  • TrueNas is pretty top notch and offers a variety of storage and protocol options. If you're at all familiar with Linux style OS, it should be pretty easy to work with. Setting up storage comes with a little bit of a learning curve, but it's not too bad. This SAN/NAS OS is polished, performant, and extensible. If you're not planning on using SMB or Samba, you can most certainly use NFS, or iSCSI if that's your thing.

  • Housecat. Cats are always in charge.

  • Buy defense contractor stock, start more wars, profit

    Go berserk with tariffs, start more trade wars, profit

    Force stores to pay you protection money to sell a previously banned product, profit

    Same as it ever was with this asshole

  • Bocce

    Billiards/Pool/Cue Sports (personal fav)

    Darts

    Curling ok I was wrong about this one. Seemed pretty laid back but it sounds more intense than I had thought!

    I'd hazard to suggest playing cards or board games, still has the element of challenge/sport, but doesn't require too much exertion.

    Possibly E-Sports if you're into that sort of thing. Let the game console / computer do the running.

  • A lot of our residential infrastructure is underground, because of the weather we have. Though, there's a fair amount of aerial hardware as well. Where I live is famous for ice storms, and every few years there's a major outage that lasts anywhere from 12 to 48 hours. They're rare, but they do occur. More often it's because someone hit a pole or ground mount transformer, versus a falling branch or lightning bolt.

    I still prefer ice, snow, and occasional outages to unbearable heat and humidity, earthquake, and hurricane tradeoff being further south or west.

    To answer OP, there's a visible change in road surface and signage not only at state borders, but even between county and town lines. Each county handles the road a different way, and the finish/quality can differ a LOT even between municipalities and counties.

  • If I learned anything from video games, it's that you need a distraction to draw them away.

  • "India's doing some bad stuff. Terribly bad. It's Tremendously bad. As Americans, you all need to pay me extra for it"

  • The trade wars, crashing economy, and broken foreign relationships are just the unexpected side effects from using tariffs to steal taxes from citizens without understanding their implications.

    It was never about trade relationships, despite what they tell you. With trump, priority number one is ALWAYS about separating others from their money.

  • According to the Flag Code, the proper disposal method is to burn it.

    Every day we get embarrassed as a country by this dipshit in new and profound ways.

  • You got a reverse split.

    In some cases, stock performs so well and the shares become so costly that the shares get split into smaller pieces. You may own one share that gets split into 2, 5 or 10 shares.

    In the reverse scenario, stock that performs badly will sometimes undergo a reverse split. THis combines shares, so your share count is reduced, despite the share cost going up.

    I had a reverse split happen with some canna stock I bought, I had 100 shares nosedive and they reverse split it to 10 shares. It's somewhat common for this to happen in either direction.

  • In the American version of Ghosts!, one ghost (Hettie) very much enjoys sitting on the washing machine for this reason.

  • NO MO CUOMO

    fuck off, we didn't want you then and we don't want you polluting our election now. With multiple dem candidates it's going to favor whomever R is running by splitting the blue vote.

  • Yes it just came out recently. It's a single season, and it's excellent. I think it's on Netflix.

  • You might be interested in watching the series "The Terror". It's not pirates in any way, but it chronicles the voyages and slow descent into madness of The Terror and The Erebus crews of Franklin's lost polar expedition. It's nautical, dark, has some supernatural elements, and may scratch your itch. I thought it was excellent.

    Edit: there's another supernatural nautical series called 1899. It was created by the same people as DARK (one of my all time top rated series ever). It wasn't anywhere near as good as DARK, but it was an interesting watch. It's rather hard to describe it without giving anything away, but it's set on an oceanliner at sea in 1899, and strange things start happening. It's similar in nature to The Terror so I thought I'd mention it. The Terror is far, far better IMO.

  • And to think I was actually considering hitting that "upgrade to w11" button.

  • I just finished ViewFinder. It's peaceful, surreal, beautiful, and poignant. Highly recommended if you like puzzle games. The end hits you in the feels.

  • There are a number of collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy alternative types of media. It was an experience listening to music on tape and hearing the hiss of the tape. It has a different sound to it, sort of like vinyl.

    If there's money to be made, they'll find ways to get it. If that means selling tapes, they'll sell tapes again. Records are still back in style and being mass produced again.
