I’m ready, Trekkie Monster!

Glad I could help. 😁

Freud?

“The Arrival” with Charlie Sheen. (FYI: That’s not Charlie Sheen.)

“Lemon, it’s Wednesday.”

Yeah, I really need answers about that one. My friend leaves his filtered water pitcher on the counter, and he also said it tasted better than from the fridge. Even on summer days when I biked over and was sweating buckets, I could barely stand drinking it. I would rather get it straight from the tap.

Made the mistake of venturing into conservative “safe spaces” and it honestly makes me feel crazy because their arguments and “logic” are stretched so far. It’s like an alternate universe of absolute insanity. What would it take for these people to believe that maybe the guy who has always been a grifter is actually still a grifter? Why are people putting all their hopes and trust into someone like this man? It really hurts my head and, honestly, my heart, especially when I see some family members falling victim to this nonsense.

It makes you feel so melancholy, doesn’t it? Like a decade ago, I really enjoyed this small YT channel where she did blind playtbroughs of Dark Souls games. She wasn’t much of a gamer in the beginning and started it because her boyfriend thought it would be entertaining having a complete noob try dark souls. He was right. Anyway, she worked her way through all 3 games over the course of about 2 years, but stopped part way into part 3 and never posted again. It’s been like 7 years. I think about it every now and then and check on the channel. I always wonder if she okay.

Can’t ibuprofen also damage your liver?

Wow. Now that’s a reference I have heard in a long time. More input, Number 5!

Yes. There is a legit plex app on fire stick and roku. It comes with free live TV and on Demand content, but you can also run your own server on your network with your own downloaded content. If you have an IPTV service you can stream that through plex as well.

Note that Jellyfin is a similar app/server that works the same way and is totally free. Plex is also free, but there are additional features behind the pay wall like GPU decoding, PVR service for IPTV, and others.

Life, uh, finds a way.

I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.

4 year olds, man. They’re ruthless.

dude, wtf? That literally happened to me today. I was bringing my kid a bowl of strawberries when I stepped right on top of a little toy house. Me on the floor. Strawberries all over the place. And all my kid could say was “wow, that was scary,” and then went back to playing. Savage.

If your phone supports esim, you can actually get free data for 90 days from tmobile. I used it on my last trip to the states and it worked perfectly. I was even able to make calls, which you’re not supposed to be able to do. Here’s a thread about it.

Yes, true. I was specifically referring to streaming of non-live content.

To your second paragraph, that’s a good question. I work for a company that provides live linear streaming along with our non-linear service, and last I heard, the live stream still had the majority share of views. I was a little surprised by that because of the size of the VOD offering, but then I remember how people just love throwing on the TV for noise and not think of it.

Further to that, I occasionally use Pluto, and I find that it’s often easier to just throw on the South Park live channel vs. navigating to the VOD channel and picking an episode. Maybe I’m just one of those old people. Lol.

Would it blow your mind to know that streaming/VOD is also known as “Non-linear TV”? 😁

Probably get it for my birthday and then not play it for a few years. 😁 But really, I want to get it, but it’s $90 here and I just can’t justify that. I’ll probably wait a few years for it to finally drop to $70 then get it. Lol. Also, I keep telling myself I should get through my backlog of games before I buy more…

You’re exactly where I was. Lol. For the longest time I was sure I was going to get a 3060ti because the 3070 was just too expensive. Then as prices started dropping and secondhand cards were getting so much cheaper, I was inclined to open up my options. After reading a lot, I decided that the extra vram would serve me better for a long run with the card, especially since I was generally finding the 6700xt going for less than the 3060ti and 3070 on FB marketplace.

And as you said, the recent business practices by Nvidia definitely weigh heavily.

Played it for like 30 minutes, but never found the time to dedicate to it. Then over Christmas last year I finally had the chance to dedicate to it.
