Should give them a 3% brick through the back window. /s

For a state that's completely bordered on one side by ocean, and has a decent amount of desert for solar you think we would be desalinating the s*** out of that ocean.
Or if you want anesthesia with your colonoscopy. Because anthem says f*** you you don't get that.
We're organizing Halloween in the neighborhood and my neighbor was talking about doing the scene from the ring. I hadn't seen it so I watched it. A bit slow but not bad.
I then started looking up good scenes for projection from nightmare on elm Street and pet sematary. Kind of skimmed them I had already seen them there not as Good or as bad as I remembered them.
Wait a couple more years you'll be able to feed the descriptions through AI and make really trippy videos
Most likely, I just dedicate an old laptop, a 4k HDMI capture device, store off MP4 and feed it through comskip then take it h265 and store it off.
If I don't do anything tricky with the browser they can't detect that I'm doing anything tricky at all.
The only thing I'm a little concerned about is that they're going to start doing advertising like broadcast TV did and put quarter screen commercials up for other shows in the middle of running shows.
And I use YTDLP now. At some point they will make it inoperable. I'm honestly surprised they haven't sorted it out yet.
Wait, what frequency sets off the....
BOOM
BAOFENG transmits on all frequencies, it's just louder on the ones they intend
If it doesn't I will make something that records the entire f****** stream and removes the commercials out of it the old fashioned way If I have to. Not my first rodeo.
Ahh , yes two sugars please.
Now tell me again why you feel that forcing a mother with a fatal pregnancy to go full term to kill herself is better than a boarding the fetus.
Well you see, other people, not this girl would take advantage of it. And she's in God's hands anyway.
Mmm, this is quite good is it Yorkshire Gold?
And when a child shows up to your door and rings the bell looking for help how is it that you believe you're in the right to shoot them in the face?
Well, you see, man has to protect himself...
I really don't think I could stomach tea with these people.
Saying the internet was better is a haze of nostalgia, a gross underappreciation of new technologies, and a smattering of truth.
Over 38% of the stuff I flush down the toilet is gone forever, too, and that's ok.
The early Internet was interesting only because it was new and different. Most of the stuff out there was low-quality stuff just for funsies projects. The barrier to entry is still very low. Anyone who wants to put up a website with whatever they're interested in requires no technical expertise and isn't even expensive. But you don't see a lot of that because it's not new or exciting and few people are going to waste their time on it. On the upside, you can now throw up your own federated content system with relatively little work and have a huge community for very very little. Things are gone chiefly because they weren't worth saving. Sure, there are exceptions like DPReview, but they even got a reprieve because they were worth keeping.
Before the advent of filter bubbles, the internet was a creative playground where people explored different ideas, discussed varying perspectives, and collaborated with individuals from “outgroups” – those outside their social circles who may hold opposing views.
And how did anyone find those varying perspectives? Everything was unindexed, even search engines were crap. Fark, Digg and Slashdot, link aggregators and forums are the same as they've always been. Are the majority of those conversations gone? Sure, but you can find another 25,000 of them on Reddit, x, Instagram, and Lemmy, and when those are gone, some other service will replace them.
If people are moving to algo-driven social media, it's because they perceive it as advantageous to them. I found the algo ate too much of my time and moved back to diverse and static youtube clients.
Find yourself a nice blue city and move into the suburbs. Lots of good jobs too.
