“First they take away my grandmother’s egg monopoly, now they take away my brother’s thriving business. I can’t believe the vendetta Xi has against me personally!”

This can’t be real right? Streaming services are seriously broadcasting the debates? Isn’t Disney+ for children who probably don’t want to watch the debate?

I mean…I guess I get it. USians treat their elections, especially the presidential election, like a team sport. Cheer for your team! Boo the other team! Only two options! Better buy your team’s jersey so they know who you support!

I am pretty sure getting banned from worldnews is a rite of passage. It should honestly be a requirement for joining lemmygrad at this point, but I suppose it would be redundant with existing screening materials.

Exactly what it sounds like. People describe it as pretty close to chicken (which makes sense) though I find it is closer to turtle, especially texturally. The tail meat is particularly close to chicken. If you have never tried it, it’s pretty good. So are the legs. It is quite lean though, so you may need to add some fat from another source.

I have heard people used ground alligator mix in minced blends alongside a fattier meat for burgers sometimes, but I haven’t tried it myself.

They’re less common but they definitely are depending on availability. I have alligator steaks in my freezer right now even. Bears (true these are omnivores, but they definitely have periods of more carnivorous activity as in the video) are pretty common in my country, even during the seasons where they are primarily on a carnivorous diet.

The safety point is reasonable as that is true, though can be easily offset these days. The deliciousness I would disagree with, because I have had some delicious predators before (see alligator steaks). They seem to acknowledge as much as this. Though I will say, I have never had any type of feline that I particularly enjoyed the taste of.

I think their last point about efficiency is maybe the most likely as to why they weren’t historically consumed, and that has just lasted for cultural reasons.

I think this is extremely unlikely, the days of the government actually pushing back against corporations in any meaningful way in the US seems largely over.

Even if somehow it did go through, there would be functionally very little impact. They’d sulk a bit about the government stifling “innovation”, walk away with their tail between their legs, and then go back to operating almost entirely unchanged.

““The closer individuals were to the trauma on October 7, the higher the risk” of addictive behaviors, it found.”

Aa yes, the trauma of the people they were brutalizing for years upon years fighting back.

Or, more likely, they are trying to find refuge from the last vestiges of human conscience that remains to them in the wake of the genocide they are [at best] complicit in.

Sidenote, but eulogizing somebody with their twitter handle seems really…weird. I get it is their name in this case, but I would hope when I pass somebody can reference me without any @ or # or anything.

I have a real-debrid account (that’s 30 usd/year) and I use the infuse app (10 usd/year) to access things I’ve synced onto my Apple TV. ATV isn’t the best way to sync stremio content, but it works with this setup and I don’t need to buy any new hardware.

I’ve considered setting up a streaming server at some point, but it works for the time being.

I am mixed, it depends on what I am trying to do and also if I paid anything for an app.

“Free” apps in the west are just a marketing case-study and trying to funnel me into as many additional purchases as it possibly can. Chinese is maybe an overwhemling amount of information, but often at least more relevant. It also tends to make a lot more sense for somebody who is engaging with mobile devices primarily, rather than as an extension of a home ecosystem (which the video does touch on a bit).

It also makes perfect sense to have a “one size fits all” app approach in an environment that doesn’t need to parcel your attention out over a bunch of different companies.

“Premium” apps that I already bought into, I admit I often prefer the minimalistic style of design more. That could also just be me, I prefer that in the way I decorate and organise most things I do, digitally and in real life.

I migrated my whole media setup to Stremio earlier this year, it is a fantastic bit of software.

I pay a grand total of about 40/year (for RD and an app I use to stream to on different devices). Theoretically could probably swing it for nothing, but 40 USD is well worth the convenience and improved UI. I know people who pay more than that just for one month of streaming subscriptions.

It is pretty recent that taxis started consistently taking credit cards in my country, I used to have to ask everytime I got in as I don’t carry much cash. So the currency issue can definitely be a big problem.

Uber has always been way more expensive than taxis here to the point that they are virtually unheard of. If you say Uber, most people think of the food delivery service, not the car rental.

Apparently the high cost was due to taxi lobbies having a lot of sway.

Welcome, we sometimes get a touch defensive because folks often come in with outright hostile intentions and no desire to learn. However, most of us were probably in the same shoes as you at some point. I am not an admin here but I think I can say you would be welcome as long as you have an open-mind. We don’t require people all be MLs (Marxist-Leninist, probably the most common branch of communism most of us subscribe to) necessarily.

I remember back in my social-democrat days coming across some online communist communities that I was initially dismissive of, because of all the anti-communist indoctrination I had been subjugated to all my life. A few conversations lead to reading a few books, lead to where I am now.

A nice thing is we can often criticize each other without becoming instantly defensive, because we generally realise we are all in varying degrees of learning/studying still.

I remember reading that they are the most lethal of all wild cats in terms of hunting success. Like twice that of a lion.
That may be the african black footed cat (also fing adorable). I think they are both very high on the list.

Not this one, but a few months ago they started shipping the 3A6000 (on a 7A2000 board) through AliExpress. I am pretty sure we had an article here somewhere about it. They were fairly priced (processor + board for something like 350 USD) but not super high end. Which makes sense, you don’t target high end professionals first.

I briefly entertained making my new PC from all Chinese components, but decided to give it some more time. I have little doubt I will be happy to do that not too long from now.

If you want to try it just as a fun project for a secondary PC though, you absolutely can source most of the parts from AliExpress. Russian chiptech isn’t to the level of China, so I don’t think you will find much there. Not yet at least.

The only reason we get that is I have the good fortune to be in a high enough position I can push for it. I have no illusions that the higher-ups would okay it if they weren’t being forced to. Even then I had to make calls to every office to make sure they were actually following through.

They pissed off enough of the powers that be (read: corporations) that I would be surprised if they made it through this intact. I wouldn’t be surprised if they crashed and got acquired by one of the tech giants. Which I hope is the case, friendly reminder that crowdstrike was one of the key sources of all the russiagate bullshit.

It was. We have basically 100% recovered at this point, but not without exhaustive work from our teams.

I am currently making sure that every property gives their IT proper overtime pay and a vacation. Then I will be doing the same for myself. Hopefully this will also be incentive for properties to actually hire enough IT workers.

It’s a big multinational so those decisions are way up the food chain from me, but my reports and my bosses have all been saying this for years. Hopefully now they listen to us.

Funfact, we actually opt in to the feature to stay a version behind on updates, specifically to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Turns out that is a fucking lie because we still got this update.
