Couldn't agree more. If you make the decision to drive drunk and then injure someone you should never be allowed to drive ever again.
I liken drinking and driving to attempted murder because you very well could murder someone doing that. The fact that the penalties are so low is why this keeps happening.
If you risked 20 years in prison every time you drink and drive it would happen a lot less. This is pretty much the one instance where I think the fear of punishment should out-prioritize rehabilitation because the act is just so egregious and preventable.
@anothercatgirl the parking lots should in fact be 5 blocks away from the bar and in between should be a Taco Bell, a car service dispatcher, and a small police station.

This will not fix anything except the problem of not enough people in prison. Countless studies have shown that after a certain amount of punishment, anymore is functionally useless. In addition you have to factor in the chances of getting caught. If I have a better chance of winning the lottery then getting caught speeding, then the consequences for speeding aren't going to factor into my decision to speed.
The only thing that will reduce drinking and driving at this point is reducing driving, period.
I honestly can't think of another form of murder/homicide/negligence causing death, that results in almost no consequences for the one responsible.
Here in Canada, people will be charged with everything EXCEPT the death of the person killed. If they get charged at all!
A few years ago, a truck driver killed a cyclist in Toronto and got nothing for it. A $2000 fine, six months license suspension, and 100 hours of community service. That's what a life is worth.
Did everyone gloss over the part where she was drunk?!?
Whilst in hospital, Casey provided a sample of blood which was tested for alcohol content and found to be over the legal limit for driving.
How she only got 20 months of jail time is beyond me... Also were all the relatives in the car children? I'm assuming so because otherwise why were they letting her drive?!?
I recently switched to Jellyfin and I've been pretty impressed with it. Previously I was using some DLNA server software (not Plex) with my TV's built-in DLNA client. That worked well for several years but I started having problems with new media items not appearing on the TV, so I decided to try some alternatives. Jellyfin was the first one I tried, and it's working so well that I haven't felt compelled to search any further.
the internet seems to feel it doesn’t work smoothly with xbox (buggy app/integration).
Why not try it and see how it works for you? Jellyfin is free and open source, so all it would cost you is a little time.
I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software)
Can you install apps from Google Play on this TV? If so, there's a Jellyfin app for Google TVs. I can't say how well the Google TV Jellyfin app works as I have an LG TV myself, so currently I'm using the Jellyfin LG TV app.
If you can't install apps on that TV, does it have a DLNA client built in? Many TVs do, and that's how I streamed media to my TV for years. On my LG TV the DLNA server shows up as another source when I press the button to bring up the list of inputs. The custom app is definitely a lot more feature-rich, but a DLNA client can be quite functional and Jellyfin can be configured to work as a DLNA server.
I haven't spent much time tinkering with it but the plug-n-play xbox experience uses the joystick like a mouse cursor, not like the android-tv's joystick to select menus - which is obviously sub par
Years ago when my brother lived with me he started ripping DVDs and Blu-rays and running a Plex server that pulled them from a NAS. It worked great on the Xbox in the house. When I got married and he moved out it didn’t work as well, but that probably had more to do with his network connection than anything else. Haven’t even tried in years though.
I dont think you can selfhost media server on xbox, but both jellyfin and plex are amazing. If you want to run media server you should have x86 or arm based PC. Old laptop or desktop PC or SBC like raspberry pi is great starting hardware if you have one laying around. If you want to buy hardware lot of people recommend used SFFPC like intel nuc or lenovo thin client. You can run both plex and jellyfin server at the same time, they are quite lightweight and easy to install. If you want to share media with a friend plex is better option afaik, but I dont need that and like jellyfin more.
For a player, if there is no jellyfin for xbox, just use plex. Android tv supports both
I don't know how well the Jellyfin app for xbox works, but you can also install Kodi with the jellyfin addon I think. Or share your library via smb and connect to that directly with Kodi.
