Of course the TSA is ineffective. Itās not meant to stop terrorism. Itās the visible face of the American Gestapo aka the DHS. Its job is to terrorise Americans into submission and restrict movements domestically.
anyone watch the new season of Ghost in the Shell:SAC_2045?
Iām not sure how I feel about the endingā¦
but to be honest the storyline has always been hit or miss for meā¦ its 70% just an excuse for me to oogle cyberpunk future techā¦
I donāt think spoilers, but just in case
those American Empire SEAL suits ( maybe suits? it wasnāt clear if they were exo suits or fully roboticā¦ but either way fucking sweet)
did Ghost in the shell ever explain why a cyber brain canāt be replanted in regards to purin? she didnāt seem to get shot in the headā¦
and we saw that Boma had his brain yanked the fuck outā¦ but he was ārecoveringā after the double think
feels like there should be some altered carbon aspect
@Coma backforce.gg is the gaming chair by interstuhl, interstuhl also makes this badboy:
The pure active, seems pretty decent, promises to be very healthy and I think it looks nice.
Costs about the same as the backforce pro, so I just pulled the trigger afterā¦ I donāt even wanna know how many hours of searching for a chair.

but if you had to guess?..
20h actual searching minimum and a lot of being distracted by unrelated reviews from the YT channels reviewing the chair I looked atā¦
I tested a lot of chairs in stores too, but they donāt sell good chairs here

Definitely looks nice, yeah, and I guess it comes with all the advantages the backforce has as well (given itās the same manufacturer). If it arrives, please share some pics and infos about how comfortable it is

Iām assuming, knowing you lolā¦ and your love of spending a lot of time on something tedious once and not messing with it againā¦
that you wrote some kind of script to automatically change your avatar on a daily basis?
Nope.
First of all, I only have to do it 62 more times, and it takes less than a minute. I guarantee you Iād spend more than 62 minutes figuring out how to upload an image to Discourse programmatically. Itās a dynamic Javascript blob, I aināt messing with that.
Secondly, it marks days to something personal. I want to do it by hand.
lol these 62+ min are fun tho, so you replace an hour of shit spread over 2 months with 2 hours of fun now
EDIT: oh no, discourse is weird, doesnāt look like fun at all

Iād rather French-kiss a skunk than script stuff on the intarweb. Iām an embedded systems engineer, not a web developer.
Here I just fire up Gimp every day, modify a dumb image, save it back, upload it here and thatās all there is to it. Iād have to do that for over a year to consider scripting it. Thatās how much I hate Javascript.
Also, like I says, doing it myself reminds me every day of what Iām doing it for. Itās like my little digital advent calendar sort of thing. I like that

thatās a good point
knowing the tampermonkey scripts you have written previously, there are some things you clearly hate more than javascript
Thatās different. More like covering yourself in DEET to ward off mosquitoes. You canāt will mosquitoes away and theyāll never stop because theyāre fucking mosquitoes. So while Iād rather not use chemicals on my skin, itās better than the unending nagging.

Iād happily trade a week of my life for a day without mosquitoes on occasion
Funny, Iāll take any number of mosquitoes for one more day.
Neither of you have visited the Scottish Highlands during midge season then.
I would venture to give 2 weeks of my life with the monsters we have in Florida. Them things are everywhere, and it doesnāt help that every 2 feet your walking into a pond or lake.
I grew up in GA so I get it
I know they actually feed a large portion of the biosphereā¦. But I would straight up green light wiping them off the planet
I live near the polar circle. You donāt know what mosquitoes are if you havenāt found yourself in the thick of a mosquito cloud in Lapland. When I go fishing there at the end of summer, I literally wear a net around a broad rimmed hat over my head and shoulders like beekeepers.
Worst is, there are two types of mosquitoes around here: small, fast, ultra-aggressive and super painful in spring, and big slow, slightly less aggressive and less painful in the summer, but can bite through thick clothing and hair, and leave you with a rather large bump.
Not everything is great in Finland

I have a friend who came down from the UK to visit family and she texted me asking how to keep away the mosquitos. She left the dang windows cracked for fresh air at night! She was basically a steak dinner for those damn things. I guess her windows didnāt have a screen.
