I find it incredibly stupid when people blame the forests when they have a problem with a specific tree. And that's just the most sympathetic take on why he posted this in the first place.
I know several people who only watched the Superbowl for the advertisments / halftime show.
Regardless of how shitty it is, one of the big cultural touchstones is also the advertisements they played on tv when someone was growing up. A lot of people use ads as another way to connect with a new person; meeting a other local to your area means you can mention a particularly overplayed ad from childhood and likely be able to find another person who saw it growing up too.
You know, I expect that the generational divide will change which ads people connect over, but I don't think that the majority of people will stop using them as a way of connection.
The new hotness is making fun of raid shadow legends, and I expect there's several others I just don't know about as well.
There's your problem right there. The article also notes that the website 'sniffies', which was banned from the iphone store, is what many people use now.
"‘Quite frankly, we have nothing to lose’: how the UK is going weird for its 2026 Eurovision entry"
"So, quite frankly, we have nothing to lose. And if that means entering a guy who runs a museum for “experimental and obsolete scientific and musical technology” in Ramsgate and whose name makes me die a little bit every time I have to type it out, then so be it. We’re going to lose anyway, so what the hell."
Stuart, you're really pissing me off with your high and mighty "artiste" bullshit. Sam has genuinely good music, with a very creative aesthetic. Just because he doesn't do pop music that hits top 10 for ten weeks straight doesn't mean his work is without merit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irfXSw55DUo&list=PLluPQLh1xzlKkAfB-joSEaccwQBr6OSi1
I actually took some training about crowd/prisoner management back when I was in the army preparing for a deployment. Turns out a guy with a knife out who runs at you can usually get within stabbing distance, before a gun is drawn, anywhere within about 22 feet (or so).
If you assume everyone is out to get you because they're all murdering criminals, then yeah, gotta keep your hand on your gun whenever they're not social distancing enough. Fucking pigs.
Nope. It's a trans-generational ploy since time immemorial. The worst ones are the bosses who ask you to stay so they don't have to go home, but it can happen to anyone.
Yeah. That's my personal indicator that there's something wrong with my work setup; avoiding doing the thing that leads to the unpleasant parts. I guarantee he started hiding in his car after the relationship issues began.
"Florida Man Steals $7K in Lottery Tickets, Returns to [Same] Gas Station to Redeem Them"
"...Farley drove right back to the scene of the crime, marched in, and announced that he wanted to redeem some lottery tickets. The same-day staff must have thought he looked awfully familiar. They told him he couldn’t redeem the tickets.
Farley was determined. He did the old “walk around the store and get back in line,” hoping a different staff member would take pity on him. But the answer was still no."
I would edit and repost this myself, but I'm using my phone.
Because they used middlemen in Iraq and the other middle eastern countries to get the terminals. It's incredibly likely that this has been in the works for a little while now. You don't wanna accidentally cut off access to Ukraine while clearing out the bootleg clients from Russia.

New blurays are 30-50 each. New DVDs are 5 or less, each. Libraries usually have bigger dvd collections than bluray collections. People use what they can afford, not what is best.
Well, that, and vhs is one of those things that is fun to play with. It's never going to be perfect, and that's enough to keep people like me coming back to see what new improvements I can make to my vhs setup this time.
It really is always crazy to see the different perspectives. I've actually unsubscribed from a channel for the bad quality youtube put on all their 1080p videos. I'm also still eagerly awaiting the slomo guys bluray release of their greatest hits.

Yeah. Occassionally I like to check back in on people who 'made it big' for one reason or another, to see how they're doing. I was happily surprised to see this guy took his chance seriously and turned it into an actual career while also avoiding a shitload of common pitfalls surrounding this type of fame.
Cash me ousside girl is a good example of someone who got famous, but kept a lot of the bad habits from childhood around, which is always a shame.

Did anyone else notice he is wearing clothes that look exactly like his description of her old clothes? 5$ says he's wearing her stuff during this whole conversation.
The karma of killing a doctor goes away when that doctor uses his position of trust and authority to abuse and creep on people. It's worse than a regular creep because people have to trust him with their physical safety.
Their service was genuinely good for the short time I used it. You'll note in my post that I would still recommend it to anyone who doesn't plan on doing more than average browsing and light torrenting.
They just wanted an excuse to cut me off since I made more use of it than the average person likely does, and their 'unlimited' advertising means you can't actually know what their real limits are.

You're missing the ignorant backwoods racist element. Those people are signing up for ICE right now. None of this is as simple as a single group of people causing all of the problems.
I'm just waiting for bell bottom pants to come back. I bought a pair for a shaggy halloween costume one year, and not only are they super comfortable, they make my ass look amazing too.
It's hot button topic in the same vein as the 'alone in the woods with a bear or a man' conversation. Maybe not politics, so much as a topic that might bring out the 'not all men' crowd real quick.
That's one of my long running pet peeves, actually. Having your changelog be the exact same bullshit, alongside updates every two days for as long as i've used the product, really don't inspire any sort confidence in a product.

xscreensaver developer jwz added an allcaps/all bold notification to xscreensaver that says that the current xscreensaver version is really old. This notification could not be user canceled / okayed through. The author did this because he apparently received several emails about xscreensaver versions that were years out of date.
Debian stable's policy is to make no updates unless they are security or bug related. This directly conflicted with jwz's policy of only supporting the latest version of xscreensaver.
The Debian maintainers chose to remove the unskippable warning as the other options were harder to maintain / worse to use. This was specifically permissable in the xscreensaver license, but against the authors stated wishes to have xscreensaver removed entire if the warning could not be kept or the software could not be updated.
Of note, jwz escalated to yelling at the first reporter about this in his first email and swearing at another reporter in his second. The Debian stable team offered suggestions which would direct Debian users to the Debian development team for bug reports about the old versions of xscreensaver, but jwz's hostile approach made that not happen at all.
If I install debian stable it's because I want it to work, and to not be bothered about anything that doesn't need to happen. That's whole point of having Debian stable around. One of the points made in the discussion, which I strongly agree with, is that Linux software is managed in a repository, not individually. A windows program telling me out of date is obnoxious, but expected. A Linux program telling me it is out of date is a obnoxious and unexpected. (Fucking discord...)
The xscreensaver author shot himself in the foot with this one; presumably he wanted to avoid being harrassed over old versions of xscreensaver. What he ended up doing was telling everyone with an old version of xscreensaver that they need to update and then guaranteed they would harass thim about it by not giving the users an option to ignore and walk away from the message.
The initial message immediately suggests going against his wishes and the rest of the thread is about whats good for Debian
Well yeah. This whole thread was started in the Debian bug tracker. Of course the focus is going to be on what's good for Debian. The fact that jwz showed up immediately means they followed the Debian bug tracker, which begs the question, why would jwz subscribe to that if they didn't want to be there? It also sets the tone for the whole discussion. Original reporter was whiny, but, like, it was directed at the Debian team, not jwz. jwz chose to insert themselves into the Debian bug tracker discussion, and also chose to be aggressive about it.
If I where in his situation I would tell them to go fuck themselves as well. Its just incredibly disrespectful to the person who did the actual work.
That's fair, honestly. jwz owes the Debian team fuck all. But the other half of that is that the Debian team tried to work out a middle of the road solution and were met with immediate hostility.
You can't work with someone who doesn't want to work with you, so you do what's best for your project and just move on.
single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
incredibly cheap
mine has been reliable
no extra power needed
no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)
Cons:
pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
doesn't support m.2 pci
doesn't support booting from the installed drives
If all you're looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don't mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.
My chip is a couple years old and has started to cause issues on occasion with the more finicky readers. I just tap when that happens, but it's still annoying when it does.
