So that’s why it’s called boxing day

Spirited Away. In my opinion the most Miyazaki movie. It’s also just amazing. I’ve probably seen it a dozen times now.

The baby scene was a little weird but otherwise great movie

Ah that makes sense. I don’t have kids though.

My vacation ends tomorrow but I’m actually relieved. Not sure if that’s weird.

It’s not safe for cars to be totally silent when moving imo since I’d imagine it’s more likely to get run over.

I wish there were TBs of porn of what I was into.

Apparently the AI in AoE2: DE does not cheat. They did in the original though.

I’m relatively young and it can still be difficult to hear them especially the ones without a fake engine sound. Add some city noise and they can be completely inaudible.

Oh it’s really easy to fingerprint a device on Android so I’m 99% sure they are fingerprinting you in one way or another. But this seems to be an overly complicated way of doing it. It does really just seem like an unintentional design flaw.

I think you might have misread the article (or maybe I have?). I think the article is saying that other people (a 3rd party that is not Meta) can use some metadata clues to puzzle out which OS a user is using WhatsApp from. The article then says this is bad because an attack can target specific OSes or tailor their attack to the user’s OS. Eg. Hacker has an evil link that abuses an exploit on Android only. They can figure out who is signed into WhatsApp on android and only send those people the evil link.

I was born at an unfortunate time. By the time I could afford a house the housing market was already very bad. I’m just glad I’m able to buy a house but it is very expensive (we bought at the end of 2021)

I live in Canada so we can’t lock in our mortgage for more than 5 years. I just went with the variable rate because in the long term it’s generally better. However the interest rates skyrocketed. I was able to pay my mortgage still but I was pretty much house poor.

Now the rates are finally dropping so I feel a lot less pressure. With our current budget we should be able to afford one kid comfortably. I’m not sure about a second.

I’m very fortunate and grateful though. Most people my generation cannot even afford a house. It’s just insane that despite my great job it’s still so hard for us I can’t imagine what others are going through.

We aren’t broke. I have some retirement saved but I had to stop putting money in due to our mortgage. I also have an emergency funds account with enough money to sustain us ~6 months if I were to lose my job.

Having a high paying job is unsurprisingly the main reason for my financial success. Otherwise I’d say joining some personal finance clubs helped a bunch. I have my savings diversified and invested so I’m at least not losing money to inflation. But my investments will never make me rich either.

One critique I have for myself is maybe we overspent on the house but at the same time I love our neighborhood and I love our house and we have no plans on ever moving so I’m not too upset by it.

Yeah being able to afford 5 kids is insane to me.

The Java edition of Minecraft is also pretty good for having no microtransactions.

Ohhh I see. Israel is just helping Gaza demolish their old and aging builds so they can build newer, better ones! /s

Oh so a one time pad

but he also swaps to the opinion of the person who last spoke to him

Oh so he’s my husband /s

Yeah but like everything in life, it’s a trade off. Most people cannot maintain their own home surveillance system without the help of a company like Amazon or Google. These people have to decide between no security cameras or security cameras with caveats. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize people who choose the latter. The unfortunate truth is maintaining a security system that works well is very difficult, time consuming and can be unreliable. Even most of the tech savvy people I know just end up paying a company like Amazon to do it.

No injuries were reported

Phew. That’s a relief.

no way bro, I love paying for YouTube why you gotta have everything for free bro?
