I have them both running. The only thing Plex does better for me is remote access. Everything else like UI features, collections, series identication, and CPU usage has been simpler and better looking on Jellyfin.

Maybe this is why he was fired.

I was gonna say… things were looking pretty great today.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought, “AI hillbilly.”

When picking a mind to emulate, it is just practical to start simple.

Is Jewish Elder a title, or are these just old jews putting on airs?

I do, too, but mostly because it makes me laugh. I especially like watching the dumpsters at work getting picked up and then dropped back down harshly and rolled back into the wall like someone throwing a shopping cart into a corral. Peak IDGAF with a potentially lethal machine. Not even sarcastic here, I love it.

I’m still trying to convince my wife that we can wait til our kid even asks to go to Disneyland before dropping that level of coin on a trip. I don’t remember my early childhood trip to Disneyland, but I remember my early teen trip fondly.

I feel like that opens up the opportunity to say they experience rapid aging in that area as well, accelerating cell divisions, right next to areas running at normal speed. Probably wouldn’t be great for the circulatory system.

It’s fun to think about

Whoosh

I like to imagine healing magic as almost a targeted time reversal. Otherwise, things get would get strange when people are overhealed.

My head cannon is also that repeated magical healing increases the risk of cancers and defects when it is shown as a form of natural regrowth. It’s totally worth using in combat if the alternative is death, but you risk shortening your life with repeated use. This helps explain people having sick battle scars and other wounds in most fantasy settings.

The other explanation that would make sense is that healers are exceptionally rare, but since we are heroes in these stories/games, it just doesn’t seem like it to us.

I agree entirely. 👍

We can blame whoever we want, but deaths are deaths. We can even go further and say that the deaths to user ratio makes the disparity even greater.

Hell, we could go completely nuts and say the stamp tax on tea and other goods leading up to the American Revolutionary War led to the creation of the United States, and therefore, all deaths resulting from the actions of the US could be blamed on caffeine.

LOL, definitely not, but I remember the 90s as well when every stoner wouldn’t shut up about weed bringing anti carcinogenic. Weed kills people beside the user. It’s still hugely safe, but bad decision-making under the influence of weed has probably killed more people than caffeine. You could argue the caffeine didn’t kill them. Their other health condition did. The same way we could argue weed didn’t kill anyone, but the drug trade did.

Chevy Bolt EV is $26.5k MSRP. Every dealer around me has it listed at $30k+

I don’t know why the first example you give is a $70k car unless you were trying to push a narrative.

I stick to my belief that the dealerships are tanking the sales due to incompetence, on top of the inflation driving down sales for all cars ICE or EV right now.

There’s a recent anime called “The Great Cleric” that addresses this slightly. People with the ability to heal may charge crazy sums, and even the knowledge of spells that could help may be financially gatekept because of the wealth generated by healing.

I think we, as a people, should stop demanding ceasefires when we aren’t actually in the conflict. It’s all just virtue signaling. The counties actually fighting can be the ones asking for it since it would actually be them having to follow through.

I think this is some 4d chess shit where they realize they can get a bunch of people to void their warranty on their vehicle by making easily bypassable paid service locks in vehicles.

The only way to stop this is with regulations.

It’s a baller move. It probably annoys the person at the customer service counter in the moment, but I respect it.

It’s kind of a weird article. I think it’s OK for the parade broadcasters to not get too elaborate in their comments regarding the floats. No one is tuning in for that, and I think the most receptive viewers to such a message probably aren’t watching anyway.

I’ve never watched the parade because even as a child, it was boring and felt like a commercial. The only people watching at this point are probably doing so out of tradition, and I think that’s fine. There are far more harmful traditions to mess with than blown up cartoon characters strolling through town once a year.

This really is it. I managed a grocery store for years, and the problem these companies have is thinking that the self checkout can replace too many cashiers. Note that it can take the place of 1 or 2, but really, the boon of the self checkout is to really function as the best express lane ever. It should take the heat off your normal cashiers and provide an option best suited for quick purchases under 10 items.

But what ends up happening is schedulers drop their usual front end down from 4 cashiers to 1 and a self checkout host and completely nullify any gains their customers would have gotten from the enhanced service options. People really do like self checkouts but resent the hell out of being forced to use them as a blatant cash grab.
