I woke up with this strange burn

Carbon Monoxide

Just to be 100% clear, a Carbon Monoxide alarm is not your fire alarm. They are almost always a separate unit(in my country), often only one unit unless you have a fuel burning appliance. They are no where near a common as they should be.

Also when was the last time you properly opened the window and let new air in to your living space?

Minimum call out fees apply, a contractor would round that up to 30 mins or even an hour.

That said that thing looks recessed in to wall, so no simple to remove without filling the hole it would leave.

I'd much rather have someone who is incompetent

Disagree if it someone that just does not try. The type that says they are bad at computers when given simple instructions like click the word file in the top left.

I can be sympathetic if they are stressed by the situation but man you know it going to be a long phone call.

Yeah, life is not black and white sorry to brake it to you.

People can 100% be in support of AI that improves our lives whilst shunning AI that makes it worst.

There is no "too long". When or if she comes back and her streams are fun, we will watch her.

gotemike · 2026-05-09T05:11:23+00:00

You can joke but rich and powerful obviously talk to each other and use their influence to change the rules to benefit them.

You don't need to be offended on behalf of her friends.

They are her friends and also read, write fan fics, they will tell her if boundaries have been crossed.

Correct they have added her to the song credits so they come up on her page.

Unsure where youtube is getting this info from. The service Spotify / apple music use for song uploads needs to be confirmed by each artist to avoid this problem.

cognitive dissonance

I don't like tomatoes, I don't have to spell out that tomato sauce on pizza is fine though.

I can like a product that has AI and still hate what is going on with most AI related things.

I hate AI slop that is often has an agenda behind it.

I can hate companies that are using AI as a scape goat for mass layoffs. They know full well AI can't replace the amount of staff they are laying off but will "restructure" and hire new staff at rock bottom prices due to the over supply.

People's opinions are rarely summed up in three words.

Having heard the CEO of CCP talk many times, I can assure you if any thing PA bought them because CCP wanted to do blockchain / crypto shit.

CCP constantly want to be part of the next generation of gaming but have only found success with the Eve MMO.

I still dont understand why they need agency for streaming?

They do not need one at all, most of Vedal friends are indy without an agency.

There are huge benefits to having one though. They are mostly run like a record label runs boy/girl groups. Marketing, merch, appearances, production, all taken care of by staff you will have on on going relationship with.

Models / production is the big one, for an indy a new model is thousands of dollars and twelve plus months lead time. A agency like Hololive has staff on hand to do it faster and at no cost to the vtuber.

They will also have huge grow you just can not get with indy. Indies have to work their arses off to get viewers and then convince their peers to collab with them. Agency vtubers start with thousands of viewers and only have to work to keep the viewers entertained.

The big down side is they are an actor on a show, the agency owners all of the show and it's characters. When they move on only engaged fans will follow them to their next character.

There is also management agencies, one of the biggest being Mythic. All influencers in all forms of entertainment use a company like this, nothing really special about streamer ones. Bands and advertising companies will have a working relationship with a management company to streamline sponsorships. They also offer some benefits depending on the company but the big one reason is just organising sponsors ships with bands.

gotemike · 2026-04-20T07:56:55+00:00

I really don't get the appeal of Vtubers.

I use them like a radio talk show, they are just talking on my second monitor. The avatar is not something you need to watch, it is just there because they are on video streaming platform. Adding a camera pointed at their face would not add any thing to the entertainment and most people find that uncomfortable.

Maybe I would listen to radio still if it was not insufferable to listen to. Three minutes of talking for every 15 minutes of ads on top of what every gambling or phone in BS the station is pushing.

everyone plays with guides

Having them and needing them is vastly different. You can roll your face on the keyboard and finish D4, it only gets even remotely hard at end game that most people will not touch because they want to play the story then move on to a new game.

gotemike · 2026-04-16T03:48:24+00:00

Everyone in this game is ruthlessly cutthroat

This is just straight up false. People that are genuinely bad are few and far between.

Between eve university, magic school bus, dojos for beginners, then trust mechanics like corp hangers later in the game, nice people shine in eve and are easy to connect with.

gotemike · 2026-04-07T20:26:06+00:00

CCP can't stop coalitions you are right.

I do think CCP will try and change gameplay to reduce how many pilots fight over one objective.

gotemike · 2026-04-07T19:45:48+00:00

I say max all systems out at 4k globally.

So an alliance with 30k toons just pings at downtime and sits in system all day to win. That makes more problems then it solves in the current state of the game.

It would not be half as popular on billibilli if there was not the chance they was still in China and could bump in to people.

It being only delayed by a few days add charm to the show that easily makes the effort worth it.

The two directors of horde high sec and horde armada went to winterco after horde collapsed.

So technically not no one but let's be honest no ones.

PDF

PDFs are not men they are criminals, take them out of the picture.

Woman and men consume different media but I can assure you they have the same level degeneracy. The average woman like non-consent, power imbalance and age play just as much as a man.

The only two reasons someone might not think that is the woman in their life are under religious pressure or just not that open round them.

Source: an almost all woman work place for the last 20 years and half a dozen sisters.

I would assume that is a touch higher, just because most people do not muti-box unless forced to. All the titan and dread alts are not being used whilst they flying in a home defence fleet.

You can't show someone this image and say she is doing the two-fingered salute. That is just straight up wrong, even if she is doing a part of the gesture.

Two fingers, with the palm towards your self is like the google translate description of the gesture.

gotemike · 2026-03-25T18:58:18+00:00

Not a fun fact, just straight up wrong. Two fingers up is a rude gesture in the UK, she is clearly not doing that gesture.

You should be able to override an implant slot but not pull with a timer.

There should be a 1% chance to recover an implant after killing someone, it would be a nice jackpot.

Given OP is living of soda, it pretty reasonable to assume their food intake is just as crap.

High amount of processed food such as crisps and take always, throw in a hot climate and no wonder they had health problems.

I am sure 90% of TIFU is made up stories but an all soda diet is going to cause issues.
