Standing by your bed while you’re asleep and berating you isn’t manipulative?

Nah, to needs to leave, now. No sense hanging around to see what this escalates to. Not worth putting in the effort for someone who’s demonstrated they need to grow up.

Her standing by your bed and behaving like that is childish and she’s demonstrating manipulative behaviour.

The mall was dying by the 80’s, there was a sharp decline by then (I recall seeing numerous malls going vacant in the 90’s, around the country).

The things that drove mall popularity (especially things like large, enclosed, air-conditioned space), were no longer novel. Most cars were air-conditioned by then.

I’m sure there are many other factors, like the growth of free-standing single-vendor buildings (so construction and management costs must’ve changed).

Amazon really had nothing to do with it.

Doesn’t look like it works with other calendar systems yet?

Currently, Notion Calendar integrates and syncs with Google Calendar accounts. Adding support for other calendar providers such as Outlook and iCloud is on our roadmap.

Also it only works with a Notion account? It gives me no other options - just “Login to your Notion account”.

I wouldn’t call Thunderbird “decent”, I’d call it nominally functional.

Performance is terrible, lots of lags, etc. And this on a fairly new, recently rebuilt, 16gb Windows LTSC laptop (so no bloat).

And then there’s the UI stuff - monochromatic so hard to tell where one window/tab starts/ends, etc.

Laugh tracks were extensively used long before the Fran Drescher thing though?

Nearly every show I watched from the 60’s to the early 80’s used them. It was noticeable when there wasn’t a laugh track.

I’ve worked for numerous enterprises since the 90’s.

None of them have been this idiotic. All of them implemented secure channels. Remember SecurID cards for dial up connections?

Look into your municipality’s recycling process, see how it’s done, what the inputs are, what the total energy use is, etc, etc.

I’d bet a year’s salary it’s far less effective (if at all) than most people think.

“Recycle” was/is a marketing grift developed by the oil industry in the 70’s. It largely isn’t effective.

As someone else mentioned, aluminum (and steel) are very recyclable, and are already extensively recycled in manufacturing (don’t forget that reusing scrap within a factory is considered recycling).

Everything else largely isn’t, yet. Glass is very recyclable, but the transport costs are exorbitant, so I suspect it’s a negative for things like drink bottles, while the energy costs on most plastic recycling makes it not yet viable, from what I’ve read.

Someday, just not today.

If the 3 R’s, Reduce is the one that truly makes a difference.

There were handheld electronic card game players in the 80’s.

You’d be surprised how many phone calls took place at that time.

Mayne talking about a show, or chatting someone up, etc. You were bored, so a phone was great.

Readers Digest contained multiple books in one volume

So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

I like how you assume another civilization would be any more rational.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

That’s a Frickin’ Land Yacht!

I’ve driven a few beasts like these… It’s something else

Syncthing.

Just sync your DCIM folders.

You can enable “Ignore Delete” on each phone if you want to ensure photos aren’t deleted on the source phone if the destination deletes it (or not).

I sync stuff to a PC at home, so phones don’t have to be on at the same time - they’ll always sync to the home PC.

Hahahaha, dammit, I admit that’s funny

Ah, yea, that seems more like something that wasn’t intended for breaks.

Definitely disruptive.

Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.

I think the prison angle in this film wasn’t the main premise. Just how a technology was used.

There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could…do something to your brain.

Uggh, wish I could remember more.

Similar style, but that was a mini-series (for lack of a better description).

This was a movie (IIRC), and she was held in a prison in her mind (so she thought), I can’t remember the details. Futuristic, but not very far into the future.
