Have you ever met the kind of people that keep rats as pets? I’m gonna guess that at least 1% of them have tasted rat milk.

It doesn’t appear that they’re asking for money so maybe your vibe detector is broken.
Boycotting Israel seems like It’s pretty obviously the right thing to do.

I guess coprocracy is just the fossilized remnants of kakistocracy.

No one’s trying to deny the Holocaust here. What the fuck are you even on about?

No for the concrete you use sugar, and for the steel… I don’t know maybe jet fuel or something.

Okay this seems like it makes the most sense. Maybe he sensed the ring was worth the risk.

Man I wish I fucking knew the context of this. Why did the guy come over in the first place? Where did the girl go? How did dude know instantly when he looked up at the guy while he was on his knee that he had to starch this fellow?

My sister and I take turns doing a lot of this, but she volunteered to teach mom Instagram. The consensus opinion is that this counts for two.

I got (attempted) robbed at gunpoint in my home one time. The only real warning we had was the dogs barking considering they never barked ever.
If the dogs hadn’t warned us, it might have taken longer to call the police and it could have taken them even longer than 1.5 hours to drive 6 city blocks to our house and arrest the concussed wannabe hardasses that tried to rob us.
Good dogs.

Water, apple, handful of nuts, Walk around for at least 15 minutes. If a headache isn’t on the way out then maybe try to shift the problem to your liver with some ibuprofen or Tylenol but it shouldn’t be the first thing people try.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video content to start including ads next year 9 months ago:
I remember when Plex was much more customizable, had plugins, and fully offline functionality.
When Apple TV relented and started supporting Plex, all of those features were striped away. UI customizability was the first to go, and you couldn’t even hold on to old versions because they were force updated and now required internet to work at all.
Then came the injection of ad supported streams that show up in searches as ‘movies and TV shows’ and my mother asks me why there are so many commercials because outside nonsense was reenabled on her app after an update. Adding channels to users screens and frequently re-enabling things despite users explicitly trying to disable them while requiring everything to be online all the time is not a good sign.
I love Plex. I have been a lifetime member for over ten years and building my homelab has been a fantastic learning experience and now career that would not have happened if I didn’t get into Plex. It’s a wonderful product, I do fear that lifetime members like myself are not driving the economic interests of the company though. They’ve already got my money, and to be fair I got much more than I paid for.

They are coming for Plex too, I fear it might be more insidious in that they will already have so much user data by the time they decide to flip the switch on people using it.
I’m hoping jellyfin or emby get to the interface quality and platform support Plex has so there is a place to go when Plex gets sucked under the tide.
- Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield 9 months ago:
It’s poorly optimized code, and the comments from the top brass has been “lol your PC sux” when they can’t even get it running right on their own hardware.
It’s not the variations of PC that’s the issue, it’s a design and quality control issue. Direct X and Vulkan are the bread and butter of PC gaming. Microsoft developed direct X to establish a common graphics framework for Windows and Microsoft game studio still fucked up working with it.
