King of the Hill. I love the characters so much, especially the dynamic between Hank and Bobby.

I think you’re overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P

Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play’s Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I’ll paste it here:

4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

I’d wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the “unverified sources” popup Android gives you if you try to install an app in another manner.

That’s a lot of nuts!

If I search for comments, I’ll see stuff from whenever, but it works as it should when searching for posts.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I’ve had schedules where I didn’t get two sequential days off in a week I’d tire out waay fast.

In your situation, I’d probably pick Sunday+Monday as my weekend. You get the extra for working on Sunday, and you get to avoid the stressed people on Mondays. It is nice to have one conventional weekend day off, the other commenters aren’t lying when they say working weekends limits social opportunities.

I like Fluent Reader, it looks nice, can fetch full articles, and IIRC caches them locally for offline viewing, don’t quote me on that last one though.

Oops, I didn’t see that part of the question, my bad! I sure hope rice stays affordable, that and tofu represent like half my diet :P

Lentils and potatoes for sure, but we don’t really grow rice in Canada. There are some examples, but we get our rice from the US, Thailand, and India, as well as many other countries. I eat rice very regularly and I have no doubt I’ve never eaten rice grown on Canadian soil.

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. I’ve always loved this song, it has a mix of different styles, from flute-forward chill sections to more classic rock sounding parts.

Oh and it’s over 43 minutes long. Before anyone says “oh but there’s part 1 and part 2”, this was a limitation of vinyl and not the artistic intent behind the piece. It’s one song, fight me.

• What’s your favourite official gamemode? I was a CTF kid.

• What’s your favourite community gamemode? I was always on surf and prophunt servers back in the day.

Sticks were maybe the first human technology and we’ve yet to top it to this day.

We’ve tried talking, we’ve tried percussive maintenance, now it’s time to take things up a notch and let these silly little machines know who’s boss.

Damn, either you were a really smart 13 year old, or you must have been super desperate and then amazed that that actually worked.

I think this might actually be the dumbest. My fear of electricity is one of the main reasons I focus my tech shenanigans on the software side of things rather than the hardware.

This kind of hacky dumb workaround is exactly what I wanted to read when I posted this thread, haha. It’s kind of genius but also I’m horrified to imagine how things got to that point.

That’s not stupid, that’s one of the first steps of any sane troubleshooting.

I can’t say I’ve never been confused by keystrokes from objects laying on my keyboard, but I do usually figure it out within a couple of seconds at most.

I just spent the better part of the day trying to get a “music archival tool” to work, but I wasn’t able to get my Spotify account to connect.

The eventual solution I ended up with was to spin up a Windows VM, get the tool connected to my Spotify account there and copy over the config file from the Windows installation to my (Linux BTW) actual computer.

Of course, I’ve never really dabbled in emulation past old video game consoles, so getting a Windows VM up and running involved its own troubleshooting… The whole thing felt absurd, especially since there are so many easy ways to download music, but this was one of those times where I didn’t want to let the computer best me.

Ever since Mull was abandoned, I’ve been using IronFox. It’s a privacy and security strengthened fork of Firefox.
