Dammit, now you've mentioned it, I'm going to have to watch every episode again for the 11th time.

Nobody yet has mentioned the obvious solution. Get a wireless mouse that doesn't use bluetooth. There's lots of different varieties, but my favourite is the Logitech G304.

Nice job, well done.

+1 for Signal. It's already on my phone, and already on my PC and laptop. It is a simple Flatpak install on Linux. It's end-to-end encrypted. I use that for one-off notes and files between my phone and my PC or between my laptop and PC.

For notes and small files that I know I'll want to save to reference at another time, I put them in my KeePassXC database because that's already set to sync between devices.

That's so true. I studied Ba. Information Technology for two years in 2004-2005 and dropped out due to family reasons, then I went back 10 years later and did Ba. Software Engineering in 2013-2016.

In both instances, it was clear about half those enrolled in the programme were only in it for the money, you could tell that some people were just not excited about software. They were the ones who had dropped out by the end of first year.

The other lot were those who did find it exciting, but severely underestimated the difficulty of the discipline. These were the kind of people who have can edit game config files to add a bunch of mods to Skyrim, they consider themselves a tech wiz want to study to be a game developer. But they barely pass intro to Web programming with html and JS in the first year and fail the first oracle database course in second year. I had some good friends who failed out hard in second year of software engineering for that reason.

I agree with your comment in general, but it does depend entirely on the context and the situation. Eg, at work, you can't just ask someone out. That's a sure fire way to end up in front of HR.

It's certainly a bad sign if you leave the interview and you're not sure if the job is for writing PHP or pleasuring his wife.

Dude, it's common knowledge that NSA has contributed significant portions of (security related) code to the kernel. No tin foil hat required.

Bro, you almost accidentally reached transcendence.

A banana.

I'm also a landmark graduate, and I can confirm it is a life changing experience.

Doing the forum allowed me to realise I have so much wasted potential, I didn't have to be working minimum wage repairing laptops at the local computer store, I enrolled at University in a IT degree with the goal to be a software engineer. Doing the forum gave me the confidence to tell my boss I'm quitting and going to be a full time student and how that's a good thing for him. The forum gave me the confidence to talk honestly with my wife about what I want from our marriage, instead of me constantly trying to appease her wants. It caused me to have a real, meaningful, deep conversation with my mother, for the first time in 20 years. I was able to tell her frankly that her narcissistic tendencies in my formative years caused me to suffer from debilitating chronic anxiety in my 20s, but it's okay because she did the best she could, and I'm now getting better.

I went on to do the Self-Expression and Leadership course, and later the Advanced course. My wife did the same. I eventually stopped because of the endless and relentless hard-sell routines to get all your friends and family to come and sign up. They have to realise that's off-putting to most people, but it's their only marketing avenue so it must work reasonably well.

• Ball rolls about two feet and stops just before it rolls off the table.
• White ball, polished surface, shiny
• Male
• Tall person, slender build, light brown hair, clean shaven, white button-up collared shirt, blue jeans.
• Ball was a bit bigger than a billiard ball, but smaller than a baseball. Smooth, and heavy. Like a white cricket ball but with no seams.
• It was one of those large common fold-up trestle tables but with a white table cloth on it.
• I knew all those without having to think about it, or choose afterwards.

To me the imagery seemed like a cheesy "how to push a ball" educational video with a paid actor to demonstrate how to push the ball in the correct manner.
