If the shooter was black they would have sent the SWAT team within an hour. I can't believe the chief was saying this shit out loud. "We knocked on the door, he didn't answer, there was nothing we could do."

Jason Momoa is the weakest part of the first movie. Why is he always smirking? Why does he deliver every line the same way? Get him out of here.

This story is bananas. After Moturi was shot, it wasn't until he went to the press that the police made an effort to arrest the shooter. Here's MPD chief's unhinged response to the criticism.

As a young photographer, he was a hometown hero for me. Rest in peace.

Either he's never heard of John Chau or he's trying to become the next John Chau.

I'm a white American.

Most friendly: Portugal. They seem to be a happy bunch in general, and they all seemed excited to have visitors. Lisbon, Cascais, Lagos, and all the little towns in between.

Least friendly: Iceland. They could just be less open and emotionally expressive with strangers, but unless it was a business transaction I was frequently ignored when I said hello and people seemed uninterested in having a conversation.

I frequently hear this stereotype from people who haven't been to France. I specifically hear that the French are rude to anyone who doesn't speak French. My experience was that they can be rude to Americans who assume everyone will speak English. I would do my best to have a conversation in French, and the locals would usually take pity on me and switch to English.

I'm not denying there are unfriendly French people, but I would expect anyone to get tired of tourists who don't make any effort to speak the local language.

It's so funny when they think Biden has a cult of rabid supporters.

A country doesn't enforce tarriffs on other countries... unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

And who would I be buying it from?

Is that how you think this works? Nobody gets to choose where they're born, and people tend to stay close to their families or other support systems, and their jobs. They might have partners or kids who are similarly invested in the area. Not so easy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disagreeing with your general point that right-wing terrorism is ignored by the media. Just wanted to clarify that you said "every one of them had a manifesto" but the Vegas shooter did not. That said, a lot of the details of his life are things I associate with right-wingers: worked for Lockheed, owned rental properties, 2nd amendment, lots of cruises. Like you said, I would describe his motive as "disdain for other people/society" but for some reason that's not considered terrorism.

 

Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.

 

There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant.

When I go to replace the sealant, how do I kill the mold so it's safe to seal over again?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
