obviously.

I can walk out any door and be in the forest, so overall I’d say forest…but if you’re teleporting me there and back for thr day, I’d pick a bit of beach.

It is not always feasible to differentiate. I only know a dozen or so Japanese or Korean words. Fewer Chinese. Some of the rudest people Ive seen in public were probably Chinese tourists in Myanmar, but I only had my guide’s word on their nationality. IMO, Japanese are usually much more polite in small numbers. By the busloads, less so. I cant reliably tell Chinese from Korean without hearing them speak a bit.

More, though, I just feel like cultural norms like personal space are just very different in Asia in general, so I find it strange.

Another one that has gotten me is that Eastern Europe doesnt smile in public. They literally think you’re mentally ill if you smile like an idiot in public.

Ive not noticed that at all. In my experience, Russians are absolute shitheels when abroad. Americans aren’t much better. Most Asian tourists are super rude by Western standards of behavior. Europeans are mostly fine unless theyre very old or visiting the US.

Make noise. They will hear you coming and gtfo. They’ll leave on their own, so let them. Dont corner them.

Stick a bowl of water on top of it.

Neither, really.

I take a moment to appreciate medical science for bringing us H1 antagonists (2nd generation anti-histamines.)

I do that with my Asus mesh network (using Merlin-gnuton firmware.) I actually have been having problems because most phones now rotate the MAC address, I have to do it with rules

edit: And I prefer not to have them use different ssids, which I guess is the other way. Iirc, my router would let me make 2.4 a separate network.

But… I already have it, though. I just never play it because I am pretty happy with 5 and it runs better on my macbook.

Sorry it came to this. We sane few who remain will miss you; we will undoubtedly be worse for losing the diversity of thought (and snarky humor) expats like you bring.

The best advice in the thread so far was to freeze your credit. And I’d add: don’t assume you’ll never want to come back just because your current self doesn’t forsee it. For your own sake, don’t burn bridges out of spite.

I own 6 but still havent played it much.5, on the other hand, I still play a few hours a week.

For $3600, it damned well better be more than just sensual. That fucking thing better give me a handy morning noon and night and it better be fucking good, too.

Possibly a broken adblocker

Oh shit, I use MLC Chat. I ought to see if i can pull this update

The article is referring to Android 16 Beta. Most people will be on Android 15 or older.

I’m on Graphene, so Stable channel is 15 and I am not brave enough for Beta on my everyday driver.

Literate.

Hyperlexia is a thing, kids with super-reading.

I might have nerve damage. Hmm. Do I seek the opinion of a qualified medical professional? Nah. I’ll ask Lemmy.

Dude. Just go to the urgent care or whatever you have where you live.

I… guess I didn’t watch anything. My kids tend to monopoloze the TV

I run Pihole+Unbound, Debian baremetal on a tinypc. RPi was too unreliable. I was too often dealing with issues.

My router is the failback, as it has blocking too.
