Ime it's not only the quality/style of music but being compressed and transmitted over phone line (which is optimized for human voice) and also often being way too loud (sudden shock plus clipped dynamic range).
Law terminology specifically can seem pretty archaic because there's a high need for terms to be stable over time. In other fields and everyday speech terms can change over time. There's contracts signed decades or even centuries ago that are still binding today. So it's practical in a sense if the words within and those used to discuss legal dealings don't change over time.
Eternity on Android passes with flying colors.
Off topic but:

How do you study analog emails then? Print them out?
I'm the opposite of this picture. It's like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.
Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.
You can see that it's symmetrical and that they used 6 diametrical cuts to make 12 pieces. So 2 are missing.
Not that it matters much, but this little dishonesty just adds to the zaniness of the whole ad.
In my experience the big problem is not people self ascribing personality types but type casting others. When you expect others to have certain traits you also treat them accordingly.
I can't believe she has trouble speaking in front of crowds, she's a lion after all.
Then again horoscopes aren't unified or anything and you can just cherry pick from different sources and cultures to believe anything.
I don't think it works well here because the art styles don't match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.
After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.
That likely means they'll put thought into a pleasant controller layout (including steam actions) as well. Good stuff.

not a meme per se but I always found the command abcde confusing:
user1: How to best rip this music album??
user2: Oh simple: abcde
user1: 🤔🤔?
abcde stands for 'a better CD encoder', the more you know

Curiously enough when a similar experiment was first performed decades earlier the original intent was to get the spiders to weave their webs during different times of the day, rather than alter the pattern.

I'm often using the
Select by ColororFuzzy Selecttool. ¿Is there a quick way to increment the threshold with a keyboard shortcut, the mouse wheel, or similar?Take the following example:
Given the image of the GIMP mascot, I want to select only certain portions, for instance the outer white part.
To do this I activate the
Select by Coloror theFuzzy Selecttool. Set the threshold to a starting value (let's say 15), then click on a white part at the edges of the image. But I'm not quite satisfied with the resulting selection: it selects most of the area I want but not enough of the greyish shadow below the chin. So I adjust the threshold to 50 and click again. Still not enough, set to 90 and lick again. A bit too much, set to 80 and click another. Almost there, set to 85 and click. Set to 83 and finally voilá.That involved a lot of clicking and typing though. ¿Is there a quicker way to do this? Ideally I would like to see a live update of the selection as I change the threshold, so that I can simply drag the slider or scroll the mouse wheel until it's perfect.
Maybe I'm simply using the wrong tool and there's are completely different inroads to achieve this. I'd like to know about those as well.

It's appealing but I wish the black font for mountain names had an outline or something to make it more readable.
