Lol yeah, all these overengineered solutions. How often do you really need to share something larger than 25MB between devices and also don't have USB handy?

Oh my god, this attitude that someone is not allowed to be happy about some things because other things are bad drives me up the fucking wall.

Of course you're going to be depressed and anxious and feel like the world is ending and there's nothing that can be done besides wait for full societal collapse if you set these rules that you can't enjoy the good until things are perfect.

If I'm editing more than one object in AD I almost always use Powershell. It was one of the main motivations for me to learn it in the first place.

It's so obvious it was a GUI made for what was once a back end tool that wasn't meant to be fussed with all the time, but then had more and more features slapped on top over time. And don't get me started on the integration between AD and On-Premises Exchange Server. I don't think I have much more than a 3 hour long exasperated scream in me about that bundle of fuck.

Does he really, or does he employ people who have this knowledge?

Even giving him the biggest possible benefit of the doubt, ignoring his politics, and ignoring just about everything else negative about him... so many of his projects miss their announced release dates with little to no technical discussion/disclosure on why.

On top of that, we only need to look at his short lived attempt to style himself as a particularly skilled gamer. If he was so clearly lying and cheating (by using an account built by someone else) on something that inconsequential, it should cast significant doubt on his other claimed skills and accomplishments (if none of his other shit caused that doubt for you yet).

I love how everyone is assuming that anon is saying that's why not to have an elven waifu. So wholesome.

Being a 4chan post, there's a pretty big chance that this is someone explaining why they get off to elven waifus.

And it's self-reported by the datacenters. I don't want to just say that their numbers aren't reliable, but they have a vested interest in downplaying their impact.

These are datacenters that get approval to use certain power plant styles with pollution capture technology installed that are then building more generators than approved and installing none of the pollution capture tech. So extra pollution and none of the mitigation.

It's worth noting that Penny's Big Breakaway is made by the majority of the people who made Sonic Mania. And the Sonic Android ports.

So it's very well polished.

A romance for the ages

I'm kind of shocked that you feel like you can confidently claim you know this guy's condition and the cause of him not receiving proper care when you had to be told to call 911 for someone fucking convulsing on the ground.

You really tried to sneak that past by front loading with that tangent, lol.

There's a decent handful of conditions beyond brain trauma that can lead to convulsions. Unmedicated epilepsy is a pretty obvious one. Supposedly withdrawals from certain illegal substances as well. Hope the guy is getting help now.

And ask any hospital worker, one of the most frustrating parts of care is that people can and do just walk the fuck out.

I'd look for old apks for it on places like apk mirror, then look into pulling the assets out of the apk file.

If you're lucky, the music is just sitting in the apk in some standard format like mp3, wav, or ogg.

Likewise, someone else mentioned there are PC versions. You could check for those on various abandonware sites.

You can mitigate (but not entirely stop the technique) by WhatsApp Settings, select Privacy, go to Advanced, and enable “Block unknown account messages.” and also disabling read receipts.

You could also uninstall the app and see if your battery usage reduces, or check in your phone's battery usage statistics for WhatsApp using a lot of it.

Oh god, you don't have any reading comprehension either.

Edit: I told you to read the room in another comment, not the one you responded to here.

"Reading the room" has nothing to do with "laws", lmao. Neither does suggesting better places to post your drivel. You can't possibly be this stupid.

You're free to ignore people telling you to fuck off and post dumb shit like this. We're free to continue to tell you to fuck off.

You're also free to be a drooling idiot trying to claim that the group that doesn't want this shit here is somehow "crying" about it or whatever the fuck you're trying to use as an insult. I see a bunch of people coming together to post the type of shit they want to see, downvoting what they don't, and telling people why.

You're welcome to leave the comm, or create your own one if this space is no longer what you want out of it.

I'm done here. I've got an actual toddler to deal with instead of your concentrated attempts to be one.

 

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.
