Standing by your bed while you’re asleep and berating you isn’t manipulative?

Nah, to needs to leave, now. No sense hanging around to see what this escalates to. Not worth putting in the effort for someone who’s demonstrated they need to grow up.

Her standing by your bed and behaving like that is childish and she’s demonstrating manipulative behaviour.

Laugh tracks were extensively used long before the Fran Drescher thing though?

Nearly every show I watched from the 60’s to the early 80’s used them. It was noticeable when there wasn’t a laugh track.

Look into your municipality’s recycling process, see how it’s done, what the inputs are, what the total energy use is, etc, etc.

I’d bet a year’s salary it’s far less effective (if at all) than most people think.

“Recycle” was/is a marketing grift developed by the oil industry in the 70’s. It largely isn’t effective.

As someone else mentioned, aluminum (and steel) are very recyclable, and are already extensively recycled in manufacturing (don’t forget that reusing scrap within a factory is considered recycling).

Everything else largely isn’t, yet. Glass is very recyclable, but the transport costs are exorbitant, so I suspect it’s a negative for things like drink bottles, while the energy costs on most plastic recycling makes it not yet viable, from what I’ve read.

Someday, just not today.

If the 3 R’s, Reduce is the one that truly makes a difference.

I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.

720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.

Static IP address and Dynamic DNS can expose your network to attackers on the internet. With Holesail, you expose only the port you choose.

Er, wut? If you’re exposing a port, then your public IP is being used, as a port is a subset of an IP interface. So even Holesail uses the public IP in some way…thats how the internet works. Unless they’re only making outbound connections, which isn’t a new idea at all - Hamachi was doing it 20 years ago.

This sounds like FUD to me - of course your public IP is used, whether static or dynamic. How do they supposedly mitigate this risk?

There’s nothing on the home page saying how it works, or how it’s different than current solutions.

I’m intrigued to see a new tool in this space, but this one is starting off leaving a bad taste. Even Tailscale admits they use Wireguard, and even have a comparison between Wireguard and Tailscale that’s pretty honest (though they focus on what Tailscale adds).

Being open and transparent is a minimum today - anything less and it’s not worth the time for a second look.

My takeaway: jetflix developed a model that worked. Just need to replicate that many times.

Would probably work well for sharing with family /friends.

Guess we’d need to qualify it with more in our personal libraries that we actually want to watch. Lol

piracy run by a couple random schmucks has an infinitely better service AND content selection than the top 4 corporate streaming services combined"

FTFY 😁

because Mike, I swear to god, you keep clicking that pen and I’m gonna find a new home for it

Hahahahah, oh man, I hear ya!

Seriously, I’m as anti-social as they come, but I’ve learned the value of people being in the same space. It’s the way we’re wired, and no, calls/video/virtual stuff is no replacement.

And I’ve had a million random conversations between calls/meetings that have solved many issues, or provided opportunity for improving relationships, etc. These conversations just don’t happen when you’re remote - I say this as someone who’s worked hybrid since the 90’s - there’s no replacement for being in the same space. Again, I’m someone that finds being in the office exhausting - I’d rather be remote.

After 30 years of running windows boxes, I’ve never been hacked.

But I’ve lost thousands of hours to update fucking my shit up.

There’s also a huge value to people working in the same space.

Random conversations solve a lot of problems.

And I’m someone that finds being in an office around people constantly to be exhausting. I just recognize the value.

Did you verify the ISO checksum?

Doesn’t Maps or Google Earth have a time-line for places now? Thought it started 4 or 5 years ago, so it’s not everywhere yet.

Though I think that’s just fairly recent images and such. Maybe it permits us submitting really old info/photos?

You could probably set this up on a shared map, getting people to help/contribute/not be a troll would be the challenge.

Because even matching skill levels, males have greater strength, endurance, cardiovascular capacity, etc, ad nauseam. They have greater glycogen stores, which means they can perform longer, and they recover faster.

Growth plates are different, bone density is different. Muscle density and structure is different.

Just look at the high school boys soccer team that tromped an Olympic women’s soccer team.

Women have faster reaction times. They have a different/higher pain threshold. They can bear young.

This is just fundamental biology. Frankly it’s baffling to hear your nonsensical arguments.

And that’s without looking at cardiovascular differences, or even as subtle as glycogen storage.

Hahaha had me all the way till the end

Dammit dad. Fine, take it (the upvote that is)

Virtualbox has awful performance issues though.

Use a distro that has native KVM.
