  • I guess I didn't really phrase myself correctly. I found a bunch of stuff but nothing that really helps. Most of the threads were either ancient or not related to my use case. I found one promising utility (djmount) but it was last updated like 2005 and I had no luck getting it to run on my pc.

    That being said, I didn't think of searching for service discovery protocols

  • Yeah, I found it too at one point. Ancient is an understatement lol. I gave up trying to make it work after a few hours. It's honestly crazy that nobody has made another utility like it

  • Courage the Cowardly Dog. I know it's a kids' show, but I was terrified of entering the basement for months after seeing the episode with the floating white head

  • Really glad to hear that. I've been using a Fairphone 5 for about 2 years now and while it's certainly not on the level of a flagship I can't say I miss anything. Sure, a better camera or faster processor would be nice to have, but both get the job done and are certainly not necessary for the average user. Samsung and Apple would have us believe that we all need a DLSR camera strapped to a supercomputer in our pocket in order to swipe on Instagram and take the occasional selfie. I'd gladly trade that in to make the world a tiny bit better by not supporting slavery and not wasting resources.

  • I've read that muscles grow better if they are stimulated multiple times per week. That's why I wanted to get essentially two full GZCLP workouts in one day, so I hit each muscle group twice per week with similar intensity. If I were to do normal GZCLP there would always be some muscle group that's only exercised once in the week.

    The idea of supersetting T2 was to save time, yes. I haven't done it before and decided to give it a chance, but it's definitely too fatiguing.

    Honestly, thinking about it, it might be worth it to drop the second T1 and replace it with T2 of the same exercise, so all the muscles are still stimulated but it's not so generally fatiguing and time consuming. Something like this:

    Week 1:

    Day 1:

    • T1 Barbell squat
    • T2 Dumbbell shoulder press
    • T2 Romanian deadlift
    • T2 Incline dumbbell bench press
    • T3 Lat pulldown

    Day 2:

    • T1 Barbell bench press
    • T2 Split squats
    • T2 Dumbbell shoulder press
    • T2 Romanian deadlift
    • T3 Dumbbell row

    Week 2:

    Day 1:

    • T1 Deadlift
    • T2 Incline dumbbell bench press
    • T2 Split squats
    • T2 Dumbbell shoulder press
    • T3 Lat pulldown

    Day 2:

    • T1 Overhead press
    • T2 Romanian deadlift
    • T2 Incline dumbbell bench press
    • T2 Split squats
    • T3 Dumbbell row

    I might add some more T3 for legs or arms if I'm not feeling too exhausted at the end. I'll try it out for a week or two and think about it

  • That depends on where you are. In most of the world cars need both plates, but I know at least some US states are ok with only a rear plate.

  • It is, yeah. Honestly, I'm really not sure when one would ever need one of those, but it looks cool if nothing else.

  • Driver San Francisco kinda. You spend most of the game in a coma, but you do wake up and do some real stuff for the ending.

    Depending on your definition of nothing happens, Mad Max too. At the start of the game Max loses his car, meets this car fanatic and for the entire game he helps you build the "Magnum Opus", the most badass car the wasteland has seen. At the end, you lose your Magnum Opus, he gets killed, and you get your original car back. You have a big impact on other people throughout the story, but as far as the protagonist is concerned, he is pretty much exactly where he started.

  • That's not always the case. Some games stream in assets as you play so you might get bad pop-in or freezes. Forza Horizon 5 was nearly unplayable on an HDD for me, because the map couldn't load in fast enough while driving quickly. No issues after reinstalling it on an SSD.

  • I'm still relatively new, I have no idea what a moss stitch is, lol. The spots are formed by switching colour after every stitch on even rounds and using only black on odd rounds. It sounds annoying, but once you get used to holding the two yarns at once it's surprisingly easy. You just grab the other colour every time you have to pull through both loops on the hook.

  • It wasn't actually as hard as it looks. The colour changes were definitely intimidating at first, but surprisingly manageable. The pattern is by June Gilbank and is for sale on her site or Etsy

  • I got excited about a sale on toilet paper. It was 50% off for 30 rolls of the really high quality one!

  • I've been like that since 15, that's just being a hypochondriac.

  • Pretty much all of them. You go on one, search for what you want and either download it or just stream it, depending on the site.

    Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it's actually available in your country. If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that's for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have. Oh wait, actually, you can't watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can't stream on two devices at the same time. Are you starting to see my point?

    I admit I am exaggerating slightly, but not by much imo. Streaming services have so many restrictions and random hoops you have to jump through that piracy is just the better option. And it's a hell of a lot cheaper on top of that.

  • Sling TV Blue is only $40/mo and has FOX on it.

    If this guy is anything like me or a fuckton of other young people, he just doesn't watch TV. Paying 40 bucks just so he can watch a single game is ridiculous and exactly the point most commenters are trying to make. As long as there's no easy and cost-effective way to access certain content, people will pirate it, even if they can afford to pay.

    I'm not a millionaire by any means, but I'm pretty well off. I can afford to pay for the shit I watch too, but I refuse to support an industry that makes me jump through hoops, juggle multiple services, get package deals and so on, just so I can watch a TV show. Provide a service that is at least on par with the experience pirates get and I'll gladly pay for it. Valve managed it, why can't the movie/TV industry?

  • The sequels also got way too bloated imo. If I wanted to collect 50 feathers or whatever I'll go play a Ubisoft game.

    I can't really say exactly what made the 2013 reboot special but it felt unique. Its sequels feel like any other open world game these days.

  • Not owned personally but my mom's '99 Fiat Punto I used to drive in high school was awful. 60 drunk donkeys under the hood, 0-60 of eventually, brakes that yanked it to the right if you were too aggressive on them and a battery that went flat in a few days if you didn't drive the car. It also had the tendency to just keep revving up when in neutral until you either put it in gear and engage the clutch or shut off the engine.

    Anyway, I still have fond memories of that car. Going down mountain roads was fun because it was very slow, but super light, so you could just keep the throttle pinned for the most part and the rotted out muffler made it sound like a racecar lmao.

  • I have two from when I was a kid. Once I was waiting at a traffic light with my mom. The light turns green and I jump out onto a street without looking. Not even half a second later a car whizzes by just centimeters in front of me. It went by so fast I have no doubt it would have killed me had it hit. That was probably 20 years ago and I still always look both ways even when the light is green.

    Another one was at the beach. I couldn't swim (still can't) so I was walking parallel to the shore in water up to my shoulders. At one point there was a drainage pipe or something and the current from it seems to have eroded the bottom, so as I'm walking the ground suddenly goes out from under me and I feel like I'm getting pulled deeper in the sea. Luckily my mom was nearby and pulled me out pretty quickly. I don't like going deeper than waist height into the sea since then.

    I also had a more recent scary moment, which wasn't really near death, but could have easily been very bad if there was an oncoming car. Get good tyres and don't fuck around in the rain, kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXTThHtUqLk
