I think that in order to explain my thoughts on this I want to explain how warehouses transport pallets of stuff with plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap for transporting/moving stuff is incredibly useful, but not how you might think. It’s not that the stuff inside is any safer than if you didn’t use it. It’s more that the stuff inside is incredibly contained and likely to hold it’s shape even if things start to break. Which means you won’t have a giant mess to clean up, and you can reasonably rely on it to support any other things stacked on top of your pallet.

This wouldn’t work for safeguarding your house, because if you’ve ever dunked something wrapped in Saran wrap you’ll notice that it’s not always water tight. Add extreme winds and the wrap will likely peel off and make things worse. I think you’d probably have a giant mess, and be no more protected than if you didn’t use any Saran wrap at all

Remember when the first modern warfare was called call of duty 4? I can’t wait to go full circle again

I have a friend who worked relatively high in big tobacco. He rationalized that his job is going to exist no matter what, and that if he takes it, he will be able to benefit and do something about it. I don’t know what he meant by doing something, but it didn’t seem to eat at him. But either way he only worked there for about 2 years before getting recruited somewhere else

The universal translator has always been a bit loose, though. If you apply that same scrutiny to the next generation, then every episode with Worf would never explain any of his Klingon culture without the words automatically translating to English.

This is how I’m thinking about it. Plus, I can buy the game and play it once it’s completed. There is no obligation to play it the second I download it

I will report that I have not tried uploading books via WiFi to my kobo, but I have had such simple and straightforward success by plugging the kobo into a laptop and simply dropping book files onto it like an external drive. Kobo handles the rest

I started with jellyfin, and eventually let my partner convince me to pay for a lifetime pass for Plex. Plex just has better functionality. Not only can I access my library from anywhere, the subtitles work without fiddling with different srt files, the error messages are much more descriptive, and I find the documentation for adding OTA antenna and DVR functionality much more comprehensible with Plex.

I like jellyfin for what it is, but Plex makes it all work with far less headache and much better support. So Plex wins, in my mind for now.

And with all that being said, I got my Plex lifetime pass a few years ago, so the value I have will not be the same as yours if you are just now starting to consider Plex, so I can understand why you might have a different opinion

I’m using for steam gaming mostly. I can’t get some of the more popular type games playing, and then also some stopped working. I’m afraid that I messed up some proton settings and I was thinking of switching to bazzite, but I want to actually know what I’m doing when it comes to configuration of my environment so that it takes as little tinkering as possible

Hey I would love an opinion on my build. I have a build with Linux mint I tried and it isn’t working as well as I would like

The real concern is the quality of the patches AI are making. If they are badly trained (i.e. learning with buggy code, which is all of it over time) then there is a possibility that it can introduce bugs that did not exist, or possibly do nothing to patch the bug, while adding incoherent code to an existing codebase

I will be downloading this and trying it later today!

I’ve been having issues with games on my Linux mint setup and if this doesn’t work I may finally switch to a different flavor os

I’ve been to both the Hofbrauhausen in Pittsburgh in the summer and Munich in the winter. The different seasons may have played largely into it, but they were very different vibes

Cockeyed.com

A blog of one dude in California and he’s been posting to his website since the 90s. He makes lots of art projects and plays elaborate yet harmless pranks on his friends. Once he was tasked with covering Dave Grohl in tin foil on MTV for some reason

Thank you for the recommendation. I’m trying to find what is worth watching on YouTube and this looks entertaining

As a software developer, it is a known best practice when you are using external software to use a specific version. Never use “latest” except in testing and development. Once it’s ready you pin it to a version ( which can be the latest version, just make sure to actually specify that version id). Then again I’ve never set up an *arr stack before

There are some behind the scenes clips of her collaborating on the bridge with other officers, nothing big. I do recall that some of the shots of the captains hands pointing to maps and such are bojolds’ hands, and they just kept it for the episode

Primitive technology. There are many imitators, but the original is a man on his own in Australia. His videos focus on building structures in the woods. Starting with river mud, he will make a furnace in order to make bricks in order to make a building to sleep in in order to use it for kiln drying for larger structures etc…

Be sure to watch with subtitles to read his explanation of things!

Edit to fix: he is based in Australia, not new Zealand.
