  • People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads

  • I know, that's what I do. It's just so bloat ridden it's 5 clicks with a shitty remote to switch inputs. I want a tv with no UI, just a power button, volume, channel, and input. Maybe a menu for color settings. The menus on mine are built to push me to one app or another. Every time I turn it on I have to navigate pop ups and prompts trying to get me to connect it and spend money on one app or another. I just want to go to HDMI 1.

  • What are you watching and what do you recommend this week?

  • The lowdown: A gritty neo noir type show set in Oklahoma. Made by the same guy who did reservation dogs. Probably my favorite thing to come out in a bit.

    The chair company: A bit of a slow burn. Only one episode so far. Hard to tell where the shows going. This guy becomes obsessed with a chair company (go figure). And then things get weird. Slightly surreal/absurdist vibes going on. Too soon to rate, but good production values and acting. I have high hopes.

    Also slow horses, which remains amazing, as well as peacemaker, which remains just entertaining enough to run in the background. I plan on giving Task a try when I have time.

  • And they're buying data centers. So they're going to give themselves electricity to power ai nonsense, and then charge the people for it. Highjacking a public utility to enrich themselves. Just another example of corporate welfare in action. Fuck these people make a good case for socialism.

  • Also look into making your own. It's super easy and so much better, you can tweak the tartness/sweetness ratio to your liking.

    Instructions Combine sugars, water, and orange juice in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until sugars are dissolved, and bring to a boil.

    ⅔ cup (133 g) sugar ,⅓ cup (67 g) light brown sugar, tightly packed, ⅓ cup (78 ml) water, ⅔ cup (157 ml) orange juice Add cranberries and return to a boil. 12 oz (340 g) cranberries

    Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook cranberries, stirring occasionally, 10-15 minutes or until all or most berries have burst (careful, there is some splatter) and the mixture is slightly reduced. The longer you cook your cranberries the thicker your mixture will be, but it will also thicken up after standing. Transfer mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

  • Anyone know a good TV on the market now? I don't need ultra resolution. I want it unsmart. I need it to switch between HDMI inputs.

  • According to the fourth power law, a bicycle would need to travel on a road 160,000 times to cause as much wear and tear as a single motor vehicle trip.

  • I was an over the road trucker for a bit, and this was one of the first things that struck me. Going through Chicago is a literal river of trucks 24/7. Absolutely no reason 90%+ couldn't be a train. Just fucking embarrassing really. We let the money management bros into the train system and this is what we get.

  • Been nothing but satisfied with proton. I bought a years worth at once. The flatpack I got installed and works without issue. The only gripe I have is I can't figure out how to make it (mint) boot up with wiregaurd/proton as the default.

  • I didn't, but do now you morbid fuck! Lol seriously though not a great design.

  • Not me. I'm all in on ask Jeeves.

  • Idk, there's that old saying "never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence." And having interacted with the airline industry in this country it's not hard to imagine. Not that I'd put this past the current powers that be. But without more information we'll probably never get it's hard to say.

  • I don't know what I expected

  • I think it was only meant to be a shed, and not a bin. Like the walls were only meant to hold a roof up. As opposed to a grain silo, where it's held by the structure itself.

  • Even fucking a sibling is okay (probably,) from a genetic viewpoint. It's when you have multiple generations doing it when you run into trouble. Genetically speaking.

  • That's assuming you have a family tree and not a family column.

  • I'm a professional driver. Used to be a trucker, have spent a lifetime working shitty blue collar industrial jobs. I can back any trailer, with any vehicle, into any space. I'm a ninja on a forklift, a crane, a loadall, whatever. I've spent thousands of hours just parking stuff. I can't parallel park. I mean I can, just not quickly, gracefully, or taking all the gods names in vain.

  • Due to waaaay to much hackysack in my youth, I'm very adept at catching things with my foot. Phones, empty mugs, that sort of things.
