Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard

you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.

I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor’s yard.

Looks like using   worked.

I wonder if they tried to do it using non-breaking spaces.

I knew I’d heard of a site that did this already. Couldn’t remember the name, though. Thanks!

People can usually unlock the carrier on their own. Many phones (or at least every phone I’ve ever gotten from T-Mobile) even come pre-installed with a carrier unlocking app. It’s just not automatic, and certain conditions need to be met.

People may also sometimes be able to buy phones already unlocked directly from the manufacturer if they want to. (Whether or not they’re able to do this depends on the manufacturer.)

IRS: “Remember, you broke up with us.”

I’m just not ready…

I’m almost the same way. I’m not really feeling negative about it, though. I just feel nothing towards it, which is almost worse. Like you said, though… maybe some day. The interest is still there somewhat, just not nearly enough for me to act on it.

I watched 7, suffered through 8 and didn’t even care about watching 9.

I almost didn’t watch 9. Then a friend of mine who’d walked out of the theater while watching 8 told me 9 was actually good. So I took his word for it. Episode 9 was okay. Not good or bad. Felt like they were trying to cram two movies into one. But, without getting into spoilers, compared to 8, 9 was still okay.

My guess is it’s because it’s a similar role to a Reddit Admin, which is to say they’re basically a global moderator. Also, having access of any kind to the site’s SQL server requires an element of trust. That’s probably why they require the video interview.

For about a minute. Then they take it back.

So what you’re saying is we should start a reaction channel on YouTube?

Yeah, I genuinely enjoy CinemaWins.

Same with Th3Birdman’s “Everything Wrong With CinemaSins” series, where they sin CinemaSins’ sins.

Wait, he lives in Japan now?

having to sift through the site, fighting against the algorithm’s sorting to find something you like is hard.

This has been me since… sometime in 2019, I believe. At some point around then, there was a very noticeable change in the videos being suggested to me. I noticed it almost immediately.

Me with CinemaSins.

CinemaSins: nitpicks something

Me: “That’s literally answered five minutes from now in the movie.”

CinemaSins: nitpicks the thing that explained the thing they were nitpicking

Me: tears hair out in frustration

Not OP, but I feel like every time I come across a thread like this, someone is recommending a different version of Linux. It makes it really difficult to decide, and I can’t exactly just “try out” Linux on my computer the same way I could try out other programs.

Yes, I could install it on a thumb drive, but that’s not persistent, so I couldn’t try it out for more than a few hours. Takes longer than that to decide to completely switch OSes.

Unfortunately, all the other prices are high right now, too.

Only $30?

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought of that song. XD

My university used something called Lockdown Browser. It was free to download for students. On Windows (can’t remember if there was a Mac, and it definitely wasn’t available on Linux), it could only run after a UAC prompt. It used the webcam and microphone on a computer to record the student. It also used facial detection. I’m pretty sure it also recorded the screen, at least inside the browser window.

It also had options that instructors could enable that had us students have to record a video of our immediate surroundings and have to take a picture of a photo ID with our name and picture (preferably our student ID).

If you did the three-finger touchpad swipe (which I’ve done accidentally before) to change to a different window or minimize the program, it’d refocus itself immediately, a warning would pop up and tell you that, if it happened a second time, the exam would be closed and the instructor would be notified.

If it detected certain applications running (ex. Discord, WhatsApp, Xbox Game Bar, etc.), it would ask to force close them or it wouldn’t run.

Barring a situation in which cheating was possible (ex. the three-finger swipe mentioned above), the browser could not be closed until the exam was submitted.

If instructors chose to use Lockdown Browser, students wouldn’t be able to open the exam unless they were using that browser.

So it was still possible to cheat (not that I did, but I’d heard of people who did and how they did it), but still difficult.
