It's interesting that his thought process is, "It's not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!"
I mean, the thought process he's admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."
No, it's just a small rock I picked up from the beach. afaik, there's nothing special about it.
I have a small rock from Antarctica.
I have a necklace with a piece of 6,000 year old bog oak on it.
I have tiny pieces from three different meteorites: one from outer space, one from the moon, and one from Mars.
There's a mismatch between how many audio channels the broadcast/stream is sending vs how many your equipment is set up for. You can change the setting on the TV, but will likely run into a similar issue with a different broadcast at some point.
Honestly? I just force-set my tv to mono sound. I don't mind not having stereo sound, and it forces the volume to be normalized.
Cheap materials aside: for a lot of this stuff, you really want to be putting wood glue on the joints when you assemble it. The screws will hold the joints tight while the glue dries, then the glue holds the furniture together much better than it would with plain screws into cheap particle board. It's not a perfect solution, but it definitely increases the life of your furniture.
I said I'd put more effort into the work, not that I was putting no effort into it. Like, my grandad was an amateur photographer and I have all these negatives of his work. I can't afford the money to get them scanned professionally (so many negatives!), but I bought a pro-sumer grade negative scanner and am scanning them myself. Unfortunately, as I said, there are a lot of negatives, and it takes me around one hour to process each roll. It's gonna take me another year to scan all the negatives.
Then I have an entire bookcase of photographs that need to be scanned (only a small subset of these are granddad's work). Again, I can't afford to get them scanned professionally, but I have a decent scanner for the PC, so that's what I'm working with, but it'll take a long time to scan in and process all those photos.
My uncle was a professor and the university taped some of his lectures; a different aunt was a very small-time actress and has maybe 200 VHS tapes of her performances. Granddad was a local musician, so we have some audio tapes of that. Etc, etc, etc.
Everything needs time and concentration, and I'm only one person. It's gonna take me years to finish everything.
I'd put more effort into recording family history. Why aren't I doing so now? Because it's a lot of work and I don't have anyone to help me with it. It includes scanning photos, scanning negatives, and labeling and organizing all the pictures; converting reel-to-reel takes, mini-cassettes and audio cassettes to digital, and labeling those; converting VHS to DVD and labeling those; finding and transcribing family recipes and organizing them into an annotated cookbook; transcribing old letters from the early to late 1900's in various handwriting styles, and every medium from faded pencil to blotted fountain pen to hurriedly scrawled ballpoint, in everything from tissue-thin airmail paper to fragile student notepaper to cat-pee'd-upon cards; and writing a short biography of the various people who are pictured, recorded, written, etc, in all the various media.
New York’s broadband law imposes harmful rate regulations that make it uneconomical for AT&T to invest in and expand our broadband infrastructure in the state,” the company said
Like they've ever paid for broadband build-outs!
People are posting pictures of Kennedy's inauguration, where it was 22F and he wore just a regular suit with no coat.

I'm fortunate. I worked two full-time jobs while going through full-time university. I got out with with minimal debt, which I paid off in about five years.
My sister's fortunate, too. She had multiple degrees and a lot of student debt, but she died of covid. The loans that my mom co-signed for might have lived on after my sister's death, except my mom died before my sister, so all her loans died with her. Student loan processors hate this one weird trick!
I really miss my family - yet at the same time, I'm really glad they're not around to see what's happened to the country.
Well, they've ~~bribed Trump~~ help pay for the inauguration and are planning on attending, so it's all good, innit?
