  • Why? The ‘adults’ clearly aren’t doing shit.

    And gen z has the most to lose if shit continues heading downhill..

  • Nearly every herbivore will eat meat if it can. They just aren’t evolved to be good at catching live things. But meat is much better nutritionally than plants, so they go for it when they can.

    If you spend enough time around farms, you’ll see cows eating young chickens or small birds that get too close, if you leave meat lures for animals, deer are often the first that show up to eat it, etc.

  • Last I played years ago I think you could have 10? And that was per server, there were tons of servers to choose from, so if you wanted more, you could.

  • Globalization is so weird.. 😅

  • Yeah I wish it was common in actual grocery stores. I haven’t seen that yet either, sadly.

    But kwik trip/kwik star has it, and those are all over in the states they have stores. And since they have their own distribution network and brands, I’d be kinda surprised if they didn’t have it in a particular location.

  • Yes, I’d consider the midwestern region where it’s available to be “a lot of the US”, even if it isn’t the most common way to get it nor the most populous region. I never said it most people use it, just for the record, so the 14 year old production statistics don’t actually matter here (I’m not faulting you for it being really old, I couldn’t find much for that metric either, but it’s irrelevant either way). It is, however, readily available and commonplace.

    It’s mostly distributed, at least what I know of, by kwik trip/kwik star which (heavily) cover Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, and North Dakota. It’s certainly regional (and frankly im curious if Alaska tends Canadian in that regard), but that’s 6 states with a decent landmass and population, so yes, I’d consider that a lot, since it’s almost certainly not the only option in the US, just the one I personally know of.

  • There’s bagged milk in a lot of the US as well.

    I’ve been using it for decades (Midwest).

    (If you knew, carry on, 😊, I see this a lot when bagged milk comes up and I’m never sure which is joking and which are actually unaware, but it’s so normal to me I find that just weird)

  • Idk about theirs, but my silicone bits are removable. You take them off before you wash them.

  • I don’t have any income at the moment so I’d take this deal.

    But only because I’m curious what a life of leisure with the exact same material conditions would look like, as alternate me wouldn’t be benefiting any more than actual me would be losing out.

  • Why yes, I am capable of shooting myself in the foot at record speed as soon as I open my mouth. In fact it’s mandatory!

    Lovely of you to notice!

  • That raises more questions than it answers for me, but I feel like an intro to docker course would probably solve some of that so I’m not going to bother asking. 😅

    Thank you for shattering my perception ahead of time 😊 it’s been on my to-do list for a solid while but I’m not all that techie so it’s gunna be a bit yet I’m sure before I really understand that answer.

  • What’s the perk of three? Different use-cases for yourself, people unable/unwilling to access?

    Like if I set up jellyfin, I’d leave Plex going for the ease of use for a few home users who frankly I’m surprised remember it exists and is installed on their iPads.. but nonetheless occasionally watch movies on it.

    Beyond my other users (this spurred me to check logs and I do have people using m Plex!!! 🥰), the jelly would mostly be for me, unless it has apps? And even then probably a handful would be willing to change.

    But what about that third one, emby? What’s that do for you? I’ve not heard of it so I’m curious

    Also how can those run in dockers? Aren’t those containers supposed to be, like, sandboxed or whatever? (I know nothing about docker but I guess I have to learn it for some of the things I want to do related indirectly to this, even tho I’m totally unprepared for that task…)

  • With brakes on, this close, and this weather, on an on-ramp, they are probs going 20 mph tops. Probably a lot lower since the cars in the other side appear to be at a standstill. Hence the picture being relatively crisp and clear.

    I come from a land of ice and snow. This is routine for a backup.

  • I still use Plex but I’m considering a concurrent jellyfin server for when it inevitably enshitifies in ways I can’t tolerate.

    I paid for a lifetime like 10 years ago so I def got my money worth, and it costs me nothing to keep using now.. but I don’t want all my eggs in one basket.

    As the server owner, I’ve disabled all of plex’s self-promotional bullshit for now.. and the only people who actually use my server are “home” users, which I have control over, so it’s just not an issue for any of them. Yet.

  • Oh good to hear, I just acquired his dark materials, but haven’t seen it yet.

    There are so many poorly executed great ideas. I’d love to see them redone, whatever format (tho complex stuff does tend to be better serialized… limitedly - end the story when it’s done, not when people give up on it because it fell apart)

  • Mmm it’s really sad but some of the nonstandard acquisition sites (even free ones) are better for content discovery than any service has ever been.

    Because they don’t fucking recommend each other do they? No.

    But the alternative market knows no boundaries. They don’t give a fuck who put what out. “Hey fyi since you like this, you might like this handful of similar things that we make nothing directly off telling you about , but indirectly benefit because you come back”

    The Reddit megathread is one of the only things on that site I still reference. Not great, but better than the alternatives (until I get automation set up then it’s all over).

  • That would be great! I’d love to be wrong about this one.

    I really dislike the “shove them in smaller boxes” idea this seems to have to it, similar to the tiny house “movement” (which actively makes me uncomfortable for a variety of reasons), but in areas that don’t have basements or whatever, where it’s a house on a slab no matter how big, where people just have this “must have freestanding structure to fully own it” mentality (which in a lot of cases is legit, but if we planned for it could easily be handled). This is an option.

    Just my own curiosity, and you seem fun to talk to; where you are from, are your foundations accessible spaces, or are you in a slab foundation swampy area? I ask because I’m from a “has basements” area, where the foundation of the house actually adds space to it. I assume most row houses have basement spaces, because you tend to find them in densely populated areas that existed before modern conveniences like refrigeration and roads. So maybe you’d need a basement to store preserved goods. I doubt there’s space on average to have that in the main space right? (Legit asking, idk, maybe space isn’t right, but root cellars have different conditions, cooler.)

    But I lived down in Texas for a while and a lot of their land you can’t build basements on because it’s really flood prone, so it’s literally just floating concrete slabs on land with houses atop. Honestly if you are going to put houses on that, you might as well do it this way and maximize the space between them with native shade plants to use up the moisture.
