And he was never charged or fined or jailed or anything. Really just the perfect criminal romp. Some fun fraud. Light-hearted illegal antics. I want that too.

It’s Kirby!

This is my exact setup. The upgrade from the smart TV was night and day. Apps load instantly and Jellyfin works great. Most importantly the remote is easy to use and can control the TV.

It doesn’t feel real anymore on the inside. Except when it feels too real…

I want to argue with you, but that’s pretty accurate. The only time I’ll admit I’m at fault is if I know who actually screwed up. I’ll say, “My mistake, I’ll get that fixed right away,” then I’ll privately message the real culprit.

But if I know it was me then I’m picking one off this list and kicking the can down the road. I’m the stereotypical lazy and spineless programmer.

I have a good '08 car that I bought with cash 10 years ago for $3000. I got it from a guy who exclusively sells and fixes this model of car. I went back last year to get my car fixed and looked at the cars he was selling. '08s were starting at $5000.

I was gonna say, I doubt Trump eats anything green.

If I saw that in a repo I would 100% believe it. I’ve seen so many that are just as baffling.

This drives me crazy with software websites and GitHub repos. Sometimes they’ll give you a hint that involves other undefined things like, “This lets you use Floorp with Bibix.”

I can’t speak for the desktop side, but for my server it’s been running without interruption for years. About once per week I do something stupid and use all available memory, but it hasn’t crashed once. It just runs a bit slow until I free up some RAM, then Docker comes back to life once I free up some disk space. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a server OS that just works.

I’ve explained hundreds of different games over the years and top-down is always the way to go:

• “This is the theme and how to win” ↓
• “These are the things you need to win and these are the things that will hinder you” ↓
• “This is how each round is structured so you can get/avoid those things”.

If you do it bottom-up then people ask, “Why would I want that?” or “What’s that for?” and you’re constantly replying, “I’ll get to that”.

Practice rounds are one of my favorite ways to do it, but sadly my current group doesn’t like them. Definitely the way to go if you can, though.–

It was the original definition of “gooning”: wikipedia

Sadly the traumatic kidnapping was generally the least bad part of the experience, since the camps were/are incredibly abusive.

“But it wouldn’t hit the fan so much if we stopped using Microsoft’s half-baked products!”

It always falls on deaf ears. I can’t believe how many millions my employer throws at Microsoft every year just to complain about how broken it is.

I would be interested as well. My family was almost completely meat free for a month and a half. I have no taste for meat anymore, but my spouse craved it even more for a long time.

I really thought that slogan was just a bit in Mad Men. I had no idea that was based on reality.

Exactly what I thought of.

I got one of these recently and it works well. Much smoother than whatever my Smart TV is natively running and it doesn’t crash constantly.

If it were just me I’d have set up a small HTPC with Kodi, but my family needs something that works without ever needing my intervention, and it needs to run the 100 streaming services we hemorrhage money to. These boxes are super cheap and let me run Jellyfin too.

Some of the dialogue is not great, but overall he has some fantastic acting that is worth seeing. Not to mention the other actors who are actually likeable and do a great job.

But, yeah, it is Mel Gibson. I wouldn’t buy another copy if it puts money in his hands. If you haven’t seen it I recommend finding an alternative path to watch it.

I disagree that it’s about the graphics (in this specific case). That scene has a scare that, when looked at by itself, is not scary at all. However, the setup is so perfect that it had people screaming when they first watched it. I was definitely the target audience at the time, maybe 11 or 12 years old, but it was incredibly powerful. I still get goosebumps when I see it, even though the graphics are bad. It wasn’t a jump scare; they flat-out said what was about to happen in more ways than one. But there was something so pure and fulfilling about them actually following through with exactly what you expected that it transcended being a simple scare.

Anyway, if you watched it as a kid there’s a decent chance that scene permanently lives in your head. I believe that’s what the poster is referencing.
