To be fair to Meta, they did tell you they might do that. They didn’t lie. They just told you in the find print of an already convoluted and arcane legal document that they know most people would never read, fewer would understand, and no one could do anything to change.

So unlike Tesla, where they did lie about FSD’s capabilities, and that is at best false advertising but probably actually fraud, Meta at least had a thin veneer of plausible deniability against accusations of being liars when they sold your data to unknown third-parties because they did tell you about it, you just needed a law degree to understand what they were telling you.

At least in my experience, this does seem to be an unpopular opinion. One that I share.

70F without a thick layer of clouds might as well be the inside of an oven.

45F in spring is T-shirt weather, in fall it’s light hoody weather. The difference is humidity.

The ideal outdoor temperature is between 0F and 25F. Subzero is acceptable down to -30F. At that point stay inside.

You can always put more clothes on, but you can only get so naked.

Snow is great, perhaps the single greatest ground covering.

It’s easy to cool off in a proper winter. Just inhale deeply. It’s also easy also to stay warm, just dress appropriately for the weather.

It’s not hard to keep a house warm in the winter either. Just make sure it’s properly insulated for the weather. You’ll only need to run the heat a few times a week or in severely cold temperatures if it’s built properly and not massively oversized for the number of people living in it.

My electricity more than doubles in the summer because AC is so horribly inefficient.

Summer is the single worst season. Fuck summer.

No redundancy? No high availability? No clustering? What are you even doing man? One server? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump those numbers up.

/s, obviously. You do you, and whatever works for your needs/budget.

A bad friend won’t help you bury a body.

A good friend will help you bury a body.

A best friend will help you make a body.

The equation to determine watts is P=VA

If you have the same voltage and a higher amperage, then by definition you have a higher wattage.

Yeah, setting up qBittorrent plus an RSS feed and VPN takes very little time and effort. Not much harder than signing up for a subscription service. Then maintaining it is as simple as updating your RSS feed with new anime you want to watch at the start of the season or when you find something you’d like to see.

Plex can be a bit of pain to setup to properly scrape anime, but there are some good guides out there. Jellyfin is easier, but setting it up for remote access is more difficult.

All in all, it’s a bit more up front effort for an overall better experience than having to juggle several monthly subscriptions every anime season just to watch everything you want to watch.

If you want to support the creators, buy the blu-rays when they come out.

I think he meant the Ur-Dick, the primordial penis, the first phallus, the archetypal dong all men strive for.

I thought I had too much to drink. Turns out MC Escher decided to make a surrealist dachshund.

I love it, but it doesn’t pair well with soju.

I know it’s a typo, but the image of Lobo, DC’s heavy metal space biker, reading books to someone while they lie in bed is hilarious.

Use Solaris. You can’t have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.

If you’re in a country that typically drives on the left, and you’re driving in the far right lane on a three or more lane road, you’re still doing it wrong. That lane is for merging and exiting. The far left is for passing and the center lanes are for cruising. There might also be turn only lanes, which unless you’re turning can be safely ignored, because the only valid reason to be in a turn lane is if you’re turning.

Is there not a way to take assembly and automatically translate it to some higher level language?

Edit: Post-post thought: I guess that would basically be one step removed from decompilation which, as I understand it, is a tedious and still fairly manual process.

That just sounds like they need better NSFW tagging and enforcement of NSFW tags.

You can get a pellet printer as a 2nd printer, either as a modification to an existing printer or as a complete printer, and then you don’t have to worry about most of the difficulties of recycling your waste. Just ensure your keep different types of plastic separate and stored in dry containers just like you would store filament. Then you just need a shredder, which are pretty cheap, and you can create small plastic chunks that will work in the place of pellets. This avoids most of the cost and difficulty associated with recycling, which largely comes from the extrusion process.

If you wind up needing to dry the pellets, its basically the same process as for filament and removing contaminants is less of a concern.

If you also do injection molding, the pellets can also be used for that.

While creating new filament on hobbyist scale is difficult, finding other ways to reuse the plastic at the hobbyist scale isn’t hard. Just requires being willing to do it and a little bit of creativity.

Give nothin’ back

They say it’s about 40% faster to watch. Which they say currently saves about 150 hours.

It’s a fan made project that cuts out the recaps, the filler arcs, and most of the OP and ED sequences, keeping one of each at the beginning/end of each arc. It then condenses a lot of the story arcs and reorders some events to (mostly) fix the pacing issues of One Piece and cut down on the run time while preserving the original story.

They’ve got a website out there, but I can’t link to it here, since it’s technically a pirate site. No pun intended. It should come up with a google search though.

I’d recommend it, can’t say why I’d recommend it, I just remember really enjoying Legion.

From what little I do remember, I think starting over would be a good idea.

I think it’s Legion; a series based on an X-Men character named Legion, who is Charles Xavier’s neglected schizophrenic son, but because of licensing issues they couldn’t include most X-Men characters and as a result they created a story that doesn’t really feel like any other superhero thing and is instead very weird and very trippy.

I haven’t watched it since it’s original run and don’t remember much more than that, but I remember liking it quite a bit. I might rewatch it soon.

Which is one of the reasons why I typically recommend One Pace over the actual series to people. It fixes just about all of the issues I had with watching the series. It also makes it easier to get caught up if you’ve lagged pretty far behind the weekly schedule.
