> As I ranted against the '90s and "how hard it was back then to have access to information", my wife came over the workbench, looked at the HDD, and then calmly informed me the J50 was the pins on the left. Hein, mais comment tu sais ca? Then she flipped the HDD to show me the PCB pins were labeled!

Mr. Sanglard is a lucky man :-)

Have you tried SMPlayer? It's a lot like MPC

I bet you're getting plenty of downvotes from the Yanks.

Do elaborate on that first paragraph though please, I'm bursting with curiosity about what makes you see it that way.

"The technique works by subverting standard social etiquette. The normal rules dictate that we take turns. I talk about myself, then you talk about yourself, etc. Active listening changes that. You are listening, they are talking. We do not take turns.

You need to work hard to maintain these unusual rules. Your partner will try to give you a turn"

This unwritten rule is not understood by many. There are plenty of people out there that are completely happy to drain you of your energy by talking endlessly about themselves. What I try to do in those situations is to assert my speaking time and if that doesn't change their attitude, it's bye bye, fuck off, go drain someone else.

I've had an awful experience with Duplicati. Unstable, incomplete, hell to install natively on Linux. This was 5 years ago and development in Duplicati seemed slow back then. Not sure how the situation is now.

Does it include those from comments? Great videos to be found there, too.

And when they do, it always has to be something like "No, thanks". Always with the forced gratitude. Never a good old "No, FUCK OFF" to accommodate me.
