It’s also a way to make sure people don’t leave crappy jobs or, even worse, start their own businesses that might compete against the already established ones.

Cantina chicken burrito with the green sauce in the packet. It’s better than you’d get at most of the fake Mexican chain restaurants in my city. Not as good as the authentic places but the price can’t be beat.

I’m a moron when I’m stoned but a little bit makes my brain slow the fuck down enough that I can actually concentrate on things and get them done.

No, you use it as a media server. A media center can also be a media server but often is not.

If your pi is just reading files from the network, it’s fine. If it’s serving files, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Use the right tool for the job.

A raspberry pi isn’t and has never been a good choice for a server.

For an appliance like a pi hole, home assistant, or media center playing files from a real Nas it’s fine.

I have a password manager with a family plan so my wife can use it. Does she? Absolutely not. And that’s why we don’t share bank accounts.

There’s a word for alternative medicine that works. It’s “medicine”.

I forget the attribution.

The US has so much red on its ledger it will never be balanced. And there are plenty of apologists for atrocities in our history. They’re just as bad as the Chinese or Russian (or pick whatever country you want because they’re all guilty to some extent) when they do it.

Denying historical events and refusing to come to terms with their causes and repercussions is not a left or right problem.

You can be as communist as you want but pretending that events with photographic evidence didn’t actually happen put you in the same category as moon landing deniers in my book.

Tell me you fucked up the ui of your program without telling me you fucked up the ui of your program.

The question isn’t whether Marijuana is habit forming. Obviously for some percentage it is. The question is whether Marijuana use in and of itself encourages or preface additional drug use. My position is that it does not and by legalizing Marijuana we would find that it is the interaction with black market drug dealers which correlates instead.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug.

Having to deal with a drug dealer that wants to also sell you actually addictive drugs is the gateway.

Legalize pot, sell it at the grocery store, and you will watch the number of addicts in general fall precipitously. I guarantee it.

A preference cascade by consumers leading to a death spiral.

Watch for tesla to spin off the vehicle business soon and refocus on batteries / energy going forward.

The back pedaling has reached the “it was a joke. I was only pretending to be wrong” stage. What comes next?

Just admit you spoke without knowledge and try to do better in the future. It’s not that hard.

Why would you even assume? The info is in the linked article. Point being, if you’d read the article you wouldn’t need to make assumptions.

YouTube started testing pause ads last year, as reported by Adweek. These ads will pop up as banners around the video and can be removed by hitting the “dismiss” button. They’re going to be pretty similar to the pause ads that Hulu introduced back in 2019.

Pausing just brings up a sidebar with a static image ad. Maybe they change that to audio amd/or video in the future but right now you just seem uninformed and reflexively hostile. Maybe like, experience what they’re doing before judging? Or at least before commenting…

I’ve been getting this on the YouTube app on shield TV and fire TV stick lately. It’s as you said; just click dismiss on the ad and it goes back to full screen.

How does it feel, to ruin a life?

I’ve done the tape thing before. It was a little bit of a pain but not that hard.

That’s why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.
