Is this...? WTF is going on? I must have been asleep!

This is just stupid but then again....Japan Japanese political party to install AI Leader. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/east-asia/japan-path-rebirth-political-party-ai-leader-5351881

If you have micro soldering skills you could just replace the entire FFC clamp but its a pain. Last resort I guess would be hot glue...but personally I'd try more tape first. Bonne chance

If McGuyver was here he'd use some duct tape...or electrical tape will do.

This can't be real. Taiwan would be sitting next to a huge glowing radioactive pit if Pooh bear dared try that shit

@Bullit You my friend have a hell of an eclectic taste in music! I like it

Why we do NOT discuss politics. Narf

Alcohol was my drug of choice when young...a couple beers and this at full volume after some stressful event. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Since I was a kid I wanted to be Robinson Crusoe. Maybe thats why I like North American frontier stories and apocalypse movies. This thing they call civilisation has a lot of benefits, but more than a few drawbacks. Fsociety. Fpolitics. Fjob. F the rat race. But I guess I was never brave enough to just drop everything I worked for and go start again in the jungle. “Day by day we walk on, Our feet pressing The same earth Our fathers and our fathers’ fathers Walked day by day, While they walked on. Day by day we walk on, Hush, little ones, Don’t tell the earth We love her yet. We will sleep in her soon enough, But for now we walk on.”

Oh I know what I want for Christmas I loved the first season, I hope they can pull it off again.

I didn't (still don't) know if I should laugh or cry at this. BTW...AI is getting really scary

I'd rather pay $20 to totally delete my browser history

Oh my friend. Google Translate strikes again. I live in Japan and honestly would be totally riveted without Google Translate....however, It messes stuff up. A lot. I am sorry to report that your question is very confusing. Please try to translate single sentences and paste them in bullet form....its a pain I know.

Nice one! @Mr. Fox Von Hootin Max

Well this is just crazy. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-11/age-verification-search-engines/105516256 Starts here, ends with big brother Edit is it real or AI BS...who can tell.

I agree. They need to improve A LOT....but every other month here we have some old granny/git forget which pedal is the brake and plow into a bunch of kids. Sure you could argue its a age related license problem. More public transport, better design on roads, blaa blaa....all comes down to money I guess.

Thank you @Mr. Fox I really had not considered this angle before! I myself would never consider playing guitar and singing on a stage because I'm just not good enough to be anything like a professional entertainer. I though some of these talentless idiots really didn't know they suck. Maybe they just have thousands of sycophant followers ready to hit the like button every time the "artist" farts. But this changes everything. They are obviously smart enough to make money by "expressing themselves"......huh I think I will continue to express myself by also not listening to their garbage. But I'm sure they won't loose any sleep over my decision.

So I was trying to listen to some "modern music" recently. Kanye West and a whole bunch of other names I don't know....yeah. I'm old. They just don't make em like this any more...auto tune my ass Heart - Barracuda

A crime in which country? I've recently been experimenting with chatgpt, but as you may or may not remember I'm in Japan....totally different rules here baby!

What a dumb idea.......now if they could get it to stop moon walking and clean my house: they might get a customer...I frakkin hate house cleaning

I was introduced to Dire Straits at a young age and impressionable age.....thank God. I like just about everything they ever released....but this one is very special. Dire Straits - Ride across the river.

While I liked the NIN version. Miley here rocks the shit outta this! (From TV series Black mirror) Ashley O - Head like a hole Edit: I really can not find a good rendition of this cover...but
