It can seem a bit silly to recommend a way to tie your shoes, but some knots are just more secure than others. For decades I have favored two specific shoelace knots: Ian’s Fast Knot and Ian’s Secure Shoelace Knot. Ian’s Fast Knot is done so effortlessly as to look like a magic trick, and Ian’s Secure Shoelace Knot has ...
I learned Ian's Secure Knot because sometimes you get shoe laces that are slippery and never stay tied. The secure knot is way better than doing a double knot as you can easily untie it.
I also visit the site right after buying new shoes or boots and look up lacing patterns and pick something fun. I'm currently using Spider Web lacing.
It's actually from 2022. I'd call it somewhat new age folk as I know they have an electric violin. Thanks for checking out the song! Love the idea for this post.
Am I crazy or is this video explaining the suspension pretty stupid. It's saying Tkachuk was watching the play the whole time while you can clearly see him with his head down pushing Stanley into the bench. This doesn't seem worthy of a suspension to me.

Just played the NES Contra yesterday for the first time in probably over a decade. Still can beat it first try although I did have to use a couple of continuous on stage 4. I'm so used to not dying that I forgot where to find the good weapons. But for stages 5-8 I still had all the muscle memory of where to shoot and when that I developed as a kid.
Slice & Dice is a great RPG strategy game where your heroes have their abilities on dice and you know your enemy's actions so can plan which abilities you'll need. I've been playing it off and on for a while now. The demo is good and I bought the full game pretty quickly. No additional costs or ads.

I'm very interested in this and will try it out. There was another connection manager that the author posts on Lemmy, but the memory usage was very high due to the amount of docker containers used. A quick glance showed no requirement for docker. The ssh port forwarding could be a very useful feature for my work right now.
Last year, the Firefox team set out to test something fans requested: choosing a custom app icon. The experiment was simple. Offer a small set of options and see how people use them.
Oh that's interesting. About a week or maybe 2 ago I got a pretty big Firefox mobile update. The entire UI was overhauled. Have you experienced that yet?
This is a really neat and well written list of games. It's so interesting how different these games were from the console games at the time. So many live acted sequences with pre rendered backgrounds. The only game I knew of beforehand was Phantasmagoria, but Dark Seed was ringing a bell. Perhaps a friend had that one. I might have to try some of these games.
The other Stephen King short story turned into a movie recently (Long Walk) also
Spoiler
completely changed the ending, although I heard a rumour that the original ending will be on the home release. So maybe this movie will have an alternate ending as well. The change after following the book pretty well up til that point made it feel like a weird alternate reality all of a sudden. Very jarring. Not that I think the changes were bad, but changed how I was experiencing the movie.
Probably because older phones are in maintance mode for the OS. Adding new features always carries some complexity and testing all models takes time. Limit the models to test to only the more recent ones and you save money.
That said, it would be so nice to have a more open system where I can decide that if that goes on my phone myself.

This plan was crafted to reflect the realities of the situation, after 5 years of a devastating war, to find the best win-win scenario, where both parties gain more than they must give."
A win-win scenario when one of the parties just invades the other? Well, this government is also one that would try to find a win-win scenario when someone is raped.
The story of Ghost in the Shell’s main villain the Puppet Master hinted at a future where governments use hackers for espionage, at a time when most of the world had never connected to the internet.
