Did you eat paint chips as a kid?

I still lift weights, although now it is more about staying toned than getting huge gains. I also try to do cardio at least twice a week.

Injuries are harder to recover from so if something starts to hurt in a bad way I stop and do something else.

I’m grinding through this one now. The graphics are great, and the game does feel like a modern doom, but the fun does seem to be lacking.

I’ll finish it, but don’t think I’d replay it.

I bet the Saudis have their eye on this one too.

I have some earplugs I carry on my keyring that I originally bought for concerts. I don’t know if you can wear something like that or noise cancelling headphones, but that might help on occasion.

Whistling is where I’d draw the line though. That would make me the crazy person that would confront him directly. If he isnt receptive to knocking it off I would escalate to my boss or get hr back in the mix.

It isn’t a specific number of hours.

Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.

If it feels harmful seek help. If not, have fun.

I like Mamdani – he is well spoken and passionate about helping people. Jon Stewart would do a good job, but I don’t know if we need more celebrities.

Same, I think deals on the lifetime pass still show up periodically, but I got it when it was about $40 too. It’s good software I use daily, so I’m happy with it.

Looks like on the last deal it was $120

Currently it is $250, which is too rich for my blood. Then again I just paid $70 for Doom the dark ages

Maybe it is video games and the devil’s music.

I played lots of borderlands 2 with my friends back in the day it was pretty fun.

Three came out, played it for a bit, but it was just more of the same and somehow worse. Then I watched that God awful movie.

I think I’m over the franchise, but maybe here in a few years I’ll pick it up for $5 in a summer sale.

I’m fully stopped. Now what?

Jfc, this again?

They parse the website for feeds, search, etc. It is a java library and it looks like they are using jsoup to parse the dom.

Using the website and actually establishing a connection to a video are separate things. The search side of things is essentially a headless browser that is just aimlessly looking for videos. As far as YouTube is concerned nothing is played during this process.

When you decide to commit and watch a video, the NewPipe client establishes a connection to the video stream, which doesn’t count for YouTube stats.

YouTube counts a view for long-form content when a viewer watches for at least 30 seconds, while Shorts views count each time a short begins to play or replay, with no minimum watchtime. Valid views must come from human users, with limitations on how often the same person can generate views within a short timeframe to prevent fraud from bots or artificial inflation.

Using the API “correctly” is likely a requirement for the view to be counted. Their media extractor circumvents that by intentionally not using their API and instead parsing their website for content. Then it establishes a connection to the stream using an internal API.

If you want a view to count you need to use an official client (or at least one with a legit API key). It not counting is a feature with NewPipe.

(Google probably knows the content is being streamed, but if you could just create synthetic views with a third party project, that would be bad for YouTube stats)

From the NewPipe FAQ:

Does NewPipe use the YouTube API?

No. NewPipe does not rely on the YouTube API, as using it requires an API key bringing with it specific regulations and restrictions. YouTube would then have more options of tracking your YouTube usage at their disposal. Therefore, NewPipe Extractor gets the information by parsing YouTube websites.

Divided we fall. Seriously though.

I’ll tell little white lies like “why yes, I’d love to work here, your company is very exciting” especially if it is a practice interview. I did that recently where I wanted to test the job market and applied somewhere I wasn’t stoked about to test the waters.

I won’t lie about myself. If/when you get hired you’ll have to maintain the lie and that is exhausting.

You just need to sell yourself. Highlight strengths, know your weaknesses. Don’t bring up some fancy things in your field if you’ve only heard about them.

At my university, professors had phone lines, but only in their offices. In my lower education, there was a main office with administrative assistants that would handle messages for the teachers.

We did have the classic intercom system, and the main office could page a teacher if something urgent was going on.

Right now a startup using AI can get some funding if you have a half decent idea and a prototype. It’s dumb, but that’s a thing.

B2b saas type offerings can make some bank. Wrap an aws service and resell with your own flair…

You can sell data, but that requires an idea.

Otherwise buy some glass beads and get your ass on etsy
