  • Talking to my neighbors, they're dealing with a ~30% YoY rent hike.

    Property is managed by RealPage (or some flavor of subsidiary/partner company).

    I really hope that company gets SUNK after the anti-trust lawsuit they're dealing with (it's a really slow moving one, and I haven't heard a substantial update since Summer 2023).

  • I appreciate that they're trying to do something here, but this doesn't feel like it's aimed at stopping actually dangerous people. This feels like it's aimed at beating on people who were already willing to deal with Maryland's already more-strict-than-usual gun laws.

    But I guess we'll see how this pans out in a few years.

  • While not the newest content, it recently caused me to find and finally watch the classics Boyz in the Hood and Training Day, and this weekend I intend to watch Vice. It was also because of Netflix that I first found the new Puss in Boots movie, Blue-Eye Samurai, and Delicious in Dungeon (I generally loathe anime so those last two are fairly significant).

    I think Inside Job and Narcos are Netflix only content? I thoroghly enjoyed both of those (and totally understand why people hate them for canceling Inside Job). My wife enjoyed/enjoys (she's doing a full rewatch ATM) of Orange is the New Black. The two of us also just finished binging Kim's Convenience.

    They also just added some other big name content that were (I think?) Exclusive content on other platforms - specifically thinking Dune, Whiplash, and Joker.

    Between discovery and availability, Netflix adds value to my life in my opinion.

    100% respect for people who disagree and have contrary opinions and/or are outraged at their handling of exclusive content (ngl, I'm not happy with them canceling Inside Job). But it's good enough for me to keep around - that, and my wife is super NOT technically inclined, and I've yet to find a solution outside of a standard streaming deal (read as: anything involving sailing the high seas) that meshes with her willingness to work with it.

    Edit: Spelling is hard.

  • This is more feel than empirical data, but Netflix feels like they've gotten markedly better over the last 2-3 months.

    I get the subscription as part of a membership on some other things, but would not have paid for the service the way it's gone over the last ~2 years. That said after seeing the recent improvements, if my access to Netflix was cut off tomorrow, I'd probably shell out for the lowest non-ad tier of service.

    However, mad respect for the people out there keeping the P2P/torrenting communities alive.

    Edit: spelling errors

  • Attempting to ask similar question:

    I do cold brew but haven't found a grinder that give a consistent grind that's coarse enough.

    My current method is to grind as coarse as I can, and then run through a fine mesh sieve. Even then, I end up with a good amount of grounds making it through the mesh container I use for soaking.

    Is there a go-to grinder people like for cold brewing?
