I started paying for Google music when it started because I didn't like Spotify. Now I've been paying for so long it doesn't make sense to move away. When they implementet YT premium, I was hooked. I haven't seen an ad in years.

Also, streaming music and video is also way more data intensive, I wouldn't expect the random good Samaritan to pay the server costs for me. Yeah ads suck, but I don't see it as such a crazy thing to pay for not to have. Two decades ago you'd pay for cable and still get ads.

I don't approve of Google blocking adblockers because I'm sure it doesn't hurt their bottom line that much, but I also don't blame them.

My favorite tetris fact is that it may help with PTSD flashbacks. Link for the curious.

All I wanted was the ancient horse armor to summon Epona. I basically don't ever use horses because it's just so Inconvient to

Oh that's super interesting. I wonder if there's an easy way for me to test it out. I'm definitely of European decent, so it sounds unlikely that I wouldn't have the gene. Smells are very interesting, I wonder if the study is looking at a complete lack of scent, or just a significantly reduced scent. I'd imagine sweat still has an odor even without the bacteria.

That's the thing, i don't sweat (or rather notice I'm sweating) unless I use deodorant/antiperspirant. I have no need or desire to change my habits. Was mostly just curious if I was the only one

Yeah this is what I imagine is going on with my body and hence the post. Never heard anyone else talk about it or seen a real source.

For me, I feel like sweating from my pits localizes the smell and thus no one really smells it. Again, I barely sweat anyway. But when I do use antiperspirant (deodorant does the same but to a lesser extent), then I sweat everywhere and find it easier for people to smell and I just feel more gross.

Anyone who says "I don't want to have to draw my rifle", wants to draw their rifle.

Also, draw is a weird word in this context right? Draw your pistol, sure. But a rifle. I guess you can have a sling holster and technically would be "drawing" it.

Thanks for making this community! Hopefully it gains some good traction

Agreed.

And we should give extra points to people who grew up in disadvantaged situations but still had decent grades. A 'C' in AP History by someone working a job in high school, is just as good as someone who got an 'A' And didn't have to work.

Merit isn't just a good GPA. It takes into account all of the things that made it some more difficult for a person. Getting a decent score on an SAT exam when you went to a shit school, should be able to get you into a good college. But the reality is someone who lived in a zip code with better schools is more likely to get into that college purely by where they grew up. And you tend to grow up in a good neighborhood if you're parents were well off or had a degree themselves.

Purely looking at grades and scores is bad. Unfortunately, people of color tend (not always) be from worse neighborhoods. They tend to have a lot of disadvantages when it comes to getting good grades and good scores. Affirmative action is/was supposed to break the cycle. It's supposed to help give a little more merit to the situations surrounding grades Ultimately, it's supposed to diversify the nicer neighborhoods.

I blame apple for this. They are using imessage and the green bubbles as marketing to get people to buy their hardware. So it's either you talk to people with iPhones or you use sms.

Meanwhile Google has been trying to get apple to use RCS for years. I would be curious if RCS and iMessage are susceptible. I didn't see anything about them when I glanced through your link.

Oh damn. I never thought about adding the extra two pieces. That's good. Thanks.

Just to add some extra detail for others. The router bits have bearings that ride on the template. The bearings prevent you from cutting farther into your final piece but cuts everything else out.

I have a small table router. I find that holding the router by hand results in some wobbling and therefore imperfect cuts. Because of that I can't clamp the pieces together. So, I bought some industrial double sided tape that works extremely well.

Oh my god! Thank you. I just made my post about those exact same two gripes. Its so rare to see people complain about it and I really don't understand why.

I'm glad I'm not the only one
