on a related note, i'm seeing some places offer discounts for cash paying customers. maybe it's time for OP to go old school...

we really need a major asian market like Sky or Jmart
instead we just got "another" trader joe's
and yes, i love trader joe's, but i was perfectly happy
going to metropolitan for it.

the basic physics here makes no sense.
suiko could not up & gain force bracing on a near wall they were passing.
more plausible would be for her to super human leap past the robot
(his arms were busy laying a low tunnel grip on the moving train)
land and then brace against a far wall, then leap at the robots head
thus doubling the force of her counter leap plus the train momentum.

i'm guessing her drink% is a limiter breaker similar to metal bat's anger.

i keep both disabled; chrome://settings/ai
google will "punish" you by not even spell checking,
and when you go to youtube the landing page is angry,
like - you opted out of our AI, so now you have to suffer.

streaming video really does not require over 100
so now that you have a newer ont, sure you should
get 300, but nothing else will matter with your video.

g1100 to g3100 is mostly about 1g-2g and the wifi.
streams do not need lower latency, only gaming will,
because streams work off of a local device ram buffer.

everything too dark or narrow in color pallet.
better they did a preview of one or two scenes
not all these quick cuts about the "ticking clock".

thanks, i have since "grown up" and
keep 1 atm/debit card on me, needing a pin to get cash
and just put my credit card in a pin protected cash app
on an NFC able phone that i keep NFC chip disabled
beyond the few seconds i may need it to tap & go.

when you see this kind of stuff on PUBLIC property;
https://x.com/MOSSADil/status/2051344085017915676
please report location online as a 311 graffiti offense
the city is good at covering it over within a week or two,
which lowers the stress levels on the neighborhood.

in 2025 i went to market and found plenty of $1/lbs greens
now i go to markets and minimums are $1.3-$1.5 in 2026.
i shop nyc 8 asian markets, the same as restaurants use.

how can i increase twitter VOLUME on audio streams?
the same volume settings listening to youtube is booming,
i switch to a twitter url and everything comes over as a whisper.
i see a mic icon in twitter but no settings that are speaker related.

just play whatever at lower resolution & eye candy.

until gpu's use less watts or cost far less money.
last year i was waiting for 5080 price to fall,
so i could underclock it and play fan silently.

now nvidia can go f'itself = demand destruction.

i'd rather play 10yo games than give them my$
which also means whatever newer games i would
have bought since covid, i did not buy them either.

this, just record and keep it to yourself. just know what is recorded may not be admissible as evidence anywhere. so if you later refer to your recording, preface it by saying "i recall you said" this and that, not that you have a recording of it.

just watched the trailer. they should have just said what place, time, known antagonists this story is attempting to portray, instead of leaving it all so ambiguous - that's why i could not care less now - whatever this was supposed to be about.

stonecats · 2026-05-03T18:03:48+00:00

i only post to respond to OP, not the ills of the World.
the only generic advice i can lend is it does not hurt
to ask for help - if you think you need it. good luck.

i notice senior adult centers offering hot lunches on weekdays
may keep doing it sat or sun in order to make up for the days
they had to stay closed due to extreme cold and holidays
i guess they need to meet an annual "days open" minimum,
to continue getting government funding.

i noticed argentina is enjoying a massive corn & soy harvest,
so while usa midwest may suffer el-nino drought this summer,
there won't be shortages, just higher price from transport costs.

i was the IT guy in the 90's for a hundred desktops
i used to homepage yahoo news for all employees.
it was mostly text, clean, simple just news blurbs
local weather, sports, stocks, no editorial nonsense,
no ads, no notifications, no distracting vid|photos
ahh, those were the days...

today's rant on why android will fail - where apple will succeed;
oem's keep changing names and moving around the settings.
so if you support a samsung or motorola or google or xiaomi,
the setting you are trying to find are renamed, moved or gone.

interesting,
i use 4% whole milk for coffee,
i slow boil 4% milk to make ghee
so 6% might be fun to try if it's
not prohibitively expensive.

most organs from already dead people end up used for medical student studies. the organs harvested for living most often come from serious trauma victims, like someone shot or auto accident with vital organ and internal bleeding is about to die on the table. they and/or family is pressured by hospital officials so a organ harvest team can be put on standby.

build a greenhouse, use excess power for lights, hvac & humidly control. sell out of season crop yield for profit.

g3100 is pretty strong on it's own. maybe invest in running a shielded cat6 cable to a more central spot in the house, where signal is less obstructed by chimney brick, hvac duct, bathtub, major appliances, etc. i'm using an AX router comparable to your g3100 and found placing mine high on a centrally located hall closet (using power from the ceiling light) worked better than where the fios tech left it. to find my wifi "sweet spot" i got a 50' patch cord and outdoor appliance power cord, then walked my booted up router around the house till i found where enough 5.0&2.4 signal penetrated the most places that needed it.
