Thanks. The brand I use is an eco one that does not use any plastic packaging at all, only cardboard. The pod film is bio-degradable too

YouTube have worked really hard this year to help people balance their media consumption with real life.

Everytime I am confronted with another irritating YouTube advert I close the App and say "Thanks YouTube. You are right, I didn't need to watch a detailed unboxing review for a product I neither want, nor need to know exists. I will do something in the real world and try you again in an hour"

I now find myself thinking twice before even opening the App.

Even better on my PC, because I use AdBlockers, YouTube doesn't even let me waste my time, even when I want to.

Truly, Do No Evil

I have Nebula but it kinda sucks. Content is too narrow and too US focussed. I really want a YouTube alternative but until they start to let more creators on the platform, not sure this is it.

How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in. Am I doing it wrong? Serious question

It could also lead to a human version of "Paris Syndrome" where people AI Undress their crush, only to be sorely disappointed when the real thing is not as good.

Reminds me of the time I got a quiz question wrong; who was the first Man on the Moon.

I wasn't born, but everything I've ever read said it was Neil Armstrong, so that's what I answered.

The idiot quiz master said it was Buzz Aldrin (the second man). In disbelief, I tried to educate them of their error, only for the rest of the room, mainly boomers, to tell me I was wrong. Including one guy in his 80s who said "It was definitely Buzz. I watched it when it happened. I remember it well".

I asked him "who said the famous 'one small step for man'?"

Him: "Ahh yes, Now that was Armstrong."

Me: "Surely Buzz would say those words if he was the first one out. I mean there is literally video of the event. You even watched it live"

Him: "Yes, it's Armstrong in the video. But Buzz was definitely first out. Who do you think was holding the camera?"

If you pay to own a movie then yes, you should be allowed to make copies of it and keep it forever, even if the seller goes bankrupt in future. You are paying to own the movie.

If you subscribe to Netflix you are not paying to own the content, you are paying for access to their content. Therefore you cannot legally download a movie from Netflix and keep a copy forever.

However, if Netflix don't make it possible to buy their unique content for permanent ownership, then piracy is the inevitable result and they should address that.

But let's be honest here, none of you are intending to buy anything.

I see this often. Does this work better than just washing again with tablets? Or even just a water wash?
