To be fair, they did’t say it was because of the shooting. The article is just baselessly implying that.

This time, however, the news came with a rare statement from creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone: “Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done. This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time. Thanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding. Tune in next week!”

Can you prove they don’t already?

Yes

I mean, that’s a pretty accurate one sentence summary. Only thing that’s missing is that a random bystander “recognized” him even though he was wearing a mask and all of the photos we had of the suspect up to that point were 90% eyebrow.

My running theory is that Vance walked in on Kirk with the couch.

Oh don’t worry, they’ll institute police checkpoints everywhere across the country for “safety” and “national security”. Worked great for Ireland!

Darn :(

Is this a real line from the episode?

You obviously think the post is shit lmao

Luigi was missing for a few days, after executing a masterful getaway in the middle of the day in the largest city in the country. Then just randomly shows up at a McDonalds with everything needed to convict him packaged together in a bag. Definitely not unusual at all. Nothing to see here folks! The system works and the police are master investigators. It’s impossible to get away with a crime like this!

A reverse proxy from somewhere like Cloudflare would allow you to host without any router config. Plus, it’d give a little more protection against bots, but it’s not going to block 100% of them.

B2 does charge for API calls: https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/transaction-pricing

Though, it’s not so bad and they give you 2.5k free calls of each paid tier per day.

I really like duplicacy. It’s just a single executable you add to your path, then configure it to back up to basically any remote you want. I don’t even bother to run it in a container since it doesn’t have dependencies. Encrypted, compressed, deduplicated, incremental backups. The algorithm is pretty slick too. It can back up multiple machines to the same repository, and it’ll dedupe across them without any locks required.

Duplicacy CLI is free, and there’s a front-end for a reasonable fee. I think $50 for the first year, then $10 for every subsequent year.

For storage, you can just go with whatever is cheapest/easiest. I use a gdrive I’m paying for regardless for effectively free storage. But if I didn’t have that, Hetzner seems very appealing. I think it’s $4/mo for 1TB? Very reasonable, and you wouldn’t need to worry about api calls or chunk size / file count like you would with S3/B2/StorJ.

Agree, that’d be awesome. However, it’s probably not worth their time to create/maintain/support a self-hostable backup server/integration since this has been possible for many years now via Signal’s existing backup functionality. You can backup Signal to device storage, then sync that to a remote server using Syncthing or whatever else. Not super user friendly, but neither is hosting your own server.

EDIT: At least on Android

Yeah, ER is almost never the right place. But if you do go to an ER, make sure it’s attached to a hospital. The free standing ones are notorious for predatory billing and will take your first born after saving them. And your insurance will fight to not cover it.

Urgent care and minute-clinic type things can be good. Primary care physicians are typically best, though they may be difficult to get an appointment for.

Urgent care facilities commonly double as ERs. In that case, I believe they’re legally required to get you to sign a specific form before they can charge you for an ER visit. Speaking from experience, it’ll just about 10-40x the rates and they’ll still charge you for an urgent care visit on top. Also speaking from experience, check your insurance plan before doing this. My insurance card said $150 copay for ER visits, but the plan was actually $150 + 10% (still unbelievably good in freedomland), plus they refuse to cover any of it anyway and the appeals process literally takes the better part of a year.

That said, it can literally be the difference between life and death. Fighting insurance, while a huge PITA, is much better than a dead child. It’s just the sad reality we live in, in order to have checks notes poor health outcomes and healthcare quality tied to whatever your job (if you have one) happens to offer. 🦅🇺🇸🎆

No, it’s not. Consoles (and technology in general) historically trend cheaper over time. Demand lowers, manufacturing cost lowers, newer tech releases, costs adjust to accommodate.

It’s very abnormal that the current gen of consoles has not only not gotten cheaper yet, but has actually raisen in price. Like, very very abnormal.

Shrinkflation is a real thing, but historically it has nothing to do with consoles.

This definitely reads like you’re saying teens are ignoring planetary extinction and just letting it happen, but I think you intended the opposite lmao

Yeah, if Bernie were a real bro he’d show some bite by gnawing on RFK Jr. until the worm tells him to resign. Take some damn initiative for once!
