I'll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I've used it for many years now.

More recent ones that are really good:

Barry, a show about a murderer that turns out to be really funny.

Snowfall, about drug dealers making it to kingpins. A similar show, Queen of the South is also good.

And some classics that are funny and clever enough to rewatch:

Keeping up Appearances, I think we all know some of these characters in real life

Flight of the Conchords

In the last week, I came across 2 videos that started with an ad. Both were embedded YouTube videos. They must have found a way to circumvent adblocking.

It's loud and annoying and I don't have the patience for this. I just didn't watch those videos.

You're out of touch. Employers don't want overqualified people. They are the ones that decide for you that you can't possibly be motivated for such a job. You'll only leave when you find something better they think, which is definitely true when you claim to just "bridge the gap".

Incidentally I just installed a new laptop that came with windows yesterday and damn, windows 11 sucks.

First you have to find a workaround to install without a MS account, then the default Bing search tells you to install Opera when you search for Firefox, I can't find any settings (everything is a regedit hack now) and then I found a debloat script that claims it disabled Recall. So yeah it can be disabled (for now).

Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.

As a poor European:

Coders saying "but me a cup of coffee" for $8.

I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

That's $0.40 for a cup.

(Or about 9 beers)

Nice. Are they official or just a copy? My old login no longer works.

Living under Christianity means living in constant fear of being watched and judged and living in a world full of supernatural forces. It was a great relief when I realized it's all bullshit.

"Less than 5 books" includes 0 books? Otherwise those stats are hard to believe.

Yes, it tastes a bit earthy to me.

I got a tour of the place where they proudly show these cats in the most horrible conditions. Also, it doesn't even taste good.
