  • Oh the horror!

    Jump

  • My dog just startles himself when he farts.

    I'm not sure what's worse... being startled by the sound of a dog fart or being startled by a 60lb dog leaping off the couch without warning.

  • Eternal punishment

    Jump

  • I once got a couple of Amazon Echo Dots as part of a promo. Little spherical devices with about a 3" round touchscreen. To set it up you had to enter your Amazon account info by tapping a keyboard on that tiny screen.

    My password at the time was a random 80 character string, full of special characters. That would have been painful enough, but the password entry box would hide each character a second or so after typing, so it was nearly impossible to keep track of where I was, and whether I had skipped or double entered something.

    I should have just binned them immediately at that point, but I spent probably an hour of typing passwords on those two fuckers--more out of stubbornness than anything else.

  • streaming was a mistake... - YouTube

    Jump

  • My guess is that with TV/Movies streaming you generally sit down to consume a given piece of content in chunks of minimum 1hr, and people rarely watch an episode of one show back to back with another show. So having that content fragmented between services doesn't provide much friction to normal viewing.

    Contrast that with music, where having to switch services to listen to a different album would be extremely disruptive to the way most people listen. The only way that would work is if the separate services were generally clustered by genre, like radio. Having said that, I'm a little surprised that niche music streaming services haven't popped up (like how you have Crunchyroll for anime, for example).

    Jump

  • It sounded like he was being sloppy about stitching together the audio from multiple takes, rather than a distinct decision.

    But yeah, I can't stand that condensed run-on-sentence editing style that so many youtubers have adopted. It has an uncanny valley quality to it that's off-putting.

  • Switched back to air cooling after over a decade on AIOs

    Jump

  • Huh, I have a Fractal Design AIO that's several years old at this point, and I cannot hear the water pump unless I literally stick my head in the case and ramp the speed up and down. I just leave it at 100% full time.

  • I had to say goodbye to my closest companion today.

    Jump

  • Sorry for your loss. No doubt in my mind she was a good girl, having blessed you with 17 years of love and companionship! RIP Riley.

  • Apparently having good credit isn’t enough, unless you’ve already pledged loyalty to the debt system.

    Jump

  • People act like this is some kind of mysterious system, when it all boils down to one simple thing: If you want people to give you favorable terms when asking to borrow their money, then establish a history of being a reliable money-borrower! It's not rocket science!

    Open a credit card or two. Make all your purchases on them (borrow money), and pay off the balance every month (pay back the money). You will never pay a penny in interest or fees, you will easily earn 1-2% cash back, and you have a small buffer in case of setbacks.

    Being financially conservative--i.e., saving a lot and never borrowing/repaying money--may be a moral virtue, but it does nothing to establish you as someone who has a history of paying back borrowed money.

  • How great is Orinoco Flow?

    Jump

  • That NIN/CRJ mashup has absolutely no business being as good as it is!

  • No words

    Jump

  • Exactly! I live in the suburbs, where every driveway seems to have a massive full size truck (because they barely fit in the garage)--and also, where I am 15 minutes away from at least 3 places where you can rent a pickup for like 5% of the monthly payment on one of those beasts.

  • Anon likes trains

    Jump

  • That is so odd... I've only ridden Amtrak a few times, but I was amazed at how many stops were just some small town that happened to lie on the rail line.

    Most small towns that lie on a major highway and are supported by commuter traffic are only going to support a truck stop and a few fast food restaurants at best. Sure, a true high speed rail line would likely only stop in larger metropolitan areas, so those meager income sources may dwindle. But on the other hand if I were a rail commuter in one of those rural/suburban areas, I'd be much more likely to spend some time doing a bit of shopping or lingering in a restaurant during that transition from the train to my car after work, than if I were just passing through in my car.

  • Parsing ICE’s mixed-up, hard-to-believe assault claims | ICE officials keep touting a 413 percent increase in assaults on officers to justify anonymity.

    Jump

  • So they're not just cowardly fascists, they're cowardly lying fascists. 👍

  • c'mon, do a Resist Tyranny

    Jump

  • Read this as "Cmon do a racist tyranny" at first. Like, damn thats pretty mask off, and hello welcome to the last decade...

    But yeah, "resist" works too.

  • *arr stack keeps downloading .arj files

    Jump

  • I get those very frequently the day before a popular show airs.

    I wish there was a setting in sonarr to only grab released episodes (like radarr has) bit it seems like blocking extensions is the way to go.

  • Trying to hide their shame

    Jump

  • On the one hand, as someone who likes to use their garage for garage stuff in addition to storing my car in it, I feel his pain at the too-short garage.

    On the other hand, fucking LOL at buying an unnecessarily large vehicle like a CT without checking your garage size first--and then doubling down by parking it like that.

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

    Jump

  • Good call! Wife and I watched that one on a whim, thinking it would be a good "bad" movie to watch while having a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised!

    You probably need be at least familiar with RPG/fantasy tropes to fully enjoy it, but it definitely felt like it came from a place of love and self-awareness, rather than the cynical cash-grab I was expecting.

  • What would happen to a single human if they were put into the jet of a quasar?

    Jump

  • I'm as fascinated by those shuttle comparisons as anything else!

    On the face of it, I wouldn't have guessed that the space shuttle's power output was measured in gigawatts, nor that the space shuttle's output is on the same scale as an entire country's steam power output (in 1896, sure... but still!)

  • This is how you solve the transgender restroom "problem"

    Jump

  • American here. Aren't you worried about suffocating in that stall, without 1.5ft [50cm] gaps between the floor and the wall, and 1in [25mm] gaps around the door for proper ventilation?

  • The median age of homebuyers is now up to 56.

    Jump

  • This data points to people starting to buy houses later in life, and also continuing to buy houses later in life, but I'm not sure you can say it points to there being more landlords. I have been a repeat homebuyer twice in my life (and probably will be at least one more time), but each time it has just been moving from one SFH to another.

    The biggest thing I take away from this is that waaaay more older people are changing houses these days (downsizing after kids move out or moving to senior-oriented communities maybe?) There's no way that individuals buying rental homes is more than a blip in that green line.
