Driverless is fine, it's the magnetic thing that has me raising an eyebrow.

So that whenever Content ID and/or other legal hassle happens, Toby doesn't need to be the one to do anything to resolve it.

More Konsi, always better 😃

If it's Socks And Puppets, you're not mistaken about the lemmy user.

Also, now I miss Konsi's misadventures...

It works if the way you say "eighty" has the T softened, so you would sound like you're saying the letters "A D".

So 80 HD becomes ADHD.

It took me a moment too, since any pun based on diction assumes that some words and sounds have smooshed together in the audience as much as it has to the speaker. And the T in eighty still firmly sounds like a T to me if I say it, and it might for you too.

He popped to my mind very quickly as well. Let's go down the list:

• Significant talent, dedication and skill

Would say, though I'd say he especially shines in composition and getting the right people to shine.

• Write music across a bunch of different contemporary genres

Basing yourself on prog metal is kind of cheating in that respect xD

Seriously though, the genres within albums, or sometimes single songs, of his can be a bit of a rollercoaster. If another reader is still drawing a blank, The Day That The World Breaks Down

• Draws from the work of others

Isn't that basically the standard for most musicians? And also, in the aforementioned track's clip, he specifically refers to a few inspirations. And moments when he let his collaborators do their thing and shine. "Hey Mike, here are your lyrics: 01110100 01110010 01110101 01110011 01110100 01010100 01001000 00110001, go nuts!"

• Shitposting and odd outfits

Have you been at Live Beneath The Waves? His girlfriend got an applause, his brother was heckled & booed, and his keyboard guy was called a LUL by the entire audience. All at his request.

Arjen checks the boxes pretty well.

I'm getting basically the same at the moment if I try to go there.

Thank you for making me picture the American wall outlet as a femboy, and the German Schutzkontakt outlet as a Giga Chad.

This thing is a nostalgia trip like holy cow

My country is more of a three kisses kind of place, though within the subcultures I deal with it's more hugging.

Works at larps too. One I go to (in NL) has Dutch as common, and we use English as Elvish and, depending on with whom I talk, I express Dwarvish with either Scottish English, Northern English or German. If I really want to commit to the bit, I should learn High German or an Austrian dialect for Dwarvish.

I heard/read a story somewhere once, where there was a statue somewhere of someone who's better off not glorified. The statue was defaced regularly, and every time it was defaced, there'd be someone cleaning it up.

Over time the statue went on to look worse for wear until one day, the authorities decided it was better to remove and replace the statue.

It turned out the guy cleaning it up was always the same guy, who hated the subject of the statue with a passion, and alway used salt water to clean it, hoping to corrode & wear down the statue. Some people suspect he and the vandal were the same person.

RON SWANSON: I reject all cookies.

Wait, I don't think I was clear enough. I didn't ask to reject a lot of cookies. I reject all cookies.

My too-lazy-to-cook recipes still involve some cooking. One has me cut up some chicken thighs, add a load of spices, and throw em in a frying pan. Stir occasionally. Then stick em on some tortillas with shredded lettuce, garlic sauce, salsa, sriracha and grated cheese.

Alternatively, fry some diced bacon while heating up a pot of water for spaghetti. When the bacon's good, remove & discard about half the rendered fat. Next, beat an egg and grate in some Parmigiano Reggiano* cheese. When the pasta water is good, cook some spaghetti. When the spaghetti is done, take it out of the pasta water with some tongs and throw it straight into the pan with bacon. Then add the egg mixture and start stirring immediately, the egg mixture cooks from the heat still in the spaghetti. Add cheese and a little bit of pasta water to taste.

more generic parmesan will do, though the best texture is reached with freshly grated cheese. I have access to Parmigiano Reggiano at a price that won't break the bank for me though, so the real Italian deal it is for me.

how certain are you that this will truly block them all? Many of these things may have a "Legitimate interest" thing going on, and I do not trust those prompts to object to that by pressing "reject all"

That's a shag, a noun. What about the verb, to shag?

Me? When I use text communication? Never. Closest I get to using AI is letting a trusted acquaintance look over the message if I'm communicating with organisations. But beyond that? Nope.

I'm with the guy who's at the op of the thread as of me typing. "If you can't genuinely talk with me without the need for an LLM then I'd say we weren't really friends to begin with." ~@mriormro

And maybe also "big stuff". I suppose those two overlap quite a lot?
