Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.

Yeah how does that work? How do I get my Healthcare to pay my mortgage?

1 point for me as well, but I had never recorded radio to a cassette. Same age.

It was significantly harder to set up remote access for Jellyfin than Plex 6 months ago. I ha ent attempted since. With Plex there was literally no set up, it just works. Until it just works without having to do any extra work, Jellyfin will struggle with adoption.

I have both running, and thatd a big difference to me. Also I prefer the way Plex detects intros and credits for skipping and their detection for captions. Once that’s all sorted Jellyfin wins in every field.

I do this too but it only works on my home network not remotely.

With the caviat that you have tailscale enabled on both devices. This prevents it from being used on a roku outside your home but you could access it remotely from your computer/phone/tablet.

It is significantly harder than Plex, currently. There are improvements happening all the time though.

“Idiot cashier”… you’re such a jackass.

Stores can’t write off a customer’s point-of-sale donations, because they don’t count as company income, according to tax policy experts. Customers can write off their own donations if they choose. Stores are allowed to write off their own donations, such as when a store donates a certain portion of all its proceeds to charity.

It won’t help beers but I wouldn’t mind the wide scale reintroduction of decanters to the modern age. I have accumulated a few since I’ve been of drinking age and they all feel fancier than pouring from the bottle.

Ya know what’s crazy? I got a Steam link when it became available and it barely worked because my computer and router sucked more than I realized at the time. Then last year someone made a video about it and said how awesome it was and I remembered I had it and plugged it in.

They were right! It still works great, and since I’ve upgraded everything since then, I now know my computer was the bottleneck back then. I’m curious what new features a new Steam link could add to make it worth a whole new device at this point.

Oh then read the Wikipedia page you referenced. It actually gives examples supporting my statement.

And once again, I am not saying it isn’t racist today or that people weren’t racist back then or that the word is OK today or any of the other weird things people keep acting like I said.

I lost my patience with people being willfully ignorant a while ago. I just thought it was an interesting moment in time to see how language evolved. Not terribly dissimilar to many other terms people used to use that later morphed into slurs.

I’m not either. But there’s a difference between isn’t and wasn’t. But again, you don’t care. I’m still not defending racism or racists or racists using the term as a slur later. Ive been super clear. I was just providing historical context.

“at the world’s inception” should have clued you in on the jest…

I just disagree. We are equally dense at worst. I’ve already expressed people were racist and had slurs that they used. Im not ignoring that or unaware of it or trying to gloss over that. This just wasn’t one of them for a long stretch of time.

You won’t believe it because you just don’t believe it. That’s you being dense. You refuse to accept the reality I’ve witnessed. Terms weren’t used with equal intent globally throughout history. How a term was used in Caldwell Idaho in 1930 is not how it was used in Pennsylvania at the same time, despite them both being America and the people involved all being American.

I think anywhere we still use butter is still great. It’s where we replaced it with the “various hydrogenated oils of mysterious origin” that we lost our way. Once we could no longer believe it wasn’t butter, we lost the plot.

Naw, it was most commonly used as a term similar to “that chinese guy” which is easy to confuse with racism at a time period where people were generally racist towards the chinese, but the term itself is not racist. There were actual slurs back then they could use if they were about that.

My Grandmother said they always bought they’re vegetables growing up from the chinaman who rolled his cart through the alleyway behind their homes. It’s not a term of hate, but it’s easy to say hateful things alongside it.

How someone thinks of America and not France when thinking of butter is beyond me. I just assume they’re unfamiliar with their respective culinary achievments.

Literally never heard of them. With all the random bullshit companies dumping crap into the market, if you don’t have good name recognition these days, it’s just assumed you are some random Chinese product clone with dubious quality.

This is fine when I purchased my knockoff Dyson vacuum that still works great, but I wouldn’t trust all my data to a company I dont recognize.
