This would be convenient indeed, but I've learned to be indifferent about it as long as the manual or readme provides helpful and succinct information.

The average human's critical thinking skill was already low before AI, so...

Manuals or notifications written with lay people in mind, not experts.

"Small"? It's literally changing the time, one of the most significant variables in our lives.

Everyone has heard the hypothetical "if I could timetravel I'd kill Hitler", right? Well, now's the opportunity to depose of multiple aspiring Hitlers. Luigi Mangione laid the groundworks. They might not be building concentration camps, yet, but their greed is causing suffering of and/or killing just as many if not more.

To be honest, if I had to choose a dictatorship to be conquered by I'd pick China over the US hands down. My antipathy for racist macho morons runs deep.

“Is antireligion Christophobic or Islamophobic?
Yes, but especially the word Islamophobic has become a dysphemism because it sounds worse than it is. There's nothing wrong with being allergic or scared of stupid or dangerous ideas. Pacifists aren't slandered as “warphobists” either.” —To consider antireligion instead of atheism | arscyni.cc

Nearly always it's been during the live USB install of a dual-boot that a distro messes with the grub or installed grub to the USB disk itself. The fault lies with me because I'm almost blindly trusting the distro, but also with the distro for lacking proper yet succinct documentation during the install or configuration of partitions.

"…and peer-to-peer technology such as BitTorrent or Blockchain/Bitcoin.

Goddammit.

Humanity still mainly consists of imbeciles, glad you're not one of them.

I'm looking for a song video clip which features a very close up shot of female lips. At a certain point it becomes sexual without being explicit, and it is suggested that the woman bit off a mans penis.

What is love? (beehaw.org)

No seriously, what does love mean to you? The love of your child, the love of your partner(s), monogamy, polyamory, (non) consensual non-monogamy, infatuation, limerence, heartbreak. The love of one's hobby, the love for an object, the love of an idea, et cetera. Whatever it is that comes to mind goes.

The Apprentice's remarkable acting and screenwriting genuinely encapsulates Trump's rise to power. The writers failed to succumb to simple mockery, but laid bare cause and effect sans nauseam. My disbelief has finally yielded to understanding why there's no better representative for contemporary USA; Donald Trump is the worst victim of toxic masculinity.

The simple trick to keeping one's upper body warm is adding layers. However, wearing multiple socks does not work for the feet. At least not for me. Any advice? Preferably non-electric solutions.

Money corrupts; bitcoin corrupts absolutely. Disregarding all of bitcoin's shortcomings, a financial instrument that brings out the worst in people—greed—won't change the world for the better.

Because I've been eating rice more often I realized via my energy bill that cooking in a pot on an electric plate for 30 minutes consumes massive amounts of electricity. Therefore I'm currently browsing for rice cookers, but the info on energy efficiency leaves much to be desired.

What would be the most efficient method to cook brown rice? Which appliance would be recommendable and ideally be in line with the Buy It For Life philosophy?
