KDE Connect: clipboard being shared to my phone from an offline PC?

I searched the sub and forums and couldn't find anything on this. At random times the clipboard on my phone (Galaxy S22) will populate with a file path that I copied on my PC days ago even though my PC is completely cut off from power. I have Windows phone link completely uninstalled from my PC so the only app that allows clipboard sharing is KDE.

I'm a little concerned about security, but since it's happened when my PC isn't even plugged into the outlet I figure it's just a bug with the android app. Anyone else experience this or may have some insight?

Just finished the show for the first time. I'm so conflicted

This show was phenomenal! The animation was beautiful and the story was so unique and fascinating. I can't believe how underrated this show is. I'll be recommending it everywhere.

The ending was perfect, I've never seen a show wrap up so cleanly while also being chaotic and unexpected and somehow making perfect sense. I wouldn't want it to be any other way.

Which leaves me feeling conflicted. I want more of these characters. I want to see more of this creative future. I want more of this amazing animation, music, and sound design. But I wouldn't ever want them to ruin this perfect ending. Which I think is the hallmark of a great show.

MIST is my favorite "robot sidekick" characters ever. I kind of want to learn robotics and programming just to make a little MIST to roll around my house and freak my cats out.

Day 4 of Cytisine: Miracle? Yes. Effortless? No.

I'm finishing up day 4 of Cytisine (Recigar) and wow! I can rarely make it past day 3 when trying to quit vaping, even with NRT. I always end up getting the little worm in my brain that takes over my body and forces me to go buy another vape. This time around with my friend cytisine, I'm still getting urges, but that little worm isn't taking over and making me fail, I'm able to ride out the cravings like I've wanted to do which makes me much more confident that I'll succeed in quitting this time around.

Some other benefits from cytisine I'm noticing are the reduced effects of withdrawal. I've had no insomnia which was always one of the worst effects for me, I don't have the weird overstimulating euphoria I tend to get around day 3, brain fog has been present but more subtle than debilitating, and my bouts of irritation/anger have been less frequent and less intense.

The only negative side effect from the cytisine I've had was mild nausea, but those episodes tend to pass in about half an hour after taking a tab and aren't a problem unless I'm trying to eat. I do have vivid dreams, but I always have those so I haven't noticed a difference. My heart rate has dropped about 10-15 points, but that could be due to quitting nicotine.

I will say that for me it's not a magic pill that makes this effortless like I've read about. I still have thoughts about buying a vape and getting the buzz after not using one for a while. I still sometimes try to trick myself into thinking that vaping isn't that bad and that I should just pick it back up. So I have to catch myself and remind myself that I'm committed to quitting and that I don't want to be a slave to nicotine anymore.

I think the cytisine takes away most of the physical and mental effects of withdrawal and allows you to focus on changing your behavior and thought patterns. If you haven't slept great for 3 nights, can't think straight, and are pissed off at everything on top of having cravings, it's easy to give up and convince yourself to buy a vape to end the misery. If you don't have those symptoms and all you have to deal with are cravings, it's easy to muster up the willpower to push through and stay committed. I feel like I'm able to choose to quit instead of slogging through torture waiting for the day I feel normal.

I 100% recommend cytisine, IT IS MAGIC! Just know that everyone reacts to medications differently so you may need to put in a little more work than people make it out to be on here. Can't wait to come back and post about being 30 days clean. Then I'll look forward to day 365!

[IIL] If I like the albums "Naked" by Talking Heads and "The Rhythm of the Saints" by Paul Simon, what else will I like?

Favorite songs from the albums:

(Nothing but) Flowers - Talking Heads
Totally Nude - Talking Heads
Born at the Right Time - Paul Simon

I'm well aware that both albums heavily feature latin rhythms. I like latin music a lot, but the Latin music I've heard doesn't incorporate the guitars like these albums do, and don't have that 'laid back' feel to them.

I'm basically looking for albums or songs that give off the vibe that I'm dancing drunk on the beach without a care in the world, while also not being too on the nose about just getting wasted by the ocean (a la Jimmy Buffett). Music to listen to while sitting on a porch by a lake and just enjoying the moment that also compels you to dance like an idiot. The kind you play when you're lighting up the grill at 4:00 in the afternoon on a Sunday with all your friends coming over to hang out in the backyard and you start to feel your hips moving.

Artifacting from bad topology on a muppet head

I'm trying to create a muppet-style head and I can't seem to be able to create the proper topology as I'm always getting these artifacts in the corners of the mouth. Does anyone have any tips on modeling a simple head like this? All of the examples of muppet heads like this done in 3D software I've found online don't show the wireframe.
