Except I didn’t pay a monthly fee for over the air TV. The Jeffersons didn’t cost 4.99 a month
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 8 hours ago:
Speaking of Hulu, does anyone know a way to get Hulu working on OSMC or other media player. Netflix works via API and keys… I can’t get other streamers on there correctly which pisses me off to to end.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
Legal items aside. My wife has my back and I have hers. Having a partner in life you can trust with yours is a special thing.
It doesn’t have to even be man and woman. I know a group of older men who have a group dynamic where they are all basically each other’s partners…not sexually, just supportive.

- Comment on NVIDIA to Manufacture American-Made AI Supercomputers in US for First Time. 4 weeks ago:
Can’t wait to see what the cost will be once you figure in American labor, American benefits, 401k, etc … This isn’t foxcon where workers will accept Nvidia dollars good only at the Nvidia grocery store around the corner from Nvidia apartments

- Comment on Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’ 1 month ago:
Crashing the stock market may be the plan here. Follow me on this …
Crashing the market and removing 20 to 30 percent of value.
Then at the low point invest heavily into the DOW.
Now support the market and get it back to previous levels.
Fucking rich fucks just made 30% in 1 to 2 years on that investment.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 2 months ago:
So property tax I am ok with, in theory. The people with property in a city should pay for services like fire, schools, police, road maintenance… What gets me is when the city wants more and more for stupid shit like iPads for all students… Every 3 years due to forced upgrades or just old style deprecation over 3 years.
The amount my taxes go up each year is more than any raise I get. Then add on insurance which has gone insane. I paid off my house to avoid a 20k female flood insurance bill because a 1 foot piece of concrete touched a high risk flood zone. A technicality because if I took down a screen patio, then I wouldn’t have to pay.
It’s insane how expensive owning a house has become

“In some parts of the city, you can’t even park your car anymore without downloading an app.”
Omg, this. I left my phone at home by accident and quickly found out that I could not pay a meter on the area I went to … You had to download an app to pay or use you phone to register a phone number and manually enter a plate and credit card.
No phone…meant no parking.
Good luck too if your phone happens to run out of battery.

Same result for me. I’m sure I can buy thimbstick caps or something to cover them.

I went to use my old PS2 the other night after many years. The controllers thumpads had turned into this sticky, rubbery, goo. Gross. I couldn’t play it

- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 7 months ago:
I get more benefit from a good IDE that helps me track libraries, cars, functions, grammar checks my code, offers a pop-up with params and options…
I don’t needcode I would grade as a D- from an AI. Most of what I write comes from my code closet anyway. I have skeleton code for so much, and I trust my old code more than AIs new code
