📺 That’s it, we’re getting a YouTube premium family thing going. Everyone got tired of the long ads. You win, Google.

@maique I totally get it. For some reason I don't get ads if I'm using Brave, but whenever I use a different browser I just give up. Absolutely hate ads.

courts, to books

So, anyone else notice problems with counting your books wrong for the reading challenge? I just noticed because I mainly use these days, but I still add books as read in Goodreads.

Turns out, there are a couple of books I read this year that don't turn up in the Goodreads reading challenge overview, but properly show as read if I search for them. Bookwyrm is counting everything correctly in its reading challenge. Not that I care much, but this is the first year I've seen this happen because of my switch to Bookwyrm.

@courts If you mark as "read" without marking it as "currently reading" first, it doesn't add to the current year's readings. @bookstodon

I’m SO happy with my 1998 car.

"Wheels falling off cars at speed. Suspensions collapsing on brand-new vehicles. Axles breaking under acceleration. Tens of thousands of customers told Tesla about a host of part failures on low-mileage cars."

Anybody have any fun plans this week or this coming weekend?

Do you have any pre-Christmas traditions?

@jcrabapple making cookies! I actually don't like making cookies, I find them too much work, but I enjoy the process at this time of the year. :-)

Este Last Week Tonight sobre chocolate é incrivelmente bom a explicar como controlar mercados. Há produtores que recebem quase nada, consumidores que pagam como se os produtores estivessem a ganhar bem, e quem tira proveito é quem controla o canal intermediário entre os produtores e os consumidores. Ou muito me engano, ou este é o princípio que rege muitos negócios hoje em dia. Olha o digital, as "app stores" e afins. Como é que um produtor independente tem hipótese?

Wow. Can you imagine DRM on a train? We seem to be getting to a point where nothing you buy is yours, you're just lending from a company that may decide you can't use the thing anymore. Even a huge thing like a train.

I'm usually not such a big fan of Christmas time and I have been trying to mostly ignore big holidays since 3 years.

But, for some reason, this year I'm into it. I decorated early AND I got myself a Christmas gift AND I wrapped it! :awesome:​🎁​✨

There will be no surprise
for me when I unwrap it but:

Can YOU guess what it is? 👀

*Christmas tree for scale 🎄

@Em0nM4stodon Looks exciting! A book? A box of chocolates? A game? Socks in a box? 😊🎄

When they ask "is there a doctor on the plane?", what do they expect them to do? Their carry-on isn't full of medicine and medical instruments. It's full of liquor and dildos like everyone else headed on holiday.

@dabertime had that last year, there were 2 doctors on the flight. From what I saw, they seemed to evaluate the situation and decide on the severity, I think the decidion on whether to keep going or divert was on them. When we landed, the ambulances and paramedics were at the gate. @the_etrain

Uma pequena parte da história de tantos, galegos e não só, obrigados pela miséria e pela ditadura a fugir para outras paragens. Migrantes económicos, pois, sempre os houve.
Quantas pessoas da minha geração foram criados por familiares, e viam os pais só no verão, com sorte também no Natal. Emigrados para França ou outros lugares, para ganhar a vida e sustentar os filhos.
Não foi assim há tanto tempo. Antigamente não era bom.

Da minha experiência de gestão de hospitais privados, posso-vos dizer com o que contar:

  • só mantenho abertos serviços com procura suficiente para darem lucro;
  • os médicos de clínica geral têm sempre filas enormes, porque todos os doentes têm que passar por lá;
  • os VIPS passam sempre à frente de todos;
  • os funcionários (todos) são pagos o mínimo possível para não se irem embora;
  • as férias dos funcionários são o mínimo possível; /1

A bilionária, o mordomo, e o namorado, é uma série francesa de 3 episódios (Netflix).
Há coisas que só quem tem quantidades obscenas de dinheiro há-de perceber. Ter tanto, que oferecer apartamentos não tem significado para quem doa. Recompensar uma amizade com 917 mil milhões de euros (o número ficou-me na cabeça) e responder às críticas com um, qual é o problema da generosidade. /1

Ter gente constantemente a pedir dinheiro para o que lhes apetece, e dá-lo. E ainda assim, esconder do fisco milhões, para pagar menos impostos.

Uma espreitadela a uma vida diferente, que quase ninguém adivinharia. Uma filha zangada com a mãe que causa um escândalo com repercussões nacionais em França. Muito interessante. /2/fim
