  • Bed frame?

    Jump

  • That's disappointing to hear. We bought a Malm bed in the early 2000s, and it survived about 12 years and two moves (with disassembly), and was still in decent shape when we sold it. Not exactly BIFL, but surprisingly solid for the cost.

  • From experience, these are also fantastic at mangling your toes when returning to your bed after a pee in the middle of the night.

    Next frame I buy is either going to be the correct height, or have the legs recessed from the sides by a few inches.

  • Long Island iced tea

    Jump

  • On the other hand, a Long Island iced tea from Outback Steakhouse is probably just a shot of vodka in a glass of crushed iced filled with sugary brown concentrate.

  • Sure, that's exactly what I said. Speaking of tools...

  • Calculus is a tool used in science, absolutely. But calculus itself is not science, in the same way that a chisel is not woodworking.

  • What's a lesser known Christmas movie worth a watch?

  • Dang I had forgotten about the Ernest movies. I used to love them as a kid. Nice pull!

  • What's a character who was meant to be liked in a show, but who everyone ended up hating?

    Jump

  • Not sure I agree about Skylar being meant to be liked.

    Despite being an anti-hero, Walter was the protagonist, and the show was presented in such a way that you're generally rooting for him, even if you don't really like Walter as a person.

    On the other hand, Skylar is pretty much doing the sane and rational thing of trying to make the best of an impossible situation (as you noted), but she's still impeding or opposing the protagonist for much of the story. Since the story is being told from Walt's POV, it's hard to truly like Skylar as a character to the point where you are rooting for her. And that contradiction is part of what made the show interesting IMO.

    100% agree though, if you actively dislike Skylar or think she was the worst part of the show, you've missed the entire point.

  • Scams upon Scams

    Jump

  • The insurance you're required by law to carry is liability imsurance that ensures you don't ruin someone's entire life with no ability to compensate them. If you own your car free and clear, its completely on you whether you want to insure your own property.

    Jump

  • 75k is a pittance compared to the damage you could do to another person's property or life while driving. That's the whole point of the legally mandated liability insurance--for most people getting in an accident that results in injury to the other party would be financially devastating. And even worse would be having someone hit you and put you through 250k of medical care with no ability to pay.

    Thousands of people are injured every day in car accidents in the US and about 100 are killed, so its not some kind of unicorn situation.

    If you want to argue about driving being a necessity to live and work, that's a completely separate discussion from why liability insurance is necessary.

  • I know what blue maga means. That's why I asked you to explain why the hell you're so eager to lump anyone who ultimately makes a pragmatic choice in the general election, after all other choices have been exhausted, in with the crowd that has spent months/years actively pushing to ensure the worst possible option is running against a fascist.

    The wildest part is we dont even disagree, so save your fucking smugness.

    Jump

  • I'd love for you to define blue-maga and explain how you think it applies to me.

  • Taking bets on if this person even lives near a Costco, or even on the same continent as one

    Jump

  • The fuck kind of false equivalence is that?

    Holding your nose and voting for the non-MAGA option in the general election is not at all the same as throwing a social media temper tantrum on behalf of your "team", no matter how condescendingly you phrase it.

  • There may be nuances I don't understand.

    You probably could have stopped there, honestly.

    The human body is complex enough that it would honestly be staggering if everyone's body digested, metabolized, stored excess caloric content, and used that stored energy in the exact same way.

  • James Cameron Says if Avatar: Fire and Ash Doesn't Make Enough Money to Justify Avatar 4 and 5, He's Ready to Walk Away and Write a Book to Resolve the One Thread It Leaves Open - IGN

    Jump

  • Yeah, we had Forest Avatar and Ocean Avatar. Now we have Fire Avatar, which still leaves room for Earth Avatar and Wind Avatar before they have to go fight the space cats.

    Each one will have the same story, but still get stretched to 4 hours.

  • Plex is now enforcing remote play restrictions on TVs

    Jump

  • It took me awhile to figure out the correct setup to get Sonarr, qbittorrent, and Jellyfin all to play nicely together, but once you get it figured out, it transparently addresses the problems of folder structure and allowing you to keep seeding content.

    I had the same issue as you, initially, where I had to do a ton of library maintenance in Jellyfin. But since using Sonarr to monitor and import media from torrents to a structured media library, Jellyfin has been pretty hands-off

  • An easy mistake to make

    Jump

  • I don't know how relevant this is, but in English, the word "cloven" commonly refers to the hooves of large mammals that are split into "toes" for lack of a better word. For example, pigs have cloven hooves, but horses do not.

    So it's a little amusing to me that the English and German ways of referring to a piece of garlic are different...but not really!

  • Interesting
