I finally put my rack on a dedicated 20A breaker and replaced the old ups that was failing with a new (to me) ups that keeps things going much longer
I don’t mind doing electrical work but any time I have to open the panel I get a little nervous. Glad to have this done
They get high on the propellant (usually difluoroethane), basically, enhanced by hypoxia
Nitrous oxide (“whippits”) is a whole other thing that is very much a grey market drug dealer “this should probably just explicitly be legal at this point because the hoops people jump through are kind of silly”. Like if you’re into cooking nitrous oxide chargers are a valid thing to own for making whipped cream and such so headshops often stock huge tanks under the guise of “for culinary use only”, just like how people only use bongs for tobacco, right
As if he hasn’t been drawing the same basic picture 500 times a day for 50+ years. He can probably draw and color a perfect Garfield strip blindfolded with a broken arm.
It’s like one of those Chinese artisan teapot makers that’s 70 years old. When you watch a video of them making a teapot it looks so simple and elegant but you know that ability to make such deliberate and precise action comes from basically making 100 teapots a day for 50+ years. Then you see that laminar flow and the intricate detailing and you’re like oh my god I want that and you search it up and find out a proper one from someone like that is like $400 so you stick with your electric kettle that was $17.99.
He’s like the shitty banal grandma comedy version of that
we have a very good traditional bread that is served with a sauce or maybe flavored oil
Why is there an arch that distorts the text for the image in the center? You couldn’t just make the overall image like 10 pixels longer??
This is the inevitable next step. YouTube is looking at doing this too, where ads would be served as part of the same stream id as the content (eg your page wouldn’t refresh and the ad would be cut into the video itself) but they have to make the player work with changing states without refreshing the page across all platforms and it puts a lot more stress on CDNs (plus sponsor block would still be a method to defeat, although not as effective).
But integration of the ads more deeply into the content has always been the goal. That’s why product placement exists. The fault of commercials is that people can simply disengage - go to the bathroom, talk to friends, fuck around on phone, etc. but if the ad is part of the content they have to see it if they want to engage with it. You lose the ability to shill as effectively (unless you do the youtuber paid segment thing, which makes your ads programmatically skippable again eg sponsorblock) but you gain an ad that is practically unblockable unless the show is essentially censored.
Advertisers are scum. Destroy all advertisers. Admen are the cancer that destroy society. Every cool thing has advertisers encroach in on it once people realize how cool it is and then they destroy it - radio, tv, newspapers, books, the internet, literally any public space, etc. if you work in advertising you should be ashamed of yourself and your parents definitely feel like they went wrong somewhere
Plenty of people on here who can’t be bothered to read past the first 8 words of a comment because their brain is so rotted by tiktok and browsing reddit by all to only read the headlines.
If given a chance they will kill. To obtain that level of wealth one generally has to have a sociopathic level of lack of empathy. Maybe not all are like Trump and itching to blow people up and put people to death. A lot are probably less actively bloodthirsty (thankfully) but at the same time have no issue taking away your health insurance, your income, your housing, etc if it impacts their bottom line even though they already have enough resources to last 100,000,000 lifetimes in extreme excess.
“Oh but if they let these things change they would lose their wealth” exactly - when it comes down to it, they would rather leave you to die than risk losing their obscene wealth. So this is violence, and therefore violence is an appropriate response, especially when the state continually and repeatedly fails over decades (arguably from its inception) to rein them in.
Person you responded to said av1, I didn’t mean to imply you did. HEVC is good balance and quicksync will handle it as you’ve said. 10th gen stuff will handle 4-5 at the expense of more power (but less than like a typical gpu build).
Last statement you made is critical - usage dictates build
Just as long as you’re fine with your media server absolutely eating power all the time
Stop encoding in av1 and get a low power older intel chip around 10th gen or so with quick sync. Unless you have like 5+ users watching 4k media at the same time this will handle transcoding absolutely fine while using far less power than a dedicated gpu
3dtvs would’ve only had a chance if they were basically gigantic 3ds top screens
The glassesless 3d effect would be the only way. But then you have the issue of the display is then compromised in other ways (rainbowing, contrast issues, softer definition, etc), is more expensive because it’s basically 2 panels laminated together, and is a lot of compromise for something that ultimately had very little content, which was the other issue.
I remember people dragging me to 3d movies and hating it because I’m blind in one eye and having to make the choice between wearing 2 pairs of glasses (other eye isn’t great) or basically sitting through a blurry mess because watching without the glasses was a nightmare (though it varied, sometimes it was 2 small copies of the movie side by side)
this is like that 4chan greentext about how you can’t watch porn if you’re a fragile straight because straight porn is gay since it has a naked guy and lesbian porn is gay because it’s actually gay
These people are morons but the ones at the top like him are psychotic. They’re purposely trying to get their “followers” isolated from anyone that may soften their views and talk sense into them. I’m sure Tate and similar “influencers” know tons of incel/mra/nofap/redpill/mde/etc types that buy into this shit soften their views considerably (and stop buying and watching shit) when they finally get a partner
This was not worthy of an apology. You’ve done nothing wrong. Who has hurt you? Make them pay.
Thanks for clarifying though! That’s a cool ass word. For clarity I am using the slang “cool-ass” not cool “ass-word”. But it’s less syllables and while both are accurate to what the thing does I think calling attention to the beam of light is cooler, personally.
Also, you may be well aware of this but “handy” is slang for getting a wiener tug and I think I’d giggle a bit every time someone used that terminology. “Oh did you get a handy” they’d say, as I come home from the Vodafone store. “I am not so skilled as to get such a thing from the clerk. I merely got an iphone”. I would laugh at my own jokes, but no one else probably would.
Thanks for going on this journey with me. Sorry if it sounded like I am mocking your language, that is not my intent. If anything I would mock English, as it is the dumbest language and only getting dumber by the day (6-7!)
What’s a beamer? When I search online it just says it’s a latex document class, which is not a loanable item, or a slang term for a bmw, which would imply a very upscale library
In private company they call you slurs behind your back
Do you use one towel or a fresh towel everyday.
I have a fresh towel everyday. My current partner thinks I am absolutely insane for this. A 6 pack of basic decent bath towels is $35 shipped online. My partner came from a more affluent family than me and makes more money than me but I still think this is worth spending $35 on once every like 5-7 years until the towels wear out.
Their argument is that you come out of the shower clean but that’s not really true. You come out less dirty still with bacteria, skin mites, dead skin cells, fungi, etc that get transferred to that towel. It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days assuming the towel dries in between uses (which it may not, given the humid environment of a bathroom, especially if shared), that you don’t have weird situations going on (athletes foot, bacterial acne, etc), and that you’re not sharing it. But why bother when again a weeks worth of towels is like $40 and slightly more laundry. Yuck
This is a good point. Home assistant is not going to work for your application
Check your shit then bc it’s a long page with docker containers and venv distributions, blog, about, sources, etc.
That said I don’t know this project. I do know home assistant though. If you want voice control at home that is secure use that. You can use their hardware or different hardware. The important thing is voice commands can be processed entirely locally, eg without internet access.
My iot setup, including voice commands, is restricted to a physical switch that has no internet access and itself is on an isolated vlan. I can view cameras remotely by forwarding the service through headscale, which is only turned on when necessary. It’s not a perfect system, nothing is, but it’s essentially airgapped when I am home and I do not have to worry about “cloud servers” with rogue employees that look at unencrypted data (which is sold as encrypted but often only encrypted in transit but unencrypted at rest so they can sell you out to the cops) or lazy cybersecurity staff that leave gaping holes in their massive targets for ransomware attacks or whatever
I would bet money that drive is done. Cable would be udma crc errors, not media failure. Drive made it 11 years (even if power on time is only about half of that)
