The problem is not fast food prices, the problem is stagnated wages.

Oligarchs. Guillotines. That’s the solution.

I’ve tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they’re popular, but it just never clicked for me.

But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

That’s the nice thing - there’s a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what’s important.

That said, I don’t remember which ones these are, but I think it began with “Sonarr” to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)

You focus on one phrase I wrote (to support my statement) at the expense of everything else I said. I assume because it sounded like I was disagreeing with you, when I was jumping off your comment to make a broader point about oligarchs being the cause. :)

The way I read their comment was pointing out that the employer (the school district) should be providing sufficient printing. :shrug: But there’s many ways to interpret, I suppose

Try google, because their sources are better than yours.

You’re right, and when you’re right, you’re dingo dog right, my friend.

Notably, “literally” added its figurative meaning literally^[1] centuries ago.

Fascists appreciate your support.

I play AoE these days because it has - relatively speaking - more real units. I do wish there was an AoE or C&C type game that used just realistic troops and vehicles and such. Seems like we have the computing power these days for a much larger-scale area of battle where you could command troops and vehicles over a small city sized map. Still RTS with fog of war and such… Maybe better simulated behaviours for the troops. But command your groups of military to go take out targets or attack positions and take terrain and such…

Seems like it’d be awesome, but nobody has done it.

There’s no one single reason, but the top theories:

1. Tuna oil was a thing before “tuna fish”. Yes, people could have said “tuna” but they didn’t. That’s language for you. People say “ATM machine” and “PIN number”, too.
2. “Tuna fish” has a slightly sing-song pattern to the stressed/unstressed syllables that probably contributed
3. For whatever reason, “tuna fish” tends to refer to canned tuna, whereas “tuna” can include fresh (or frozen) tuna.

It’s… just how language evolves.

I think, however, that “tuna fish” is slowly dying out in favour of just “tuna”. As a 50 year old, anecdotally I have seen the usage decrease in my lifetime.

Your eggs are too loud.

Reddit admins can piss off. I’m currently on a seven-day ban because I dared suggest in terms that weren’t quite indirect enough that oligarchs in the US should be dealt with. I didn’t even suggest how&[guillotines if you must know], just that something should be done.

Two more such bans and I’ll have to create another new account and get my two subreddits to re-mod me.

It’s such bullshit.

It’s also not a threat to suggest what punishment should be meted out for a crime.

So letmme explain how this works: I expressed my opinion about not drinking calories. You’ve offered nothing but a shitty attitude back at me, while I was clarifying that you should, in fact, so what works for you.

So at this point, you can piss off for all I care.

Do what makes you happy and fuck off, kiddo.

“Many files are too large to open… There are many files that are completely invisible to us,” one email read.

This sounds incredibly fishy to me. There’s ways of opening files. Even if you’re not technical, you can surely understand that if the file system can see a file and make a copy of a file, you can access it, even in parts.

Perhaps they’re too inept to figure it out.

Considering that in the US our oligarchs have stolen much of the wealth of the entire nation, a significant percentage of the population has a negative net worth. This is by design. They are essentially getting as close to indentured servitude as they can.

Fuck Obama and his pyrrhic legacy.

:rolls eyes:

If you have major problems with Obama (i.e. outside of disagreements with individual things, but enough general disagreement that you’re all “fuck Obama”), you are part of the problem because nobody will even be good enough for you.

I disgree with the sub-point about plan-making. I’m 50, but thanks to health issues^[1] I’m not likely to last another decade^[2]. But while I do think about my probable looming death somewhat, I don’t fail to make any plans because of it. As far as I’m concerned, I’m going to live forever - until I don’t. I mean, that’s what my brain thinks.

But I don’t think most of them probably think about death until they get ill.

I’m not so worried about old people in politics - I think there should be a mix of young and old. You need strong young voices pushing for progress, and you need old experienced voices who have seen all this shit before and know how to deal with it.

What we don’t need in politics is control by our oligarchs, which is what we have now that’s broken our democracy.
