They are guarding the Goa’uld in your basement!

The 100% fake enthusiasm, especially if it comes after buying a mediocre product.

The annoying corporate speak.

The bad voice over where lipsyncing is completely gone, this is mostly a thing of the past here in Sweden, but from time to time you get ads from companies launching a product across europe and only record one video to the ad and then translate and do a new voiceover for specific languages as needed, but fail to sync the audio with the video.

Annoying music, for months now a company has been pushing their financial services withe the same terrible ad that is a slideshow and an increadibly annoying music, there is no person talking, they just have a fast tempo music track. I have vowed to never buy anything from them because their ad sucks and is annoying.

Reusing ads, sometimes a company buys almost all ad slots on YT over months and reuse their one ad video so it is completely grating.

Self-righteousness, some ads go from being overly enthusiastic to being intolerably self-righteous. There was a new clinic chain of companies that started a big push a few years ago on yt and for several months you had to listen to an overly kind and happy grandmother wearing a company branded sweater, faking a hearty laugh and telling people to go to their clinic.

I remember being taught in school to apply source criticism, and that seems to have largely died as a concept.

This was back in the early 2000s…

Thank you for your concern, as it stands now that local way of interaction between vehicles is at odds with the current galactic standard as noted in Book 29 (transportation), Chapter 61 (optical communication), section 5 (visual spectrum), subsection 2 (visual specturm communication between space faring civilizations and non space faring civilizations)

I will preset your comment as a suggestion to the grand court, who may agree to publish a local exception in Book 12 (exceptions).

Speaking as a Voxon who captains a Kerglyz KG-7 scout craft (with the boosted manifold), I feel like I can offer an interesting viewpoint.

If we hover before landing it is a sign that we see you and are yelding to you, you can just pass under us, but please, to make it clear that you understand the situation and to alert us if we have strayed into your path inadvertetly, just flash your highbeams twice, indicating that you see us and intend to pass.

We are normally just doing surveys and gathering data, we are doing our best to stay out of the way.

The nVidia GT series are cheap, the 710 series are the cheapest new cards that I have found.

Windows 11, the settings panel, a terrifying combination of old and new technology.

Fun fact, the name “Studsvik” is quite funny, it translates to “Bounce bay” in english…

Back in the summer I had been to the shops, done my shopping and sat in my car downloading podcasts to have easier access to them on carplay, when a 10-12 year old girl opened the backdoor on my car.

I just said “wrong car” to her, she looked shocked, closed the door and walked to her mom standing by a nearly idendical Seat Leon, just a few parking spots further down.

Outside of my brain and body?

Probably my mobile phone

Ah, good old linear TV!

Nah, I host it on a web hotel.

I am using a very generic ISP and they tend to have a dim view of running servers on their network.

I did have an RPi running SSH and a Mumble server directly connected to the internet years ago, but after a few years I realized that I was bringing needless attention to my network when I found my server on Shodan.

So I took it down…

That is a great follow up question, is an egg defined by what ever laid it or by it’s contents?

Correct!

That is what I mean, the scooe of the question is too narrow.

“It’s a thought experiment, there is no real answer, blah blah blah…”

The question is only deep among those who constrain themselves to what they believe the question asks, just widen the scope and you have the logical sollution.

The chicken/egg problem is really a problem of a too narrow scope.

“What came first the chicken or the egg?”

The answer is obviously the egg as plenty of other species before chickens laid eggs.

The concept of an egg is far older than the concept of the chicken.

You don’t have to rename them, doing so would just make windows default to using the builtin zip extractor.

If you have 7-zip you can just right click the file you wan to explore and try to extract it.

I am a big fan of Ducky, and I’d recommend you to look at their popular One 3, or Shine series.

I have not used a Shine in many years, but I am daily driving the One 2 series, the One 3 has replacable switches, RGB and a good design.

As for what switch you should get…

MX Brown are tactile, so no deliberate click, but just about any mechanical keyboard will make some noise depending on how you type.

With replacable switches you can get other switches if you find the default not to be to your liking.

Perhaps I can avoid the updates on Mars…
