Oh man, my spouse loves movies like that! Thanks for the suggestion!

What’s the catalyst for the end of the world in The Road?

Check you PMs, I sent you the link!

Any chance you’re looking for a free jellyfin with a surplus of weird movies and music? It’s not fast, but it’s free!

That’s true. Honestly I think it’s fine this way, I just wish I could send out little updates, take requests and stuff. Day to day operations is my love language and not having a valid reason to make an RSS feed or newsletter is just a reminder that I don’t have a community anymore.

I’ve been a media hoarder for decades, my partner is an avid dvd collector. I used to have lofty goals with friends about setting up our own server and media centers so we didn’t have to afford the world we live in. The friends fell off along the way, but I finally managed to make the dream happen. It’s bittersweet that I don’t really have anyone to celebrate it with.

Sadly no, but the business practices were really good when I looked into them and they don’t seem to harvest data or ask for unneeded access.

Me and the fam use Nipto. You can set up point values, rewards, and even link it up with the other people in your house. Were I still single, I’d have absolutely gotten a few of my other single friends on it and turned it into a competition where the one that does best picks the venue and the one that does worst buys the drinks. Then it would also incentivize social interaction.

I don’t know why this is getting downvoted, you’re right.

The implication is that they’re lucky it isn’t their 30th or so.

I can promise that’s an urban legend. There are no reported cases of a human of any size being eaten by a pet Python. There are a few cases of humans being eaten by large Pythons in the wild, but these are also stupidly rare. A well fed bermese python, the largest common pet Python, can get to 15ft but is still not capable of eating anything larger than a newborn.

Python? Fuck yes, that’s a new friend. Even in Australia those aren’t venomous and it’s already down to cuddle.

I’ve witnessed ball lightning twice in my life. None of the crazy UFO style stuff, both cases the lightning was arching between clouds and just sort of balled up and hovered there for a few seconds before fizzling out.

A little more repeatable, I once stopped in the middle of nowhere in west Oregon at 2am. We pulled over on some rural road, turned off all the lights and just looked at the sky. It was the first time I’d ever been somewhere I couldn’t at least see light pollution on the horizon. I grew up in a rural area, I’d always shown off the stars you could see out there, but the awe I felt in that perfect darkness seeing more stars than I’d ever managed before has actually soured my love of the sky. The sky at home looked so dull after that. I live in the city now and rarely see any stars, somehow I don’t mind.

Got covid and flu shots Saturday and that took me out all weekend. Today I felt good enough to distribute the new moss around my turtle enclosure. According to their new meters, it’s 85f and 95% humidity which is just where they want go be. I’ve been watching them tromp around and bask.

Totally not the answer you were here for, but you could likely upgrade your setup by reaching out to your local school district and asking if you can loot their e-waste. They’ll want to keep any storage because it may contain sensitive data, but all the rest of the hardware is free for the pickings. My son’s pc, my server, and my two projectors all came from an e-waste crate at the local school district office.

A lot of people give this book and it’s cartoon shit because they were exposed too young, but it’s message is something that a lot of other books don’t offer so I really think it should be available. Ideally, ages 12-17 would be able to handle the content and genuinely digest the meaning while still being young enough for it to have a lasting impact on their development.

Also it would be a library, not a bookstore.

I was gonna say, only now? I’m in the US and can see it’s been a bad actor since at least the end of WW2.

The vast majority I worked with could be flexed a full 180 but had a preference to a specific angle based on either how they were packaged or moulded. We did have a few with cheaper antennas break internally with repeated flexing and tugging, those were all remote only.

In practice we found that that tails moulded into a tight C shape made them easier to wear under clothes as straighter J shaped designs would make an obvious bulge in tight clothes and shift around more freely during movement.

While I can’t vouch for the in person details, sex toys were a hyperfixation for me because I was going to open a sex shop myself. My findings were that around 86% of full silicon egg vibrators use comparable motors. So when the shop owner said it won’t bring you to orgasm, that’s scam language. They were looking for the upsell.

Now, like someone else said, good reciever is the make or break here, a lot of the remote only models we tested just had a single wire loop for an antenna, which is not reliable and prone to breaking in use. If you’re planning for anything other than personal use in a bedroom setting, look for Bluetooth compatibility.

Lastly, some other things to consider are charging style and battery life. Battery life is an obvious, if you take longer you’re going to be pretty peeved if it dies. As for chargers, I found that bare contacts will corode over time and models with rubber caps that cover a USB mini are worthless. Possibly the best option I’ve seen across the board was using 1.5mm mono audio jack that pushed through a raised silicone nipple. The seal was reliable at 2.5m water depth (deepest pool we could find locally), the cord itself was durable and easily sourced if you needed a new one, and the interface was waterproof enough that my test subject could charge it during use.

All of this is to say, price isn’t really a good tell. You’re better off looking for something that’s well reviewed and fits your needs.

My 3d printer is half 3d printed and a fourth recycled garbage. I’ve laid hands on every single part in her and hopefully soon I’ll replace the box as a whole with a vintage tv cabinet and finally put a 30cm heated bed in her. The only thing I can’t replace is the thermistor because I don’t know how to program for a modem one.
