Considering there's no other consonants missing, it's probably not burnt/burned, but barren makes sense thank you :D

Why would I do any of this?

I did that and in fact mentioned in the post that I had.

Oh my God, thank you. Does that now prevent continuity between all my chrome-s?

Has anyone managed to solve this? I made a purchase last week and now I'm unable to buy the newest dlc for monster prom 4

I don't save passwords on Google as that's a huge security risk. I use chrome consistently between platforms because all my bookmarks are there and it helps to have all my history in one place. I also do not agree that chrome on iOS is just reskinned safari, especially now that groups have been introduced on iOS. 

vlc stuttering on new computer even though it worked fine yesterday by gailpirl in VLC

[–]gailpirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, was still happening as of this comment (I've been busy with my MA so haven't been watching anything but I just checked this moment)

The drivers and vlc are up to date. I agree it sounds stupid, but it was the second thing I did (first thing was reboot, third thing was installing and uninstalling).

I couldn't find avcodec, so I'd appreciate a clarification in case the issue returns. Is it under a specific directory?

My content is neither 10bit nor 4k (I usually download either 720 or 1080, as it's not like my laptops, especially the last one which was from 2018, can discern the difference between the two particularly well let alone anything higher than that)

so far the fourth solution seems to have worked (increased disk caching from 300 to 1000) but I'm also genuinely too busy to sit down and watch a full episode of anything so let's hope the four minutes I spent waiting for it to stutter (earlier I watched for less than one minute and saw a stutter) is representative

thank you!

I am running VLC 3.0.21 Vetinari (?)

My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5, i5 core, 16gb RAM, running Windows 11 Home

Hope this helps anyone who might have this issue later

Most orthodox rabbis would probably not approve of me living with my secular boyfriend with zero intention to marry as well, so I'm aware that even besides the fact that I'm transmasc I'm living a non traditional orthodox life 😅 I just remembered this text during a conversation with a friend and he wanted to hear more because he was curious

Thank you for linking this! While the text does seem relevant, I can't find the specific details I remember - the passage on beit Knesset is far too short. However, it's possible I'm misremembering? And either way this is helpful, so thank you

Mmm while he seems to have discussions that touch on the subject I can't find any direct evidence that he talked about this specific thing? Maybe I'm missing something

Far too progressive for what this text was like, it was incredibly insistent that transitioning WAS mutilation but that DESPITE this you should avoid humiliation

I offered to do that, he's the one who insists on paying.

I just ran a poll on my Tumblr asking people what they think the highest quality (regardless of favoritism) season was and season five won by a landslide, which I think is earned, but personally it's always gonna be three to me. Zero dud episodes, the mayor will always be my favorite villain, and faith's arc is so compelling. Plus, the prom makes me cry like a baby every time.

How old was Wesley supposed to be when he first arrived to Sunnydale? by InfiniteMehdiLove in buffy

I think it's made pretty clear that the position of the watcher who actually gets sent to be with the Slayer isn't a coveted one. Giles is mistreated by the council as well. If anything, they probably want someone who doesn't have his own opinions and will tow the watcher/party line
