Jellyfin has a built in DVR. It works with HD Homerun tuners.

Forgiving my dad. He was a terrible father but he’s a good grandpa. We made amends and I’m glad to have him in my life.

Definitely more common in suburban areas with more single family homes or places with larger apartments.

That said, having to drag all your laundry down to the laundromat or building laundry is very inconvenient and sucks up a lot of time. I don’t miss that at all.

I had to sign up for a business account because of Cox’s data cap. Sadly they’re my only option and they suck ass.

eBay if I can wait a few days, otherwise O’Reilly’s.

That’s the real danger in my opinion. Trump is probably a malignant narcissist. Everything he does, he does for himself and his very thin skinned ego. This is sort of balanced out but he fact that he’s a moron and is easily manipulated. But, there are people right on his coat tails who are straight up malevolent and do things because they enjoy watching others suffer.

As bad as Trump is, it may get much worse after he’s gone and leaves a crater sized power vacuum in the GOP.

Am American. Can confirm. In general, we are dumb as shit.

It is. It always has been to one degree or another. We’ve just gotten really lucky and apparently that luck is running out.

I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, “Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that.”

But the executives kept demanding that we add “features” to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.

I guess my point is I’ve seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.

Reddit was never “mainstream social media”. Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.

If that’s true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.

Taxation without representation. Hmmm. Why does this sound familiar?

Wind blowing though pine trees.

I have this memory from when I was a kid. I was standing in the middle of the woods at my grandparents, watching big fluffy snow flakes fall around me. The only sound I could hear was a light breeze blowing through the pine trees. I don’t know why but it almost felt magical. To this day I still love that sound.

“I know a little German… He’s sitting over there.”

Single party states, where power is highly centralized and unilateral action is possible, lack the expectation that justice will be executed unmolested since the system responsible for executing it lacks the autonomy and authority to do so.

People sometimes complain about the constant “tug of war” that naturally occurs in more Republican governments but that’s simply a byproduct of the “Separation of powers”. It can make things long and drawn out but it at least helps prevent things like a legal system with a 99% conviction rate when there’s no conceivable way 99% of the defendants are actually guilty.

“Look at how much we’re winning! So much winning!” Frantically screams country currently seeking assistance from North Korea for a “three day special military operation” which is now in its third year.

I hear a lot of devs that don’t seem to get this.

No, Why would I spend a week coding something that I can create a pivot table and some charts for in an hour? Especially when if I code it myself, that means I now own and have to support my lovely new utility. Time is money and I’ve got way more important things to do than build custom reporting suites that no one except me is ever going to use.

Lol Google sheets has nowhere near the capabilities of Excel. They’re not even in the same class.
