Extrude to a surface, not to a distance. That way if you do resize anything, it all resizes together.

I was going to sign up for pre-check and then I realized I hated the idea. You have to let them do a full background check on you, give your fingerprints, register all of your information, and pay money just to be afforded the same decency that used to be standard. I hate everything it represents.

I cancelled Netflix when they implemented that policy, but they reported that their revenue went up, so most people didn't cancel, and a bunch of people signed up.

It's crazy how consumers just keep eating the higher prices too, instead of rebelling by cutting their spending. I've been wondering if people are just charging everything and we're going to hit a major recession when everyone runs out of credit. I sure hope not! I've already gone through too many "once in a lifetime" economic events.

I like him.

You're forgetting the effect demand has on prices. Studios all pulled their content from Netflix and said "fuck you, pay us". People paid, so here we are. Had people said "No, fuck you! Put the content back on Netflix" then we'd still have $15 for everything on one platform. There was enough demand for companies to sell their products. It's not competition when each service has different offerings.

I don't think that's what happened. Studios fought streaming tooth and nail. But they were willing to license their videos to Netflix because they were a DVD distributor. Then Netflix was really savvy and pioneered streaming, making a killing doing it. Those same anti-progress, greedy fuck studios who fought against streaming saw how much money Netflix was making with their content and spun up their own half-assed streaming services, then pulled their licensing from Netflix. Netflix didn't kill itself, the same greedy people who tried to kill the vcr, fought streaming, and sued Napster users, killed it.

When I was a kid I was convinced that I could do it if I honed my mind sharp enough, and mastered my body. I'm still not convinced that it's impossible, because I didn't have the discipline to achieve perfection.

Haha!

especially long time users - expect things to be where they used to be

Moving advanced settings around is incredibly frustrating for users. Especially now how they have settings in multiple different places, but they do slightly different things. The POs that design these things are weirdos.

Cables can make a difference. If you're running HDMI 2.1 to get full HDR video and uncompressed HD 5.1 or 7.1 audio, then you should use a certified cable because it's a lot of information moving across a cable very quickly. I've tried cheap Amazon cables before and they fail. They get too hot and the devices lose handshake and shut off or throw errors. But once you have a cable that's rated and certified for your intended use, it's not going to get much better.

I've found a lot of user generated posts here to contribute to, but the article thing has started occurring more often recently.

Thanks for the recommendation. I assumed active meant people were engaging, but I guess up-dooting counts as engagement.

I've been wondering if we're losing users. My "Everything" feed sorted by Active is full of posts with zero comments, and a great deal of them are just news article links that were probably automated.

Exactly. The only place where you need to declare both is for the background check.

There are thousands of great books waiting to be made. Why does Hollywood keep revisiting the same 12 stories?

Right? Oh, you need 5 hours worth of work done 1 hour before the end of the day on Friday? It sounds like you should have planned better. Have a nice weekend!

Prestidigitation, and a residency in Las Vegas. David Copperfield was able to buy a private island, imagine what I could do with real magic!

Right? It's so weird that a bunch of blue collar Americans have latched on to a NYC trust fund billionaire, and think he has their interests at heart.

It's not my computer, so I can't do that. Interesting looking project though.
