At home I always sit. I don't care how well endowed you are or how well you can aim, there's always a bit of splash that I don't want to deal with. In most people's homes I'll have the same decency to sit. Nobody wants to sit where someone's pee has been, or clean that off the floor, etc. At work I'll usually sit too, let's be honest I'm probably going to scroll on my phone for a minute or two while I'm at it.

I rarely go to the bathroom in public, I'll usually wait until I get home. For the few exceptions, I'll almost always stand. Because some of those toilet seats, especially in men's bathrooms, can be nasty.

What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch?

There really aren't any cons, IF you do everything right. With a hacked V1, you can make a copy of your internal storage and put it on your microSD card. This is called an emuNAND.

With CFW, you can boot from the emuNAND and keep all your hacks, homebrew, pirated games, etc. on emuNAND. This way, you keep your sysNAND entirely clean. So you can go online with your sysNAND and your legitimately purchased games, and never worry about bans.

You can do just about anything you can think of with a hacked switch. You can pirate games, you can emulate games from just about any retro console. You can run Linux, you can run Android. You can overclock, you can use game cheats and mods. You can play music and videos. You can use game controllers from other consoles on it. You can play your PC games on Switch by streaming them from your PC. All sorts of possibilities.

How have you experienced bad men's anatomy?

At least in the United States, there is a ton of misinformation about circumcision. Long story short, it's routinely done to infant boys, and is commonly thought to be healthier. In truth, there is little to no evidence of any medical benefits from circumcision.

Even further, many doctors, including pediatricians, aren't taught proper care for foreskins. A classic example is that in young boys the foreskin is fused to the head of the penis. It loosens as they get older, and usually is retractable around puberty. It's important not to forcibly retract the foreskin until this happens, or it can cause complications, including phimosis. Many pediatricians don't know this, and will retract the foreskin during a checkup, or will give the parents bad advice and tell them to clean under the foreskin during bath time.

Software that supports your body should always respect your freedom

It should also respect your PRIVACY! There are numerous articles about CPAP machines transmitting your data to not only your doctor but also your insurance company, WITHOUT your consent. Possibly your employer as well. If your insurance company decides you're "not complying" and using your CPAP machine enough, they'll take it away from you. Your employer could fire you.

Having a sleep apnea diagnosis can also limit you from certain jobs, and can make it harder to get life insurance. In some ways it feels like you're not a free man anymore.

Anon does the right thing

Anon would be best off avoiding that girl at all costs. Dodged a bullet there. If she's unhappy with the relationship she should break up first. Being willing to cheat is a big red herring. Guess who she's going to cheat on next?

And who knows who's to blame for the relationship issues? Never stick your dick in crazy...

Recompilation: An Incredible New Way to Keep N64 Games Alive

Sm64ex-coop is amazing! I never got far in super mario 64, the camera gave me headaches. I did know it was a revolutionary game for it's time though.

With sm64ex-coop, you can enable free look with the camera, and if you set it up right it feels just like the camera in many modern games. There are hi-res texture packs (Render96) available that also look amazing. And finally, they added a bunch of mods and features, one major one being the ability to play multiplayer.

Oh yeah, and it's cross-platform, runs on a whole bunch of different devices. I highly recommend checking it out, it's sooo much better than anything you'll get from an emulator.

For me it's the tailgating, regardless of whether the brake lights are on. It's not a race. Whether you follow half a car length behind, or 8 car lengths behind, it's not going to change when you're getting to your destination. I woupd rather keep my distance and show up a few seconds later to my destination, than tailgate and wreck because I didn't leave enough braking room.

How are you?

Pretty horrible. Wife wants a divorce and is unwilling to try and fix things. Barely communicates with me at all.

I met my stepson when he was 9 months old. He's 11 now. I'm the only father he knows. I'm devastated, because not only am I losing my wife, but I'm also losing my son, as I have no legal right to him. I'm estranged from the rest of my family, so the world is looking pretty cold and lonely from here.

Ain't it funny how if a guy has sex with a drunk chick, he's "taking advantage of her and the situation," but if a chick has sex with a drunk guy it's rarely seen that way, and in either case if she ends up pregnant she can go after the guy for child support for the next 18 years...

Is anyone using the steam deck as their day to day computer?

I've been using my Steam Deck as my primary PC both at work and at home. Very few issues. I have two monitors, power, ethernet, keyboard, and mouse all connected via a USB-C dock. I love that when I'm done with work I can unplug one USB-C cable and take my work with me. I also have an electric car, and I love being able to play my PC games while waiting for my car to charge.

As a web developer one of the biggest hurdles I had to jump through was getting MySQL Workbench running, as there's no flatpak or working AppImage available. The lack of CUPS for printing support is another nuisance, but I believe that can be overcome without unlocking the root partition by installing it as a systemd extension. I haven't taken the time to fully prove this theory though. You can also print using netcat.

I installed a 2TB SSD in mine. I have a small 256gb Windows partition that I rarely use for the few things I need Windows for. I also DJ as a side hobby, and I've used my Steam Deck for that too.
