"50 states, 50 protests, one day” event, also known as the “50501 movement”

Seen this 50501 code referenced elsewhere and it didn't click until now, with that article. Maybe americans get it naturally.

I feel nostalgic of a time with my first Android phone that worked fine with some 256mb of RAM and around 16gb of storage. Now I have way more in both of them, but my phone unloads everything but the current and last app from memory occupying half of that just for itself and the storage, well, isn't mine to begin with for I can only use a small fraction of it even after a factory reset. Times change, websites and apps change too, and Android devs can't predict that, but they made the OS itself just as bloated and self-indulgent as Windows.

It looks so sweet and nostalgic. It reminds me of html sites I wrote with just a notepad around his age, but they didn't have cool comics to show like his does though. Cheers to you for encouraging him (:

Counterpoint: the phrase first proposed by Serj Tankian, an armenian biblical scholar, reading 'When Angels deserve to DEI', implies that even the God's very servants strive to have DEI programs used in their hiring and career proposals.

Why are you snorting blood my friend, did I say something wrong?

Modern problems and modern solutions. But to be trully modern, it would need to be a trap in a cask of a cybertruck with microplastics air dispenser nearby that gives you achivements at every 5% percent of your body becoming a fiberflesh matter. Tasteless, weightless particles flowing to choke every bloodflow and shut down every organ, all under cheap gaming RGB lighting flickering ignogant of your high and lows, indifferent to you struggle to breath in one time more.

There's a ritual of finding an antifa with a gas chamber. If the person survives the gas chamber, they are an antifa and should be killed, and if they are not, they are just a casualty of the culture war antifas waged on the world as we know it.

It would rather be some 'DOGE-styling you GF as she screams in X-citement' kind of bullshit. Elon can't names.

They look jealously at Russia that named LGBT an extremist org, and the overreach in law coupled with targeted execution you mention is very characteristical of the state top figureheads of the right like to visit and promote. In a form of a proverb it supposedly dates back to 19th century (russian), although it's not clear who really wrote that and when. What is known though is that today it's what every henchperson whishes as it favors everyone loyal to it, guarantees kids and friends getting into cozy positions and denies interest of (pocketed) media and services as long as you toy the line.

Let that snowball with lawsuits from other affected parties to burry his momentum.

And a round of peace talks between Kiyv and Moscow that Donald famously started.

Hit Elon where it hurts!

 

As I had no experience with Valve's products, but rather ps4-5 knock-offs, I want them to have one or two scrollwheels with a sensory feedback in the future.

Switching radio stations like in old timea, adjusting your cam's focus in Outlast-likes, rolling the roulette while gambling in some Yakuza game, switching your equipment in some stealth game - it can certainly has it uses if it wasn't too weird.

But what idea or part would you like to add to generic controllers and schemes if you had an authority over that one an you had studios to follow this quirk?

 

Maybe it's something in UI, but many times I watch pictures (not even videos, they are their own can of worms), and want to save them, it shows me that I'm downloading them again although they are cached in whatever app I see them from.

Like this link with a happy dog: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/71/1e/52/711e52f1d6c7ead78f4380214f68c259.jpg

I see it in high rez in my browser, I can zoom in, and I can't tell any difference from a copy that I can download, but it's still, well, another download if I want to save it, and not a move from cache to my download folder, another request to the server, another waste of traffic.

Is there some rule of sandboxing for everything you load that I don't know about? In cases like our fediverse, I wouldn't like to cause double load when I already have the picture I want. Can I cut it down with some plugin in mobile Firefox?

I feel like I'm missing something big time.

 
  1. That's how we sometimes introduce first-timers (usually kids) to the idea of riding, it's easier to balance especially in the taffic jams and isn't as dangerous for first-timers;
  2. The space between and over two back wheels may be used for a motor, a battery and a place to put your luggage on.
  3. They have a good marketable slogan already in the name, as they are Try-cycles.

You just need to design it to cool and\or professional so the rider won't be afraid of looking like a kid or a clown.

Pro and con: it's width is way more than that of a bycicle, but at the same time it gives a bit of wiggle space for your feet.

 

The title.

As I plan to clock in on Saturday to fill in some gaps I have missed before (all paid, thankfully) I don't need to wake up as early as I do all week and I don't need to hurry in the morning for there's no one to watch over me coming at the right time this day, but a convinience of a bus that goes on a fixed timetable, my trust in it, makes me consider repeating my daily routine anyway.

It's so easy to follow the script instead of thinking how and when to commute if I choose to arrive later. The amount of work stays the same either way, so even if I deny myself a longer weekend sleep and comfort, I'd have more time at my hands when I finish. Sounds like a good comrpomise.

Taking this route, I can ease my head a bit and instead think about what I can do at work while being that early and alone. Listening to podcasts from my phone's speaker, not headphones, may be one way, let it be something that could usually rise some brows like gritty true crime on English (no one speaks it there). Skipping my regular morning food prep and having either fast noodles or some simple non-McD take out for a dinner can be another way to make it lazier and less formal.

There'd be my condradictory attempt at showing to myself that I don't belong there today and can do anything... while working on Saturday from the office. It's fun to recognize that, and that's fun that I can't really imagine anything else less dull to spice it up that I myself would want, but that's really the most fun I need to have there. It's my work after all, and I don't want to spend more time than needed to finish it, and after having some thoughts about how boring I actually am, I find that I therefore waste less time on unnecessary 'fun' and would instead be free by noon if I'm lucky.
