What a waste of time you are.

That’s just a plus^[1].

I’ve tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they’re popular, but it just never clicked for me.

But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

That’s the nice thing - there’s a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what’s important.

That said, I don’t remember which ones these are, but I think it began with “Sonarr” to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)

The way I read their comment was pointing out that the employer (the school district) should be providing sufficient printing. :shrug: But there’s many ways to interpret, I suppose

Try google, because their sources are better than yours.

You’re right, and when you’re right, you’re dingo dog right, my friend.

Notably, “literally” added its figurative meaning literally^[1] centuries ago.

There’s no one single reason, but the top theories:

1. Tuna oil was a thing before “tuna fish”. Yes, people could have said “tuna” but they didn’t. That’s language for you. People say “ATM machine” and “PIN number”, too.
2. “Tuna fish” has a slightly sing-song pattern to the stressed/unstressed syllables that probably contributed
3. For whatever reason, “tuna fish” tends to refer to canned tuna, whereas “tuna” can include fresh (or frozen) tuna.

It’s… just how language evolves.

I think, however, that “tuna fish” is slowly dying out in favour of just “tuna”. As a 50 year old, anecdotally I have seen the usage decrease in my lifetime.

Your eggs are too loud.

Reddit admins can piss off. I’m currently on a seven-day ban because I dared suggest in terms that weren’t quite indirect enough that oligarchs in the US should be dealt with. I didn’t even suggest how&[guillotines if you must know], just that something should be done.

Two more such bans and I’ll have to create another new account and get my two subreddits to re-mod me.

It’s such bullshit.

It’s also not a threat to suggest what punishment should be meted out for a crime.

So letmme explain how this works: I expressed my opinion about not drinking calories. You’ve offered nothing but a shitty attitude back at me, while I was clarifying that you should, in fact, so what works for you.

So at this point, you can piss off for all I care.

Do what makes you happy and fuck off, kiddo.

Considering that in the US our oligarchs have stolen much of the wealth of the entire nation, a significant percentage of the population has a negative net worth. This is by design. They are essentially getting as close to indentured servitude as they can.

That’s why I only buy Chinese.

dude, buying people is illegal!

;-)

It’s kinda hilarious that propaganda in the US talked about “EU is always watching you” as a part of the propaganda against government regulations. While some places over there are starting to see the rise of fascist parties, I think awareness of the US’s fall into fascism is hurting their cause as people are a little more aware than they might otherwise be.

And while I don’t generally like any government monitoring, if I had to choose, I’d choose EU monitoring over US monitoring any day, considering how our democracy has long been secondary to capitalism (with our own special twist of that old socialist phrase, for us “Taking the resources of the many to concentrate in the hands of the few ultra-wealthy”)

Our oligarchs have corrupted the entire system, and our government allows us just enough to survive while funelling all the resources up to the oligarchs. They have more than they could possibly spend, and they still demand more More MORE M O R E.

Back to cameras: In this case, more data, more control, more intimidation, more fear.

I know a lot of times replies are viewed as “You’re wrong!” but this, if anything, I think reinforces your comment:

I went looking for statistics and couldn’t find any, but did run across these assertions:

1. CCTVs of undefined/all types aupposedly increased crime clearance rates (“solved”) by around 20%. I suspect most of these are higher-quality ones in businesses or on public streets
2. Amazon claims 55% reduction in crime in pilot programs with doorbell cameras but a study by some org of that situation found no statistical difference

Certainly people are becoming more aware of those cameras and perhaps covering up to disguise their identity. So at most they might deter someone from going for your house, but as they become even more common, that effect will probably drop off.

But what if some stranger loses their dog? You could have helped, but NOoOOOOooooo you had to be selfish with your privacy you MONSTER.

Speaking in generalities unfortunately does not guarantee individual results. <3

Do what works for you.

Don’t put sugar in your tea - don’t drink calories.

If sweetening with artificial sweeteners tastes “bitter”, try a trick: Use packets of multiple types - one “equal”, one sucralose, one stevia, for example. You get the sweetness from each and not enough of the background bitterness (which is different).

That’s the main reason Coke Zero is pretty good as compared to Diet Coke - different formula, but they use two artificial sweeteners and get that affect - sweetness from two sources with half the bitterness (since each is different).
