I'm too intimidated to try one despite staying in hotels round the world that usually have them. What if it goes wrong? How bad much shitty water do I and the bathroom end up covered in? How do you know if it's clean? Doesn't other peoples shitty water end up on the same appliance that you're now using? Does that mean I end up with other peoples shitty water being jet streamed towards my anus? So many questions, so much doubt. Similarly for those handheld nosel things popular in the middle East and parts of Asia.

This is a great shout. Since I stopped commuting 6yrs ago my reading is almost entirely non existent. Doing it between sets means I can give my brain a workout while the guns get one :D

While thus advice comes across as judgemental and obnoxious, it is infact accurate and good advice for everyone. Listen to your body, take your time to eat, eat reasonably well, drink water, go to bed at the same time every day and get 7-8hrs sleep. You'll live longer.

Incorrect. Racism is the prejudice or discrimination of a person or people due to their racial or ethnic group. Not just any group. So no - attributing something to Germans isn't racist.

There are those who have anxiety disorders whereby they have non-trivial amounts of anxiety that impairs their ability to live a "normal" life. Like going outdoors or getting on a bus or whatever. But for many of us you're right...it's just part of being an animal; a trip to the gym or a walk outside usually irons out the kinks.

Isn't it illegal because he used a VPN? Seems like semantics.

Basically, Google.

It is well known that as soon as you document a setup procedure, it is out of date and needs redocumenting.

Have you experienced any downsides to using pi hole? Does anything stop working?

Thanks - I'll check them out. On the lookout for a decent alternative to Google workspaces....the problem is - they're stuff works really well especially within its ecosystem.

Could you namedrop some, for the curious amongst us?

Oooh I thought you meant now...and he doesn't look 40. He looks great for a 56yr old though. I'd have thought 50.

Anyway, i didn't mean any offence. Hope none was taken.

That's insane. I can easily afford any device I want - I choose Android due to its more progressive feature set (as in it gets the good shit before apple decides to include it in ios). It amuses me that people would filter me out due to that - it's another self-filter...as it filters out the people who are too narrow minded for me!

Rogan looks 40 to you? He's 56.

Seconded. I tried Plex, Emby and Jellyfin and found Emby was the sweetshop between GUI niceness and not swamped with shit features I don't want or need. Jellyfish while being great and free, does not have the same UI polish as Emby, so I stumped up for a lifetime sub.

In the EU we like to pay a living wage and tip. That way we know that no one is getting fucked (any more than usual) and the good service staff are getting rewarded for going above and beyond.

You wanna know what's even more lost nuanced? the fact that a customer paying your salary via tip is after they've paid taxes. So let's say they tip $1 - in my country that means they had to earn $2 before tax (assuming the customer is a billy big bollocks higher-rate tax payer).

But what about if the employer pays the server instead? well now we're talking...when the emplopyer pays the server, it does so PRE-TAX. That is to say they can pay the server $1 and in order to do so they only had to earn $1. While if they banked that $1 as profit, they would pay tax on the $1 first and so see less of it (let's call it $0.80). Mind you, that does mean that the service worker now needs to pay $1 on that income...but surely they would declare their tips anyway and pay the tax either way? right? riiiiight?

Long and the short of it is - the cheapest way for the server to get $1 is for the employer to pay it to them and pass the cost on to the customer. The cost to the employer is what the company would have received post-tax for that $1 which as we said earlier was $0.80. The server got the $1, the employer is not gaining or losing anything, and the customer is only paying $0.80 which means they only had to earn $1.60 instead of $2. Everyone wins, except the tax man doesn't win quite as much as he was winning before. Cry me a river.

85% but yeah. You can also set them to slow charge. So my phone, when set to Night routine, will change these settings to 85% slow charge while I sleep. I've yet to need to top-up that charge but if I did, I just leave it plugged in while I get ready for the day (with night mode off)

Yeah I agree, but forgot to mention that in my comment.

Makes sense. And what I didn't state in my message but I equally believe, is that Nexus can host (or not) wtf they like. Within reason of course.
