I second this. DDG, Searxng and various LLM are my daily drivers depending on the queries. I don't recognise DDG being bloated with ads like Google. I have adblockers but I put sites like DDG on the whitelist because hey support the good guys.
Is it topical? Regional? Does OP have malware that is transforming the browser document? Is OP searching for niche content and confusing singular domain results for ads? Has DDG shifted owners and doing some tests?
I would like to know more.
Just a friendly reminder for anybody confused that there has been no pet eating by scary pigmenterad people. It was all make believe pulled from floppy racist arses.
In the American mindset, their own wars are fought by the poor people and in faraway countries. Both unrelatable on a personal level, both expendable for political rhetoric and engaging news entertainment.
I enjoy the 1900s Avant Garde and experimental music.
Then again I'm also not joyful but abstract and dense.
I think it looks nice with a subtle retro feel to it. Not sure why but the rounded E are part.

Had that issue when trying to use the app of one of the major package delivery services. Can't register email because it is in use. Can't login because password is not correct. Can't reset the password because I get a weird error message. My credentials worked for some other part of their services but not here. Tried to contact support about it twice but got no response so I ditched using it. I'll survive getting email and SMS notifications, thank you. If I need to send something I'll just use one of the other services instead. The old dinosaurs of delivery services are so far behind in technology and user experience it's crazy but they rely on competing in b2b so it doesn't matter to them.
Because what monster of a henchperson would not hang the frame back up after checking it out.
These are valid points. But still, I think there is little point in repeating templates just because making something worthwhile is challenging. Especially in art of any kind. I mean, it's been a mantra since mid last century at least that everything is done and yet artists of every discipline keep pushing the envelope to achieve something original.
Wardrobes and sets that look like 1980s magazines and catalogues but not like 1980s real life, palette with deep blacks and super saturated accents, post processing as if shot on film with optical lens effects and distributed on magnetic video tape though obviously shot and edited one hundred percent digital, modern synthwave heavy soundtrack, titles in red text on black background... You know the entire package. It's starting to feel lazy. For some reason it seems to be the aspiring young directors first feature length flick for the last few years or so. Damn I'd be more impressed by retro theming be the 90s or 00s that should be these directors genuine era of nostalgia.
I use CTRL-A locally on my computers and CTRL-B on servers. Keeps it easy and consistent to switch between windows and tasks.
I plonk bass and klink keyboard. I'm shite at both but it doesn't matter. It's just for fun because I need sorta meaningful things to entertain myself.
I live in an apartment so I'm playing with headphones. I've got the Nux Mighty Plug that sounds all right but the lag on Bluetooth audio is very frustrating. Playing along by ear is ok though annoying with the lag but it is literally impossible for watching video tutorials or play along to tabs.
I'm considering the Mooer S800 electric guitar with built in effects, amp sim and headphone amp with Bluetooth and hopefully not the lag. The idea is to be able to simply pick it up and shred away when the cosmic vibes align and then put it away again. No cumbersome setup or necessary clean up that kills the momentum.
I think €400 seems to be a fair price for the instrument considering it's all included to get started.
Should I consider other options?
Nog för att det är semestertider, men jag vill nog ha en fast lunch ändå.
(Jag brukar steka ägg så har inte koktiden i huvudet.)
Alltså, du tar nog det lite för bokstavligt. Att de ska belöna dig är säljsnack. Om du inte hade varit kund sedan tidigare så är det ett välkomsterbjudande.
Sedan har det ju varit standard de senaste 30 åren eller så att man köper ett abonnemang med ny telefon rabatterat eller på köpet mot bindningstid på ett-två år. Jag vet inte hur du kunnat missa det.
Speaking of thought experiments, I just [lost the game](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game\)). Thanks, OP.
I don't think many tourists would head out to the far away suburbs by subway. My recommendation is to avoid Drottninggatan and "City" with the exception of some architecture or particular places of interest because it is just really too much busy people and pickpockets and hot asphalt and concrete and glass and tourist traps and chain stores.
"Do no harm to the stockholders" would be the contemporary take.
Indeed. While you were learning how to reverse the car I was studying how to reverse the time.
Same here. I grew up in a big city, moved around to different big cities, always been on foot, biking or communal traffic. Never felt the need for a car. I'm in the upper middle ages now so I doubt it's going to change.
The irresponsible pitbull owners mindset right there.
I started it in early march with the idea that I wanted a dry but fresh and somewhat complex wine for summer. I infused some oak chips with rum, but only had them in for a week something early on with the hope that the harshness would dissipate with gases and what is left behind becomes subtly integrated in the wine. I was going for notes and slight tannins as opposed to the super dry that was my autumn wine.
While fermenting it was about 19-21°C in the room with a cold draft by the floor that probably made it more like 16-18°C down there. I didn't think of picking a yeast ahead so I went with the generic one that came in the box.
It's been a very interesting ride in this relatively short period of time. The fermentation was very slow, as expected by the temperature and draft. It stopped bubbling but had plenty of sugar left in it so I racked it to oxygenate, added yeast nutrients and kept swirling it gently daily until I got it going again.
Last taste was a month ago and it was not good, hoping it would mature after bottling and otherwise make it a learning experience. Today, much to my surprise, it is young but damn delicious already. Great taste, great mouthfeel. Tannins but not overly so, hints of vanilla, oak and rum. Easy to drink and yet some interesting flavours to explore. It's all I was hoping for.
But now I have a new problem. While bottling it, I accidentally overfilled some bottles that I balanced into a glass, and then clumsy me spilled the last splash from the vessel into the glass too.
Now I'm sitting outside on a lovely warm and sunny Sunday afternoon, glass in hand, the wine is oxidized and can not be returned to the batch. I'm not sure what to do about it. Please advice.
I ordered a cheap chinese optical refractometer from Amazon to use for convenience instead of a traditional hydrometer. It seemed accurate enough after calibration, I don't expect magic or lab results. Ballpark is fine by me.
I got suspicious when my cider and wine have kept stopping at 1.020-1.025 and nothing I whatever I tried would only make them bubble for another few days and reduce a couple of degrees Oe. So I did a reading with my hydrometer to verify. Yep, the SG for the cider ~1.000 and with the wine in negatives.
Checking out the refractometer it says it is for beer.
Is there a difference for wine and beer refractometers? Is is this refractometer, cheap chinese ones in general or is it me?
Cheers
Edit: twas me

Yes, it's the 1990s.
I've seen enough of the internets to know this is a must have. Damn, if I was in America this would be a business idea in itself.
Edit: If you nick this idea and make it your business - YOU'RE WELCOME! I only ask kindly of you send a yearly donation to Doctors Without Borders or some similar organisation.
I was having a bad stressful dream like I often do. But then I realized I was just dreaming and that I don't want to dream this shite. So then I dreamed something else.
That was nice.

How much difference does different yeast strains really make? Is it perceptible like what kind of apples you used or is it delicate nuances when doing a blind tasting?
Tecknet för grader (°). Det finns ju inte. Man får antingen slå in ALT+teckenkod på numeriskt tangentbord eller söka på tecknet och kattenpejsta om man sitter på laptop. Det är ju ändå ett tecken som används i det svenska språket varje gång man talar om temperatur eller vinklar.
Mitt förslag är RALT + apostrof/asterisk ('*), alltså tangenten till vänster om enter. Annars är RALT + 6 eller RALT + paragraf (§) också outnyttjade.
Nu har jag fixat till det för egen del i Windows med AutoHotkey (>!'::°), men det vore faktiskt användbart om det blev standardiserat.
Är detta möjligt att föreslå någonstans och det faktiskt skulle kunna bli av?
BUMPSIES: Update and discussion on bitters/aperitif in comments
This particular little wine was supposed to have the fruits in it for ten days. I forgot all about it over Christmas stress so the fruit has been soaking for over a month. I racked it today and boy does it have an aftertaste of the zest. Do you think it can be recovered? Will the zesty bitterness reduce from aging? Or can I do something else about it?
