This shit drives me nuts. The locals will be like “oh well, the bugs usually aren’t this bad…”
Sure Jorge, the bugs always just follow me from the US whenever I visit. The entire European continent has such a weirdly abusive relationship with the very concept of climate control.
Me, being smug about how I can have a bookshelf on both sides of the window and still open it fully without a large piece of glass protruding into the room:
This. I have these windows in one room in the US because I installed them myself. IDK if they are significantly cheaper in Germany, but for the price to have one professionally installed in the US I could have actually replaced the entire wall with floor to ceiling windows.
Just to add that proper mesh systems are distinct from extenders as they will use separate mesh channels for back haul. They also have the “travel AP” things which act as extenders but form a new network on a different channel. You can actually do this with many Android phones as well.
I don’t hate it but as a kid I would read legit like 2 or 3 books every week and now I do maybe one per month and struggle to stay focused, and also feel like a disappointment to my younger self.
But do you even bring your glass back to the bar before you leave?
Google search AI mode says “no information” but Gemini in the app says that “some Doctors have speculated” about signs of cognitive decline.
Especially since this has been an identity theft scam for decades. People post fake, too good to be true, rental listings on Craigslist and the application asks for SSN and a “family reference” (asking for mother’s maiden name) and a weirdly small deposit paid by check. Now you’ve got all the info you need to steal someone’s identity. And I assume this kind of thing has gotten more sophisticated in the digital realm since I was last renting.
Yes you literally need to bring wipes around with you. Things are slowly changing but for a long time there was no TP in any bathroom stall outside of fancy hotels and maybe high end restaurants.
I’ve been to China many times, and this is arguably the least offensive TP situation.
The implication is that it’s operating as a general purpose mobile botnet of sorts, and there is likely someone out there selling services on it. It seems like someone was using it for swatting (which is how they found it), and others may have been using it for spam and forum bots. The narrative that it was specifically a tool for attacking cellular infrastructure is a bit misleading. It might have been useful for that but as far as well know it was never used that way.
I declare it!
Agreed - I really hate doing this “next generation bad” thing, but this really is a different situation than what we’ve seen before. The way the Internet creates a feedback loop of extremism around every single topic is terrifying, and people are completely missing the profound effects this is having on developing brains - priming them for radicalization while critical thought atrophies.
When we grew up we had a set of influences which grounded us in reality. Even if we found subversive places on the Internet, we still spent most of our time with our parents and teacher and coaches, etc. This is completely inverted now. Kids traverse the internet like a dog sniffing out idiotic ideas, and when they find the validation they seek, there’s seemingly no way to pull it out of them.
I thought conservatives don’t like cancel culture
Reminder that Ground news exists entirely to push a “both sides” narrative in a world where right wing media openly seeks to push “alternative facts” and big lies.
Hey he looks like 15 random names I just found in the phone book

I will bet my favorite testicle that the shooter is a right wing loon
We went to the bird cliffs in Iceland and I legit lost my voice because the wind was so strong I had to yell at the top of my lungs for my wife to hear me from a foot away.
