The only oranges I see smell a lot like kerosene…

I have been using Jellyfin for over a year, brilliant thing. Makes it very easy to stream my media; I have one client catered to music, and the main one for movies/TV shows.

Depends on the person. Everyone reacts differently to any drug, and cannabis is no different in this respect.
I have friends who consume once or twice per day, any more and they’re not functional enough for the day. I have friends who consume once every few weeks, any more and it causes issues for them.

I consume 2-3g of flower per day, throughout each day, alongside the occasional hashish and edible, and I’ve accomplished a fair bit from an unconditional offer to university for History BA Hons, worked for a US gov contract with the Affordable Care Act, etc. etc. (currently taking a change of direction and getting into a more creative field).

If most people smoked like I do, the last thing they would be doing is reading novels and research articles like myself.

Everyone is different. Really pay attention to how your consumption affects you, and make a sober assessment on whether it’s something that you’re comfortable fitting into your life in the manner in which you consume. The truth that many people don’t say, and this is coming from a consumer of just over two decades, is there are plenty of people for which cannabis is NOT good for, and provides more detriment than benefit.

Listen to your body and mind, is all I can suggest, but if you feel that it doesn’t cause conflicts in your daily living I wouldn’t worry about it. Enjoy the ganja, find something tasty and have a good time :)

Ah thanks for pointing that out, I forget not all US States have it.

Nearly every restaurant I’ve been to, and take away place, has proudly shown their hygiene ratings as a sticker on the window. These can be verified via a website too. It’s very useful as I get an upset stomach rather easily.

The best burgers I have had, have been from small back alley places. Had one a couple of months ago, lovely quarter pounder with chips (fries) and a drink for around £6 here in London.

Had less of an upset stomach too, although I do still check the hygiene ratings for the places which helps in this regard.

I do this always, and even for my spliff ends (we call the cardboard bit a roach here) in a pocket ash tray.

It really bugs me when I find a rather nice smoke spot, lovely nature area, and upon my third or fourth visit there is just rubbish everywhere.

Folks have cleaned the areas, only to find them in such a state in practically no time at all.

I wish people would take more responsibility with their rubbish. It literally takes only one pocket, or a small otherwise unused compartment in my bag. It’s ridiculously easy to not litter!!

… Did it give good advice, though?

Silicone can be expensive, and I have a Lidl just down the road.

This was my issue with them, back in the day. I loved the sound (minus the leaking), however they were always getting caught in my hair.

In this case hydration can lead to a rather good ass, as well.

This gave me a genuine laugh, thanks haha.

When you consume a high fibre diet, you require more water than usual. Depending on the body type, it can be difficult to ascertain just how much water someone needs to consume.

If you drink a normal amount of water on a constantly high fibre diet, you can tear your anus doing a big poo. There is no nicer way to say it.

Being someone who has to consume high fibre, as part of a medical condition, I cannot stress this enough: DRINK WATER, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD DRINK MORE WATER THAN YOU USUALLY DO!!!

You sound like my dentist.
Although I do miss my teeth…

What I’ve noticed is YouTube recommending me more obscure videos, from very small creators.

I very much appreciate whatever they’re doing, regardless of how these bigger channels are being hit by it. Yesterday I got recommended a video by an elderly woman, showing a mug warmer she bought. It was very sweet, had less than 30 views and it was a lovely contrast to the flashy, over edited videos stretching a paragraph to 10+ minutes.

Not saying the big channels are bad, I just personally like the small time channels and appreciate that YouTube has been (at least with the algorithm it has set for me) giving these small channels a shot at getting an audience.
I’ve connected with a lot of people from smaller channels, joined communities etc. yet this is much more difficult with the larger ones (in some I’ve been to, over the years, the chatrooms they set up are so huge the moderation sometimes just gives up or doesn’t even exist in any practical way).

The elements within the meme are real issues, so yes? I mentioned articles.

Windows 10 IoT LTSC has security updates until 2032.

Edit: I also just saw your edit.

I literally fixed a laptop for a family member, and thought I’d put Windows 11 on it because they may like the shiny new thing.
Articles like this are making me revert them to Windows 10 (IoT LTSC).

Whilst this is true, it’s also a good reason to move to self hosting if possible.

I’ve been slowly removing my reliance on these ad filled services, even though the apks I use have ads removed, and this news just gives me more reason to ramp this up since these same APKs may no longer work without some trickery by 2027 (if they go with this plan).

Still, this all seems like constant patchwork as any and all effort is being taken to rid ourselves of control over our devices. It’s an iffy situation and I just hope people smarter than myself will continue fighting, in some manner.

As someone pointed out, this happens due to the source output being surround sound, which causes this effect when listening with stereo speakers.

Good news is if the TV or media player doesn’t have a Stereo option, usually there’s an option to force Mono audio which sometimes does the trick. If your speakers are shit enough you can barely tell the difference!
