Woah woah woah. His punchability doesn't compare to the absolutely smashable Mitch McConnell

Worse. Exposing Jellyfin to the internet is a bad idea given the teams stance on security. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415#issue-824791596

The only safe way to host jellyfin is with a vpn.

The problem it solves is that most small airports are located miles away from the communities they serve. That isn't an issue with a car, but it does suck when traveling.

Uber/Lyft have mostly solved this problem. However. There are plenty of small rural communities or small vacation destinations which are too rural to have taxis or uber/lyft.

Is it worth it? No. But it's a legit problem

This is more complicated than you think. The vast majority of airports in the US are tiny little things you would barely know are there unless you're a pilot. Most don't have rental car services. Many are in communities where even lyft/uber are not available.

The flying car thing is still pretty dumb. But it's not as dumb as it might first sound. One of the #1 problems my family has when we fly our (very small, very old) plane on trips is how to get from the airport to anyplace reasonable.

Woah woah woah. Not even close to true. The only things you can fly without a license is a single seat ultralight, paramotor, and similar things that most people would barely think of as a plane. There are very specific and restrictive requirements, both on the aircraft and what you can do with it.

Anything bigger, homebuilt or not, will require a LSA license at least ans many (if not most) a full PPL.

It's not really surprising. The demand for printers has fallen off a cliff due to wide acceptance of digital alternatives. People barely need printers now and as such aren't willing to pay much for them.

This is further exacerbated by the reality that a printer is actually a fairly high precision device and expensive to manufacture.

So you have an expensive to manufacture device that consumers aren't willing to pay much for. So what happens? They adopt a consumable based business with the printers being locked down to force you to buy their overpriced, high margin consumables that have a low absolute price so consumers don't think about it much.

Let's say that we regulate away this lock in. What will happen? Well the price of printers would have to climb to match their actual cost to manufacture. That price would likely turn off consumers from buying them at all. The end result would be the end of the printer business altogether. Maybe not a bad thing as not printing at all is likely a better ecological outcome.

I think it's more Luigi and less Floyd

As a pilot...the real faa maps take training to read, but they are quite accurate. But maybe they publish something useless and contradictory for drone operators.

It's a very dumb saying. If you don't have the volts you won't get the amps to kill you that's ohms law.

However, there are plenty of harmless high voltage scenarios as well. Situations with high voltage, but no power.

So really you need both.

There's plenty of stuff dropped, a lot of it is dubious tbh.

My older phones had: IR blaster for controlling TVs FM radio tuner Replaceable battery's Headphone jack (as you noted) Expandable microsd storage Physical Keyboards (no real loss imo)

Probably some others I've forgotten. Honestly, I slightly miss the IR blaster on occasion. I haven't listened to FM radio in ages, but could see it being useful. Replaceable battery's would be nice from a longevity perspective, but I prefer battery packs to device specific batteries for longer life in general and battery life is more than a day for me anyway unless I'm going nuts. The lack of SD storage is the one that bothers me the most.

Keep in mind phones have gained at least a few things in that time. Simple reliable waterproof is a huge one.

That is not the definition of escape velocity. Escape velocity is the minimum velocity to escape a body's gravity well entirely. Orbital is much lower

Ignoring that it burned up and ignoring losses due to drag if it somehow didn't. Isn't the point of escape velocity that it explicitly won't come back down.iar least not on earth. Your trajectory won't matter as you have enough velocity to escape the gravity of earth and will orbit the sun. Further if you managed the solar system escape velocity you will end up orbiting the galactic core. Trajectory doesn't matter if you have escape velocity. Correct trajectory just minimizes the delta v needed to reach that escape velocity.

At least that's all my recollection.

About a year ago, and I don't recall the specifics. I remember combing through trancode logs and not being able to figure out a path forward. I'm sure I could have solved it given enough time, but failing to play on Firefox or provide a clear solution was enough to convince me that the Wife Approval Factor was going to be too low.

I abandoned jellyfin shortly into my self hosting setup. Plex just worked, with Jellyfin I spent an hour trying to figure out how to get it to serve an acceptable to Firefox codec and never succeeded. I'm sure with more effort I could have figured out what the magic combination was, but it wasn't obvious and I had too many other things to set up.

This is incredible

Right next to each other lol

Conceptually, LoL filled a hole. DotA was DotA, complicated, hard, lots of nuance. Some people wanted an even more complicated DotA. Heroes of Newerth filled that hole. Some people wanted a simpler DotA. LoL filled that hole.

I personally preferred HoN, but I can't fault people for preferring LoL.

As a family...I need the family sharing provided by steam. Especially the recent beta version. It's fantastic.

None of that makes sense with how taxes actually work. For every $1 donated to charity, the maximum you're getting back is 0.37 from the tax deduction. That's assuming you're in the max tax bracket. The higher your tax bracket, the cheaper it is to give to charity, but it's never better than keeping the money yourself.

There are games that can be played with charitable donations, but cash to a foundation is not really the way. The real games are played around with hard to value assets like art/jewelry where massively inflated values and weird lease terms can lead to some really questionable outcomes. For example "loaning" art to a museum and writing off the "rent" after having it appraised for some insane value.

Essentially yes. I don't know how much of the designs but weight driven and earlier water driven clocks existed.
