Aren’t sqilte files themselves (like most other things) just fancy text files?

Any breakfast at home is almost always better than breakfast out, if you’ve got the time and ingredients. I can, with the right ingredients and tools and while half asleep, hungover, or still drunk, make a full breakfast for a family of four better than 90% of the breakfasts I’ve ever had out. Sure it took some practice, but breakfast isn’t rocket science or usually particularly complex recipe wise.
The only thing I haven’t been able to do better at home breakfast wise so far is making my own fresh bagels or donuts. I don’t like making poached eggs either, and hollandaise sauce is a pain in the ass, but I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gotten an eggs Benedict out at a restaurant that didn’t make me immediately regret my choice. Same with biscuits and gravy (why do restaurants think that gravy comes out of a box and should be bright white?) , bacon (just bacon flavored bacon please), eggs (sunny side up does not mean I want the whites to be clear and runny too), etc. All things I really like, but can’t tolerate having someone else fuck up and charge me for it.
What I want is a Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock… and this thing which tells time. I think that everybody should have a Red Ryder BB gun. They’re very good for Christmas. I don’t think that a football’s a very good Christmas present.
Ah I see we actually agree. That’s my bad. I’m so used to getting shouted down around here by people that didn’t read very closely, I wrongly interpreted your comment. Ironic. I’m sorry.
Doesn’t really seem like you understood what I said or read any of what I linked. That’s still roughly 11 grams of nicotine, so still several hundred times more than it takes to kill an adult by my quick back of the envelope estimate.
I mean this isn’t really poison tho.
Go ahead and look into the toxicity of a single drop (30-60mg) of nicotine. Plenty of “natural plant products” that are poisons.
That’s not an AI boyfriend. That’s an AI Nanny/Therapist/Caretaker. They have a live in AI nurse.
The whole article is the why. Not just a single headline-appropriate bullet point.
I’ve only ever watched the show in passing, as in literally just passing through the room. And it is painfully obvious in an instant that her character is the ONLY one that is pleasant, eloquent, intelligent, and kind in any appreciable degree. That’s what’s fucking sexy about her character.
Moreover, those other waifs don’t even know what sex is, but that girl FUCKS with nerdy literary passion and will let you cry like a baby into that cleavage afterwards.
I agree with you.
We’re paying for it anyway when a private enterprise develops this technology, but we don’t get to keep the results of any of that development. That’s my big problem with it. It’s like any other tragedy of publicly funded projects/programs that ultimately only profit a select few like healthcare, stadiums, and pretty much any software as a service or closed source systems sold to public sectors. Those are just a few, but I’m sure there are more. This stuff is too important to the public good to be controlled and horded by corporations. The scariest thing in the alien franchise wasn’t the xenomorphs, it was The Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
Just in time for Google to kill RCS and move on to something else.
Turtles and tortoises also like pets sometimes and not just their heads. Their shells are surprisingly sensitive.
All the laws to prevent this tragedy already exist, except maybe limiting powered bicycles on public travel ways to licensed drivers/riders. Bicycles (powered or not) are vehicles and require appropriate lighting at night or when conditions otherwise would require it for a car. That 66 year old would have been exposed to much more safety education about bicycle helmets over the course of their life than that 12 year old. I have trouble feeling bad for the 66 year old when that kid is going to carry the weight of that death for the rest of their life. Everything about this situation is awful though so it’s understandable that the town may have overcorrected based on emotion.
That view of the driver, looking out from the front passenger side out the driver’s window always makes me anxious for this reason. It’s like Chekhov’s gun. Why would they pick that angle unless the characters were about to get T-boned?
That one actually has some basis in reality though. My terminal still dings at me, it’s just that having it ding too much is annoying and out of fashion now. Does no one else remember PCs piezoelectric beeping, even before you upgraded to an actual soundcard?
No, I don’t use the podcast feature on the Plex. But I do use Plex for listening to audiobooks. Just be aware that MP4/m4b cannot be in the same library as mp3s.
The other podcast thing is a solution totally outside of Plex. It is running on the same machine though and accessing the same files. dir2cast + webserver like Nginx or apache reads a directory of mp3 files and builds an RSS feed out of them. In some ways it works better than Plex because it’s simpler on the user side to listen offline as long as you sync the feed at home. I tend to do a separate feed for each series or author. It’s a bit fiddly to get setup and adding a new feed requires a bash one liner and editing some HTML after the files are sorted and named perfectly because podcast apps have some funny limitations when it comes to actually grouping, sorting, and displaying metadata.
I use podcast addict in much the same way. I can control it using my WearOS watch or even just via the Bluetooth controls of my headphones. I use podcast addict mostly for podcasts (obviously), but I also have (a very manual and kludgey) RSS server at home to feed me and the rest of the home audiobooks via podcast addict. I’ve started to move that listening more to Plex via PlexAmp on my phone, which is also controllable from my watch. The Plex audiobook experience isn’t perfect, but it is a lot easier to manage.
I haven’t found a need or advantage to an external player yet. But, I have found some codecs that the Plex app has struggled with, which might benefit from an external app. I haven’t had the issue in a while though and didn’t think of using the external player then, so no guarantees.
SpaceX has saved NASA a ton of money on launch and ISS cargo/crew services.
Privatizing a government sector and then subsizing its for-profit commerical replacement is the opposite of saving NASA (or taxpayers) money. I’m all for companies getting into space, but they should be getting support in the form of publicly available fundamental science and technology development from a properly funded NASA, not bids to do the work for them at a profit to those companies.
I know you’re making a joke. This isn’t directed at you so much as a reaction.
But it’s kinda scary that some people will see some finely designed, engineered, tested, and refined bit of technology that has become so ubiquitous that it seems downright boring and then call that thing “old fashioned” like it is an insult without a trace of irony or sarcasm.
I did say fancy.
