  • every one who's in a house is going to hate loosing that value

    False. I'm in a house. I want to live in a different house. I can't afford a different house. Make houses cheaper.

    That said there is some financial fuckery that can happen with house prices reducing. Particularly if you end up needing major repairs (though that's just the nature of owning...)

    Housing price stagnation seems an acceptable medium.

    upsetting that category of voters

    I postulate the criticalist category is the >70 crowd, for the following reasons:

    1. They vote.
    2. They don't work much, so existing assets and pensions are the main finances in their life. Owned housing is probably the biggest part of that portfolio; with little chance of opening up new revenue streams. This makes them the most vulnerable to (real or precived) decreases in housing stock value.
    3. They may be, or are planning to become, reverse mortgaged.
    4. They vote.
  • Jellyfin on the firestick. Remove internet access from the stick (LAN only).

    Alternatively, DNS block amazon communications (Pihole, adguardhome, etc).

    Edit: you can also install adguard, or other ad blockers directly onto your firestick.

    Edit 2: there are also a number of ad preferences burried deep in the settings. My fireTV has no adblocker, but only displays static banner ads on the homepage.

    1. Inspect magazine, insert magazine.
    2. Depends on the type of gun, probably 1.
    3. Insert round, insert charge bag(s), close breach.
    4. At 7 and 4 I'd recommend a semi-prone pairs hold. Operator (7 year old) places the lanucher on shoulder, holds trigger handle, holds andrests secondary handle on something, looks forward through sight. Partner (4 year old) hugs operator for stability, looks rearward to keep backblast clear. Due to the low mass of the crew, they should be very careful to ensure the system is is completely recoilless.
  • I used to only fly for work, and only in the middle of the weekm i thought complaints about the whole process were overrated.

    Then I flew for a personal trips on a Saturday. It was NOT the same experience.

  • The Homer Simpson car, while it has its faults, is unironically better than everything in the SUV market.

    1. Sure it's got the pop up logo triangle, but the front is still overall better.
    2. Great viability, check out that dome. The design choices naturally focus the server outside the car rather than on instruments.
    3. Back seats also have a big dome to look out and realise there is a world outside the car, it's not just an iPad screen to fast-travel. Again, the focus is on what's outside the vehicle, not in it.
    4. On screens, there in not a single screen in that car.
    5. Low-loading height, height clearance, deep truck. Probably more on par with a van than an SUV.
    6. Low laying headlamps with standard incandescent bulbs, nothing that can temporarily blind people.

    Sure it has rear-view viability issues, and the horn (and multitude of horn buttons) is problematic. But the Homer Simpson car is a good people and stuff mover. Could probably do without the shag carpeting though.
