That TV was manufactured unethically.

Meanwhile, the gasoline produced to support the native peoples of Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.

Stick Wins Every Time

You’ll notice the timestamp is cropped out, because this post is from the paleolithic era.

Fill them with hydrogen instead.

Even setting aside the high flammability, hydrogen is a bitch to store and transport.

You really just need something lighter than Nitrogen to get an object airborne.

Consider Ammonia or Methane instead.

I think there is probably reason for concern that asymmetrical warfare can be performed

I would be far less worried about Americans living in the Gulf Coast and far more worried about Cubans subject to US Total War on the island

Idk. What were the domestic consequences of our Contra War in Nicaragua?

Probably. Another case of lobbing a $500k artillery round at a guy who makes $200/mo.

Cuba ain’t Iran. There is no Cuban equivalent of the IRGC or trading network back door that extends to Russia and China.

When the hammer falls, we’re mostly going to see a lot of dead Cubans and a lot of fled Cubans.

The real risk that War With Cuba presents is a massive flood of refugees showing up across the Caribbean and Mexico.

Word is just a shitty application for text.

It’s fine. People love to shit on the app because Microsoft Bad. But it’s living at the rough midpoint of application quality, at least in it’s modern incarnation.

PowerPoint, likewise, is a shitty slide show application.

As a slideshow app, it’s another perfectly fine piece of software.

What’s disgusting about PowerPoint isn’t the app but the LinkedIn psychos who use it

Increasingly difficult to find sympathy for folks still clinging to Facebork, Shitter, and SpewTube.

Either swallow your dignity and eat the ad slop or stop using the services you hate so much. But I can only spare so much concern for someone who keeps going back to stick their dicks into the blender.

Sorry. Natural Gas Liquids. Some combination of methane, ethane, isobutane, and propane, which are compressed/chilled to a liquid state for transportation and used to power electric generators.

I think we’ll eventually see folks migrate to Jupiter Notebook style data entry and management. But they’re relatively new and not well-integrated into modern workflows.

For the time being, people are brought into offices and trained on Excel, get comfortable with Excel, and continue to use Excel because that’s how they spend the bulk of their hours. You’ve got networking effect and priors cementing these apps as the go-to for an entire generation.

I have a TV from 2019, it surely flies on that.

I’ve got a newer TV from 2021 and it’s great. On an older one from 2015 it surely does not.

Also curious what kind of bugs you are encountering?

Outside the latency, the biggest problem I have is matching shows to their metadata. Anything Disney related (Hocus Pocus, for instance) wants to tie itself to something totally random. Some anime (Frieren) refused to recognize the second season and keeps matching episodes to Season 01 titles/screenshots.

It’s not the end of the world, but it’s annoying and cumbersome. I’ve heard Sonarr/Radarr integration help, but then I’m down a rabbit hole of apps to support apps to support apps.

I just want something seamless and out of the box to organize my digital library, not a second job doing IT work to support a miniature Netflix.

Jellyfin just flies

Idk about “flies”, but it’s tolerable. On older TVs it remains clunky, but usable. Also, definitely has it’s share of bugs. But that’s FOSS for you. I’m not going $750 out of pocket for it.

Business friendly energy hungry state with enormous plots of undeveloped real estate does the logical thing.

Incidentally, NGL plants are being built out rapidly in Texas for a tangential reason. Unlike with coal, an NGL plant can turn itself off and on quickly and easily. Consequently, when the sun is shining, NGLs can turn off rather than selling electricity into a cheap market. And when it is night/overcast, they turn on to make up the difference

Wife most likely doesn’t want to hear about this shit and husband will deny it to his last breath.

Like, you can. But you usually want to save it until you’re halfway out the door.
