I never said they needed one space per unit, but say, 10 spaces for the 50 units would have likely been enough to dissuade fears of the local residents.

Downvote me all you like but the place isn't being built now because of this decision, so the area gets nothing.

Like I said, I'm sensitive to low frame rates and really notice it. Like I'm watching video that is stuttery.

I know people have a "feel" to cinema that they enjoy and I have no issue with that, but I like the feel of smooth motion. It's something you should absolutely be able to turn off though.

I will be downvoted but I must stand up for my friend. I LIKE MOTION SMOOTHING!

There, I said it. I'm glad it's a feature you can disable so everyone can be happy, but I find 30fps choppy and distracting. Maybe I play too many video games, but high frame rates are the norm on PC. Hell, frame generation is a big feature now, but that's a topic for another day.

Those basic safe driving techniques are based on ideal conditions. Take the three second lead for example, that's on dry roads with good visibility. You wouldn't follow that close if it was icy, because now your reaction time is not going to be enough, you have less control over the road so you must increase your follow distance.

Driving drunk is the same, your reaction time is now slower so again three seconds isn't enough. You don't have the same control over your body and alertness, so you need to drive even slower and more cautiously.

Now you're the odd one out. Your overly cautious driving will confuse the people driving around you because it'll be less predictable and odd. They'll try to pass you causing the chance of accidents to increase.

This is long winded, but the point is you simply aren't at your prime when you're driving impared. Be it high, drunk, sleep deprived, etc, you shouldn't on the road in that state as you increase the risk for everyone else. I urge you to reconsoder before you hurt yourself or someone else.

I agree with some of your points, but I you should try rewriting your age gap paragraph. It's very hard to understand and in your 15/18 year old example I think you end up saying the opposite of what you intend.

Also pedophilia has a specific definition and is not interchangeable with underage. It's specifically for prepubescent attractions.

Do you differentiate between people who purchased their pets vs rescue, or do you see all pet owners as the same?

I think owning pets in our modern urban lives doesn't make sense like it used to, but I have always had pets and do enjoy them. Every single one has been a rescue though. I could not personally justify supporting breeders and pets as an industry.

If you're into, or don't ming getting into self hosting, I use iSponsorBlockTV. It keeps tabs on all the Chromecast or smart TVs in your house and automatically sends skip commands when you get to in segment ads.

I have Premium so I don't have regular ads, but I belive it can do that as well and if not, pairing it with a traditional DNS blocker like a piehole should do the job.

She doesn't want to be them, this just suits her current interests. Conservatives are opportunists who aren't slowed down by pesky things like firm ideals or good faith arguments. Flip flopping is of no concern to them.

Yup, Valve is still in it for the money of course, but the customer really does come first. I've used their support a few times and they've always been stellar. I will always buy Valve products.

I love Thunder. Have it set up with the small UI, feels like I never left Relay.

 

With Chromecasts being discontinued, increase in ads, telemetry, etc I'm wondering if anyone else is going back to old school HTPCs or if they have some other solution to do this in house.

I think the options here are likely:

  1. Rooted streamer (ie Chromecast, firestick)
  2. Android Box
  3. Mini PC

I'm actually most interested in experimenting with #3, a mini PC running KDE Plasma Bigscreen. Most of my self hosted apps can be run in browser windows, and a full desktop (while harder to navigate) is better than the browsers you can get on Android.

What is everyone esle, especially the privacy / de-googled self hosters doing for their media front end?
