Split ends and highlights?

My father was a drunk who liked to beat the shit out of his wife in front of the kids. Now he’s wasting away with Alzheimer’s and I’m waiting for his funeral announcement so I can piss on his grave.
He was a know-nothing failure of a human being when I was a child, and he’s certainly no better today.

Much easier to fall off a balcony than through a window. Convenient feature in Russian culture.
- Comment on 7 for me 2 weeks ago:
Exactly the issue for me. Wearing anything in bed just feels like I’m getting tangled up in fabrics.

These are indeed paid on delivery.

I’m curious what they have to say to that!

You didn’t do shit about the child rapists, Frankie. Turn that car around, you’re going the other way!

the curvature of Earth doesn’t exist for elves
Doesn’t it? Haven’t come across anything in Tolkien’s works that says this.
- Comment on pee was stored in the balls 2 months ago:
So very early in our development we’re just an asshole. Some people apparently never make it past this stage.

I never get invited to the fun parties. 🥺

Those tiled bathrooms have great acoustics for it.

Man-stink is like Brussels sprout?

True. I like a moderately musky guy, so that one didn’t occur to me.

Stinky? Try again with a good bottom who does their prep work first.

It’s me, the unfiltered military guy. Gonna need to see that proof again.
- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 3 months ago:
It was one of the main city schools, so I suppose they could have been. That place was a shithole, otherwise, despite the best efforts of some really good teachers with the misfortune of being stuck working there.
- Comment on Anon sets up a prank at school 3 months ago:
That, plus a school computer lab running without something like Faronics Deep Freeze (even my shitty Mississippi public school in the 90s had that or something similar), and the lack of permissions control that apparently allows student users to delete and restore program files at will is giving the story some real “that happened…” energy.

Accept the travel arrangements, then do your own thing instead of hanging out with the stiffs.

The period that’s supposed to go after the ‘m’ got deported to Colombia.
- Comment on So why did we stop worshiping the sun? 4 months ago:
We wouldn’t exist without the sun. It provides the energy we need to grow our food, and even to power our technology. Its existence is blatantly obvious. It answers prayers at about the same 50% rate as any other god. Just looking directly at the thing can harm you.
If I had to worship something, it’s certainly a very practical option.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 5 months ago:
If the days start cooling down at noon for you, you’re closer to the outlier set than me.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 5 months ago:
Ever notice during the summer the hottest part of the day is usually around 3 or 4 in the afternoon instead of at noon? Same thing, just on the order of months instead of a day.
- Comment on Any relations experts? 5 months ago:
I need to know if they have books! If you go home with someone and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ‘em!
I’m a proponent of literacy, by any means necessary.

Probably just a front for tech support scam call center anyway.

Yeah, I’m overdue for a PC rebuild. Once I save up for that, I’ll probably migrate the server portion of Plex to the new rig.

Excellent points. For my particular use-case scenario, x264 for 1080p works best for the users my library is shared with. I recently overhauled my library to get as much 1080p content into x264 as I could, and my friends have noticed a significant improvement in performance. I still have 4k content, but it’s mostly for me since my personal setup supports it. Since my NAS isn’t having to transcode literally everything now, it’s no issue if it needs to transcode a few 4k streams for my remote users.
I’m running a DS918+, so certainly not the newest model, but it’s still trucking. I was thinking about upgrading to a newer chassis model, but I see the newer ones have moved to AMD processors that don’t support hardware transcoding. Go figure.

I did make a generalized statement there, you’re right. My opinions on the matter are largely influenced by the TRaSH Guides, which are a primary source for file quality settings for a significant portion of people managing media libraries. Best practices for 1080p is x264 since it 1) can be direct streamed on the most number of 1080p devices (just because you can transcode a bunch of streams at once doesn’t mean you should), and 2) has video quality aspects that are important to consider if you’re concerned with anything more than file size.
With all the files in “proper” formats, my NAS has no issues direct streaming, and transcoding the few files here and there that need it.

Mine is hosted on a NAS. So no, not nvidia.
