I think the windows emoji picker has ascii emojis but yeah it’s missing from the others. If it’s only a couple you can add them to a shortcut or pin them on your clipboard.

I also tend to switch to their language automatically

Sad language learner sounds

For things involving payments, the info should probably be real but I might use only a first name if I can get away with it. And if it’s asking for an address for no good reason I’ll give a fake address in the same city. No one’s ever asked me for a name in a restaurant.

But it does keep people from leaving due to lack of content. And these people may bring more at some point. It depends on the actual content of course.

Shower scene theme from psycho. The idea was it would be shocking enough to wake me up every time. After some years it doesn’t work anymore but it’s still annoying enough to force my brain to wake up and turn it off (eventually).

So I had nothing to do tonight and went back and rewatched it.

Ideally you shouldn’t completely trust the characters either way. But ok it might be easier for the movie to avoid issues when there’s little info. It gives more work to the viewer too.

We still know what we see. Many movies are equally vague about the actual mechanics and still introduce contradictions.

Tbf the characters don’t have to understand or explain anything. If there is a way for the internal logic of the movie to work without contradicting itself, that should be good enough for no plot holes.

Primer is one of those movies that needs like 3 rewatches to spot a plot hole and no one’s got time for that. Another good show of this type is Steins;Gate (totally watch it if you like time travel stuff)

Wish it worked like that with the lights. I don’t like artificial light so only have some back lights on or none at all most of the time. And will sleep until 1pm with two big windows without blinds in my room.

Assuming you can change the future, you can send a message with your location history every x minutes to your 1-day (or more) ago self. You will have to encode it (and I guess this should be done outside the phone) in a way that the assassin can’t spoof a message. You’ll have to figure out that encoding as soon as you find out about the assassin since that’s your message travel limit anyway. When you start receiving messages you follow that location history and then stop following it when you stop receiving them because something went wrong there. Eventually some instance of you might make it 7 days.

Not really to the point where my handwriting is shit because I haven’t written anything substantial for the past 5(?) years. But paper is still the best for drawing schemas/associations. And normal drawings of course, I carry a small notebook for that.

Seems like the natural progression of things

You know, if copilot also joins morning meetings for you while you sleep, that’s a deal I’m willing to make

Teams dying doesn’t sound too bad either. Just hoping the next iteration isn’t even worse

In every device it’s a photo I took and different from the wallpaper. They’re both edited to match a color theme, usually grayscale+one more color (currently orange). The photos are usually of buildings, flowers or cats but right now I have a combo of a bicycle for lock screen and building for wallpaper.

It might happen with non-crt screens too. I remember a flat screen (LCD?) that made a different noise depending on the color it displayed. White and light colors made a lot more noise and if you had good ears you could tell the difference without looking. Not sure how they work though to explain this.

It’s ok in some salads and things pickled in vinegar are good. I don’t like apple cider vinegar though.

But salt and vinegar chips are amazing. Best way to destroy your mouth without going spicy.

Some of these choices are a bit weird. I selected cybersecurity expecting to see my instance but it returns sh.itjust.works instead. But infosec.pub does appear in general technology sometimes so the site knows about it.
