Maybe if Russia wasn’t in Crimea, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting bombed?
Crazy idea
We have an article by Kaspersky Labs about why Kaspersky Labs’ software is just fine and totally not used as a back door by the Russian government.
Was the Kremlin spokesperson not available?
Those are a fantastic value for the money.
They let you tickle your girlfriend at the office? That’s pretty progressive!
Right. Do they have a manager assigning them work? And then after a couple of weeks of mouse-juggling, no assignments done.
It sounds like poor management, too, aside from the mouse-jiggling.
Show me 12 guys that experience something absolutely world changing, and none of them write anything about it for decades and then tell me they were factually motivated
Literacy and writing were uncommon then, though.
PeerTube could use some love.
Pixelfed is pretty damn easy.
OK - this is going to be a crazy suggestion. Do you have any storytelling or entertainer chops? How do you feel in front of small audiences?
I am a part-time magician. (Thus my user name.) I started at about age 40, with a minor interest in magic, which grew over time until I started going pro. It hasn’t supplanted my regular job, but I currently get as much work as I can handle, and then some.
I joined a local club, the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM), but there are other groups: Society of American Magicians, Fellowship of Christian Magicians, and others. They are all over the world and in most major cities, holding local meetings.
You can become a strolling magician with a small repertoire of solid close-up tricks. I literally took one of my first close-up tricks out of the Mark Wilson’s Course of Magic - a beginner’s book. But most beginner’s magic books have a couple or more of hidden gems in there that are powerful stuff. There are absolutely amazing tricks that require no sleight-of-hand whatsoever. You can launch a complete career out of a beginner’s book. I use some in my own pro repertoire. Note that, magic is about 95% storytelling skill and acting, and only about 5% special effects.
After probably not enough preparation on my part, a friend asked me if I wanted to do walk-around magic at an after-prom party for a little money. That started me off. After that, I developed a few more tricks for a stage/parlor act. About 3-7 tricks can make a parlor act, depending how good you are at the communication/acting stuff. I’ve seen magicians entertain with one trick for 20-30 minutes, and it works.
Here is a step-by-step plan for an entertainer part-time-pro career path:
I can give more details if anyone is interested. AMA.
Edit to add: I don’t know to what degree your kid has autism, but I’m come across an autistic fellow that became a magician, and uses his autism in his act. He uses magic to bring autism awareness. He’s a heckuva nice guy, too. Check out magician Cody Clark in the Louisville, Kentucky area - from the same magic club that Mac King and Lance Burton came from! Cody tours nationally.
You are not even answering the questions that you are being asked!
How much can I pay for this service, and can you make it a subscription?
What if I were to buy back all my own DVDs and watch them? Would I need to voluntarily show myself ads later?
I’m four-twenties-ten-nine percent sure that French counting is not confusing
Sorry, no. Not that cool. Just some other boring Wiz.
My memories of the early Internet were a little earlier. I hope this is ok hearing from a geezer. My first memories of the Internet were from the late 1980s as a young university student. I somehow managed to score a Unix account on the mainframe.
Email, and sending & receiving to Listserves. I kept hoping my girlfriend at a different university could get connected, but it never came to be.
Comedy by email through The Internet Oracle. I was one of the “priests” (editors) of the service for a while. Basically you would send an anonymous email (!!!) to the service that would be sent out to people, and your get a random question out of it, to answer in a humorous manner.
I remember the incredible mind-blowing feeling when I first discovered Internet Relay Chat in about 1988. It was an all text interface, pre-windowed environment.
I still miss Usenet forums.
Nutella on a salty cracker, like a saltine. Careful, you can eat half a jar this way!
Yes, but glue is the surprisingly tasty ingredient on pizza too keep your toppings from falling off.
Just be sure to use non-toxic glue, because the other kind tastes terrible.
For a grad school project last year, I proposed a Fediverse version of LinkedIn, with the ability to find and hire people for projects.
It’s just in the proposition stage, but I got pretty excited about it. If allowed the opportunity, I might work on it as my capstone project early next year.
They shouldn’t have driven near the exploding spatulas.
