This is how I think of it too. My body will die but my influence will continue, so I try to have a good influence.

Everyone realizes this is a joke acronym, right? Or am I dumb for thinking that needs to be pointed out?

At the very least they should lose every penny they have, and every penny they earn henceforth should go directly to the fund. Or am I just describing incarceration?

This guy sucks. Facts.

I stopped taking him seriously when his Netflix specials included: blaming the victims of Louis CK's sexual harassment ("Why didn't they just hang up the phone?") and some other 13-year-old take dismissing trans people. He stopped punching up and started punching down.

I guess he briefly had a W when he said Israel was committing genocide, then walked it back and said the real problem was antisemitism. What a coward.

EDIT: The trans joke I'm referring to was "If I was in ISIS in the trenches fighting against the United States and all of the sudden I see a man with a beard and big D-cups titties just rushing my foxhole and sh*t, I’d be horrified."

Sekiro had several of the hardest bosses for me. God I love that game.

I like Leo and he acts with a lot of intensity, but I don't think he's a great actor. I never forget that I'm watching someone playing a character.

Hope this happens! Pretty sure I heard about this exact collab like 15 years ago.

I've shared this before, but on a podcast Greig Fraser (cinematographer for Dune, The Batman) basically said, "AI is happening, and we as artists can either embrace it and decide how to use it tastefully, or investors/producers will decide for us."

I thought it was fine. Could have been called "Manhattan Project" instead. And as an anti-war American I thought they made a compelling case at the end that the US was "forced" to obliterate all those Japanese civilians, but from a human perspective I still think it was abominable.

It's really funny that people did the "Barbenheimer." The hot pink, light-hearted feminist eye candy into a 3-hour sepiatone drama starring 45 white men. I would have whiplash.

This case sounds eerily similar to the case of Curtis Flowers, who spent 20+ years on death row for a quadruple-homicide in Mississippi. The DA and investigators just didn't want to do their jobs, so they pinned it on someone who they didn't expect to fight back, and they tried and convicted him 6 times instead of looking for the real culprit. In the Dark is an incredible podcast about it.

The state isn't just stealing the years these guys were locked up. They're stealing the years afterwards too. In Ziegler's case, he's never used a cell phone, never used the internet. There's no amount of money that would compensate for what they did to him.

An attempt at humor?

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.

Replacing moldy sealant (self.homeimprovement)
submitted 7 months ago by triptrapper to c/homeimprovement
 

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.
