Here’s a fun selection of grievances against King George III from the Declaration of Independence.

“He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.”

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.”

“For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:”

“For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial:”

“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses:”

“For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:”

Yeah but it also has the 7th highest population in the country and a higher population density than California, somehow.

Orphaned domains like this are interesting, there was a defcon talk, I think, where the presenter bought a bunch of blacklisted orphaned domains just to see if anything would try and connect to them. They got hit with so many botnet clients trying to phone home.

I would double and triple check your not transcoding. Even if you’re watching on the client at whatever the files native resolution is depending on the codec of the file you might still be transcoding. For instance with 1080p anything h265 or AV1 is transcoded into h264 by the server. There’s also a few other situations where Plex with force transcoding or down convert the video whether you want it to or not.

Your NAS shouldn’t be having trouble serving the file to Plex I’d bet it’s transcoding in the background and you just don’t realize it.

YouTube is terrible at this for me, I’ll open a video go to click full screen and right at that moment all the sidebar videos popup and the whole video window shifts left and I end up clicking on another video entirely. This happens to me at least 5 times a week.

Infrastructure week then trade deal week, Jesus it’s not that hard

I’ve only known it as 24 hours of lemons but I don’t know if they carried that name on all the races. I know the one my friends did back in the day was named the “Rod Blagojevich Never Say Die 500”. I know for a fact is a Lemons race though because Jay Lamm was there and gave them an award for something.

Much longer than a decade, I knew some guys that did a lemons race in Illinois about 20 years ago. Wikipedia says they started up in 2006 but I could have sworn I read about those guys before then.

Vps aren’t usually known for anything unless the party wants to push them for a future run. Sometimes they’re thrown something the president doesn’t want to do because they know it’s never going to end well, e.g. Kamala being tossed the border, but mostly the role of the VP is to be seen and not heard.

March of 2020 was absolutely the longest decade of my life.

This is some 7d chess. They’re going to run federal workers on a jury duty system, everyone gets a group number and you call every Monday to find out if you need to come in.

Great now the people nearby have to choose between getting electrocuted or eaten by a nearby shark.

But on the opposite end games are only getting bigger and fast internet is still semi expensive so having large drives would be beneficial to people that want to keep multiple games installed on their PC/console.

I relate so much to this.

You can never be to sure these days.

Nah they probably could have put something together to get them down by now if they really wanted to but there’s been no reason to. They just baked the two starliner passengers into the normal crew rotation and called it a day. They have actual literal seats on a crew dragon that’s currently docked on the ISS and are scheduled to depart the station in March.

Everything has a microcontroller anymore.

ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.

ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

The best way to win the game is actually to aggressively build houses and never upgrade to hotels. I’m pretty sure that the rules as written don’t allow anyone to buy houses if there’s not any house pieces left so if you can get a bunch of the cheaper properties and max out houses you can stop any of the rest of the players from being able to jack up the rent on their properties.

My NAS is on an embedded Xeon that at this point is close to a decade old and one of my proxmox boxes is on an Intel 6500t. I’m not really running anything on any really low spec machines anymore, though earlyish in the pandemic I was running boinc with the Open Pandemics project on 4 raspberry pis.
