I was using freshrss which can grab the rad feed for a channel, but I’ve moved to tube archivist with a Jellyfin plugin. Now they are all predownloaded and just show up on my tv via Jellyfin app.
It’s a way better way to keep track of what you want to watch.
Jokes on you. We never had Medicaid expansion in Alabama!
My in-laws are staying with us this week. Fortunately they both are reasonable and voted Kamala but I have heard nothing but Medicare advantage commercials every 5 minutes as they watch live tv (something we never do).
Medicare advantage is a huge scam that takes all your Medicare money and gives it to private insurance companies. It is shocking that we allow people to be bombarded with this day in and day out. It doesn’t surprise me this same group was bombarded with lies from the right for the past year. Lies that don’t match reality. And as those lies come to light, they will feel duped. But either it will be too late or they are too stubborn to admit it.
Have you considered your local library? A lot of them have an excellent dvd/blu-ray selection especially when it comes to documentaries.
I know it is a little more work but you also get a lot more control of how you rip it.
Also, in the US, many libraries give you free access to the Kanopy streaming service which has a lot of documentaries on it.
My wife and I were doing big renovations on our home and were dealing with lots of contractors. I would email them and include my wife’s email. Yet every contractor failed to press reply all when responding so my wife was constantly left out of the loop
It turns out people just don’t care to think about or understand basic technology.
This stuff really needs to be taught in school (like how we used to have typing and business communication classes)
Alabama… well we actually get to use a black bic pen. But we feed it into a scantron reader.
I am confused by people’s shopping habits. How often are you buying online and what is it?
Groceries and pharmacy are all local. Clothes are a local boutique (I don’t buy clothes more than one or twice a year and I like to try things on and buy quality items). Shoes are from a local redwing store that I’ve been wearing for over 8 years. Computer parts I do tend to buy online, but I’d never risk buying from Amazon. I typically buy from b&h, cdw, or directly from the manufacturer.

My spouse and I just use SO (esso) for significant other. I like it more than partner as it is explicitly a romantic or at least very important relationship.
High-frequency systems with shorter trains are often more effective at moving passengers quickly during peak hours, because the trains come more often, reducing platform overcrowding and wait times. For example, the Tokyo Metro system, despite having relatively shorter trains compared to New York, serves a much higher passenger volume because of its incredibly high frequency and reliability.
New York has some of the longest subways at 600ft (160 meters)
Next up is shanghai and Beijing.
Paris is 6th.
So we could go longer but maybe more frequent is better?
Lemmy and the fediverse is not about free speech and democratizing a platform, it is about eliminating central authority.
Lemmy.world can enforce whatever stupid rules they want on their instance and their communities. But none of that stops you from running your own instance and a community on your instance where you can enforce your rules.
I hope Vance starts off with some of his amazing jokes /s
If you’d like to understand the electoral college better, I highly recommend reading Heather Cox Richardson’s blog post this week. She is a historian that reflects on current events through the lens of history:

He said exactly what he feels:
If there is no heaven, what reason do I have to be good?
He literally just told us he does not have an innate sense of morality. He is only as good as he is because he is scared of hell.
How does ERPnext compare to dolibarr?
NASA’s biggest issue over the last 35 years is that it became a political target. It is really hard to do long term design when your mission changes every 4 years along with a different budget. NASA should have a budget that is only reapproved every 30 years and should not have to worry about outside influence from a president dictating its mission.
It seems like it is time to nationalize Boeing.
This is disgusting. Fortunately my spouse saw the writing on the wall during covid and has left the profession.
It shocks me that we have let huge businesses monopolize all of our hospitals and health care industries.
We are fortunate where I live that the major university runs the bigger hospital, as all the private ones are running like an airline service, over charging, hiring unqualified people, and only looking at the next quarters profits.
