Oh, the thing Trump called “so bad” on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can’t trust it, but he did say it.
As it stands, CHIPS isn’t going anywhere, so at least Americans won’t be totally fucked.
I don’t know anything about Jellyfin as a user but I’ve heard from others Jellyfin and Emby are ready to compete with Plex on a level playing field. Not sure if it’s an exaggerated hype or not. :P
I use Plex to play music most of the time (I know, but it works). Do you know if there’s a webhook or script available that would scrobble from Plex to ListenBrainz? I skimmed the list of player integrations and didn’t see anything.
Technically speaking, I think to arrest someone you must take them into your custody. You can’t take yourself into the custody of yourself since, as an individual, you’re already in your own custody by the nature of free will.
Lol, I’ve had a really bad cold (or something) for a week so, no. I feel like I’m fucking dying.
Curse you, Ea-Nasir!
Looks like this is the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6776349/
Hmm, I’ve heard that sensory overload can be physically painful for same people. Might be that, but I’m no doctor.
Are you autistic? Sometimes autistic people respond to stimuli differently than others and find it hard to articulate - maybe what you think of as pain is actually just a very intense response to this specific type of audio at a time when your body is at rest.
I’m not totally sure of the wisdom involved in gating content when ActivityPub and the Fediverse are still so new and niche.
If you’re putting out premium content that doesn’t affect the existing communities, whatever, I don’t care. But I do have to wonder how you’re actually going to make money when most users are used to free content.
Wouldn’t it be easier to use Ko-fi or similar?
Speaking as a technician (associate’s degree), every engineer in my country makes easily double what I do. Doctors, lawyers, and engineers are just examples of professions that are paid more for their expertise than their actual work output. I would have to work 60-hour weeks just to get paid what a fresh engineering grad would get.
If you think you’re at the top of your pay scale and want to earn more, then you should probably think about further education or look into travel nursing if travel is interesting/a possibility for you. Some kind of specialized knowledge like radiation, imaging, or anesthesiology would probably help.
Respectfully, it looks like shit and basic hand sewing isn’t hard. 5 year olds can do this with a bit of instruction.
My wife and I really like Agricola. It’s a farming-based people-placing game created in Germany for 2-4 players (with the base game), but there is an expansion for 5-6 players. We do play with a decent amount of house rules, though.
An obstacle to backsliding? In what way? Look around the western world: right-wing governments everywhere, voted in by centrists and the conservatives that profit from fooling them with easily digestible status quo ideals.
Well, my parents divorced when I was 5 and for a while before that there were periods where my dad would leave and then come back. I’d go to his apartment every other weekend. He’s a shitty dad though, so it didn’t really “work.”
Basically, I was told that my parents were having problems understanding each other (they explicitly said no when I asked if they were falling out of love but I can’t remember exactly what they said was occurring) and it was causing everyone to be sad. So they needed time apart to think. Idk, I handled it fine (I have other childhood issues that fucked me up) but older kids almost always have trouble with it.
This doesn’t need to be done alone though, there are a lot of professional and online resources for what to say to your kids and what to do now. Also friends and family to talk to, if that’s not too uncomfortable.
It’s possible that a trial separation might give you both the space to breathe and find the right words to say. The marriage doesn’t necessarily have to end (especially for insurance purposes here), but you might want to start considering whether the relationship has simply run its course.
Fostering a strong partnership based on helping your daughter navigate healthily and happily through life might benefit you more than trying to keep propping up an unhappy marriage.
Also, some couples find new ways to communicate or relate to each other again after dealing with certain issues. There’s not necessarily anything stopping you from resuming the relationship later (obviously I don’t know you or whether there are barriers other than the ones mentioned) when things have potentially become less strained.
It’s like you didn’t even read what I said, or didn’t understand. If it were only about vibes, the judges wouldn’t need to be experts in that sport. But whatever, you obviously just want to be correct and won’t look up shit.
I’m serious about the competitive accounting, or maybe poker championships; you clearly need something crunchy in order to have fun. Almost all sports have made rules and scoring adjustments over time to accommodate stylistic approaches to competition, Olympics or not, because they’re cool and fun and people like them.
That doesn’t mean it’s simple pageantry. Not sure if you’ve ever known an athlete who was training for the Olympics (I have a cousin who was an Olympic hopeful in figure skating), but it takes a lot of work and knowing what judges look for is 100% part of it. Style is part of the scoring and that is good.
Imagine if every gymnast had the exact same routine on purpose for objective comparison. Wow, very cool and fun. So entertaining and worth watching. Gold medal for objective conformity.
Surely you can understand how taking a corner in a different way is an obvious indicator of style and how the criteria can allow for variation from the expected angle, velocity, etc. in order to highlight the skill required to drive in a specific fashion, even if that fashion is meant to highlight the flashiness of a particular move.
While I don’t disagree with your assertion that it’s possible to eliminate subjectivity, I really don’t understand why you would want to, and it would ruin the sport. That is, I suppose, an unspoken part of my previous comment. It is factually part of the sport that stylistic driving tactics are more impressive on a technical and visual level, and that cannot possibly be made less subjective. It’s part of the culture of the sport.
Each sport is different, I think that’s cool. Making everything objectively about numbers so that each sport can be directly compared and athletes can be evaluated based entirely on algorithmic calculation based on statistics takes a lot of fun away and makes it lifeless. Maybe you could look into competitive accounting? That truly is a thing.
Genuinely convinced this is an uninformed opinion, not an unpopular one. Go look up the criteria, watch some videos and commentary from people who are experts, and learn about each of the sports you’re lazily criticizing.
Also, as another commenter said, the Olympics are absolutely also about art and style - the ancient Greeks were a civilization captivated by aesthetics. If you don’t like it, no one is forcing you to watch.
What about point deductions for faults, like a minor collision or improper cornering? It happens in (for example) motocross all the time. It’s not like there aren’t other criteria.
For what it’s worth, I agree with you. Most telecom infrastructure funding has been historically pocketed. There is a chance it does work, though.
If not, maybe the tariffs will help in the short term by minimizing profit from overseas supply chains and incentivize American manufacturing, causing a positive effect on the sector in concert with CHIPS (but I doubt it).
