you!

  • Sorry about that! I fixed it in the message above. I typoed the actual link, but the visible version was correct so I didn't notice.

    The correct address is: https://apps.aslanrefuge.org

  • I have already done that. My apps.aslanrefuge.org site has downloadable APKs for everything. It also has the code, for anyone who wants to tinker with it.

    I just wish there was a better way. I need to look into F-Droid and other options.

  • I think that just indicates that they really do believe in diversity. They're finding all kinds of different ways to violate what they claim are their principles.

  • There are two kinds of groups that push changes to society based on morality. Those who want to provide more freedom and rights to people who are at an unfair disadvantage under the system and those who want to impose restrictions and penalties on people who do things they don't like. The latter groups are almost never sincere. The actions they oppose are just an excuse for making people they don't like suffer. As a result, they are often caught do the exact things they say they oppose, because they don't really care about the actions themselves.

  • It isn't just about businesses. There used to be a lot more free apps on the Play Store, but keeping up with constantly-changing requirements makes that impractical. You can't just put something up and leave it. You have to work on frequently or it gets dropped. You also have to keep up with their demands to limit certain features and to provide new information or it gets dropped.

    I used to have a handful of free apps up on Play. Now they are all gone because I just don't have the time to rewrite them every few months.

  • the only people in the modern GOP who are concerned about racial or social groups are the white power faction. Everyone else is just in it for personal gain, without concern for how "their people" are doing.

  • No possible outcome, however destructive, is worse than "losing". It has become a mental illness.

  • AliExpress screwed me recently. A vendor sent me the wrong items. I mean, they weren't even the same kind of items. I disputed it with the vendor and they said they'd sent the right things, so there.

    I opened a case with AliExpress. They asked me for a whole lot of information, some of which didn't make any sense, along with some pictures. I sent them everything. They sided with the vendor.

    Fortunately, I had paid with PayPal. PayPal looked over the information from both sides and promptly refunded my money.

    I don't expect to be doing business with AliExpress again any time soon.

  • When the GOP says "family friendly" what they mean is heterosexual white male friendly. Anyone else can be discriminated against, harassed, abused, denied protection under the law, denied medical care, and left to survive without food or housing. The only other class that has special rights are unborn children, who lose that status the instant they are born.
