Milkdrop in winamp works fine. I’ve wired up Spotify to line in before to make winamp create a visualisation from it.

Needs background music, with a beat.

It does feel like all that wasted effort would be good to use for something productive. The energy used probably wouldn’t even heat the water for the showers though.

Maybe just charge people’s phones while the work out is better than nothing though.

It is. Taking from a service without paying for it, and actively avoiding the service making money via advertising is basically the same as watching a film without paying for it.

Both ways, you consumed a service and the people providing it got nothing, but it cost them something to create and provide it.

I heard a new one this year (or new to me anyway) which basically has the word “joy” over and over. Googling is failing me, as the word joy is used for pretty much anything Xmas related.

Anyway, as it was new, I don’t hate it yet.

Steak and ale

For added confusion we have pigs in blankets in the UK too, but it’s small sausages wrapped in bacon instead.

Why does this exist?

As an Englishman I don’t even know what they are, I’ve only ever heard them mentioned on US television

I have no lungs but I must scream

I too choose this guy’s dead wife

Rtf is far more lightweight than docx. It’s closer to markdown.

This is interesting to me. Drive through isn’t very popular in the UK, I think there’s a few KFCs and maybe McDonald’s/burger king.

But driving is such a pita I might as well cook or buy something from a supermarket if I’m going to do anything active.

Unless I’m on the way back home from a commute perhaps? I don’t really understand the business model. Also, what’s wrong with parking and walking in to get it? Leaving the engine running and crawling forwards to a window and then waiting anyway, I don’t get it.

Honestly in my younger years I had the time to hunt around for the right streams, rips, subtitle files etc, but it does take time and effort. For the price of a few sandwiches or a handful of coffees I don’t have to spend the time doing that anymore.

What’s annoying is that it’s not a single subscription anymore, it’s 4-5 subscriptions which really adds up over the month.

A lot of their constituency want the properties they own to go up in value. Or at least not down, which risks negative equity.

STAR. For every question try to give a situation, task, action and result which came from you personally. E.g. situation, someone was manually copying data from an online portal every month. As a task, you’re asked to write some code which scrapes an API, and you defined the task via docs and planned tests. Then as an action you worked on it for a few days, and the result was the company didn’t need to manually spend a few days per month doing it, freeing up people to do more exciting things.

It shows you understand the problem and know how to go about solving it in a professional way.

One man controlling access to a sizable percentage of the world’s internet access doesn’t solve much.
