  Its legal here in Oregon but I know there are some restrictions especially surrounding cognition. Not sure if you could set something up now but “use” it later considering OP’s situation.

  I’ve given it like half a dozen tries and can’t get through the first season of Babylon 5. Maybe the 7th time is the charm after I finish Dark Matter.

  Agreed. My wife and I are doing pretty well and we don’t even make anywhere near $150/hr combined. Maybe in the Bay and NYC that wage would make sense but not most places.

  Looks pretty decent and I hope things work out for them with their Kickstarter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to agree. I’m not happy about anything getting locked down, but what they’ve done for the industry in just a few years is absolutely insane.

  I was (and still am) quite glad to dump my old bed slinger that I’d spent the previous three years tinkering with and upgrading because despite all the time and effort spent on it, it was still slow and unreliable. With my X1C, I literally don’t even bother checking my prints until it’s time to unload because after 14 months of almost daily use, I can count the number of failed prints on one hand and it prints so well (plus AMS) that I’ve been able to sell prints and recoup everything I paid for the thing.

  Even if the company goes to shit in 5-10 years it doesnt matter because they’ve raised the bar quite drastically and everyone else is taking inspiration from it. I can buy a new printer in 2035 from whatever company is consumer friendly at that point, but for now I’m enjoying the hell out of this thing. Parts are cheap, filament is cheap (and not restricted), prints are quality and quick, and it’s always ready to go.

  Prusa’s 5 toolhead kit costs more than I paid for my X1C with AMS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That may be how it turned out in the end, but that story arc is absolutely not why 7 of 9 was added as a character on the show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How is that an idiotic take? I watch a ton of YouTube and none of the channels I regularly watch rely on clickbait to push their videos. You could use this same argument to justify it anywhere including ‘regular’ journalism meaning there is no example where clickbait is unacceptable using this logic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At the end of the day he’s running a business and has had lots of financial success with this type of “product,” so it makes sense to focus your efforts on said product going forward.

  I like that he’s exposing corruption, but question his motivations and use of clickbait. I’m not really passing judgement on him either way and things don’t always have to be black and white, “good” or “bad.”

  Do you have something to add? Asking if my stated opinion is “what I think” in three different ways isn’t really contributing much to the conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, i don’t really have an opinion either way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive also only seen a few videos of his over the last few years but it seems like he’s recently had some wildly successful videos based off exposing corruption in the PC/tech industry and has morphed his channel from tech reviews to some sort of investigative journalism chasing that high he got from said viral videos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To install a new outlet with a dedicated circuit do they have to cut the drywall all the way from the electrical panel to the outlet?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen people cut strips from the bottom of the wall so that you can run it through a bunch of studs (say from the left side of a wall to the right) so that you can drill through all the studs and patch the drywall with a single piece.

  I set Radarr/Sonarr to download original language and just bite the bullet with subtitles as I’ve found very few dubs that aren’t completely atrocious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring on Switch 2 Is a Disaster in Handheld Mode - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My gripe with the game besides getting my ass handed to me on the regular is that it’s way too massive yet still quite empty. Having to wander around exploring and finding nothing but some plant material is quite boring. I think my favorite layout has been DS Remastered where the Firelink Shrine is the hub with many spokes leading out into different areas that you definitely shouldn’t go until later.

  I wound up losing interest jn the game and buying Demons Souls which has been fun and more like the Dark Souls and Bloodborne that I’m used to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be weird to ask my brother if I could tag along when he goes out with his friends?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this opinion and it entirely depends on their individual relationship. I would just warn to be conscious of boundaries and to not pressure the brother too hard on the subject. My concern would be OP shifting the burden of building a social life onto little brother as if his duty.

  And the Patriot Act was only implemented to catch terrorists. What’s considered “pornographic content” is entirely subjective and up to the personal feelings of a particular judge.

  Well they already have a leg up with the TAKE IT DOWN Act that Democrats worked with Ted Cruz and Trump to get passed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you’re really limited to one or the other. You can pool all your media in the same place and then point different services at it. I don’t listen to my crusty old downloaded music much these days, but, for example, I used to have Plex and Emby running side by side for years to watch movies/TV without issue. These services don’t consume that many resources so you can try multiple options until you find something you like and then remove the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jonathan Frakes Surprised ‘Strange New Worlds’ Star Trek Spoof Was Controversial; Talks Directing ‘Academy’ And More⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not judt costs but the production schedule for the actors and crew. 23 episodes is one every 2 weeks with just a couple weeks off for the entire year. This also lead to a lot of garbage filler episodes regardless of the series. I do prefer more that 8-10 episodes but 20+ is a bit much too.

  What should that universal layout be though?

  Just a picture of 3 of the 4 buttons with one highlighted (e.g. left/right with bottom highlighted) would be simple enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you do have a point about the replayability of music versus movies but at the same time I share my server with about two dozen friends and family so its good to have some variety in there along with having a good selection for when you get that random thought about a movie and want to watch it rather than spending 20 minutes finding and adding it to your server

  Radarr and sonarr also handle the naming and organization but this all relies upon the files being properly named which can be a chore with music as you regularly see remixes, sample albums, compilation albums, singles, covers, extended play, radio play, censored, uncensored, etc not to mention the quantities of songs out there by artists of varying popularity, which is the root problem with music databases not always finding a match, matching incorrectly, or your downloaded album having songs from multiple different sources that the uploader lumped together. You very occasionally run into this with movies too but its typically because TMDB or whatever source not matching the studio on the release year when a release is delayed.

  This probably isn’t much of an issue for you if you’re ripping your own music but that’s becoming more and more rare these days with the transisition away from physical media. I actually bought a blu-ray RW drive for my PC with the intention of ripping DVDs and Blu-rays but gave up because of the work involved (encoding in HandBrake) if you wanted anything but Remux quality.

  I honestly wish the days of Napster came back, but I have had good luck with SoulSeek and have read that its possible to integrate with Lidarr but haven’t tried yet. Im sure things will get better in time as these streaming services try to squeeze their customers more and more.
