No but I am old.

I would disagree since getting a speaker with a “good” 10 or 12 inch driver is difficult or very expensive and impractical since those large drivers don’t do well with mids and upper mids. The Tannoy, Klipsch heritage line, and similar old school designs with large drivers all measure like crap.

My Revel F208 speakers don’t really need a subwoofer for music but having a 12 inch 500 watt subwoofer to support them for movies does add to the dramatic impact. My apartment neighbors haven’t complained so I assume they are enjoying the music and movies too.

That’s a rabbit hole I managed to avoid. I lived in Shanghai in the 00’s when you could still get nice counterfeit mechanical watches there. Then I got a nice Seiko mechanical watch but no matter what I did, I just didn’t love the auto-winding function. Then came the solar watches from Seiko and Citizen which were relatively cheap. Now I’m here with a smart watch and never looking back.
- Comment on Dinner is ready! 2 weeks ago:
D or G because those both can grow coffee.
Tough call though.
D is lots of different Chinese regional dishes: Shanghai style, south China styles, Xi’an Muslim styles, and all the different dumplings; Vietnamese food, Thai food, Indian food, Aussie and New Zealand wines, Aussie steaks, New Zealand lamb, Malay, Indonesian dishes, Cebu BBQ, plus Lebanese and Persian food. That is a lot of variety.
G gets you New Orleans dishes, California wine, Cali tacos, Tex Mex, southeastern USA BBQ, Low Country Boil, Mexican food, Caribbean food, central American, chocolate, and I am guessing Hawaiian dishes.
And now I’m hungry.

No one reads the damned article. France didn’t ban porn nor Porn Hub, they put in a place an age verification law and now PH is banning French IP addresses.

Yup. I used AirBnB when they first started and it wasn’t terrible but then it became a huge hassle. Don’t give me a list of chores and then I might get penalty fees if I don’t do them right. Plus all the other damn fees. I don’t even bother to look at ABnB any more

None of that is needed if the server app for plex works as intended.

Annually or sometime a couple times a year, rake the pine straw, have it bailed, then sell it to folks doing landscaping or have someone pay you for the right to do that.
In Georgia, roughly 100 acres of pine trees sell for around $1.5mil to $2mil when they are ready for harvest which is 15 to 20 years.

Unable to set up a working server for outside of the home network. Also, the UI is terrible and didn’t organize things well.

I tried Jelly Fin last month based on a thread here and it was a damned dumpster fire. As bad a Plex is for remote streaming, JF is far worse for the average person.
