Turkey is also in Europe. Partly.

They want to be able to train AIs on everything without any constraint. So they get to make large amounts of money of other people’s work, while the people actually creating original songs and stories get nothing.

Dorsey left BS a while ago.

There’s a reason the Fediverse runs on Hetzner - it is difficult to find a solid service at a lower price.

5.2m? I suspect we’d need a server upgrade or three.

Hetzner?

And to keep things joined up: !PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world

It makes it trickier and you won’t know which urn is hers.

Good luck with that - her urn is on my safe.

Apparently, they are considering going open source.

That’s the EU not Europe.

It depends on the severity.

• If you are touching cloth, then it is a shart and should be relatively well contained. You just need to clean-up and perhaps discreetly dispose of your undercrackers.
• If you are touching socks, then the world has dropped out of your bottom and is pretty disastrous as everything is contaminated. You also have a larger problem as this would suggest you have food poisoning or some kind of illness and this is just the start of your problems. When I was in hospital the guy opposite me got C. difficile and the result was unexpected and borderline volcanic - that wasn’t just a bad day, it was a bad week.

My folks were great and I miss them a lot.

I’m a big fan of the Hong Kong New Wave in cinema. It’s also a handy entrance to wider Chinese films - if you like a director or actor or type of film, there are a lot more to find if you start digging.

Go and see your GP. It wasn’t a heart attack but it was a wake up call and I don’t think jumping to seeing a cardiologist will be that helpful, although a GP can refer you on if they think you need it.

I was in the foothills of heart health problems - high BP, cholesterol creeping up, etc. and the health staff were starting to express concern (suggesting I might need to go on statins). So I turned it around in two years and at my last health check my weight and bloods were all “perfect” according to the nurse. So it is doable.

However, from what you say, mental health issues may be holding you back and making important and sweeping changes to your lifestyle require effort and focus. So the GP may want to get this addressed while starting to monitor your health through regular checks. I found the checks motivating in themselves as the data can really prod you into action because you no longer can say you are probably unhealthy - it is there in stark numbers. I also suspect I was slightly gamifying it as I made beating the numbers a focus and figuring out what I needed to do to adjust each on (as lowering triglyceride levels requires different action to lowering LDL, bad cholesterol). I even made a spreadsheet.

Most people have good qualities that make them attractive (if you have none then that might be something to work on). Just treat women like they are ordinary human beings (which they are) - ask questions, listen to the answers, check back with them at a later date to see if that thing they mentioned worked out, offer to help if they have a problem, etc.

Luckily, I am perfectly aware I’m old, so this hasn’t come as a shock.

great shout actually as I feel reassured that I’m mostly spending in the EU by shopping own brands in Lidl.

Ah, I specifically mentioned Aldi for a reason. Another poster gave a breakdown of Lidl’s other activity and they are best avoided.
