How do you get around RAM requirements on SBC home servers with little devices like this? I am often streaming 4K files and the encoding/decoding can sometimes be mildly intensive depending on the file.
I struggled to get into this. I felt I was just pressing A the whole time and there was 0 difficulty or actual strategy. You could “Twitch Plays Sacred Stones” this to victory in a day.
It’s not ethical or unethical—but your framing makes it inherently from POV of some assholes, so it kinda renders the whole hypothetical moot.
People can allocate their assets as they please. Every situation is unique. In your situation, it sounds like the parents were narcissistic assholes with a disabled child.
The older I get, the more Jackie Brown runs away with it. It really is the most relatable movie as an aging adult, where the rest are generally too fantastical by comparison.
I have still not seen Hollywood. I imagine it would be below Hateful 8 for me.
Jackie Brown is very underrated and easily his best movie IMO.
Reservoir Dogs is a great film, but in the context of his work, generally overrated. It’s more its own piece of film history than something to be compared to his more mature work.
Kill Bill is tough. I think I could make the argument that it’s easily his best film—but for rewatches, Jackie Brown has it beat handily. It’s hard to rewatch the Kill Bill saga conveniently.
The rest are honestly neck and neck. I think Pulp Fiction is #1 when you’re new, but kinda recedes into itself against his whole catalog.
The actual function is that it hurts the offending country by taxing our own business for importing from them.
So let’s says I sell diamond rings in the US, but one or more parts of my supply chain are in China (most often lab grown diamonds, moissanite, sapphire etc; sometimes the gold and ring creation, and sometimes the entire manufacturing end to end). I will pay the tarriff upon import. This on its face hurts the US business as China isn’t paying.
However, the business isn’t going to eat shit and raise prices (this is the fear). They will lower the supply chain dependence on China if possible. This does reduce the net import from China for this good.
This will motivate me to switch some or all of my supply chain to Mexico, India, Taiwan, the United States (there is domestic lab stone growing operations) etc, to shed myself of the tariff.
The macro effect is that we do, on net, give less money to China by virtue of forcing our business to move to other suppliers.
In the case of some goods, this might increase costs and be inflationary (the main criticism). But it also equally possible in this example for prices to go sideways, as I can definitely make this product example competitively even if I leave China.
This is a complete deflection from the primary point: Kamala ran a campaign that would have done well in 2012. Not 2024. She had no strategy, and in fact did everything she could to not differentiate or excite despite ample historical examples from Obama to Trump on how to do so.
She aligned herself with (1) the most unpopular republican vice president and warmonger of our generation, (2) did not distance herself from an unpopular president, (3) did not on any level run a non-traditional media campaign all while watching the Trump campaign triple down on it.
The actual true answer is that it’s only her fault given the opportunity, but she in fact should never have been given the opportunity—Biden should have prepared to be a one term president and give years of lead time for a competent candidate to challenge the very obvious and inevitable campaign Trump ran.
Trump vote totals is sideways. Hers went down 12MM from 2020.
I live in a red state and vote blue. Trump is bad for the country. But the silver lining is that the Dems are now forced to have self reflection that they refused to have four years ago, and hopefully field a legitimately viable candidate in 2028.
For media, I use Jellyfin on an M1 MacMini.
