Love that!

Similar story, a friend of mine's cottage has an AirBNB next door (well maybe 500ft away), often the AirBNB guests party late. When that happens, my friend blast opera at 6am to wake them up. It usually works and they dont party so much the next night. Unfortunately, he has to resort to that tactic almost every weekend with new guests.

He is also working through the legal system to try to remedy this situation.

...Its known to be one of the more difficult languages to learn...

Every time I hear this is, it is from someone that only speaks English.

Trust me that English is by far the easiest, and I speak 6 languages (none well maybe).

Latin based languages are much more complicated because you have deference or politeness (which does not even exist in English), plus all the verb tenses, then masculine/feminine. And on masculine/feminine they are different in Italian/French/Spanish/Portuguese, when you think you got it, you can quickly sound like foreigner with one mistake.

Japanese and German have many levels of deference as well.

Old joke: What do you call someone who speaks 3 languages? Trilingual. 2 languages? Bilingual. One language: American.

Comment Buy chineese TV boxes (Score 1) 85

I have learnt my lesson (well I hope I did).

Been burned by Google a few times

1) 2012, Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV - 2012. Great keyboard, but Google stopped supporting pretty quickly, 2014?

2) Now my Amazon Fire TV stick, Google blocks YouTube app.

My next TV stick/box will for sure be a non name chineese, thanks but you (Google) are a real pain.

I dont where to vent this, but I need to.

Bought Windows 8, its been crashing non-stop, yesterday it would not allow me to log in at all!

My wife, said "enough of this piece of crap. I am not an IT person and I know this OS is unuseable...but do you persist trying?"

So, I asked for my refund (it was actually fairly simple to do). And Windows 7 is back on in full glory. I wonder how many people have done this? The operator said that there's was quite a few. Would love to hear the stats on that.

I'll stick to Android for touch screens. W8 is useless and stupid on a desktop. Hard to believe this OS had actually gone through a testing cycles.

Thanks for listening to my rant, I feel much better now!

And I'll add in some of my experience which actually circles back somewhat to the original topic.

My wife is Brazilian (see!)...I am in my mid 40s...I and my wife have been watching porn for as long as I could get hard (back then was in printed magazines). We both watch each alone and together as well.

And guess what? We still have great sex, I have no problem ejaculating, fast if I want to...or taking longer if she wants a longer experience. And after these years, we are still very active...worse weeks are twice...average is 3-4 times. And I can still go double within an hour...and do occasionally just to verify that I can still do it!

I have to admit, I do have the perfect wife! Actually I suggest to most north american should marry a brazilian woman instead of the boring women in N.A....but that's another topic altogether!

So, I dont believe porn is a reason to not be able to sexually active with a partner.
