Fair in the instance of Plex, but I’m happy to pay for the feature with Home Assistant.

People are free to take some rando on the Internet up on their offer.

I’d be fine paying $25 a year to not maintain that shit myself. Plus the money should contribute to development efforts.

Aren’t they charging because it passes through their servers so you don’t have to expose your server directly to the public Internet?

Like, I pay $5 a month to access my Home Assistant setup remotely, although I could do it cheaper with my own AWS setup. But the money goes to development, so I’m happy to contribute.

I’m glad I really only use it for music, but the fire TV app works decently well. Better than the fucking Netflix app, at least.

I love using this tactic. When I was in the scouts, my troop was attached to a church like many are. One day we were going into the church to do a merit badge class, and the scout leader who hated me (because I was basically him at that age) told me to take off my hat.

Of course, being a teenager who loved challenging authority, I asked why. He said because it was disrespectful to God. I asked him who said it was disrespectful, and he told me it was in the Bible.

I picked up a Bible, handed it to him, and asked him to show me the passage.

I didn’t get to do merit badge class that day.

There are absolutely varying levels of censorship, so saying “everyone censors so this is fine,” is disingenuous.

It’s not at all relevant since it was a router firmware issue.

This was a router firmware issue, not a smart device issue.

They should have just driven away and not engaged with her.

Welcome to the jungle is a good one if you’re looking for a tech job.

But the truth is you’ll have to slog through the bullshit regardless. It took me 7 months and several hundred applications to find my current job, and I basically only got an interview because my wife works here and her boss knows me and works closely with my boss.

Edit: and I took a physical laborer position at the job so I’d already be in the system. I went from making $130k a year to $15 an hour for 16 hours a week just to get a job making half of what I was making, although there’s serious job security.

It must be the Sun that I was thinking of.

Isn’t the Daily Star basically a tabloid, or am I thinking of something with a similar name?

It’s also cute that right wing Christians think they’d be raptured since Jesus would be returning to, in part, punish the shit out of them.

It’s actually the opposite. After your workout, your body will still be consuming calories above your bmr for some time. If you’re fasting, it’s going to shut that down faster than if you have calories ready for it to burn.

Plus, if you have calories ready to burn, you will be able to have a more productive workout than if your body is having to cannibalize fat for energy.

The goal of exercising in losing weight is not to directly burn fat with a workout. The goal is largely to increase your muscle mass so you’re burning more calories a day just existing.

Unless you’re doing an hour plus HIIT workout, the amount of calories you’re going to burn while working out will be about the equivalent of a candy bar and maybe a soda.

To put it simply, I enjoy having sex with genuine female genitalia. I enjoy getting to explore it, play with it, and please it.

No matter how good a surgeon is, it’s just not going to be the same as the real deal.

I personally wouldn’t, but I certainly wouldn’t disparage others who would.

There’s no “right” answer to this question.

That’ll be a fun project for when my wife is out of town next (she’s the one that games on it).

Now that BG3 has a native Linux release, I’ll probably be killing my windows partition on that machine. I need to look into whether a proxmox VM can output directly to my GPU.

These people are Christian in name only. They only care about the Bible when they can use it to justify their selfishness and hatred.

Shit, the Bible says in multiple places that life begins at first breath and even has instructions for an abortion ritual, but it won’t stop them from using their religion to push their pro forced birth agenda.
