I'm not a Bing fan either because it used to be regurgitated Google results. For now I'm just self-hosting an instance of SearXNG.
Copilot is pretty good for Azure stuff though, really I just like it because it always has links back to Microsoft's documentation (even though it's constantly changing).
I used to use it... I thought it would take you straight to the first result (but it's been a long time since I used it)... Now all the top results are hot garbage.
I'd still take one for most stuff. 70MPH is the maximum speed permitted on the majority of the US interstate system, most US highways were limited to 55 until relatively recently (at least in along the East coast).
Cherry Rootbeer tastes a lot like Dr Pepper to me... When we would run out at the store I worked at out of high school I'd just get Barq's and add a bit of cherry flavor from our defunct Icee ripoff machine.
Do you signal before you observe what may or may not be where you are wanting to go? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I don't signal until I've observed where I'm going and determined if it can be done safely. People driving for miles with their turn signal on make me worried (you can never tell if they are planning to go now, later, after their invited, or if they just forgot it was on).
I'm okay with servers being shut down eventually, my issue is we don't know when. If they want to call it a license and that it will be revoked later, well fucking plan it out and tell people. Did the game get cheaper as the clock ran down? Did the people buying 10 years of access pay more than people that only got to play it once? I'm pissed for the people like me that sometimes take a few years to get to playing their games only to find the servers are gone and they thought they were buying something (or at least licensing something) they would get to use.
Of course they would probably find that if they told people how long they could use it, a lot of people wouldn't pay them for it (i.e. their business would fail without intentionally deceiving their customers).
Throw in a dash of track-me-not (https://www.trackmenot.io/) and maybe they'll start ignoring your search queries too! Worst case my actual searches are so buried in the bs deciding what to market would be easier from my screen-name.
I've been using vinegar for this for most of my life but have never added salt. Does that speed it up, or help in some other way?
I used Kodi for years (back before and during the XMBC - > Kodi shift) before moving to Plex, it was great (a pain for a good config, but once your clients have remote access and use a shared database its insane how good it can be) but Plex was touted for so long I figured I'd give it a try when I saw a good sale. I've been using it for the past 8 years or so but may go back to Kodi or Jellyfin.
Short simple scripts can handle key presses, you can even add a little logic to ensure it doesn't follow the same pattern and give you a workday countdown to boot.
I was a fan of leaving the orientation normal, but moving the start bar and setting it to auto-hide. A long time ago I put a simple bat file (like "shutdown -l -t 0" or similar) in a coworkers startup folder... I guess that was a step too far though and he thought I broke his computer. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Great work and keep at it, shooting can be a really fun way to relax and clear your head!
Some unsolicited advice though (if you want it). If you have a rod for cleaning your barrel, an old trick from basic was to get into a prone position with the rifle unloaded and insert the rod into the end of the barrel. Practice balancing a small coin on the rod while you aim and dry fire. Focus on pulling the trigger with the pad of your finger and pulling solidly enough to fire, but controlled enough to not shift the end of your barrel. It really helps with your left-right spread.
