Yeah, totally. That’s why I said it was surprising.

I see a surprising number of women standing on a boat holding a fish in their Tinder profiles.

Many seed boxes allow you to install Jellyfin and the Arr stack on the seedbox itself. Some even make installation a one click operation.

Thanks. I’ll check that one out.

I don’t want to skip ads. I want to avoid them altogether. They’re intrusive. Especially after listening to the same podcast for a decade, only to suddenly find ads for car companies, and other things irrelevant to me, rudely shoved I to the middle of an otherwise serene experience.

I stopped listening to podcasts once it became impossible to avoid injected ads. I’ll find time to read.

Oh. Good.

I “discovered” caffeine the summer between 7th and 8th grade. Vanilla lattes changed everything. In high school they sold us sodas and snacks between classes. By 9th grade, I couldn’t stay awake through 2nd period (geometry) without drinking a 20 oz. Mt. Dew before class. When I realized what was happening I stopped drinking Mt. Dew. It was a rough couple of weeks. It was my first experience with drug dependence. Informed my approach to drugs for the rest of my life. I got lucky, I suppose.

I see what rule did there

George Monbiot is a fantastic writer.

It’s the “see no evil” approach. If you didn’t report the issue while the admin was online, then they aren’t compelled to do anything about it. Convenient for the project maintainer who doesn’t actually like maintaining things. Awful for the rest of us.

A bunch of the servers I’m on actively discourage the use of threads. No idea why. In a different server I’m on, an admin creates a thread for every post in general, so that people can talk about the post without cluttering up the main thread. I wish more servers followed that example.

My company generally gives yearly raises, and before 2020 they were usually pretty generous. The last few years though, they haven’t even come close to matching inflation.

That’s a good way to do it, whenever possible. Unfortunately most of the results on Amazon these days are from companies with word salad names, like ENGRTSIAL or LOFRABTAN.
