  • Started last year and donated twice so far. The first time I got dizzy, so I did a half bag the next time and felt better. Felt better the second time, even after a long day at work.

    No specific reason other than feeling good about yourself and reap any health benefit to it, if at all. Surely it must be good somehow to stimulate blood creation ? I’m happy to do it, I feel a better person for it.

    You are weak the day and the next day, so better not plan any long hike or strenuous activities. But it’s okay for another long day in office.


  • I feel you bro: switching gaming headset to regular HDMI output is a pain in the ass every time.

    More details: I have nari ultimate headset, with 2 channels, one for chat, one for games. I only use it TI game with friends, rest of the time I use HDMI regular output. I use discord on Firefox.

    Here it comes: im watching YouTube with the HDMI output. Then, gaming time, log on discord (web) in Firefox, turn on headset. Wrong ! My friends can hear me, but I can’t. No matter what I click in this applet that you screenshoted, Firefox always defaults to the HDMI output. The workaround: I need to turn on headset first, then open firefox. Then it works.

    So it’s like firefox doesn’t know that the headset is on. Like it cannot detect it, or doesn’t process the notification or something. Maybe wrong dbus message ?

    It takes guts and strength. In the mass of population, this is found in people who have nothing to lose. Today, you always have something to lose. It’s called comfort. If you don’t have comfort, someone’s pressuring you in one way or another, and you don’t have strength to rebel. You can’t. Literally.

    If you have comfort, why would you rebel at all.

    Then, anything goes, no matter how offended you are.

    The stupidest win because of fear. They are not inherently stupid, they just make the stupid choice. Making a stupid choice doesn’t make you stupid forever (except in the US).











  • I’m also confused by the translation of the French idiom.

    But then I’m also confused by the idiom itself: I think initially it’s “j’m’en branle”, “I’m wanking off of it”.

    Then the hit my balls part should be similar to “beat your meat”.

    Hence my proposed translation: I’m beating my balls off of it.

    And yes it’s quite rude language in French too, that I’m sure!

    But… There’s more !

    Like many foul language in French, it can be decorated and escalated, even if it deteriorates the meaning. For the same idiom, some variations specify what you’re using to beat your balls: With a tart server: j’m’en bats les couilles avec une pelle à tarte With a french window: j’m’en bats les couilles avec une porte fenêtre

    If you’re the proud owner of a vagina you would instead say: “j’m’en bats les steaks”. Steak is the same English word but here it refers to your labia. Then I guess the same variations as above can be applied.




  • I have debian stable with xfce on a 2014 laptop. Increasing the fonts size and using KDE connect for remote on the phone to control the whole thing. Works smoothly for video and internet, just what I need.

    It’s tedious when you need to run terminal commands so I have an SSH server running there too.

    For gaming maybe you want to consider moonlight utility, to stream steam games from your gaming PC to your TV PC. It’s decent for most games but forget competitive shooters.
