You can still watch those old films, as long as you are paying a subscription to a streaming service…

And they feel like releasing the content you want to watch. And they don’t try to ruin the experience by remastering it. And they don’t try to ruin the experience by upscaling or recreating the film in a different style. And they don’t triple the price of content that used to cost a quarter of what it does now. And your device is compatible with their platform, service, and encoding formats. And the DRM implementation is compatible with your device, your cables, your speakers, and your ears. And you can pay to access that content in the location you happen to be living in, which is not always your choice. And you don’t have to buy a peripheral device just to access the content. And you trust them not to enshittify everything that you held dear about the original.

And and and… so the studio can keep making money off of them.

For those who already have access to these services.

One time my friend even asked me to put on one of the padded jackets to practice holds on me, because I, a full grown man, is the closest equivalent to what they are dealing with at work.

I may not have the best sea legs, but four or five years of raising the sails on the high seas doesn’t sound so bad these days. People are going to do what they have to in order to scrape by.

While misconduct may have occurred here I have to mention that these rooms are highly important to the safety of these kids.

At special needs schools you can find many individuals who are having a bad day, and they can be incredibly violent to themselves and those around them. I personally know dozens of women who have come home from work with cuts, bruises, sprains and even broken limbs over the years. And these are people who were all professionally trained to hold the children in a very specific manor to both restrain and not harm them at the same time.

That doesn’t make it okay to do the things described here, but once it becomes politicized, you can find people who know nothing about the situation making it way worse for everyone.

An example of an obvious problem here: no one should ever be locked in these rooms, and an aide should always be watching them until they have calmed down from their outburst. The fact that locks even exist on those doors was just a ticking time bomb for something bad to happen to a child.

Zen doesn’t even support passkeys properly. I stopped using it almost immediately after trying it. I attribute it to good marketing and PR as an Arc alternative. Especially after Arc showed their hand very clearly regarding how they’d respond to Manifest v3 and then the recent security fiasco.

When everyone is in the market for a new Browser and you’re selling new ideas, you’ll find a lot of buyers. Hopefully from the ashes of Firefox someone comes out on top though. For now I’ll keep using my customized FF for everything, but I imagine that will have to change in the not too distant future.

You’re human. You’re not even the 1000th person I’ve spoken to on the internet, nor the 1st I’ve met in real life that have asked these questions.

As Lauchs said, physical activity is the closest thing. Start with a hike to a mountaintop or swimming if you’re able to. If you aren’t able to do those types of things, perhaps try something less demanding such as table tennis or a jog through a park.

If you continue to be curious about sex, and are open to the idea, consider paying for it. As long as you are safe and wear protection their is no shame in it despite the societal stigma. You might learn something about yourself, despite the lack of physical sensation.

It’s like a thrilling sport where your team has a chance to win if you picked the right players. At the end of the game everyone may have received a healthy dose of endorphins, increased blood flow, and a feeling of elation.

Everyone has their own experiences, and gets something different out of it, but some things always remain the same.

I met her about 9 years ago or so in NYC through a friend of mine over coffee. At the time she was a democrat with strong views about war, given her past experiences that made sense.

Now she is fully unhinged. Sad to see these people who are so willing to change allegiances just to acquire some semblance of power.

Often saying something can be a huge hassle, so if they didn’t it’s completely understandable. Especially true if their time is worth more than the subscription.

Why does the article make it sound like cooling a data center results in constant water loss? Is this not a closed loop system?

I’m imagining a giant reservoir heat sink that runs throughout a complex to pull heat out of the surrounding environment where some liquid evaporates and needs to be replenished. But first of all we have more efficient liquid coolants, and second that would be a very lazy solution.

I wonder if they’ve considered geothermal for new data centers. You can run a geothermal loop in reverse and use the earth as a giant heat sink. It’s not water in the loop, it’s refrigerant, and it only needs to be replaced when you find the efficiency dropping, which can take decades.

If you read the manual for your microwave you’ll learn a lot about what it is capable of. My Panasonic microwave not only has a sensor cook mode for popcorn, but you can specify the weight of the bag and you can even add or subtract 10-30 seconds to dial it in prior to starting.

I recommend microwaves that have inverters in them, as well as moisture sensors.

Prometheus may even be the best Alien film ever made.

At the time of its release perhaps the original Alien was more inventive, but I’ve watched both well over 13 times each by now, and Prometheus has everything you get from Alien and more. The story of the latest film of the franchise felt like a money grab, and would’ve probably been better if it was adapted for television than the big screen. Ridley loves to spend time on world building, so his ego was probably hurt when Prometheus went in new directions while failing to meet the desired expectations.

If you are concerned by fascism, I recommend calling your representatives and even writing letters to them.

In the case above, a sensible well written letter sent by an individual that was put in power to defend the interests of the American people is not fascism.

It’s important to understand what Fascism looks like. Such as every billionaire bending the knee when a politician gains power, or what we see with Musk in an invented cabinet position. The merger of government and corporate powers which will directly hurt the interests of the people in a state.

My handwriting is publicly available as a font I made from scratch as a teenager, so definitely that one.

Short of a live usb, I think archinstall might be the fastest way to get started on Linux. From beginning to end it took me ~3min the other day.

As long as we can never fully understand when or how it will turn red, and sometimes when you wrap it in towels it stops being red, I’m all for it.

I know someone personally who can finish multiple thousand-page books in a single day, I’ve always been jealous. They are now a librarian, and I’ve asked them many of the same questions you’re asking.

I recommend getting:

• the Libby app (and several library cards)
• a Kindle (or similar device)
• purchase fresh paperbacks

Figure out which format works best for you.

For me, as I’ve gotten older I’ve found that audiobooks allow me to be the most productive, while consuming books. I still have books I will read on paperbacks, but they allow me to take risks on books I wouldn’t want to dedicate as much time and effort toward.
