The Last Battle (1983)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Dernier_Combat

"A scraggly, anonymous man (Pierre Jolivet) looks for love among a desolate, post-apocalyptic wasteland where almost no one speaks and roaming bands of marauders prey on the weak and unprotected. Assisted by a mad scientist (Jean Bouise), the man attempts to rebuild a broken-down airplane to expand his lonely, seemingly pointless search. At every turn the man is thwarted by well-armed, merciless thugs; however, hope rears its head he discovers one last surviving woman imprisoned by the toughs."

I like that question too. It's originally from a stand up comedian named Gallagher.

And how come we need to sleep?

And eat food?

And why not have wheels for feet?

And what would a chair look like if our knees bent the other way?

Singing, your throat becomes the instrument

Oh? I can confirm it's true for North America and China, at least.

Is it the middle one that gets debunked?

The fact that diamonds are on this list shows the insane power of relentless marketing combined with a monopoly to artificially jack up the price of something that would be almost worthless otherwise.

Start your own business, based on what you like to do AND on what some people around you need.

Become really good at it, and you will find people who will pay you to do it for them.

Do the best you can, and enjoy doing it, even if you don't get so much money at first.

Eventually, as your reputation grows, so will your income, but it doesn't really matter how long it takes because you are enjoying yourself already.

As we die, the question isn't "how much money I had?", but instead "how many of those days were worth living?"

I work on an irregular schedule, so I want to keep track to make sure I get enough sleep. It doesn't have to be super accurate, just a number of hours elapsed, to decide if I go back to sleep.

Satirical, but it's actually my plan b, until something automatically does it. So upvoted lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have tried a few but they all seem to be putting the priority on features I don't need, like recording the sounds while I sleep. I would just like a log of when I fall asleep and when I wake up.

EDIT: Here is my plan B, until I find an app: when I go to bed, I send a text message to myself. When I wake up, I do the same. It gets automatically time-stamped. Example:

"Ok Google, send a text saying Good Night to NemoWuming"

"Ok Google, send a text saying Good Morning to NemoWuming"

I have a desktop computer with displayport. I heard it was possible to connect 2 or even 3 monitors to it.

I heard not all displayport monitors can be chained like that. Which specifications do I need to look for?

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE. YOUR INFORMATION HAS PUT ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

I used to get it a few times a week. Now it's down to about 3 times in 10 years. In case this helps anyone, here is what I do:

  • I never sleep on my back anymore, only on my side
  • If I do roll on my back and if it does trigger it, I focus on moving my feet and toes, up and down and this will wake me up within a minute or less.
  • I informed the person sleeping next to me that if I become agitated or if I start moaning, they can wake me up simply by calling my name and saying "wake up, it's only a bad dream" a few times. I will wake up, feel thankful and peacefully go back to sleep, feeling safe and secure. Knowing that, the other person does the same.

A thousand thanks to the anonymous writer who shared this information years ago.

I study guitar as a hobby. When I practice, I often play a little ahead of the metronome click. I can see it when I record myself with GarageBand.

I have been trying to adjust, but can't seem to progress.

Is there a metronome app that would give me a strong visual clue when I am not exactly on the beat?

Why am I bothering with this?

I have heard musicians talking about making the metronome sound disappear by playing at the exact right time. I also noticed some people frowning when I play a split second before the click. Is it worth improving that aspect? Is there a better way to do it?

  • Edit for clarification: I am looking for an app that will call me out in real-time, either visually or audibly, whenever I play offbeat.

Does anyone know when the new season starts?

 

When I receive a Lemmy email notification on my phone, and I click on the link inside, it goes to the webpage in my browser, instead of opening in the CONNECT app. How do I reassign that? I'm using Google Pixel 7 with Android 13

I see pre-ordering a Pixel 8 Pro would get me a free Pixel Watch. A quick look makes me see they can be used with FitBit (which I don't use nor need).

For those of you who use those watches, what are the other features you enjoy the most? What has improved your daily routine? What would you miss if you lost the watch? Etc.

Thanks for any insights!

Does anyone here use it? What are your impressions? What are the advantages for you? Anyone tried it and then turned it off? What did you dislike about it?

Edit: This is found under Settings/Notifications (at the bottom of that list)
