Translation:

On a cool, clear night (typ­ic­al to South­ern Cali­for­nia) War­ren G travels through his neigh­bour­hood, search­ing for women with whom he might ini­ti­ate sexu­al inter­course. He has chosen to engage in this pur­suit alone.

Nate Dogg, hav­ing just arrived in Long Beach, seeks War­ren. On his way to find War­ren, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. Regard­less, he insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.

War­ren makes a left turn at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, where he sees a group of young men enjoy­ing a game of dice togeth­er. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chag­rin, he dis­cov­ers they intend to relieve him of his mater­i­al pos­ses­sions. Once the hope­ful rob­bers reveal their fire­arms, War­ren real­izes he is in a less than favour­able predicament.

Mean­while, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of pri­or­it­ies. His primary con­cern is loc­at­ing War­ren. After curtly cast­ing away the strum­pets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their auto­mobile), he serendip­it­ously stumbles upon his friend, War­ren G, being held up by the young miscreants.

War­ren, unaware that Nate is sur­repti­tiously observing the scene unfold, is in dis­be­lief that he’s being robbed. The per­pet­rat­ors have taken jew­ellery and a name brand design­er watch from War­ren, who is so incred­u­lous that he asks what else the rob­bers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhet­or­ic­al question.

Observing these unfor­tu­nate pro­ceed­ings, Nate real­izes that he may have to use his fire­arm to deliv­er his friend from harm.

The ten­sion cres­cendos as the rob­bers point their guns to Warren’s head. War­ren senses the grav­ity of his situ­ation. He can­not believe the events unfold­ing could hap­pen in his own neigh­bour­hood. As he ima­gines him­self in a fant­ast­ic­al escape, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Nate.

Nate has sev­en­teen cart­ridges to expend (six­teen resid­ing in the pistol’s magazine, with a sol­it­ary round placed in the cham­ber and ready to be fired) on the group of rob­bers, and he uses many of them. After­wards, he gen­er­ously shares the cred­it for neut­ral­ising the situ­ation with War­ren, though it is clear that Nate did all of the dif­fi­cult work. Put­ting con­grat­u­la­tions aside, Nate quickly reminds him­self that he has com­mit­ted mul­tiple hom­icides to save War­ren before let­ting his friend know that there are females nearby if he wishes to for­nic­ate with them.

War­ren recalls that it was the prom­ise of cop­u­la­tion that coaxed him away from his pre­vi­ous activ­it­ies, and is thank­ful that Nate knows a way to sat­is­fy these urges.

Nate quickly finds the women who earli­er crashed their car on Nate’s account. He remarks to one that he is fond of her phys­ic­al appeal. The woman, impressed by Nate’s singing abil­ity, asks that he and War­ren allow her and her friends to share trans­port­a­tion. Soon, both friends are driv­ing with auto­mo­biles full of women to the East Side Motel, pre­sum­ably to con­sum­mate their flir­ta­tion in an orgy.

The third verse is more expos­it­ory, with War­ren and Nate explain­ing their G Funk music­al style. Nate dis­plays his bravado by claim­ing that indi­vidu­als with equi­val­ent know­ledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyr­ic­al mas­tery. He also notes that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find them­selves in a state of intox­ic­a­tion daily (from Nate’s oth­er works, it can be inferred that the sub­stance ref­er­enced is marijuana). Nate con­cludes his delin­eation of the night by issu­ing a vague threat to “busters,” sug­gest­ing that he and War­ren will fur­ther “reg­u­late” any poten­tial incid­ents in the future (pre­sum­ably by enga­ging their enemies with small arms fire).

Added to my audible wishlist, will check it out at a later date

No I specifically bought a Sony for my parents for ease of use and it is one of the worst purchases I have ever made.

I picked this specific model after looking for 3 months.

No where in any of the documentation or reviews did it say by plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I'm watching it and not record one channel while watching another which is a total deal breaker.

Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in. I've tried a new power pack but it doesn't really help. The only other thing I could do is get a new main board but can't source one with 6 months of searching eBay.

Do yourself a favour and buy a cheap LG panel and stick a streaming stick in it and never connect it to the internet.

I bought an almost new note 9 from Amazon 6 months ago for £150 to use as a dedicated audiobook, music and podcast player. The note 9 is the last one with the Bixby button. This was a requirement to set as a play pause button.

I rooted it, installed lineage OS with android 13 and exposed edge pro, mapped the Bixby button to play pause and rear fingerprint sensor to skip forward on up swipe and skip backwards on down swipe, froze all the unnecessary apps and the cell services.

Battery lasts for 4 or 5 days because it doesn't search for cell signal. I only use WiFi on it.

I hope to get many years of use out it.

I had done this with an old S10 as a test base.

Great phone worth every penny.

Acer are middle of the pack with hp at the bottom, dell and Lenovo are probably the best. Golden rule, never ever ever buy anything made by hp, problems after problems especially their printers.

I prefer Lenovo to be honest but dell are good as well.

I have been repairing computers for 20 years.

Pixel 6 owner, third party launchers and gestures started screwing up for me about 6 months ago, I've never got round to a factory reset but I think that's my only hope, happens with every launcher I try.

It was explained like this in a thread somewhere.

The recents menu, the one where you swipe up, hold, and get a card view of all your recent apps, used to be in a file called systemUI.apk. The systemUI holds files for lots of things. The bottom 3 buttons, the top bar icons the pull down shade, and tons of other things, as well as the recents list. All of the things in systemUI are accessible from pretty much any app, like 3rd party launchers. It’s a safe place for Android to hold things that any dev can have access too. The launchers would just invoke the function to show the recents with no lag at all, just like the stock launcher did.

Google, being Google, moved the recents list into the stock launcher.apk. Now, when a 3rd party launcher has to call the function to show the recents, it now has to use an api to invoke it from the stock launcher. Call api function. Function asks the stock launcher to show the recents. Stock launcher returns call to 3rd party launcher. Recents are then shown. Now there is a slight lag, because now there is a middle man. This is also why sometimes you get a blank screen for a millisecond and also why you cannot click another app immediately after returning to the home screen when closing an app, or from the recents list using a 3rd party launcher.

Before this, you could actually delete the stock launcher and use any launcher you wanted. Now, the stock launcher HAS to be installed in order to show the recents list. If the launcher has been dormant for a bit, the launcher then has to reload into memory in order to call that api method. It’s a cluster fuck.

The solution would actually be very simple, but has some security implications.

Android has a property for the package name that is responsible for the recents menu. This value is usually hard-coded to the default launcher of the OS.

A Magisk module called QuickSwitch can switch this value to any package name of your choice, including third-party launchers that implement the new recents menu system. When you change it, smooth animations just work with third-party launchers.

If Google would make it so that this recents menu provider value would update as you changed your default launcher, smooth animations would work.

Bronze age axe head, one of my friends who has sadly past away found 4 or 5 and also half a bronze age sword. The more time you put in and more ground you cover the more likely you are to find something good.

Seen hammered coins, Roman coins, gold coins, sword pomells, viking silver, a Hitler youth dagger, Roman sling shots, lots of different stuff.

I use an Xp Deus based in the UK.

I'm sure it's legacy thing from back in the day, flashing means it's sending or receiving, solid means it's idle.

Does anyone know if gestures with 3rd party Launchers is fixed.

Yeah that's the one, I've seen it explained like this, these are not my words but copy pasta from a Reddit thread I seen a while back
