I’d rather spend 30-45 min watching a guy my age working in their homelab with enterprise equipment from the early 2000s than watch most modern movies

- Comment on why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall? 2 weeks ago:
I am a hobby photographer, and I am interested in some photo editing software, I heard great things about DoX Photo Lab, and wanted to check it out, I am not opposed to paying for software, if I get a perpetual license for a version, ok, they have that, looks good, so I try and find a trial version, ah, sweet they have that as well!
But I need to register to get access to download it…
Sigh…
Just allow me to get a trial version without registring, then I can decide later if I want it, I have bought several programs this way!
The only thing you will accomplish with forcing a registration on me in this case is a database full of temp emails…
STOP. DOING. THIS.

What is called a “Discord Server” isn’t a server as we know it, it is more of a hub of services that all runs on Discord’s systems.
- Comment on Why are entertainers paid so much? 3 weeks ago:
- The entertainment industry is not known to it’s job security, the earnings need to cover downtime as well.
- Agents, artists have agents who get them their jobs, from what I understand they are often paid a percentage of the fee that the artist charge, so not all money goes to the artists pocket. The agent also knows the industry and how much an artist is worth to the productions, if a movie has a famous actor, it can be a huge draw and vastly increase earnings, since the actor is a draw, they should be compensated well.
- When an artist gets well known in the industry, they have many more opportunities, so productions need to pay more to get the artist they want, this means booking a schedule way ahead in the future, blocking that time off from other projects.
- It can be VERY physically demanding to change their appearance from role to role, one role might require the actor to play an overweight character and shortly after that production wraps they may need to play a character in near physical prime.
Note that I am not an actor or artist, I am an IT guy who has little inside knowledge, though this should be a reasonable explanation of what is going on

In what way do you find glasses inconvenient due to cold?
Sure, there used to be an issue with glasses foggin up, but with anti fog coatings it is bot an issue I have experienced in decades.
Regarding headgear, I can see that being an issue.

As I noted, I have worn glasses since kindergarten, and that had never been an issue.
