I usually hate Christmas songs except for Carol of the Bells. That’s just an amazing song regardless of the Christmassy lyrics. It’s sad that most places that play Christmas songs don’t include it.

Thunder sees it as a link without a preview. Firefox on my phone sees the preview but it’s still a link. It probably looks ok on a pc.

How do you hike with three cats? Do they just roam around you?

ZeFrank. After a long gap in videos he’s back even better

Apparently Walmart has a location list here https://corporate.walmart.com/about/location-facts. It says it operates in 19 countries so there are many places that do not have Walmarts. Many of them probably don’t have other big stores either.

The same age that should get a childhood I guess

…or cars. But even if it’s safer that doesn’t mean kids are allowed outside more.

I think most parents do not want their kids to go alone outside

Do you think most kids do not want to be outside? This law has nothing to do with protecting them.

In Greek it’s putana and it means prostitute like in Spanish. Hijo de puta also exists in Greek with the same meaning but it’s not used as frequently and doesn’t have a female version.

Tea/infusions in all its possible shapes and forms. Except bottled ice tea, that’s not tea.

Yeah I wasn’t talking about the teenagers but about the bars themselves. The point is, it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, plenty of illegal things are treated the same way. It matters that it’s not taken seriously while it should.

URLCheck

One of the most useful apps on my phone. You set it as your default browser and any links open in that instead of in the default app. So before opening anything, it gives you a chance to see the url, remove tracking parameters (which it detects itself), unshort etc. and then open it in whatever app you want.

Similar thoughts definitely exist for other things that are not regularly enforced. There is a well known Facebook group in my city that tracks the location of ticket inspectors in public transport so you can avoid them. And bar owners in neighborhoods warn each other whenever there are checks for underage drinking or smoking inside because these laws are also rarely followed.

But I agree that if someone said similar things about health inspections it wouldn’t sit well with people. And it’s weird that something as dangerous as speeding or running red lights is not considered as important but rather as a minor thing.

Interesting how Google Translate returns brown-haired for both Brunhårig and Brun hårig while DeepL doesn’t but they both return brown-haired when provided with the whole phrase. Shows how trustworthy auto-translation is.

Honestly even when it’s translated by a human you can usually tell it’s a translation. I try not to read translations, it’s just not the same.

Favorite albums that came out this year
Malicia - Mägo de Oz - Favorite song: El último rezo. There is a website about this album somewhere with a story formed by the songs but each song stands fine by itself too.
Puertas - El Cuarteto de Nos - Favorite song: En el cuarto de Nico. Some interesting lyrics here.

Favorite rediscovered song
The Last Stand - Sabaton - This feels pretty random cause I don’t even remember where I came across it, just started listening to it at some point this year. Perfect for waking you up when you’re feeling down.

Well shit, it had me convinced. I don’t remember what the argument was about so can’t really find the post to verify.

I saw a comment recently that answered with “would a bot do this?” with a photo of a post-it note saying Not a bot :). Was kinda cute
