I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven’t fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC’s and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it’s better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.

Me forgetting AI can be used for such things: “dang that was a well written email, and how clever to turn it into a bullet point so quickly, better up my game…”

I usually put my cart away if the parking lot is full. Otherwise, that’s what they pay the cart wranglers for, to wrangle stray carts. I even used to work at Kmart decades ago as a cashier and wrangled charts when the lines died down, so if the lots not full, and the employees are paid to recover the carts and as I know, it’s a nice break to wander the parking lot instead of ringing people up, idk who is really upset about carts being left to their own devices… It does suck when the wind blows a cart into you or your car, but that’s pretty rare… I do make sure my cart doesn’t just roll off when I’m done, no need to send a cart missile careening across the parking lot, but otherwise I’ve never seen a good reason to not leave your shopping cart in an empty lot.

Yeshua Hamashiach, the person modern Christianity knows as Jesus, rumor according to records that have been found, show not only did Yeshua actually exist, they were likely light skinned. That doesn’t mean they were white, and since we have no living person to question, and assuming the romans were being correct in their documents(I think romans, I’m being lazy and not looking it up, also it might be buried in a tome somewhere, or a history journal where they classified someone known as Yeshua Hamashiach as roman inflection or some such meaning lighter skinned), Yeshua might have been somewhere between Ricky Ricardo and the Weekend. Also I’ve never found a lick of evidence for turning water into wine, so not saying the miracles are true or not(miracles can happen, tho I do wonder how many miracles would actually be miracles if we just understood the actual process taking place), but Yeshua Hamashiach, aka Jesus seems to have actually existed. Probably a granola eating hippy type that preached about equality, and freedom for all, and was the first to do so and melted everyone’s damn mind…

Who is the ruling class so afraid of they decided AI was going to be used for military purposes? Not the people happily doing as they are told. They don’t fear the compliant. They fear the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and cunning of those that have never been content with just being told what to do.

E=mc2 could be a shower thought if you haven’t learned it before… Yes in the course of all of human history someone might have thought of it previously, and whoa to history if maybe they weren’t in a shower, but the white noise, and warmth of a shower can allow your brain to chew on things you may never encounter in the world, and indeed be born of a showering state of being, indeed I would be surprised if most shower thoughts hadn’t already been thoroughly documented by some scientist looking to be the next George Washington Carver. Shower thoughts do not have to be original, but they should at least shed light on things in a way you, and maybe most people, wouldn’t consider. Personally, I hadn’t considered why my brain does that since I at one point was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder(gad), and frankly every moment was terrifying, and my brain and myself were just stuck in a cycle of nightmare scenarios, and now that I’m past that, it makes sense why sometimes I remember cringe scenarios and it isn’t gad starting to take hold again.

Too many failure points. Cheaper, more efficient, and more strategic to have houses with SOME kind of solar power generation built in that feeds the appliances… Bonus points if it uses resources that are abundant around the area…

US citizens when it’s time to replace democrats and republicans? We sleep. US citizens when their favorite sports team wins OR loses a big game? We riot.

Who do we charge with terrorism for people being forced to watch their loved ones die from preventable causes that were denied treatment and cures by insurance companies? Asking for some revolutionaries I might or might not know.

If only the American people weren’t addicted to republicans and democrats. This might not happen.

I hate most people. I choose to have to no friends and to fuck no one, cuz I pretty much hate everyone. Some dudes are cool, but I’m not into penis. Everyone else pretty much is awful and I’m better off with just me, my 3 dogs, and all the time in the world. Life’s good so long as the assholes keep their asshole existence out of mine.

My user name on all my PC’s(non root) is literally Master, my PC’s are all Slave, slave1, slave2. I will fight to keep them that way. I am also extremely anti slavery for sentient creatures. Words matter in the context of their intent. Dumbing down of the language by forcing alternate uses of a word to mean something other than its obvious intended use is evidence of dilusional minds. Pure and simple, they don’t deserve a seat at the table.
