Ok, how the hell could anyone get those wrong, and moreover, confuse them with the ones listed? There’s only a handful of lyrics I’ve ever gotten incorrect and I can’t think of them as I type this, but they had reason to be confusing, unlike these examples which are clear as day. My wife also had one case: AC/DC’s Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. She thought for a long time that the line was “dirty deeds in the thunder jeep,” which would actually fit with original singer Bon Scott’s lifestyle, so I’ll give her that one as that could have legitimately been an alternate lyric.
yea the list has some silly ones and is missing a few on there that I know are commonly misheard such as Toto - Africa and Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone.
I feel so stupid. Here I was going along thinking that phones and tablets handled application updates the same way computers do. Either overwriting the old data with new or uninstalling the old and installing the new, thus maintaining the size of the application or program. But no. Apparently phones and tablets just install the new data alongside the old thus bloating the size of the app to a ridiculous degree. I couldn’t understand why Instagram and FB Messenger were about 4gb each, when my sister, who recently bought a new phone said her Instagram app was only 700mb. So I uninstalled both of them and then reinstalled them from the app store and lo and behold Instagram and FB Messenger are now both under 200mb. I don’t know if it works the same on iOS, but I would bet it does. Planned obsolescence is annoying AF.

I would have never thought the mobile connection may be worse in UK than in Ukraine.
With local network I can’t even make a video call from a heart of the city back home.
It just doesn’t work. Which is absolutely ridiculous!
I want to believe that we just been unlucky to choose wrong operator and the other one(s) offer better quality service.
I’m going to go to another brand store to try a different network and hope it will work better so I could at least do a video call from one of local parks

So as a total outsider to everything you have experienced, it’s actually nice to see you bellyache a little about what is clearly a first world problem. “Oh man the Internet isn’t fast!” While we have all been there, and it totally sucks, it’s certainly better than not having service bc there is a god damn war going on and know that you’re not wondering if your front yard will soon become a combat zone.”
I’m probably not getting my point across well, but what I am trying to say is I’m just happy you are somewhere safe and can now worry about things like Internet speed instead of artillery rounds.

Well, we’re still in contact with those back at home but they say it’s more or less quiet there so we can abstract a bit from all things going on there. They are safe and it’s the most important for us.
But they occasionally call us on some messengers to have some talk and almost always they find us outside, and the connection is not good, we almost always can’t talk because of this.
Also sometimes we just want to show them some sights and surroundings by video and we can’t do that on same reason.
And calls over messengers via Internet are much cheaper (well, free) than by traditional cellular where roaming is involved, so…

Alaska has the ability to tell a person they can not drink. If this happens to you your drivers license/state ID will say “alcohol restricted.” Selling/giving booze to these people will end your liquor license. << because of this rule US Passports can not be used to enter a bar up there.

Do you need to have a history of DUI or something to suffer such punishment, or how do they decide?

From what the bartender explained to me it’s nearly always bc of a DUI, but other alcohol related offences can trigger it.
He said most often what happens is you get a DUI or maybe not your first DUI and they take your license. Then you protest and say “but I need to drive to work,” and so you get a restricted license and now can’t drink drink at all for however long the punishment is.
I just thought it was interesting bc when I walked into the bar and they checked our licenses they weren’t interested in our birth year (we were all clearly over 21 but most places have a 100% check policy). He was looking to see if we had an alcohol restriction. I told her Illinois doesn’t have such a thing and he replied “no one does except us.”

I found out that the Cheyenne Mountain Complex used as the headquarters on the Stargate television shows is a real place in Colorado. In real life it has been used to monitor American and Canadian airspace by NORAD, the Air Force, FEMA and Space Force.
They’ve even renamed a broom closet “Stargate Command”. 
It is also the place where baby Aloy is found in Horizon Zero Dawn.

I just found out that all the drugs used as “truth serums” from the 1920s to the 1960s came about because a doctor named House (no bullshit) discovered that when using one of those drugs to help pregnant women, they lost inhibition when speaking, and the guy’s first thought, believe it or not, was not how to use this drug to further lower inhibitions on non-pregnant woman to get them to sleep with him, but to give over the info to law enforcement to help reduce the number of wrongful convictions. Turns out that backfired though, because while the “truth serums” do make you blab more than you would without them, it does nothing to ensure what you are blabbing about is truthful, so Dr. House (still no bullshit) probably ended up unintentionally sending a whole lot of innocent motherfuckers to prison. Turns out the best way to determine if someone is telling the truth is the same as it has been throughout human history: get them pants-pissingly drunk and see if their story stays the same.

Retired members of the French Foreign Legion who want or need a place to stay can live on a vineyard owned by the Legion itself and just hang out and make wine all day. They have to stay single and part of their pension goes to keep the place running. It’s basically like they are still in the military only now they make wine. About half the bottles produced are consumed by the legion and the other half are sold to finance the retirees.

Hi mates, I found out few information which is related to PS4 and PS5 console:
- You can buy/play most of the PS4 games in PS5 console. This includes your existing games.
A few games may not be played which will be indicated in your game library -
- No tag: can be played
- Down arrow tag: can be played if downloaded
- Lock tag: can be played if disc is inserted
- Close tag: cannot be played (rare cases)
-
You can insert and play your PS4 Game disc on your PS5 console. Make sure you have the disc edition console - make sure the disc is not inserted upside down (it is quiet confusing).
-
You can download and play your PS4 digital games in PS5 once you login to your existing PS4 account - make sure to visit the Game Library app.
-
You can connect your PS4 dual shock controller to PS5 console using a trick shown in youtube. However you can only play PS4 games and cannot play PS5 games (this is because Sony wants to sell PS5 controller
). -
You can play the PS4 games in PS5 console with a PS5 controller - the experience is better.
-
All your trophies and last saved games from PS4 will be automatically migrated to your PS5 games if the game is online (tested with Hitman and Ghost Recon Breakpoint).
Hitman Specific:
-
If you have owned Hitman on PS4, you can check game library and download them including all dlc.
-
As I am having the PS4 disc version, there are three option for Hitman -
- PS5 version (online)
- PS4 version World of Assasination (online)
- PS4 disc version World of Assasination (once you insert the disc).
- You will get all your contents, save files, progression, trophies automatically in PS5 console.
I have kept both the brothers together, the younger one is taller and the elder one is still active and smoothly working (bought on July 2016).
PS4 console codename: Black Panther 
PS5 console codename: White Rhino

That PS4 having that cloth on it… Would this be to keep dust off of it? I don’t have a PS4, but if there are any holes or vents the cloth might cover - you may want to remove it. I had a console that I thought was so special that I’d put a cloth on it to keep dust off of it. Some weeks after it wouldn’t play any games. It would start and go to the CD player, but that wouldn’t even work. I never really found out why it did that - but I could only guess it was due to the cloth I kept on it that made it or something in it overheat. 
Then again, if you’ve been doing that for a long while already - then maybe there’s nothing to worry about.

There are plenty of Cross-Gen games that you can upgrade for free from PS4 to PS5 version you can already check out. It even works for discs, but you’ll still need the disc to access the PS5 version download…
PS5 versions of games are usually smaller in size (there’s a better compression system & the way the SSD works streamlines loading) and are compatible with the adaptive triggers and high-quality haptic feedback rumble.
Some frustration in this comes from games that can’t import/share save data, meaning all your progress on a game could be stuck on a PS4 copy. Or, games that don’t have the same DLC on PS5, due to some licensing deal. (Control had pre-order exclusive outfits and a bonus PS4-exclusive mission, but they are nowhere to be found in the “Ultimate Edition” release)
The PS5 Hard drive is pretty small, so you might want to look at investing into a 1TB or more External Drive… you can have all your old PS4 Games install into that specific drive, leaving you way more space on your actual console for the PS5 games (that can’t be installed off-console)

@Tetrafish_21 Thanks for the useful info, the cloth is a dust cover, I sometimes forget to remove it while playing, luckily the console is all right. There are some service center which repairs the console, maybe you could give it a try.
@TheChicken Thanks for the adfitional information which is quite helpful. By the way, I am enjoying the Astro Playbot, thanks for recommendation.
