  • Generally it looks for a higher resolution. Sonar also has the ability to look for anything listed for a show in tvdb's "specials". That's usually things like extended cuts of episodes, or interviews.

  • Yeah, everyone in my family has cooked professionally for at least a few years. My wife's family lived off of microwaved food. As I was teaching her that food could have flavor, she started asking questions about cooking that were easier to answer with a clip from good eats. Eventually, I went looking for a boxed set of it, and one hadn't been released. So I spent the $600 I was willing to spend on it on a server.

  • I grabbed the low quality complete rip, and have sonarr set to upgrade episodes. Even a decade later, I think I still have a few 480p/720p episodes.

  • I am that guy. I got pissed off that there was no way to buy all of the episodes of Good Eats legally. Next thing I knew, I had a dual xeon server and 60TB of hard drives. Of the 50 or so people using my server I think 6 have servers of their own.

  • Too bad their build quality is absolutely shit. I'd always wanted an Alienware growing up, but they were way out of my budget. In 2020, I bought my wife and I new Alienware laptops. $5000 worth of laptops. Mine did a firmware update and died in 2023. Dell offered to diagnose it for $200 if I shipped it to them. My wife's has had to be repaired 3 times, and her hdmi port died yesterday.

  • Double clicking on the wall opens a dialog to type in dimensions.

  • The US government has the information, but there's no way for companies to sell you something if they used that data.

    It's the same with US taxes. The IRS knows exactly how much you owe them each year. As a citizen, you cannot access that information. You have to fill out needlessly complicated forms to guess the correct amount of money to send them. If you guess wrong you can go to jail or be fined. To prevent this, you pay a company to fill out those forms. They don't get access to the correct number either, but you can buy insurance from them so they'll pay for your lawyer to defend you if you guess wrong.

  • Even on my phone I can double tap and change the wall dimensions. I believe it's in a right click menu on the desktop. It's definitely missing polish, a UI designer, and any kind of logic on where stuff should be located. It is actually usable to map out a house to figure out furniture and basic stuff. Drives me crazy that I can't figure out how to do mechanicals in it though.

  • I used sweet home 3d for this. It's not the greatest, but is open source and available on every platform.

  • It should just be pictures of Ken Paxton. S/he is dressing like a man to sneak into the men's bathroom to stare at dude's dicks and smell their farts. It's perverted, and the people of Texas shouldn't stand for it.

  • Carefully curating you watch history is key. I try to check mine once per week and pull out anything that causes me to get angry about something. Basically if it's not a video that teaches me how to do something, I remove it.

  • Albania LOVES Americans. There's a bunch of history that boils down to America helped make Albania and Kosovo exist. There are statues here of a bunch of former US presidents. Americans even get better visas than anyone else. It's a 1 year automatic visa on arrival. If you don't apply for a residency permit in that year, you have to leave for 90 days, then you can stay for another year.

    Albania is still developing. Everything has a little more friction than in the US. Quick examples; no Amazon, no real freeways, no drive thrus. The bureaucracy is very much like "papers please". There aren't a lot of local jobs. The language is hard to learn fluently, but it's possible to get by day to day with a few phrases and Google translate.

    The people are amazing. The food is great. The entire country is beautiful. If you stay out of Tirana, rent is really affordable. Every time you meet someone, they'll ask why you're here because everyone wants to move to America.

  • Only if you're a good girl.

  • Tirana got crazy quick. 2 years ago we rented a 3 bedroom in the center for €850/month. Now you frequently see 1 bedrooms further out for €1200.

  • I have a few stupid tricks that might help.

    1. add a "daily house cleaning time" to a schedule. Every day, same bat time. 30 minutes, phones off, music on. Both of you get up and "return the house to the default state."
    2. clean the house once and take a picture of each room in the default state. Print the picture and put it on the door out of each room. Tell them that's what you need the room to look like when you walk in. Phrase it as an accommodation for your mental health. Then they're "helping a friend with a problem."
    3. Hard tasks get rewards. It doesn't have to be anything major. Stickers work for my wife. Sour patch kids work for me. "Hard tasks" are anything we hate doing. We reward ourselves or each other. "thanks for cleaning the shower, it looks great. You get a sticker" "I went and talked to the crazy neighbor, I get some sour patch kids." Our stupid brains don't give us dopamine for doing the thing, so we have to trick them.

  • The n9 was such a great phone.

  • Yeah. I've been working in silicon Valley since 2009. I've worked everywhere from startups to Facebook. I was laid off a year ago. I did 25 applications a week for 6 months with 0 interviews or call backs. This was all stuff I have industry experience at and fantastic references for. Even the contract companies I worked with haven't been able to find me anything outside of IT roles that require 24/7 on call paying $25/hr. I was making that in 2010. The job market for tech is nonexistent.

  • I don't think it's impolite. As an American migrant to a foreign country, it's one of the first things most Americans ask each other.

  • I get like this. Adhd meds help a touch. Modafanil works better for me than the normal amphetamine based meds. Guided meditation also helps me. It's fucking hard, and I have to slam 2 shots of espresso before a session.
