A friend of mine who was learning English said that translating song lyrics from her native language into English really helped, 'cause you have to kind of get the meaning across and not just a literal translation of the words. Dunno if it works for everyone but she swore by it!
It’s probably just the Sealion making an appearance.
I don’t think it’d even need a hacker. If previous performance is anything to go by, either an MP will leave it on a train or they’ll just sell it to some corporation eventually.
Fuck off, Tony
There is SoloKey, which is an open-source version of YubiKey. Although full disclosure, I haven’t actually tried it myself so I can’t really vouch for it personally.
Also Gen X UK person here, I remember in the 90s when that hurricane made it over from the US, and we had no power for 9 days.
My dad went full survivalist, we ate nothing but baked beans cooked on a camping stove, and he got this portable black and white TV from somewhere that we could watch for an hour a day because it ran off a car battery lol.
I fired off the dirtiest vote today. I’m not a huge fan of Starmer but I hate the Tories much more, and they recently changed the rules so if you’ve been abroad for more than 15 years you’re allowed to vote again.
So I sent a 100% tactical fuck-you vote from overseas via proxy, motivated by nothing more than wanting to join in kicking the shit out of the Tories while they’re already down.
Greasy as hell but I regret nothing lol
Yeah I don’t really like it either, but TBH things are so bad that just destroying the Tories is good enough for me this time around.
Hopefully they’ll be radioactively unelectable for a really long time, and we can push it in a better direction over the next couple of elections.
I have a Firefox plugin called Tranquility Reader, which basically strips out all the ads and bullshit and gives you the article as just plain text on a white background. It also has the option to save the page as a pdf, so if I want to read something later I just do that.
Could they not just image search American manhole covers?
Non-American here!
I’ve visited America a bunch of times and I really like it as a place, they have amazing scenery pretty much everywhere you look, and just about every individual American I’ve met has been really nice.
BUT…
I’d never want to live there. Their healthcare system is insane (sorry Americans but it is) and politically as a nation they’re pretty bonkers. Guns, religion, general sort of global belligerence etc.
Also as an aside, San Francisco is genuinely one of the strangest places I’ve ever been to. I dunno if I was just there at a weird time, but it seemed like every single person there was either a millionaire or homeless. Absolutely nothing in between.
Then we enter the Kamala Harris vs Marco Rubio presidential timeline lol
Sometimes that can happen with a joke - like it’s kind of mid when you first tell it, then you keep pushing it and everyone hates it, then at a certain point something breaks and it becomes the funniest thing ever for some inexplicable reason. Not saying that’s what happened with with this joke necessarily, but it is possible! Old Family Guy used to do it quite well sometimes I think.
It’s the opposite of the Lil’ Sebastian thing, where there’s that horse that everyone idolizes for no discernible reason. Although with that, there’s the one character who doesn’t understand why they do that, so maybe that’s what the Jerry thing needed? Or perhaps that would have made it even sadder lol.
These days, I feel like most MMOs are just like trying to play a single player game but with other people getting in the way and/or breaking your shit while calling you an array of slurs.
Kind of like playing a regular game on extra extra difficult mode.
I think the summer sale starts tomorrow, definitely gonna add a few more to the old backlog lol
I can’t imagine a faster way to turn the public against you than to take a potshot at David Tennant lol.
The only confirmed bow and arrow kill of WW2!
The thing I’m currently most worried about for the next election is a Conservative-Reform coalition that just squeaks past the post and puts Farage in the Deputy PM spot. There are a lot of ifs-and-buts to that (IE the Tories and reform would have to bury the hatchet, Labour would have to pretty massively fuck up to get people interested in the Tories again after just five years etc.) but stranger things have happened.
