The stories in Discworld books are character driven. LOTR is much more plot driven. I feel like this is an apples and oranges comparison.

It also feels a bit like the false dichotomy arguments from my teenage years, where you could like either Star Trek or Star Wars, but not both.


I think you mean HexiBase?


I have my childrens accounts under my main account. If they watch a lot of certain types of videos, that will show up as a suggestion under my main account. I'm positive its not because they are using my account, I watch videos with them.

I also have a second account for watching more technical videos and that leaks into my main account suggestions.


Yes it's definitely affected by location (IP) and/or specific device metadata, casting videos from an incognito window affects future recommendations even though it warns about not being signed in to preserve history.

Poison YouTube recommendations at the nearest Starbucks! (Actually a marketing hack - encourage followers to log out and watch a channel's YouTube videos on public WiFi.)


I got those for a bit but it was a couple months back.

YT algo is so messed up and it seems the more they try to shape the content people view, the easier it gets for bad actors to exploit the algo.

Shorts are the absolute worst for it and it's why I mostly stick to my subs page over the home page.


if you leave the mouse hovering over a video and, if it autoplays (previews) an $amount of the video, it will be added to your view history and you will then be offered more of that "content".

I turn this "feature" off every time I open it, it tells me it has saved that configuration, but that is not the case. like other poster commented, review your view history and delete anything you do not want to see or clear it out entirely. There is also option to "don't recommend channel" ([3x ...] beside the video)

In my personal experience, Excel.

JIRA is a tool, it doesn't do the work for you. If someone knows how to organize, plan and track a project really well, the tool used doesn't matter as much.


A lot of VCs don't do any due diligence.


Literally potty humor.


Of course, you will need to assign the appropriate IAM Role per icon type.


Outside of Auckland you can do quite well on 150k.


Similar experience but I was in the military and I didn't have a choice to say no. I have 5 fillings. They wanted to schedule 2 more but I was due to be reassigned overseas. They tried to delay my reassignment over it. Eventually, they cleared my paperwork but made it clear I was to see the dentist at my new base as soon as possible.

My new dentist says there is nothing wrong with my teeth whatsoever.


Guilty with no way to prove innocence.
