If you find yourself wandering through New York City, there’s this absolutely wonderful hat shop right near the start of the district, tucked away on the west side.

Happy!!! 🙂

It’s honestly pretty tough to pull off any real mischief when you're working with films all by yourself. 😁 Though, then again, once you see the kind of stuff they actually put on screen these days... 🤣

Wilson's. 😁

Here it is --> LINK

Here I am: 😁


Pretty close, right? 😁 To be fair, it didn't look quite like this at first, but once I cranked up the contrast on the photo, things started coming together. 🙂 I also had to spend some extra time touching up my hair, my mouth, and my physique—this is about as close as I could get to perfection. 🙂

So, just a bit of advice before you go uploading your own photo: definitely bump up those contrast settings. If you don't, you'll find the results aren't nearly as accurate as they should be. 🙂

If you're looking to dig a little deeper into your file system, here is the path you'll need to follow: go into your Control Panel, head over to Folder Options, click on the View tab, and then make sure you select the option to show hidden files and folders. It’s one of those small tweaks that makes a world of difference when you're trying to track down a stray configuration file or just get a better sense of what's actually taking up space on your drive.

Next up:

To find what you're looking for, you'll need to navigate through your user folders. It’s a bit of a trek, but if you follow this path, you should land right where you need to be: Documents and Settings -> [Your Username] -> Local Settings -> Application Data -> Mozilla (assuming you're using Firefox, of course) -> Firefox -> Profiles -> qcxi91dz.default -> Cache

Whether you’re using a dedicated downloader or just browsing through various sites, I’ve put together a collection here that covers pretty much every single video you might want to watch online.

Once you get settled in here, just go ahead and right-click and then select Sort by size.

The largest files you’ll be dealing with will naturally be the movies you've already watched. My suggestion? Just grab those files and move them into whatever folders you find most convenient. Once they're tucked away where you want them, go ahead and rename them using this format: title.flv

The most important thing I can tell you is this: please, for the sake of your own sanity, watch every single video tutorial all the way to the end before you even think about touching your settings. I’ve seen so many people jump the gun and run into trouble because they skipped a crucial step halfway through. Now, regarding that first part where I mention enabling "Show hidden files and folders"—you don't necessarily need to do that every single time. If you already have those settings toggled on, feel free to just leave them be; there's no need to go hunting through your menus if everything is already set up the way you like it.

If you’re looking to convert an .flv file into the ubiquitous .avi format, I’ve found that you’ll likely see the best results using Handbrake. It is incredibly configurable, which is a huge plus in my book. Most importantly for me, there isn't any audio lag—that's a bit of a dealbreaker in my opinion, as I've dealt with far too many conversions where the sound and picture end up completely out of sync. For a smooth experience, this is definitely the way to go.

If you happen to be a Verizon customer, my buddy Mark Zuckerberg actually developed this fantastic little app that lets you interface with Verizon's system right from your desktop—it's perfect for those 15 free daily messages.

Just a heads-up, though: you can't send standard SMS texts for free. It’s strictly an email-to-SMS setup, which means the person you're messaging needs a device that supports it and has their email-to-text feature turned on.

EDIT: You might want to check out this link or maybe this one, though I'm honestly not entirely sure if they also require that specific email-to-SMS activation to work properly.

Audacity is actually a fantastic little piece of software from back in the day—it’s incredibly intuitive and just runs so smoothly on almost any machine.

But, if you're looking to really dive into the deep end and take your production seriously, you really ought to be looking at either Pro Tools or Logic Pro, of course. 😁

I mean, I hear you, but the symptoms I'm experiencing feel incredibly strange for rheumatoid arthritis. It’s this widespread body aches, pain that just migrates from one spot to another, and this sudden, overwhelming exhaustion and weakness that hit me out of nowhere.

They ran some tests on my thyroid, and they're saying everything looks fine for now.

Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue what comes next; we'll just have to wait and see. There's even a possibility they might transfer me to a different hospital.

Thanks for getting back to me; I was starting to think I was the only one feeling this way about it.

That’s exactly my point, though. It feels incredibly strange to me too—given how typical the progression of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms usually is, this specific diagnosis just doesn't sit right.

I appreciate you bringing up the possibility of myositis; I'll definitely mention that to them.

Honestly, everyone here is just itching to get her transferred to a different hospital. It really feels like the staff at this one haven't got a clue what they're doing.

Anyone out there?

A close friend’s mother is 54, and she’s always been the picture of health—really robust, you know? But about a month ago, everything just shifted. She was hit with this sudden, overwhelming exhaustion and weakness that landed her straight in the hospital. She’s still there now, and honestly, things haven't improved much; even after running what feels like every test under the sun, the doctors are still scratching their heads trying to pin down a cause.

She’s describing these bone pains that seem to migrate all over the place—traveling from her legs up through her arms and even hitting her spine. To make matters worse, she recently lost all sensation in her right arm entirely.

Lately, she’s spent almost all her time sleeping; she barely has the strength to even sit up, let alone get out of bed.

The medical team recently reached a tentative conclusion that it might be rheumatoid arthritis. I can't help but wonder, could that actually be the case?
