One quick bit of pedantry, I am pretty sure you mean “prize” not “price” throughout the entire post.

True. Maybe ‘9 of 10 participants’.

The women are unlikely to think so.

It’s like the reverse of the well known statistic that nine out of ten people approve of gang rape.

They are on the porn side at least. Well, trying to.

I imagine it’s like OF where the market is saturated and only the top few percent of sellers are making any money on it, but with even less to make any particular seller stand out.

Baby don’t hurt me

Empirically it would seem that India is the most popular choice, followed very closely by China.

Amusingly, I think those are two of the places with a high percentage of belief in reincarnation.

I’ve never liked this explanation because if that was all there was to it, it would still only localize to a slanted line in front of us.

Say for example the right ear is higher (I tried finding which one normally is, but couldn’t find a good answer) in this case it would not be feasible without other clues to tell the difference between a sound being higher up and slightly to the left, or lower and slightly to the right. It’s not a significantly different situation from the ears being the same height.

In reality there are other clues, largely based on the shape of our ears slightly changing the sound in learned ways based on the angle it comes from.

I agree and think this a good shower thought, and also don’t see it as a bad thing in general.

I’ve always thought that conceptually, background music is really strange - because of course it’s Not part of the universe being shown to us (with partial exceptions like Guardians of the Galaxy) but is an added layer that only the audience experiences, and doesn’t have a real-life counterpart.
Technically I suppose the same is true for something like subtitles, but those are more directly meta (they are clearly part of the mechanism of presentation rather than being presented as part of the show like music kind of is)

But that doesn’t mean I think it shouldn’t be there (Nor do I think OP said so) - it’s just a weird thing we all accept as normal because it Does enhance the experience (usually)

So do I, but it’s close* to 20 years old and has never had driver issues. Back then HP was one of the more supported OEMs for Linux printing.

*Edit: I pulled up the cover and it turns out it will be exactly 20 years old in 3 days.

I didn’t see anything about port knocking there, it rather looks like it has the opposite focus - a quote from that page is “features that support widespread scanning of many machines are supported, while in-depth scanning of single machines aren’t.”

Whatever that is, I’d assume it’s a bad idea to drink it.

There used to be pornlemmy but it died (and was too restrictive in my opinion)

I don’t know why not the one you named, as far as I know it’s the only remaining general porn instance. There’s just a few scattered communities on other general instances, and there are specialty instances like your own.

There’s also a bit on Mastodon but mostly reposting from reddit.

I’m really surprised at the consistency. I haven’t kept up, so I don’t know how anything works now, but I’m used to all the little details changing each time (instead of only a couple at most like here)

querying raises the “sea-level,” and contributing lowers it, encouraging collaboration. When the sea-level goes over a certain level, posting queries is blocked

Yeah, this seems to assume that the set of people able and willing to make contributions overlaps the set interested in simply asking questions, and I can’t imagine that working. You know the rule that in any community 90% just lurk, 9% comment, and maybe 1% actually contribute. For everyone but the 1%, I foresee querying until they hit the limit, then they leave.

This might be somewhat mitigated by it being a very technical system to begin with, so even being interested in queries is a barrier.

I found out about it just by searching for sleep apnea surgery or some such. Then I got a referral for a sleep study I think and from there a referral to the particular doctor who evaluated me and later did the surgery.

The way it works is stimulating a nerve that triggers a muscle that moves my tongue forward, and it does so once every few seconds (meant to match my breaths I think).

The remote is used to turn it on (with a delay so I fall asleep before it actually starts), delay it if I wake up in the night, and turn it off in the morning. Also controls the intensity which has to be enough to work but not wake me up.

I have one much like this (in the US) which is a different brand. It’s not app controlled, I have a remote that uses induction to talk to the implant (but not charge it as far as I can tell, it’s just a ten year permanent battery)

CPAP didn’t work well for me and this seems to help. My implant’s brand is ‘Inspire’ which is a breathing pun. (Synonym of inhale) But of course this is not medical advice, talk to your doc, etc.

That’s odd. At my local pool they very definitely are in the water with us more often than not during lessons. How else can they demonstrate techniques, and watch us closely to see what we are doing wrong?

There is one exception I’ve noted - the coaches of swim teams seem to mostly stand at the front or back of the section their team is using. I’m not sure what that’s about, since I’ve never been on a team like that. But I can guess it has to do with seeing everyone at once.

Oh yeah, my family name isn’t that rare, but it’s also probably going away locally when I do. I don’t mind though, it’s an ugly name anyway. My wife didn’t take it, her’s is much nicer.

I probably still missed some.
