Ah yes, packing and cracking the obviously unethical way of manipulating votes so they don’t count as much. A southern tradition.

I can say the same for myself, I just don’t see it as often as I had hoped in others.

I reflect on my past self and wish I had been a better person in my teens/early 20s. I can’t change who I was or how I behaved or thought back then but I can change the person I am now and who I aspire to be. I am also trying to foster that attitude and the skills to be empathetic in my kids.

Lack of empathy is not something people grow out of, it seems like it is something that grows more severe the older people get.

The solid phase of Velveeta is more like a gel but yeah. I figured you were asking about the skin that forms on top rather than the bulk temperature change.

They have cottage cheese which is probably close enough.

When you say cools down, do you mean changes from liquid phase to solid phase or drops temperature?

Inside Job could have continued but I am not sure they had a bigger story planned.

Emby is a good option if you don’t want to hop to jellyfin. I have been pleased with it so far. I found the media tag/idenifier to work better/quicker than plex’s.

If you have a good foundation for a relationship, an equitable partnership with open and compassionate communication, shared empathy, and respect for eachother, you are going to be in reasonably good shape.

The thing is, the process of having a kid is stressful, once they are here, it is physically taxing and can be emotionally draining. You don’t get sleep in regular or meaningful amounts or patterns, your pattern is disrupted but you also have to do all the other things you had to do before to maintin your life. Chores and work get less time and things pile up. Which makes it harder to do other things you have/want to do. Even if you find the time, you may not have the energy or mental capacity to do it. It can be a very lonely experience even with a good partner.

That said, if you remember, its you and your partner working together for the baby, for eachother, or against the problem, its manageable. You WILL need to adjust to it but it gets easier over time.

Up: My unraid server with media library, emby and my kids Down: the fiber internet line into the house that the contractor working on our siding snapped. No one is upset so the system is working.

I have been really happy with hosting my stuff via Emby even with my friend’s library on Plex. I have found the media recognition and identification system in Emby to be much better/easier to use.

While the music player in Emby is nowhere near as good as plexamp. I mostly store a local copy of my music on my phone anyways so it is not really an issue. I am going to start playing with navidrome when I get time but a one directional sync with syncthing fromy server to my phone would also work for my needs.

The Emby app on android tv is decent but not flashy and does not have streaming content by default, it is fully functional as a media player for library files.

Its a much better cook than sous vide imo.

Ours is a variable speed compressor so during the summer, it is set to 76 during the day when my wife/kids are there and set to maintain humidity under 50% which allows overcooling by 2 degrees. We run at 70/69 at night because our youngest doesn’t sleep well with the fan running in our room so I have it cooler to keep from soaking the bed with sweat.

Their youtube chanel is cool because they do the radio over videos of streetview cams or cars/bikes/people driving around in random cities. Its a good vibe.

They still exist for now.

My server that I host emby on is an unraid setup and using the “automated ripping machine” docker has been super handy for transferring my physical discs into digital form for proper preservation.

Completely unrelated, but did you know that most local libraries have music on cds and movies on dvd/blu rays that you can checkout for free with a linrary card?

I have been really happy with Emby. The setup was easy, library tags updated more reliably than plex, and remote access was simple to get setup with a user account. I am not using a vpn to access it, just give it the server details and user credentials and it works. I did opt for the paid lifetime version though.

They make wireless hdmi adapters to just stream from one device to a display.

What are you trying to send and receive on?

Roku is a privacy nightmare now.

Adb.tv and projectivy launcher will make a sizeable difference as will rooting and disabling the telemetry/tracking/ other bullshit. I went that route on my current hisense tv and its been great so far. Not as good as a true dumb tv but its pretty close and it is easier for my family to use without babysitting them.

I named my old white bitfenix prodigy m “Baymax” because it was white and had rounded edges.
