I've found them to be pretty clear usually. Half-formed words at start/end I just ignore. Either way, even on Firefox with uBlock and all the rest, audio captchas have always passed me first try even if I think I got it wrong. I don't like posting about it in-case they tighten it up after it gets more users.

Sad that this XKCD from 2011 is still just as accurate today...

Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.

They're called Lego pieces or just "Lego", not "Legos". It is the official way to say it, but more importantly I got used to it while growing up. I would always say "Lego ___", for instance Lego sets, Lego bricks, Lego pieces: "Pass me the Lego brick." The only time I would say "Lego" is as a group: "Bring the Lego upstairs." Everytime I hear "Legos" my eye twitches because it sounds so wrong. Not sure where I picked this up but I will die on this hill.

I propose we replace the word entirely to something easier to spell and pronounce, such as "Feby".

Ah okay, thanks for the insight!

Their hubris is ironic.

From what I've heard the Snapdragon chips aren't that impressive though?

He could also have had the weekend sickness. Happened a couple times with me now that I get sick Friday eve and am recovered 80-90% for Monday. Swear my body holds out on purpose so that I don't get a day off.

They're probably on Mastodon. I don't know if you can remove reply mentions on there (I don't use it).

 

Description from original poster:

Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.

My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.

If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.

Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!

 

I use the location tracking of Google Maps/Google Timeline constantly for work, and it's exceedingly helpful to know when I was at certain cities, buildings, etcetera. Of course, this means I'm basically signing my soul away to Google. But I can't really find any alternative location tracking apps, even though I would have thought there would be lots available. Are there any good alternatives out there?

The closest I found was Owntracks, but it doesn't work for me for a couple of reasons. Primarily, it doesn't tell me the places I've been, only the latitude/longitude. That isn't helpful. I want to know I was at X or Y convenience store and when my last visit was. Secondly of course, the interface was extremely lacking and I didn't like that it was split across two websites and an app. Why even have a map in the Android app if it doesn't show my location data??

 

Title, basically. I know I have issues, but I couldn't say if it's depression, ADD, or just general problems. Is the only reason to have a diagnosis so you know what to work on, or are there other benefits such as easier access to therapy?

My question is meant specifically for Canada, but feel free to chip in from other countries. :)

According to the home owner:

We live on a 90* corner intersection with a major street and this guy flew around it at probably 40-50mph. Hit my neighbors car so hard it ended up in their yard facing the other way. Both cars totaled, driver ran off on foot. 11 AM on a Sunday morning.

And the aftermath:
