Conservative parent is sad his daughters aren't coming for thanksgiving after voting for Trump
  • Shocking his three daughters don’t support a felon who publicly brags about sexually assaulting women and wanting to bang his daughter.

  • I think it's a group of hard core stoners or something....
  • I asked a guy at the bar if I could say hi to his dog and ended up chatting with him and his wife for a bit. He asked if I smoked weed and mentioned he worked for a single-use vape pen manufacturer, then pulled out a sealed pen he gave me. I laughed and told him this was the first time since DARE that a stranger had actually given me drugs.

  • I’m ready to go to bed but it’s currently illegal to move, open to suggestions.

    Tucker doesn’t have much time left, so I’ve been borrowing him for brewery walks.

    I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction?
  • Keep at it. I had similar symptoms and tried a handful of SSRIs that made no difference for me, and gave up for a while, but my current doctor got me on a SNRI that did the trick.

  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades
  • Yeah, I think if you’re familiar enough with Plex, it’s not a huge deal. But I did find myself annoyed at how much more difficult it’s going to be to onboard all my friends who use my server and get the update (as well as new people).

  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades
  • I just tried the TestFlight preview. The main page was full of junk when I first loaded it, but I went to the library tab and set my personal libraries in the order I want and my main page is back to normal.

  • What are you just done with after giving it so many chances?
  • My parents and their endless bigotry.

  • I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all?
  • Yeah, I’m in the “you guys” zone and I say y’all, it’s always better received.

  • There really aren’t enough novels about aimless, gay werewolves called Brian... ― Sunday Times, Books to Watch in 2023

    My expectations have been exceeded.

  • a peaceful place
  • What book is this?

  • Tesla recalls Cybertrucks for faulty inverter, the 6th recall this year
  • It’s a trip seeing them around. Somehow they look even worse in person.

  • 'I felt like a freak because I didn't want children'
  • Wtf. I told the doctor I would rather be alone forever than have a kid in the consultation before my vasectomy and was snipped 15m later.

  • How many bedrooms / bathrooms does your place have?
  • 1 bed/bath to myself (and my cat). Happier here than anywhere I’ve been with a partner.

  • What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?
  • Birthdays make me so uncomfortable. Even when they’re mentioned in work chat and it’s flooded with gifs/“happy birthday!”s, I just don’t get it.

  • Elwood Edwards, Voice of AOL's 'You've Got Mail,' Dead at 74
  • Those birds are crazy. My dad and I painted our neighbor’s house one summer when I was a kid, and at the end of each day I’d call her name out and let her know the status. After we finished, her African Grey would call her name in my voice every day so well that she thought we were still there.

  • I don't know how to feel about this
  • It seems so. Here’s an article with some more information and a higher resolution image (though the image still looks like CGI to me).

  • What's something unique that you carry on you every day?
  • My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.

  • Do You Like Working Under Pressure
  • I don’t even like working.

  • How true is it?
  • Even got the zoom-out effect. If you’re nearsighted, totally accurate.

  • How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?
  • I’m in favor of calling it X because it’ll die quicker.

  • Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop?
  • Tbh it’s made a pretty significant improvement in my life as a software developer. Yeah, it makes shit up/generates garbage code sometimes, but if you know how to read code, debug, and program in general, it really saves a lot of grunt work and tedious language barriers. It can also be a solid rubber duck for debugging.

    Basically any time I just need a little script to take x input and give me y output, or a regex, I’ll have ChatGPT write it for me.

  • Is there a way to precisely locate a Qi charging coil on a device?

    I have a Snap Grip Luxe on the back of my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which has wireless Qi charging but is not magnetic. On phones, the Snap Grip allows for passthrough wireless charging, so when I mounted it, I held my Kindle up to a wireless charging stand until I found the spot where it started charging, marked the top of the back with some tape, and mounted it roughly where I thought the charging coil might be (though there's some uncertainty because I don't know exactly where the charging hardware is inside my stand). It doesn't work.

    It's possible this feature just doesn't work with the Kindle, but I have a new Kindle arriving soon and will have another shot at this, so I was curious if there was some way I can precisely locate and mark where the charging coil is on the back of my new Kindle to at least eliminate that factor. Any ideas?
