Hmm, I think the family leading up to the show seems like it might be kinda Arrested Development, but during the show I don’t think they really ever do anything “evil”.

Yeah probably while making a tool/smashing something. Knocking two rocks together, create a spark on accident, boom fire.

You’d probably be better served by a retro handheld. A lot of them run android so you can play android games, but the built in controllers make emulating actually enjoyable.

Major issue is that the ones cheaper than a switch struggle with 3D games.

If you have the money, steamdeck is definitely one of the best bang for buck, but it’ll probably be more expensive than a switch (unless you can find a deal on a used/refurbished one).

There is also dead cells, slay the spire, monster train, disable immortal, etc.

However, those are also all playable on switch too. Technically you can emulate the switch on android, but I think this brings up the biggest flaw in gaming on android; you’re either emulating or streaming for most good games.

But that’s kinda the flaw in all of it. If I live with other people, any one of them can let the vampire in, but he never got permission from me then it’s not about individual permission.

If we say anyone with authority over the space can let someone in, then that would probably extend to the law or property owners.

Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.

Not sure how much I trust Trump, but yeah Mike Lee (who introduced the bill) is someone who just likes introducing bills. The fact no one else joined him means this article and conversation is about all he could expect to actually happen.

You’re right, but people over a certain tax bracket are also pretty good at not paying taxes.

Really you should have it direct to a clone of the site, but with fake accounts pushing whatever agenda you want.

Just want to expand on this as it’s the most direct explanation.

With two die there are 6 ways to you can roll a seven (each side has one way to add up to seven), and 36 total combinations (6 sides * 6 sides). So the odds are 6 times out of 36 or 6/36.

With one weighted die, you have a set value (say 3 for example). There is only one side on the other die that will equal 7 (4 in our example). So you have 1 out of 6 possibilities, or 1/6 chance.

However, this is only true for 7. If you were targeting 2 for example, the odds can change substantially. Normally you have one way to get 2 (1 and 1) so you’d have 1 out of 36 possible rolls or 1/36. If the weighted die was weighted to 6 though, you’d never be able to get 2, so your odds would be 0.

I always thought the simplest way to do it is to pass laws that require every website to provide a rating/content description and then leave it up to the end user to set acceptable levels. We don’t get mad for kids watching the wrong content on TV.

Websites could be fined for either not providing or providing incorrect classifications.

If people don’t want their kids to see that stuff, make sure the parents have the tools to enforce.

I don’t expect DHS pushback (policy wise), but I do suspect they won’t get all the money Trump was asking for.

There is also a lot of belief that the BBB won’t get settled before July 4th. Given that it’s still getting passed back and forth between the house and senate and they only have next week.

This may be more of an opinion, but Trump hasn’t really done anything too crazy when it comes to money (the biggest line I think he crossed was moving some defense funds around for his wall in his first term).

As for the starting a war without congress. That’s a tricky one. Technically the US has given a lot of emergency powers to the President so that he could potentially drag the US into a war, but to sustain it would require acts of Congress.

From my recollection, and I could be wrong, the major issue is that passing the budget has gotten intertwined a bit with the Big Beautiful bill. This is largely due to issues around tax breaks and other legislation in the BBB having budget impacts. So I had thought that the general consensus was the BBB would need to pass before there was a chance of the budget going forward, but I may have some of those facts backwards.

That budget hasn’t been passed yet to my knowledge. Not to mention the president’s budget request never makes it through, as the house and senate always have their own priorities.

It’s cause he can’t dictate that. Tariffs are just income to pay bills, congress sets budgets and even they aren’t too happy with a budget that’s increased spending. So it’s even likely his increases to ICE DHS that he requested won’t make it through.

He could try to siphon money from elsewhere, but that’d just get caught up in the courts (and he’d probably loose as congress owns the purse).

Yeah, it feels like Iran would be more like the end of Vietnam in terms of public opinion.

I also don’t think Iran is going to do anything to make war more appealing (especially given they can just focus efforts on Israel).

I saw Boox called out, but not the Boox Palma². I just got it and it’s been pretty nice. The major draw is the form factor though as it’s phone sized making it pretty portable.

It runs android and I’ve set it up to work with AudioBookshelf and Komga

AudioBookshelf, while designed for audiobooks, allows you to download books for offline reading and seemed the best all in one for books self hosting. It also has a native android app.

Komga seems pretty amazing for manga and comic books (haven’t settled on an app, just using the browser now). The e-ink display isn’t the best for reading this medium, but it’s not terrible for black and white comics.

Since both of those are self-hosted solutions they could integrate with readarr pretty easily (although audiobookshelf’s folder structure can be frustrating).

Yeah, that would be my recommendation too. Anything else will produce a worse experience (laggy and slow) and more complexity to get setup/maintain.

Yeah, I thought the big problem was mixing good and bad morrgages together to make the securities look like a higher quality mixed with somewhat unrestrained lending. So you had securities with high ratings containing junk mortgages passed around as a financial asset. When mortgages started to default, all those “high quality” assets began to sour.

Essentially securities are just an asset vehicle and have no intrinsic issues, it was how mortgage securities were being packaged that was an issue.
