I do this but with two trips exactly because of produce and such. I try to do a lot of fresh vegetables so like half my cart is usually produce but then I had to throw things away too often. Two trips seems like the minimum.

There’s a part of me that kind of feels like this could work if you just do it right. Like the idea is kind of cool, in a way.

Had a Windows PC hooked up to my TV in I think 2008, before streaming boxes and mass adoption of Netflix. Then it was dualboot for a while starting in I think 2015, originally with Ubuntu. Now it’s full time CachyOS Linux as of 2023.

It’s always been great. Wireless keyboard with the built in trackpad, plus originally 360 controllers but now 8BitDo Ultimate controllers. Plus I use it for homelab tinkering.

Sure, absolutely, but then people shame people for having a used one too so it’s just hot potato.

I don’t get the “just sell it” crowd. Your solution is playing hot potato with a car. Like someone is still getting that car. Unless you manage to sell it to Tesla themselves I guess, but it’s my understanding that they only take them on trade-in.

So the choices you’re proposing are: Sell a car so it’s now Someone Else’s Problem, which isn’t a great look for you. Or scrap a perfectly usable car creating a bunch of waste, which isn’t a great look for you.

Just let people have their old cars, geez.

There’s definitely something to this. Like I’m often scared to be part of any group because inevitably someone in that group will be an asshole. I have played video games for a long time but I refuse to refer to myself as a “gamer” because of the associations.

A little glass vial?

It’s not the homosexuality, it’s the hypocrisy. I’m hypocrisyphobic

The biggest problem with leaving it up to the states is that the party that is always harping on about states’ rights is a bunch of disingenuous liars who immediately start restricting states’ rights the second the state doesn’t do what they want.

It’s actually something that gives me hope in the world. LLMs are predicting the words they use based on being fed tremendous amounts of data. The fact that they’re having trouble getting them to parrot lies is a good sign that the vast majority of data sources are actually agreeing on the truth. At least that’s how I view it.

If I could make one wish to fix things, it would be to eradicate all externalities. Don’t get me wrong, I’m aware this would absolutely suck for a while. Without some kind of matching increase in wages or subsidies, it would ruin a lot of people that I don’t think deserve it. But when you have to pay for the cost of recapturing the CO2 you produce, when you have to pay for the actual cost of producing the plastic you throw away, we would very quickly get better alternatives. Biodegradable packaging would become more common. Alternatives to gas would explode. Interest in walkable areas and public transit would grow. Industries that really need disposable plastics are also rich enough to afford proper disposal, like medicine and electronics. After enough time, we’d just live in a better, cleaner world with less waste and more care put into our distribution networks.

We only have all the bullshit because they’ve been pushing the bill along to the next generation and the next and the next, and we are seeing the bill come due.

The Secret Service should be trained to arrest or assassinate the President if he openly violates the constitution.

Here’s why I still think of it as a win: It’s not just the contest between two people, or their ideas, or their backgrounds. What you really have to look at is the contest between the propaganda and the budgets. The simple fact is that a lot of voters aren’t that involved, they vote based on word of mouth or advertising, not by looking into the backgrounds of those they’re voting for.

Cuomo outspent Mamdani 4 to 1. Billionaires and politicians went all out to attack Mamdani. Many painted apocalyptic pictures. If you look at those more distant contests, where someone won by a wider margin, I would bet that the advertising and endorsements weren’t so lopsided either.

This isn’t a win for Democrats or Mamdani, this is a win for word of mouth campaigning. This is a win for people being so sick of what’s on offer that many ignored the dire warnings of billionaires and politicians. That’s some good news I can get behind.

The DUI device will let you shift into neutral? I thought usually you had to turn the key to get it into neutral.

It’s really frustrating how often this gets framed as sexist, when it’s a totally different problem. I get why people would equate them but they are very different biological processes. Producing a baby is a complicated process, and there’s a lot of steps that we can intervene in to prevent it. Producing a million sperm is, maybe surprisingly, less complicated and it’s harder to target a specific thing and produce easily reversible results.

Men have had vasectomy on the table for a long time now. It’s just more serious than most forms of female birth control, in terms of implementation and recovery, still not foolproof, and not as easy to reverse.

Even more frustrating is that sexism definitely does exist and play a role. It’s just more about the human parts of the process, like dealing with medical staff, dealing with insurance, dealing with local, state, and now federal governments that want to bar access to women. Looking at the pill side is misplacing the anger.

Holy shit this is a real thing? The most braindead and out of touch marketing executive dreamed this up.

I would think with all that fiber you’d have the opposite problem…

One thing is prioritizing security. There’s a number of known flaws, of varying severity, which is why most people would recommend not exposing Jellyfin to the Internet.

Perhaps they could set up a second project, a Jellyfin meta-library, whose whole goal is to be exposed to the Internet. You stand that up, give it access to other Jellyfin servers, and it handles the work similar to STUN of connecting you to media on those servers. This would make it so people could share easier.

Sharing and remote streaming, plain and simple. I have no problem setting up accounts for friends, but choosing your server is a pain for some. But the bigger problem is that the first thing anyone will say is: Don’t expose Jellyfin to the Internet. That’s a bit of a problem.

And they’ll then say, “Oh it’s not so bad just set up wireguard and…” This is the ramblings of a lunatic. I’ve been working with tech a long time. Tech is my job. It is my hobby. I do all of it from repairing my own hardware to administering servers to running my own home lab to doing open source development. Wireguard is not friendly. It is not something I’m going to set up at every friend and family member’s house so I can share my library.

I’ve got a more secure but imperfect setup in sticking Jellyfin on the Internet behind a proxy that requires login. But this is not something most people are going to want to deal with. They want to stand up their server and then share it with people.

I mostly assume it’s one of those “don’t get crazy and get caught” situations. You let them taste some alcohol every once in a while so they don’t get weird ideas about it and go too hard when they get older. But we’re talking tastes, not shots. If they show up drunk with alcohol poisoning, I suspect you will have to answer some unfriendly questions to answer in all of the states. (Also, I mean, it’s bad for them. Don’t do that.)
