If you map this to the political compass instead, I’ll give you a virtual high five.

Oh… :(

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.

I never stated any positive or negative association in my comment

Cocaine has also ruined many lives. Both are horrible and some people cannot control their consumption.

I was reading a story recently about an Italian plumber’s brother doing big things with less equipment.

Kids, especially at 5, just don’t need it. It isn’t helpful or social for a 5 year old.

IMO, you shouldn’t give any gifts to kids under 10, that you don’t intend to allow them to use unrestricted. If it’s meant to be restricted, don’t call it theirs.

Also, every kid is brought up different. I don’t think they’ll be embarrassed not knowing how to scroll a touchscreen… Stop hating on your brother’s parenting styles unless it’s harming their kids. Buy him some kids scissors and glue if he needs the practice.

This usually works for me too

I have a Clara 2E. It was some time ago, so I cannot remember all the fine details, but I couldn’t get mine to start without some internet connection. I gave a throwaway email and allowed it to update before I switched off WiFi and could freely move books with Calibre.

To it’s credit, in 3 years since purchase it has not asked for internet since switching it on the first time.

Yeah, this is ai slop

No, it’s worse than that. Putin attended a wedding (in 2018, 5 months post Crimea annexation) of the then foreign minister [link].

They dissolved their government in 2019 after the then leader of the FPÖ told a journalist pretending to be a relative of an oligarch, that she could ensure positive coverage in exchange for government contracts. This might not be a direct link to a foreign enemy, but the corruption runs deep. [Link]

A senior quasi-secret service officer was discovered by the British to have been a spy for at least 7 years before he was apprehended. He was (cheaply) selling state secrets and providing information to the Russians… [link.]

You’ve got to love them 🇦🇹

Austria too!

Says it in the article:

The discovery of the missing data from the budget airline’s Boeing 737-800 jet’s crucial final minutes was surprising and suggests all power, including backup, may have been cut, which is rare.

And this is why it is too cheap to call these people idiots. They know exactly how to get the image they need and spin it to their advantage. AND they move faster than their lies.

The apostrophe is feet, right? That’s shallower than I thought.

A single moment of madness.

You put the “L” in “LLM”.

I’ve done this with an old pair and works fine. It may be worth noting that I have had a few of these adapter’s fail over time. So if OP takes this solution, I would not recommend permanently fixating the adapter to the headphones (e.g. with super glue)
