Of course theyll pull the first season, how else would the network drive people to go sign up for their separate shitty streaming site that barely works for an additional $9/mo?

Meanwhile your friendly neighborhood pirate has the first, second, third AND fourth seasons, as well as all the extras and the Christmas special, always available all the time...

Step 1: download all Dropbox files Step 2: delete Dropbox account

The fact that you have to opt out of such an invasive overreach of privacy is asinine and should not be supported.

i'm lucky because they don't exist around my part of the world, so I've just never bothered to visit one

looks like that lifelong streak will remain standing

Or a stock market! Or a 401k investment manager, or...

mine has a backup- it's a coin cell to keep the time saved, not to run the alarm.

i'm sure true rechargeable battery clocks exist that would further solve this problem if I bought one; but that would both require effort to find a good one, and also run against my other boomer habit: being a fucking tightwad lmao

Just keeps me from using the damn thing. Whenever you're in bed you should be sleeping, your brain gets accustomed to that habit of lay down = sleep.

If you have your phone there while laying in bed and decide to pick it up to scroll lemmy/instagram/youtube/whatever, the stimulation and blue light will make you want to not sleep. Plus you might end up burning two hours of your sleep tine and not realize it....

Yeah. A clock with a full backup battery (not judt time keeping) is on my list of things I should get but can't be assed to go look for.

then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass

He doesn't have a chance in the popular vote. He already lost it once (twice, technically). And with how polarizing he's become, only the more extreme fringe actors are outright supporting him, and those with real money want a "safe" candidate that allows them to keep grifting behind the scenes without causing such a big ruckus. He'll lose a lot of big donor support, and people are growing tired of the constant outrage news that he generates.
We've seen how he performs a symphony of a clusterfuck in a 4 year term, and not even the GOP itself is jumping right at the idea of embracing another 4 years of that struggle- they're waffling at the idea, and a lot of the extremist upstarts that got a foothold under Trump now want to knock him out of it so they can have their own moment of glory. But Trump was a one-time shot. He was THE face of "The Big Businessman, doing a Business" that appealed to the older, more bootstrapy kind of crowd that still unfortunately dominates the actively voting public. All the younger extremists are trying to parrot him and can't quite get away with the same level of "crazy" energy without looking actually crazy, since they don't have the gold-plated toilet of "American Success" to back them up.

But regardless of that, will every hard-right extremist fight tooth and nail to ensure he still wins, including but not limited to high treason, rushed gerrrymandering, voter intimidation (or outright slaughter) and the active dismantling of every aspect of democracy down to the local voter box level? You bet your ass they're gonna try here.

I've almost always used PrusaSlicer just because the only printers I had access to were mk3s+.

I've started playing with Cura though because A. i wanted some more complex prints that PrusaSlicer struggled to support, and B. We also got some creality cr-30's functional at my college again. So far I still feel Prusa is easier but that's likely just familiarity.

 

alone

 

a TorrentFreak article got me spooked so I fired up the ol' yt-dlp. Got the entire channel, including comments, description metadata, and thumbnail images.

A significant number of videos were actually unavailable because of an odd YouTube bug where 15+ year old videos were listed as "currently being processed". I may re-run this later (since I ran it in archive file mode) to get the missing videos, as it seems there may be about 300 out of 4911 videos missing.

 

Kid's gotta learn the tricks of the trade somehow

do not resist

 

Just an old manual mill we have at work. It gets used very very infrequently, but I've done a few small things on it that aren't worth throwing up onto the CNC table and writing a program for.

 

LMAO

I don't care if it means I have to give up gpu accelerated distributed computing for the next 6 years because no projects will support it. I am NOT feeding Jensen and his leather jackets another fucking cent.
