How is watching a movie or a clip in a browser on full screen not highest possible quality experience? What is gained from not watching in a browser?

Kanopy looks quite interesting and seems to be available from Germany.

EDIT: I don't get it ... seems like a special service for people registered a library or university !? :/

I left my bootlegging days behind ...

i usually try to materialize a hot chick and have sex ... afterwards i tend to blame myself for not having used the opportunity for constructive self-inspection.

for a second I was worried that this refers to vaping weed - my little VapCap M can't do no harm ...

i usually drink a glass of water with a little bit of table salt. it's more isotonic and therefore more refreshing. the benefit is even more sensible when i do sports. fewer or no muscle spasms/jittering because the minerals of the salt improve nerve signaling.

> and physical threats

that you interprete that as a physical threat tells more about you than me. I'm certainly not getting physical against anybody at work or pretty much anywhere else ... I'm talking about standing up against bullying by verbal or legal means.

I wouldn't be "offended" by others playing with nerf guns but certainly annoyed ... but I would be offended if others would involve me in this pretty infantile and sub-radar-bullying pastime. who do you think is going to get shot at on a regular basis? but of course it's just fun - right?

and no - repetitive exposure to sexualized remarks without positive feedback is sexual harassment.

and I am saying that as a European guy who is slightly infamous for very direct and obvious flirting - even at work. but as soon as I get a rejection - even a polite one - I'm going to just accept it and move on.

guys like you make work life a terrible experience for others by forcing your idea of fun on them. you should hope to never meet a guy like me b/c that's not going to be a fun experience for you in the end.

whiteboard tests are always going to produce fuzzy red and white flags. those will come handy later when it gets to assessing the applicant based on sympathy and arbitrary objective arguments are required to back whatever the interviewer wants to conclude.

now we don't need stand-ups. couple of months ago they were the best since sliced bread. in job interviews i still get asked every time how often we do stand-ups - right after whether my team is lean, agile or design thinking. good lord have mercy ...

i had very bad experiences 1st and 2nd hand with Acer, though. unprovoked crashes, WiFi not working without significant research and fiddling. multiple models.

two of several appeals of Linux to me are the fact that it is free and modest on resources.

from that angle it seems slightly ironic that all those great Linux laptops leave the 1000 usd mark way behind them.

thing is, I'm actually intending to buy a laptop and have Mint run on it.

any suggestions for a laptop cheaper than 1k?

I'm eyeing Dell latitude 5480.

I can travel in my mind by reading and meditating.

Actual traveling is mostly just an excuse to distract oneself from exploring one's own inner unknown territory.

I never gained anything by visiting a new place b/c at the end of the day everything is pretty much the same. Of course it is exciting and I also totally enjoy it - but real growth is not dependent on that at all.
