Shit ice goes for $5-6 a bag here, that’d be a heck of a deal.

Bullshit, they’re building a database to track all of us, and then some janky “AI” program will determine who’s worthy of staying alive.

They’re just pissy that it outperforms their proprietary pieces of shit, thus the psyop campaign.

Lol I somehow doubt they’d take kindly to a violation of airspace sovereignty like that, especially in that regard

And the ever important island of Austin, that’s still somehow part of the US yet completely isolated within hostile territory.

Iirc Jellyfin isn’t exactly intended to be operated outside of your home network like Plex is. There are workarounds of course, but the onus is on the user to secure it.

I’d fudge that info too if it meant not getting sent to the gulag
- Comment on Airport face scans could replace boarding passes and check-in as soon as 2028 1 week ago:
Jeez, it’s almost just straight not worth it to fly these days once you factor everything in. Luckily I haven’t had the need in a few years, but damn.
- Comment on Airport face scans could replace boarding passes and check-in as soon as 2028 1 week ago:
It seems like it is a private company contracted by DHS to roll this out, and that is where I have an issue. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think biometrics is the best route, but I absolutely do not trust a 3rd party random corp to have and securely store all of my sensitive biometrics, not do I trust them to not sell it for an additional revenue stream. Same reason why that company Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents “selling” you on the service at the airport.

- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 2 weeks ago:
In theory that should be prorated then, depending on the contract dates. Anywhere I have ever lived we have bridges two places to live for a couple days while moving and cleaning, and I have never been on the hook for an entire month.

I think The Matrix had it right when they said 1999 was the peak of humanity, when platforms for these kind of shenanigans didn’t exist yet lol. Yeah we had loons on BBSs and IRC, but this is certainly something special.
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 2 weeks ago:
Professional electrician and AV tech here.
Personally, and this may be overkill, but an HDMI/video matrix would do wonders to cut down the number of cables you’re working with. You’d be able to group your cables within that shelving unit, so that you can run a single HDMI to your TV. You analog consoles would need a digital converter between the console and the matrix, but since the TV itself has to do the conversation anyway and will already introduce input lag, you’re up a creek there anyway. I’d cut a plug behind the TV, as well as low volt passthrough. If you’re handy and can patch drywall/paint, I’d run smurf tube from that shelving unit through the wall to behind the TV. And as many others have said, velcro straps, not zipties.
If you don’t want to go bananas with all that, then velcro strap everything as neatly as you can. You’d also be wise to separate power and data/video cables.
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly I hate those things. It’s fine if you’re not going to add or remove anything, but velcro is easier than those. Plus the cheaper ones don’t round off the edges and can crease the cable insulation.
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 2 weeks ago:
Nothing more rage inducing than someone who went ham with zipties in a rack.
Velcro, always.

- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 3 weeks ago:
I mean yeah, it’s not uncommon to know where each other live, there’s also that unspoken respect of leave people alone. Also yet another reason to not be an asshole in a small town lol.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 3 weeks ago:
I live in a small mountain town, and property values went apeshit. Like a house/cabin that was $150-250k is now $4-500k. It’s insane.
Privacy and anonymity is definitely still a thing as long as you keep you business to yourself, because as I’m guessing you’re alluding to, people are pretty chatty as it is and a smaller population makes it more difficult. It also helps to not be an asshole and give people even more to talk about, especially when most everyone knows each other.

California does. Guaranteed 10 min break every two hours, and guaranteed 30 min unpaid lunch if you work over 6 hours, mandatory overtime after 10 hours, and a second 30 min meal break if working over 12 hours.

- Comment on 50% of parents financially support adult children, report finds. Here's how much it costs them. 4 weeks ago:
How is this “doing well?”
Compared with their parents at this age, Gen Zers are more likely to have a college degree and work full time. Plus, many millennials have more saved for retirement than they did just a few years ago, after reaping the benefits of positive market conditions.
They’re using bullshit metrics to make everything seem peachy keen, and help older folks maintain faith in the current system. That’s really all fluff pieces like this are good for. “Oh, 50% of parents are shelling out about $1500/month to keep their kids afloat, but everything is fine because they have a college degree!” Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that everything is not fine, but rags like NBC are just trying to keep people spending and keep the gravy train going. It isn’t propaganda in the way Fox News is, but it’s still propaganda.
