You have a point. After I wrote it I thought of 2 things. Firstly, even those that are lucky enough to travel will never travel everywhere. So, how can they claim the best without having seen all possibilities? Secondly, there are ways to learn and /or experience things without being physically present, like read about it in a book, or watch a documentary. That counts for something.

Now I think about it, I could have changed it to:

"I live in the best country on the planet!”

“Really? How do you know? How do you measure that? What evidence do you have to back that up?”

But, it would probably go all downhill from there, as the original one inevitably would…😆

“I live in the best country on the planet!”

“Have you ever been to another country?”

“Well, no. But why would I do that when I’m already in the best country!”

This doesn’t apply to just the US…

Oh, yeah I know 27 programming languages.

What? Haha, no, I can’t program them.

Me: Because I can’t find a single one.

idk, I just kinda hope we can get past ‘coming out’ and just accept people.

I know it’s a very idealistic view and people face horrendous challenges, discrimination and even death.

But love will win, won’t it?

“You know enough to be dangerous”

It can be used as either an insult or a compliment.

Nobody ever gives the cow any credit…

I misread you as saying “Thanks late stage filesystem.” 🤣

A scifi short story I read was set in a somewhat idyllic future.

Robots did everything. Everyone was given housing, food etc. Health was covered and people lived virtually forever. Nobody worked, and you could travel and do anything you wanted.

The most prized thing, that everyone was desperate for, was having an original thought.

Worse still, no manual entry of the birth date, so it takes ages to scroll down and select the year.

That it’s never too late!

The ‘brands’ they are displaying.

I see people checking me and others out. What runners are they? Jordans or KMart? Is that a Lacoste or walmart? Is that a real Rolex or D&G handbag?

But for me, it’s not judging them like you think.

I judge them flashing brands as a sign of insecurity, a need to appear wealthy and ‘fit in’, and a likely ‘keep up with the Jones’ jealous type.

So, I actually feel sad for them.

And, yes, I am aware it’s super judgemental and I’m no doubt hypocritical as well, as there are some things I will buy certain brands for.

You could always use the Page Information to get the Created and Last updated from the web server.

Oh, wait. All the pages are dynamically generated,.so both of those are dated now. 😥

The main attractor to me is that with an electric car, you could theoretically be energy independent. Same goes with an ebike.

Eg, Solar -> battery -> EV/ebike

No need to be relying on rotten dinosaurs dug up out of wherever, with a million middle men and taxes.

I went down the Pi 4B with Kodi path. It wasn’t very reliable. It was just sometimes when I went to watch something, it just was broken. And I had to go through troubleshooting instead of watching whatever I had turned it on for.

I ended up with an Amazon firestick. Even using Kodi (and smarttube) on that works faster and more reliably.

But then I have the Amazon firestick nosing around in everything I do lol. But I did disconnect my TV from the internet…

And as a little boy, I always had 10 years experience in a technology that’s 5 years old.

I avoid Sony altogether nowadays.

They pulled linux off the PS3. Then years later I bought a Sony XZ Premium phone and they removed screen sharing Miracast from that.

Fooled me twice. No more shame on me.

SILENCE, PEASANT!

You will now work Saturday as well!

What should I have said?

"Wow, sadly I think it means that person has some serious mental issues, and we should get them some help.

Are you feeling okay? Do you want me to call someone for you?"
