This is an embeded video on a random page.
Yeah, I use #firefox containers, and everything google related is opening in one specific container to limit their spying on me. I opened the page in different container, thus I am not signed in.
Well ok, give me the link to the youtube video and I will watch it there? In the right container?

@ebassi I feel stupid. Is this a reference to that book by Neil Strauss?

Tyhle kufry Garmin mi vyhovují mnohem víc než od Shimana, proto jsem je dal na nejlepší tretry (letní DMT).

Logic Pro surprise: authentic recreation of 1982 Quantec Room Simulator - CDM Create Digital Music
Every so often, you get something that's clearly a labor of love. Apple has acquired the innovative digital reverb legacy of Quantec and its late founder Wolfgang "Wolf" Buchleitner and built it into Logic Pro for iPad and Mac.Peter Kirn (CDM Create Digital Music)
This is indeed a pleasant and an indeed unexpected surprise.
On a sidenote, if you don't use Logic, Savant Audio Labs recreated these at savantaudiolabs.com/product-ca…
To potom nemôžeš byť like a... "ty k***, choď do p***, ťa tu roz****", nebudeš môcť nikoho biť, budeš sa musieť kontrolovať a robiť robotu dobre. Tu je to asi trochu opačne.
Asi sa mýlim, len taký pocit.

Bolt Bins will quickly deliver a huge bin holding 1, 2 or 3 cubic meters of stuff. It’s kind of like an incredibly sturdy canvas bag. We’re using it to load more priceless, irreplaceable technological mementoes, or junk, depending on which of us you are talking to. Bah.
Then, when you’re done, you just push the request pickup button on the top of the website, and they pick it up and take it away! Cool! And effortless too.
But you mark my words, one day, Bonnie’s going to regret throwing out that old charger for, for, well whatever it once charged. You mark my words I tell you! And those floppy disks too! And the RS-232 cable.
Some of y'all here would see a story about someone's experience with genocide written on Google docs or discussed on Zoom & attack those bringing this story to the fore for using the wrong platform.
Makes you look so incredibly privileged & out of touch.
The priority can be to reach as many people as possible using platforms that are easy for them to use, rather than proving that one is against Big Tech.

Вообще надеюсь когда-нибудь найти время на французский, хотя бы на базовом уровне, чтобы понять например, смогу ли разобраться с этими загадочными правилами чтения. Помню ты говорил что там всё не так сложно, но блин, когда увидел что фамилия Жиру, может быть написана как Girous и Giroud, подумал что понимание всей логики оно для избранных.
Кстати не помню где читал или от кого слышал, что французы часто пишут с какими-то знатными ошибками, условно в комментах к какому-нибудь посту. Видимо и для них написание это квест.

I had to open dev tools to dig out the video link from the iframe src attribute as there really is no link to the video in the view.
