If it doesn't give her the ick and she likes the classic styles, used jewelry is the way to go. It's already had the "walk out of store" depreciation and I think engravings on most rings are pretty easy to replace.

As a more personal recommendation, when I ahem "outgrew" my own engagement ring and was too lazy/cheap to resize, I got a "temporary" replacement 10? years ago from here. It was supposed to be moissanite in titanium, did an XRF analysis and the band material was some sort of nickel-less maybe steel IIRC. No idea if the moissanite is genuine, but it's held up way better than any CZ has, and the band has kept better than silver so props to that.

They'll keep bringing this up again and again and again until it passes, huh.

Next Council deliberations and vote in October-December.

During the pandemic I browsed anime again and really enjoyed My roommate is a cat (and not really anything else that came up). My husband and I like old-fashioned cyberpunk, so on his suggestion we watched and enjoyed Edgerunners.

So there's still anime out there that matches my tastes. It just doesn't usually come up, and I don't follow releases or check anything out "just because it's anime".

I'd love to watch good anime again, same as with any good TV/movie, but no longer hang around people who:

  1. mentioned an interesting anime like any other show, and not as a long list of recommendations or rabid fandom. Talk to me of your favourite anime like you would of The Bear or Fleabag, sheesh.
  2. were ones whose taste regarding media I trusted.

Basically too much shite, no interest to wade through it and no easy/natural filters available.

First thing you need to understand is that the smooth end-to-end encryption works only tuta-to-tuta or proton-to-proton, so in rare cases. Encryption at rest, which is what tuta-to-proton, gmail-to-tuta etc. can do, is something that a lot of other email providers do too.

I'm currently in the process of moving from Proton to Tuta, because despite several years of promises, the Android client for Proton still doesn't do non-google push notifications. Also because if you just need email with your own domain, Tuta is much more price-friendly. (The tier also includes unlimited calendars and event invites, which I haven't tried.) If you also want VPN and encrypted storage, the balance tips.

I don't use the calendar from either, so can't talk for their properties. I prefer seamless calendar integration for wrist gadget integration and such, so using NextCloud Calendar + DavX. For smooth integration with encryption, could also look into Etesync. I think you'll be able to share an ics attachment from either of those through your normal calendar.

Germany is a 14-eyes-country, but since I'm just privacy conscious and my threat model doesn't include international-coordination-level actors (barely state level, am in the EU but not German, so eh, far enough), it doesn't matter that much to me. Proton also has to obey court rulings.

There's also "The Walk" from the same makers, for us non-joggers. I tried it long ago and I think it was mostly an audio story that triggered a new chapter at some step counts.

Also mistaken for fulgurite by the more naturalistically minded, apparently. Maybe most common in the Nordics, based on viking references?

My cat. Everyone would be played by cats. Untrained cats, just put them together in relevant places and roll camera. It's art now.

Arvostelu: Normalin 7€ "Man Up" partahöylä

+ halpa kuin mikä
+ ulkonäkö jossain määrin muokattavissa
+ toimii

- vaatii sääätämistä
- kahvasta halpa fiilis ja sisältää muovia

* "closed edge", 2-osainen terämekanismi
* erittäin pääpainava
* pitkävartinen, 10,6 cm varsi

Osui tässä männä päivänä silmääni Normal:ista partahöylä 7€:n hinnalla. Koska sähköajuri vetelee viimeisiään ja kasettihöylien muoviroska ja hinta ketuttaa, päädyin sitten nappaamaan mukaan. Mainittakoon että minulla ei ole aikaisempaa kokemusta partahöylistä, ja vaikka naamaan jokunen haituva valitettavasti kasvaakin, testaus on tehty pääasiassa säärillä ja kainaloilla.

Käytin nesteenä ihan vain vettä ja käsisaippuaa. Ensimmäisen yrityksen jälkeen sain naamaan pari nirhaumaa, toisella yrittämällä vain yhden pienen. Sääreen sain vanhan näppylän kohdalle yhden. Kainalot yllättäen menivät molemmilla yrityksillä mallikkaasti, vaikka siellä arpiepätasaisuutta onkin, ja tulos on ensipäivän kuin epiloinnin jäljiltä mutta huomattavasti miellyttävämmin (ja sitä kautta nopeammin) saavutettu. Kasvaa tietysti nopeammin. Kaiken kaikkiaan ajotulos on myös vasta-alkajalta siisti, ja vaati vähemmän "höyläämistä" kuin halpis-kasettihöylät. 2 viikon seurannassa ei tulehduksia.

Puhdistusta varten uudelleen avattaessa ilmeni tämän höylän suurin vika: Kahvan muovikappale ei ole kunnolla kiinni, vaan lähtee helposti pyörimään, mikä tekee pääosan irroittamisesta hankalaa tai suoraan vaarallista. Kahvaosan saa kuitenkin voimakkaasti kiertäen auki, ja esim. 2-komponenttiepoksi molempiin päihin tikulla levittäen minkä jälkeen tiivis kokoaminen auttaa asiaan. Tässä yhteydessä tietenkin voisi myös maalata muoviosan, tulostaa erilaisen, tms. En jaksanut, mutta jos olisin hankkinut tietäen että säätämiseen joutuu, varmaankin olisin väsännyt jkl yksisarvisoksennuskahvan ihan vain koska.

Kaiken kaikkiaan suosittelen partahöylistä kiinnostuneille joilla on rajallinen budjetti mutta jotka ovat valmiita vähän säätämään, eikä lähellä ole myyjää jolta saisi ylijäämälaitteen sopivaan hintaan. Eri mieltä saa olla.

Condoms aren't 99% effective as contraception even if you use them perfectly, which most people don't.

Of the companies listed on the screenshot or mentioned in the article, at least LinkedIn, Twitter, Deezer, Dropbox, Zynga and MyFitnessPal have been hacked before. Probably just a collection of old data?

Edit: Yeah, aggregated data

Metro. Train go underground, yay! Probably helps that where I'm from they're pretty tidy.

Mechanical items being repaired. It didn't work as it was supposed to, now it does, magical, you healed it! (Sometimes it's even me being the magician.)

How much my flute cost. (It's from my fun money, and a bargain for what it is, but still.)
