ElderWendigo , to 196 in Category 5 Titty Rule

I've only ever watched the show in passing, as in literally just passing through the room. And it is painfully obvious in an instant that her character is the ONLY one that is pleasant, eloquent, intelligent, and kind in any appreciable degree. That's what's fucking sexy about her character.

Moreover, those other waifs don't even know what sex is, but that girl FUCKS with nerdy literary passion and will let you cry like a baby into that cleavage afterwards.

Just in time for Google to kill RCS and move on to something else.

That view of the driver, looking out from the front passenger side out the driver's window always makes me anxious for this reason. It's like Chekhov's gun. Why would they pick that angle unless the characters were about to get T-boned?

That one actually has some basis in reality though. My terminal still dings at me, it's just that having it ding too much is annoying and out of fashion now. Does no one else remember PCs piezoelectric beeping, even before you upgraded to an actual soundcard?

ElderWendigo , to Cybersecurity in Beware PowerShell: Too-helpful users tricked into ‘fixing’ their machines with malware

Hot take: to Most windows users (not you) probably shouldn't be able to access power shell or cmd.exe at all.

@ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works avatar

You could proyget pretty good bandwidth with a tube full of portable digital storage. Latency will suck though.

ElderWendigo , to Selfhosted in Home entertainment with NAS?
@ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works avatar

In my experience, 2 devices will ultimately save you effort and frustration. Anything you choose as a good NAS/seedbox will be unlikely to have a good from the couch interface or handle Netflix reliable and easily. A small Android TV box may have a much better interface, simple app setup, and support all the streaming services, but probably won't be very powerful or convenient to use as a NAS. The NAS is always on, plugged directly into the Internet access point, and tucked away out of sight and sound. The Android TV or Apple TV box is silent, small, and can be mounted directly to the Beamer/Projector.

Yes, Kodi exists and it's add-ons can bridge this gap. But I still think that a SBC NAS running Jellyfin or plex + an Nvidia shield with jellyfin, Plex, Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, amaon, etc. will be so much easier to setup, manage, find support for, and upgrade.

I have a similar setup even though my server has a direct HDMI link to my TV. I'm not a fan of viewing using the server it from the couch. Setting up IR remotes sucks always. And it's confusing for anyone but me to use. But if my Nvidia Shield dies or I'm having network trouble, VLC a pretty good backup.

Maybe they are illuminating their living room with the front end of a BMW.

Better yet, it's a Pimp My Ride style makeover that replaces those unused turn signals with a projection system for an instant drive-in movie experience.

@ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is gonna sound odd, but have you cleaned out the USB port lately? Weird stuff happens when pocket lint collects in there. I thought mine had a dead port until I picked out (with a non-conductive toothpick) the lint I didn't realize had accumulated.

ElderWendigo , to Technology in Self-Driving Tesla Nearly Hits Oncoming Train, Raises New Concern On Car's Safety
@ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not being able to identify a railroad crossing without a gate is a failing of the car not the train. Gated crossings are not guaranteed, nor should they be because they don't make sense for every situation in which roads and tracks cross.

    ElderWendigo , to Mildly Infuriating in Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk
    @ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works avatar

    If you can remove the alcohol from any "cocktail" and still have more than just flavored ice or a dirty glass, you were drinking slightly alcoholic mocktails the whole time.

    Old Fashioned mocktail is a cherry on top of a large ice cube that you've used to bludgeon some sugar and an orange.

    A Sazerac mocktail is akin to an empty glass someone just drink a sweet lemony drink from. You don't get the lemony drink, just the dirty glass.

    A margarita mocktail is salty lime flavored ice. This is basically a daquiri mocktail too, adding a strawberry seems popular.

    A Manhattan mocktail is a sweetened cherry in an otherwise empty glass.

    A mojito mocktail is a bit more substantial, minty sugar water with a hint of lime.

    A mint julep mocktail, again just minty sugar water.

    A white Russian mocktail is just a glass of cream over ice.

    A mimosa mocktail is just a nearly empty glass of orange juice.

    The non-alcoholic parts of a cocktail are rarely more than a quarter of the volume if they're made properly. Most cocktails are a half oz of sugar water and a citrus flavor. The other 2/3 of the volume (not counting the ice) is alcohol. Just order a soda, soda water (with or without a garnish), tea, or my favorite a Topo Chico and lime.

    Like every system? What's the actual distinction you're trying to point out?

    I think the more nuanced take is that we should be making "piracy" legal by expanding and protecting fair use and rights to make personal copies. There are lots of things that are called piracy now that really shouldn't be. Making "piracy" legal still leaves plenty of room for artists to get paid.

    This sounds remarkably similar to the attitude of that homophobic uncle crying about the gays shoving their lifestyle in his face by just existing. Maybe reevaluate your hang-ups.
