It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.

It depends. If it ends on a cliffhanger I will probably skip it. The real trick is trying to find out if a show ends on a cliffhanger or if it wraps up, without spoilering yourself.

Me too. I will not spend a single cent on Epic, but I’ll happily buy Steam games.

Yeah, I wondered about the ninth kid and how (s)he’s doing.

Yup, I remember that 😄

43 years old here. I can still hear it. I think I put about 10-15 chargers in the bin because of the noise. I also really hate those anti-mosquito ultrasone emittors people put in their yards. I can hear them whenever I walk around the neighborhood.

Even in the base (not director’s cut) version?

Too bad about the horrible Monster Energy product placement. It totally ruined the game for me.

I get a good full res pic (using kbin in firefox for android). Maybe it’s your client?

Is it irritating to read multi-page comics as one long strip?

For me, it’s great this way. As long as it is a direct image link. That way my browser does the scaling and I can easy zoom in. Some sites (like imgur) prevent you from direcltly opening the image, prevent zooming and even downscale the image to a blurry mess.

I have a small collection of Lego sets. I mainly collect the minifigure-scale Star Wars space ships (yes, I have the crazy big Millenium Falcon), but only original trilogy ships. My wife collects the big Lego Creator cars.

The petitions are for the universities, not starbucks. They may not scoff at 1500 signatures.

Why not allow anyone to see the votes? Anyone already can by using kbin or spinning up their own instance.

That’s harder, but perhaps the new wifi 7 sensing can help in the near future.

Home Assistant can do that. Put a Shelly smart plug in the stove outlet to see if it’s using power (or do you have an old fasioned gas stove?). It can also track what time you turned off your lights last night.

I put a Shelly smart plug in my washing machine outlet. If it detects the machine using power for 30 seconds and then stop using power for 5 minutes, then it sends a signal to Home Assistant, and HA send a notification to my phone. It’s easy.

Home Assistant has a really good basic presence detection: wifi. If you phone is connected to your home wifi network, then you’re home. Else you’re away. Simple. Works. Local only. No extra sensors.

It’s not about clicks, it’s about attribution. That is also why they all want to track you. It’s not just about targeting ads. If you buy something in a webshop and the advertiser can show that you saw a (related) ad for that somewhere in the last X days/weeks then the sale is attributed to the advertiser and they get paid a fee. That is why they want to track anything and everything. The more data they collect, the higher the chance they can show attribution. No clicks required.

It’s been tried multiple times and it just doesn’t work. Physics (the speed of light) ultimately dictates latency. Streaming only works for a rather small subset of games that doesn’t rely on reaction time or latency at all. And then only works for people who play those games a lot (you’re not going to sub to a streaming game service if the majority of the games you want to play don’t work on it). There’s a reason Google Stadia died.

Exactly. Shitty mods have been a thing since newsgroups, AOL chatrooms and good old internet forums. Probably BBSes too.
