Nice.

I’m not sure about those devices, but with a paid account it unlocks speaker grouping and casting to various devices or rooms, or play here on current device function. I don’t have their device, just a raspberry pi with the OS.

Does Volumio suit your needs? I haven’t used Plex audio to compare

Proton or Tuta mail. Supports aliasing so you can make unique email addresses per website, and trash them if you get spammed.

Singing up for a paid account you also get VPN, drive storage, password manager, docs, sheets, AI chat (I know), calendar, meetings and authenticator.

Usually if I have had a disagreement with somebody, where my facts were correct, they are mad maybe, so then they go downvote my posts or comments as some weird retaliation

Yes, understood. I know a few. But unless there are secret traits then I don’t see how it is autism. There are absolutely no signs or quirks, just a normal person with a few abandonment issues from an odd parent situation.

They’ve probably crunched the numbers, where storing inventory and the labour to piece stuff together is more costly than just tossing out the value of the wood.

Yeah, a friend I’ve known 40 years recently got an autism diagnosis. I was shocked, nothing about her seems to be autism, I see Borderline Personality Disorder…but nobody wants that label.

My dog watching TV.

We had two dogs previously that could not see the TV, or mirrors. They totally had no reaction nor interaction , like the TV show or mirror didn’t exist in front of them, even if we positioned them right in front of either.

Our new dog will actively watch dramas with us, or nature shows. We also catch her stopping in front of the full length mirror and staring at herself.

Since she seems to understand it’s people on screen, my wife laughs at me when I cover the dogs eyes if its going to be a violent scene. Since she’s a rescue, with some issue, I figure it’s not good for her to see people attacking others.

Yep, our dog will watch TV dramas in bed with us on a laptop, but if its a nature show and a rabbit walks out of shot she gets up to see if the rabbit is somehow coming out the back or aide of the computer

I enjoy Xonotix once in a while. Old school shooter like Quake or Doom. You can play online or solo against computer players. Lots of weapons to nab with odd effects.

If they were homeschooled, they’d probably be better off.

To know if you are on your home network and use direct lan etc, rather than finding a sync relay in the cloud…something like that.

My issue would be with my spouse not the other party.

I see it with White middle aged Americans.

Them: Oh me I’m Irish

Me: Oh, your parents, grandparents came over?

Them: No, Great Great Great Great… Grandfather

Me: huh, OK. Have you ever been to Ireland?

Them: No, I want to one day.

Not sure why you got downvoted, they have probed microchondrial DNA and shows the timeline of emergence from africa and spreading migration paths.

I’m in the Vancouver area so people that looks like a celebrity usually are that celebrity.

I’m not out much but I saw Carrie Anne Moss pushing here new born one time a decade or so back, Pamela Anderson, David Suzuki, and Kim Catrall.

You get the “hmm that person looks familiar” feeling, they often smile or nod because you are staring wondering where you know them from.

Some ads I saw last year didn’t even talk about the product, I had no clue what they were selling, other than a quirky relationship video

My son used to eat too fast without chewing properly.
He’d just swallow lumps of food sometimes, even though we’d actively work on slowing down.

He was a solid mass of a kid from his down syndrome, (he has the physique of a silverback)

He went wide eyed at dinner one night and wasn’t breathing, I had to get him out of the chair and spun around for a heimlich maneuver. Because he was choking he was going all limp, and I’d just finished cancer treatment so I was fatigued and weak AF, so it took everything I had to lift him and do the heimlich. He coughed out the food on the first or second try. Thankfully, because I was done after that exertion.
