My bad. You can tell how much I don't like (these) cars. Which language did I spell wrong? Is it still German?

I distinguish between SUVs that are big and stupid but are not severely bad to these stupid Dodge RAM like cars that rarely have an excuse for them.

But yes, people get addicted to big cars that 90% of the time don't justify the cost (in multiple terms)

Jajaja I didn't think of them..

I believe that both should be banned from the heart if cities. For pretty much the same reasons.

(Honestly, from city centres, I think that all cars should be bannes, but I'm extremist in that sense)

I mean, Ferrari, Bugatti, Porche, Mazzaratti, Lamborghini are all European cars. It's not only in the US.

I'm not saying I support that idea, but that thus is what I think the idea is.

What I think is that we need both: tighter speed limits, and less inviting roads. Also ban on small dick middle age cars.

I think, and this is not based on anything concrete, that if people drive slower, the traffic is more spread, and there are less accidents (and less stress) so there is less jams. Which means you actually get faster.

Of course, of you manage to direct more people to PT, then it is even better since, again, they will get faster (and less stressed)

If I understand him correctly, it's not about removing speed limits, but by making the driver enforce the speed limit without rules. Like, people drive slower (on average) when the street is narrow.

It has the same profile of barefoot shoe and the same decorative bite in the design at the left. Which is what I focused to.

I wonder how bitter a person should be in orde to make that pointless comment.

How you and your useless ego have a beautiful day

Could be, the holes pattern is different

I wonder why you say "countries in the west" and not just "countries". It's not like, I don't know, Banín is shouting about North Korea every day and nobody listens.

Practice. And then practice more And more And even more. Unlike all the shame people give it, I still think that Duolingo is a good tool. But, Duolingo on its own is not enough. Without using the language you won't get it.

I used Duolingo for Italian French czehc and Greek. It is enough for me to allow me know what an article is about in these language. If you want to get to conversation level, be ready to embrasse yourself. Without willing to make these mistakes, no matter what you do, you won't manage the language.

For context, my experience: Italian: started with Duolingo, eventually hired a teacher to improve my speaking level. I'm not perfect, but I manage to joke with the casual Italians I meet. French: used almost only Duolingo. There are however plenty of books and films and shows in french. I was in Paris a year ago, communicated almost solely in french and managed to do everything I need (including taking a friend to a clinic after he hit his head) Greek: started with Duolingo and hired a teacher for a while. It is hard to find communication partners and material so my level is not as high as I would like. To manage reading an article I need to concentrate very hard. Czech: still basic. I'm only half way through the Duolingo tree. I'm searching for other rmaterials, but I'm mostly lacking the time to dedicate myself to the task.

 

I have a specific speech exercise in French that I fail. For a few months now, I don't know if this is my accent or duo's speech recognition, but I cannot get it right. Is there a way for me to remove it from my list? I can skip it with the "I cannot speak now" button, but then it will be back, and I don't have other speech exercises. Is there a way for me to remove it?

 

I'm trying to be more aware of the photo I'm taking. Try to capture something and use some basic rules like third. Took this photo a few weeks ago. Nothing sophisticated, used my Samsung phone.

 

Hi, recently Firefox (technically Librewolf) presents me with weird whitespace as in the image. I tried to search for something similar, and I did find some post, suggesting I'll edit my font configs (in settings), but this has no effect. I tried to also open in incognito mode or disabled all my plugins or even create a new profile on my machine, but the spacings are always like this. On proper firefox, I don't see this issue.

Any idea?

 

The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to "cut the middle man" and just plug/unplug my linux machine.

I guess I can use a remote desktop solution approach on my laptop, but I wonder if there is a more "extreme" solution. Mostly since I have only one Ethernet port in my home office.

 

Like everyone I'm struggling to keep my data on Google drive below their limit. This is fine. I've been gradually deleting photos from my drive and transferring them to my own storage.

I managed to clear up about 2GB of space that away, but recently, a few weeks ago my consumed storage jumped up. I cannot figure though what is the file that tis taking away my data. It could be the I switched phone, but I don't see any big sync folder/file that I should delete here.

Any idea what is happening?

(Note: I've stopped sharing my photos with Google drive)

 

This is from the chess master app. That's the solution of the puzzle (to win).

It's level 3, puzzle 18

 

I like browsing through the "all" to discover new community and topics I'm unaware off. I used to do it also on Reddit. There, whenever I would subscribe to a community, I'd filter it out of the all view. Here I'm using block, but this would block the sub also from my home view. So, is ther a way to filter out the communities I'm already following?

 

Hi guys.

I have a Samsung s24U, and JBL Tune Beam. For whatever reason, it is not picked up by the phone audio players. Activating the Google assistant works fine. But if I want to play/pause audio it doesn't work. I tried this with podcast republic (a poscatcher), youtube and the audio player. I'm not even sure how to track this.

Any of you have an idea?

 

Hi guys.

So I figured out I should try to work with Codeium on emacs for a while. See how I like it and if I feel I need it. Seemingly this is easy. Codeium.el say that I should just clone into the repo and add it to my init file. Right? Wrong. I'm clearly doing something wrong. Since no matter what I do I cannot run the m-x codeium-install part. I only get "no match" output.

I've tried to place the (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/codeium.el") both in the ~/.emacs and the ~/.emacs.d/init.el file with no success. I also tried renaming the codeium.el library to be just codeium (and updating the init file) still with no luck.

So what am I doing wrong here? This should be simple to do, I'm sure of it.

 

So, I bought a JBL Tune Beam two months ago. I'm overall happy with the headphones, only it feels like the noise cancelling doesn't really work. I've never had headphones that I was really happy with their ANC (Jabra elite 75t, Bose quiet comfort 35II, and Anker liberty 3). Only here, I feel like there is no real difference, only if I pay close attention I can feel some difference. With the others, the differences were more noticeable.

So is it just me? Any of you know how I can configure this somehow?

 

The company I work in switched to a new building, and we have those stupid doors with RFID cards on them. I'd be damned if I'm going walk with that I'm-working-in-hightech-company-card dangling of my belt. I wonder if there is a way for me to use my phone for credentials. I tried searching for it, and all I could find is ways for me to use the phone in order to copy the info from one card to another.

So is it somehow possible?

 

I have installed librawolf and I see that canvas access is disabled by default in all webpages so I started activating them when they bother me (whatsapp, youtube, element.io etc.). But then I figure that it is disabled for a reason. What should I pay attention to?
