I would say that I personally want to see more original movies, but I wouldn't think to argue that the general public feels the same. I'm not surprised about this outcome at all.

You can chill. The person who replied to you wasn't arguing against your general point, just clarifying the context.

We have TONS of examples of "inexperienced, low-budget" male DPs shooting blockbusters. Sometimes they look great, sometimes they look terrible. Women deserve those opportunities too. That's how they become experienced.

I'm not ready to watch the video. Why do you say it's worse?

On Alone: Australia, one of the contestants was a biologist. She refused to eat any animal that "cares for its young." I had never thought about differentiating that way.

This is pretty standard, according to a recent episode of the Team Deakins podcast. A makeup artist said it's a major pain in the ass, because, for example, they can't snap a quick photo of an actor's makeup and send it to the lighting crew. He said many of them still do it, but they get in huge trouble if they get caught.

I think this is a little prescriptive. There might be some truth in this but everyone needs to find acceptance on their own. Sometimes running works just fine.

Thank you. Does your job involve explaining things this clearly? Are you a teacher?

Galaxy Buds are just so solid. The little spendy goblin in me has looked at new ear buds for years, and I even got some free Pixel Buds with my last phone, but I keep going back to the galaxies.

Similarly, I believe in democracy and often hate its result.

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 6 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.
