Depends on how long it will take and what value your time has. Replacing the door gasket in an LG washer is somewhat ridiculous. To get lint out of the heating element on their dryers even more so.

I got covid last year. It triggered an autoimmune response and now I have rheumatoid arthritis. Lovely as I just had an lrti on my thumb for osteoarthritis. Being active is good, but some days it's hard to get out of bed knowing how much my feet are going to hurt as soon as I stand up.

Everything hurts and I'm hungry all the time.

That's not a war you fucking putz.

Looks like the genocide is going stronger than ever. Congratulations.

I would accept that in 2016. This time around you dipshits knew what the result of your apathy would be and did it anyway.

I don't think it works that way for personal payments. My gf venmos me that or more all the time for her share of the bills. It's not income.

"savings" was never the goal. Deregulation was. If you destroy the agencies that make you protect the environment, ensure your food is safe, and that you don't get sick, there is nothing in the way of removing controls that make capitalist billionaires do those things.

Good. Maybe something will finally happen to address this nonsense then.

It was alarming the first time around. It isn't now. This country is filled with blissfully stupid people.

Simple calisthenics and stretches every morning. Hip extensions, shoulder rotations, toe touches, etc. Quick and easy and feel much better after. I do these during breaks throughout the day.
After work it depends on time of year and weather. Kayak, mountain bike, snowboard. Hiking or rail trail is fine too.

I've got news for them. My finances will be ok, and I'll still be able to retire someday. I'd wager this will have less of an impact on me than on the magat trailer trash around here.

Unless you do things that need gear. I wish there were trains you could just drive your car onto networked across the country.

Stunned? Have they not been paying attention? The scotus themselves ruled the fanta menace can do WTF he wants with no consequence.
It will happen eventually

Xkcd's was clever. This is stupid.

If there is no expandable storage, you have to buy the 2x expensive phone with more internal storage. That's the game they are playing.

Believe it or not, advertising on the Internet was originally highly frowned upon. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Canter_and_Martha_Siegel

It'd be nice if all of these protesters had bothered to vote and not with protest votes.

The app doesn't matter. Wrong fucking network.

Seems secure. Hope Bobby tables doesn't try to look up his tax return.

Trailers for movies and shows on Plex "Content is unavailable in your country"
See title. Trailers for my local content all play fine. If I want to play a trailer to see if interested in stuff on plex's own streaming service, I get that error.
The movie itself will play fine. The trailers will not.
My Plex server bypasses my pihole.
This is US. Comcast business class line with static IPs.
Happens on all of my clients. Phone. Shield. Onn Android TV.
I have a Plex pass.
WTF?

Tidal Replacement
Now that tidal integration is dead, a good option I've used before is livexone (formerly slacker). While i loved having everything in one place, I prefer not having to buy/rip or download the huge catalogs available elsewhere. And now that music seems to be going away in plex clients in the roadmap as well, i decided to find another solution sooner.
The ui isnt the best, but is far from the worst. How I use it:
- star an artist to add them to your list of artists
- then immediately also add that artist to each custom station you want them to be a part of
- while playing your custom stations, use the dot menu to fine tune how much outside of the station can be pulled in. This, imo, is live's killer feature. Similar music is based on the whole list of artists in the station, not just a single artist.
- grow your artists and playlists by browsing related.
In addition to this, livex also has genres, curated lists, new music lists, and podcasts.
It also has apps that do not suck on

Shout out to rclone
I needed to move a lot of stuff from dropbox to an AWS EFS today. The dbxcli tool does not do full directories, nor does it differentiate files from directories. Its 'ls' output is far from ideal for machine parsing as well.
I had resigned myself to spending most of my day writing something to parse and download recursively.
Then I stumbled on the fact that rclone supports dropbox as a remote. Hallelujah!!! Within minutes I was cloning things from dropbox to my EFS.
I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I am tasked to move things from a transfer-hostile cloud system.

Tidal integration going away


This royally sucks for me. I like having my own local library integrated with Tidal.

Android Auto won't connect with screen off
I don't know if this is an android auto problem, or an android 14 (crdroid 10) problem. Wired usb connection. Have tried different cables with same effect. I did not have this problem before (Android 13). My phone has AA 10.9.634644.
If the phone is locked when connecting to the car, I get a connect/disconnect loop. This continues until I unlock the phone, and then things are fine after a few seconds, and I can then lock the phone again.
If I connect to the car with the phone unlocked until AA connects, and then lock the phone, everything is fine.
I have android auto configured to connect with the phone locked, and have disabled USB debugging.

Delete unused instance accounts?
Is there a way to do this?
