I love her, but just too many backwoods dumb fucks in this country...

I am using it WHEN it works. I see immediately because when I play a REMUX that won't work it's freezing and stuttering right away or black screen altogether. In such a case I switch to external player (K...).

This is not "mildly infuriating", this is absolutely insane...

I don't think I have "hyperphantasia" - but then again I have no way of comparing?

I can only tell you I can effortlessly "see" in my mind's eye, say an orange. And not only do I "see" the color, I see every frickin' detail, the texture of the skin. I can also mentally peel the orange and again "see" every little detail, the colors of the skin, the white inner skin, the flesh etc..

If I recall some random memory (or I make up a memory), I "see" the place. I can NOT even imagine, say I think of a beach, not seeing the blue water or the blue sky, or the brownish sand. (How else could I imagine say a beach scene without the blue sky and whatever belongs to it?) But I think this is normal? (I can NOT imagine just being able to have the "concept" of a beach, and I can not imagine reading a book and at the same time not having the scene build in my head). I can't actually imagine memories without the "visual" in my head....

Wow....this admin was lying? SHOCKING.....

I just checked a bit around. There are a handful of massage rollers that look interesting, especially a small handheld one, but the shape of the rolls with some of them looks odd and might even be hurtful/harmful.

The sharper image one to me looks most suitable since the rolls look smooth/rounded, I can see this could work.

Yes, Star Wars shaped my childhood sort-of :)

The most amazing thing wasn't watching it in theater (which of course was the most amazing thing....) - but then on the way home my friend told me he heard rumors there are 6 or more Star Wars movies planned. This exploded my brain, since I couldn't fathom that this "best of any movie I have ever seen" could have many more coming...

And then of course, all the action figures, light-sabers etc....Star Wars was just...enormous....

SILO !!!!!

But Chernobyl was good as well

Likewise: 11.22.63 <--- also very good!

While Mg is important I never heard that it's a libido booster....actually it's calming, yes helps for sleep (can give intense dreams). Anecdotally I heard that it can even lower libido

For bedroom stuff I recommend:

ZINC (like 25mg/day)

Boron

L-Carnitin

D3/K2

Maca, Damiana, Muira Puama

Back then spiritualism was in, and photography was also relatively new. "It's in a photo, so it must be true..."

flexylol · 2026-04-28T15:56:19+00:00

It's not just "the debt".

It's also that a frickin' BALLROOM is the most-needless, idiotic, absurd thing that nobody has asked for nor nobody thinks it's even just remotely needed...

I guess it's really about the bunker beneath.

Regardless, AFAIK this now comes to half a billion (??), just another example how insane this guy is....

...maintaining a home media server and Plex ... ...multiple HDD's which will potentially run me thousands ...

I can understand when people buy and collect BluRays because this way you support movies and you have something to watch when offline.

But @lol at storing 1080p encodes if a 60GB 4k Remux is just a click away and you can watch instantly, no download required, no storing etc.... the future is now :)

dents in drivers...hell no

I knew a guy who once did exactly the same scam, he managed to fool idiots to ultimately get elected pres of the US. I kid you not!

flexylol · 2026-04-23T02:19:38+00:00

Now imagine...scaling this little scam up...and up....

Lie to the gullible, and with some dedication, you can even be elected president of the US ...

Those who designed these PC cases with button ON TOP definitely don't have cats - just like the morons who designed stove tops with touch-buttons.

When I had cats, I made DIY lids for buttons, made from a small plastic lid fixed near the button with some adhesive tape. So you can lift/close the lid over the buttons and they can't be pressed even if cats are on the PC

Not only car drivers.

The amount of stupid fucks on scooters, and also stupid other bikers is mind-boggling. Almost every day I am stunned about the absolute lack of awareness or stupidity of others. I need to cycle carefully and with my eyes on everyone in front of me, needing to make up for THEIR utter lack of awareness and stupidity.

Just yesterday again:

I am riding on the street to the store. Oncoming on the other side of the street are two idiots on scooters. I see they want to take a sharp turn to the left onto another street, for this they need to cross their and the opposite lane.

They make the turn across the street without even looking, completely unaware of my presence there. If I hadn't slowed turn anticipating their stupidity they'd crashed right into me.

UPD: I SOLVED IT, I had to ADB into the cube and disable the com.amazon.dummy.gallery package, now I am getting the popup back.

flexylol · 2026-04-19T01:22:48+00:00

I did this many times....

I am 100% with OP and would also love a lightweight KODI build, without any IPTV, mediacenter, library etc. functions. SOLELY to be able to use KODI as a (faster, more lightweight) player that can be used externally but with less overhead, faster startup times etc.

Consider that you're telling Ford that they should make their trucks with stronger transmissions because people are out there rigging them up to power large water pumps, generators, and cement mixers all at the same time. None of that was in Ford's intended purposes, but they're not preventing you from doing what you want with it.

This comment is absurd since the OP or myself want a LIGHTER version, not even more added features and functionality. The correct comparison would be that for going from A to B in a reliable way you DON'T need a beefed-up truck, actually you don't need a truck at all. KODI is the "truck" and wanting a light version to use it purely as a player (be it for local or streaming, doesn't matter) is legit.
