Another thing with the trial I was a jury member on was the plaintiff themselves were not always present, most days it was just their lawyer and paralegal. The judge reminded us each day that we can't hold their physical presence or lack thereof for or against them.

I'm no lawyer, but if neither the plaintiff nor the witnesses needed to be physically present I don't see how they can justify forcing Gabe Newell to be. Despite being CEO he's still not the defendant.

Easier to add more ram than it is to change my tab hoarding habits

I was a juror last year for a civil case, half the witnesses were cross examined over zoom before the days of the trial and played back for us. The judge made it explicitly clear that we were to take remote testimony the same as any others done in person

This isn't a criminal trial with Gabe Newell as the defendant, it's a civil trial against the company Valve.

Dyslexic ass universe we live in . The 2020's were supposed to be 'the future', an advanced post-scarcity world. We got a post-satire world instead

My digital timers have a ton of labeled times I've set for various things. One press and I'm set, and I can have multiple going at once and know at a glance which one is done or nearly so. My memory isn't good enough to keep track of how long things take, and I lose physical notes. Having those notes all saved within a clock app attached to their own timers is far too convenient for me to do away with

Try the audio captcha, those seem to have actual valid answers to them.

Funny enough, there's an extension that solves captchas by feeding that audio through a speech recognition algorithm. If anything it's more reliable than solving them manually

If anything the bot is far more successful than I am solving captchas manually

barcades are a great option if there's one nearby. "Hey, want to play?" is so much easier than trying to start a conversation unprompted

microsoft does have a launcher for android. I've heard good things about it, but haven't used it myself so can't confirm

AMdroid is similar, bunch of different task and puzzle options you can set for your future self to solve before you can turn the alarm off. I usually do math problems, just difficult enough that I need to be at least 90% conscious to actually solve them.

come morning time I hate the app with a passion, but it's just the kick in the ass I need sometimes
