That’s really nuts to me when I run into it in the wild. It’s so easy and such a qol upgrade. I know a guy who self hosts a bunch of services, programming job, but does not use any ad block at all. He’s on the computer all day. Just looking at ads.

I use it on ff mobile through a tampermonkey script
But a trifold phone is way cooler than a laptop so of course it costs more.
South America has the equivalent level of technology to wherever you come from so no. You wouldn’t be different enough to change any civilizational paradigms. For a less strawmanny example, if you moved to another country tomorrow and revealed the secrets to clean, unlimited power and used techniques and methods to do so that were far outside of our current understanding of physics then maybe you would be.
Yes, if those people are technologically so advanced as to be indistinguishable from wizards. In Graham Hancocks mythology, these people brought the secrets of agriculture and advanced maths to indigenous peoples around the world. A lot of his evidence for this comes from ancient religious texts and artifacts. So, if these people are so advanced that they are worshiped by the natives I think it’s fair to say he is describing a super race.
The survivors of the cataclysm that brought their advanced knowledge to the ancient peoples is the super race.
I keep my dropouts free ebooks in Dropbox and use moonreader + to read them and sync across devices. Until I lost my library in a hdd failure I had 10k books self hosted with calibre and that was straight forward and worked well. I do also use Google Books for things I buy and like it although it lacks some QoL features of moonreader
I use libby and have three cards. My county library, my city and a city I used to live in. Between those three I almost constantly have new books to read. I’ve read 19 book so far this year. All of them new release literary fiction and 16 of them through libby. With the right card it is really good. I went from dling 10 books a month to 1 a month so far this year.
I have a Prana zip up hood that I’ve had for like 3 years. Moderate use. Looks good still after a decent amount of wear but I don’t really wash it much so I don’t know about color fading from that.
Some The Pagmaster vibes. Very nice.
Thanks for the update. I am looking forward to instance blocking!
Learning to play the piano causes complex changes in brain activity that shift over time. Initially, areas of the brain associated with memory, integrating sensory information and processing movement become highly activated, but this lessens as learners become more musically proficient.
Previous studies have looked into the reorganisation of someone’s brain activity while they are playing an instrument, but these have generally been short and based on only one scan.
To learn more about this process, Alicja Olszewska at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology in Poland and her colleagues studied 24 people as they learned to play the piano over 26 weeks. This involved a teacher showing them basic techniques, as well as coaching them through eight increasingly complex pieces of music, during 13 45-minute classes. The participants were also encouraged to practise at home for 4 hours a week.

We may finally know how cognitive reserve protects against Alzheimer’s
After one, six, 13 and 26 weeks of training, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan the participants’ brains as they attempted to play the increasingly complex pieces.
The scans showed that playing the piano activates multiple areas across the brain, including the auditory cortices that are involved in processing sounds and the motor cortices involved in planning and executing movements.
Over the 26 weeks, activity changed little in the auditory cortices, but it generally decreased in the motor cortices. A reduction in brain activity represents its optimisation, which would be expected as the participants’ piano-playing skills progressed, says Olszewska.
The scans also revealed that learning to play the piano initially activates other areas of the brain, including the cerebellum, which coordinates movement, and parts of the parietal cortex, which integrate different types of sensory information. The researchers also found increased activation in the hippocampus, involved in memory, and the basal ganglia, a set of deep brain structures involved in initiating and controlling voluntary movements.
Activity in these areas similarly decreased as the participants’ training progressed. This suggests their underlying neural processes became increasingly optimised alongside improvements in their musical proficiency, says Olszewska.
There are several different ideas about how learning an instrument changes brain activity. According to the “expansion and renormalisation” concept, such training causes grey matter volume to first increase and then decrease as musical proficiency improves. Another explanation states that separate neural pathways that process information side-by-side contribute to people simultaneously learning the right order of the movements required when playing an instrument, along with their timing, speed and force.

I use Fen with no problems as my backup when stremio isn’t working or if I want to watch a legit HD 30gb movie
Thanks, I ended up doing a version of this. Nextpvr when set up correctly handled everything well. The end result to the original query is there is no free epgs out there that work, Xmltv is the best to generate epgs, and that I lose sight of problems and get obsessed with solutions.
If I don’t find anything free that does look like the best option.
Thanks for the clarification. That makes so much more sense than the picture. Although, I do like the painting and artistic license is important and necessary. A painting of Byron swimming while one guy watches the help load a badly decomposed body into a furnace could also by good. Maybe a job for AI
Yeah, and these guys definitely had bricks and even ceramics. They were just being dramatic. On brand
It’s going to take a while to cremate open air with just wood. Using tires and diesel over wood it still takes most of a day.
