Lori Maddox says that she lost her virginity to Bowie when she was 15, but she has also said she was in a relationship with Jimmy Page starting when she was 13/14, and that she lost her virginity to Page, which if true would mean she didn’t lose her virginity to Bowie.

Then you have to look at her changing story about the Bowie incident. She’s said it happened in 1972, but then she also has said he propositioned her in 1972, but they didn’t have sex until 1973, when she said she had dinner with Bowie and they were joined by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but Bowie didn’t meet John Lennon until 1974. Then she said they went back to his suite at the Hilton and had sex, but Bowie was staying at the Hyatt during his 1973 tour.

Another version she’s told is that she and Sable Starr went to the Beverly Hilton and found out what room Bowie was in and snuck in. There they convinced a tired Bowie to have sex with Maddox for 3-4 hours, then had a threesome with Maddox and Sable, who then snuck out. But in another telling of the story she has said that Bowie’s wife Angie walked in on them the next morning.

She also has issues with her story about sleeping with Mick Jagger, where she claims to have attended a 1975 recording session with John, Paul, Ringo, and Mick Jagger, and then had sex with Jagger immediately afterwards. The main issue is that the only Lennon McCartney jam session after the Beatles broke up happened in 1974, and Mick Jagger wasn’t at it.

None of this is to say she didn’t lose her virginity to Bowie when she was 14-15, but there are lots of photos of her and Jimmy Page from 1972-75 but none with her and Bowie.

It was a long time ago, and memory is unreliable, which could explain the inconsistencies in her different telling of the events, and I would not be surprised in both Bowie and Jagger had sex with underage people, but Lori Maddox’s stories aren’t the best evidence to hang them with.

In general, fire ant don’t bite, they sting. Not that it changes what a piece of shit the cop is, but I wish the headline was accurate to what happened.

Sure, but nowhere is the chance of winning the lottery greater than the chance of getting murdered. Even Singapore, which has the lowest homicide rate, is around 1 in 1,000,000.

I suppose if you classified getting a playback prize on a scratch off as a lottery win, but I doubt most people count that.

I agree that people shouldn’t be afraid of this stuff, but I think you underestimate the odds of winning the lottery and your chances of being murdered.

Around 32,000 homicides/year in the US. 333,000,000 people, so about 1 in 100,000.

Powerball odds are 1 in 292,000,000.

Quake III Arena also had a native Linux version.

And Quake, Quake 2, Descent, UT, Tribes 2.

Give Canada some respect, DR Congo didn’t even exist until after WWII.

The iPod was so derivative of the creative labs mp3 player that Apple ultimately had to pay them $100 million.

The Lisa and later the Macintosh copied from xerox. Something that everyone was doing around then. Amiga and Atari ST both had guis. Hell even the commodore 64 had Geos. The Mac didn’t even get color until 1987.

Handspring had a smart phone, complete with touch screen and apps, years before the iPhone.

Mac os didn’t have proper multitasking until version 7.5, years after Windows had it.

Onkyo created the first true wireless earbuds.

Yeah, but they do sometimes take a cut off the top.

Doesn’t Australia include the tax in the listed price of the item instead of adding it at the end?

Get yourself a blade bank and put your used blades in it. They are a cheap and safe way to dispose of your razor blades.

Oh, is that Vikings Love Boat docudrama finally getting made?

I feel like you’re confusing intelligence and education. There are plenty of smart uneducated people, and quite a few educated stupid people.

Intelligence exists, it’s just hard to measure.

That was my teenage go to, except I used Ragu PizzaQuick because I was trashy.

I usually go with over medium eggs on toast.

Not low carb, but still tasty.

Steam deck 2: episode 2

The bigger issue is that if you decide to convert to whatever new lossy format might become popular in the future, it will be worse to convert from lossy to lossy than from FLAC to lossy.

I use FLAC to archive my CDs and convert to mp3 to listen to them on my phone, in my car, etc.

I ripped all my CDs to ogg vorbis and then, after a few years, I went back and reripped to flac. Now I transcode to mp3 if I have to for portability.

I thought the sun will become a red giant, and the earth will eventually be pulled into the sun. Which I believe will still leave most of our atoms intact.

Which makes the lack of an android app all the more shitty. They have one already but refuse to make it available if the device isn’t connected to a TV.

Then you get into the actual layout of the program. Spoilers are a huge issue. I can’t watch a game later without having the game ruined partially. Sure you can switch off scores, but you still have to scroll through game highlights to get to the full match replay.
