The problem with pirating Netflix material is that there's nothing new worth watching on it anyways.

We hate you too, asshole!

Yep always silence the messenger, that'll fix it! 👍

Housing and the cost of it is definitely a big part of the problem.

They did a large study of homelessness in California that ended a year or two ago and it concluded that it was mostly the price of housing.

I have like four or five of these.

I just use butter to cook my eggs. I also pay attention to the bonds that the bottom of the egg form with the pan. By using a stainless turner on a stainless pan you can get between the egg and the bonds it's forming with the pan. The more often you manipulate it and make sure those bonds don't form, the more "non-stick" the egg is.

I usually pan flip single eggs cooked with this method because the egg slides around the pan easily.

My wife has a problem doing the same though, so I buy a couple of the disposable Teflon junk pans on a recurring basis.

I've been looking at the pirotech pans which are supposed to be nonstick and fully recyclable, but I've been unable to find a lot of reviews on them.

I played it for just a couple of hours and I understood why you were saying that. It was either dance around like an idiot or make no progress. I didn't like it and stopped playing it.

This is fucking hilariously evil and short-sighted.

🤞 there are mechanical difficulties with it

Ok?

The family should sue the state.

You seem to want to be angry so go ahead. Might I suggest being angry with this white supremacist who was buying ammo for their child to do a school shooting?

It’s a sad day for our species, and barely anybody even notices.

It's kinda like when you're hungry and the hunger pains don't go away until twenty minutes after you've started eating so you eat way too much.

A lot of the major consequences aren't here yet (enough that denial is still possible). People will notice after it's already gotten really terrible and it's beyond obvious that we should've done anything at any cost about it.

Maybe when the arctic circle is springing up palm trees people will understand that it's not a Chinese hoax.

I seem to be the rare person that notices that something has changed slowly and completely (ship of theseus or frog boil style) over time.

I've cancelled and renewed Netflix a couple of times over the last decade but it's really a shadow of what it was at the start like you're describing. Occasionally, they have a single show worth pirating or binging over the course of like a year.

Cable providers have unskippable ads on their own "on demand" platforms. I'm sure they track everything you do on their apps and their (often required for no technical reason) cable boxes. The only reason they didn't participate more in surveillance capitalism is that they didn't have the technical chops. They tried -- and are still trying -- their best to strangle broadband with needless data caps and anticompetitive agreements with alternative ISPs.

Cable companies were also rabidly anti-dvr as anyone who had a tivo can attest to. I'm glad you like your cable provider or whatever, but cable companies suck in the US.

Dude 1992 is tattooed on her neck. It's in the photograph in the article.

No, cable was commercial-free when it first came out just like streaming was. They repeated the ota signals for the broadcast stations which of course contained commercials, but extremely similarly to streaming they started out with a quality and ad-free pitch for their own networks and then wound up pivoting to screwing over the customer any way possible.

(As they continue to do today, btw.)

Streaming just waited to roll out unskippable ads so they could win customers early on with an artificially, temporarily better service.

This is the exact same thing cable did when it came out.

I used this service in a rental for the first time in a few years. It sucks compared to other streaming services. I don't even know what people are possibly watching on this thing.
