  • What's your laziest or most ridiculous automation?

  • Salesman at the door button and routine exported to HomeKit. My doorbell camera shows a PiP of a person detection on my AppleTV. If I say "Siri salesman at the door" then HA will briefly turn on the flowerbed sprinkler zone to chase it away. Never gets old.

  • What unusual/uncommon item(s) do you always keep around for a perfectly logical reasons?

    Jump

  • The piddly light on my phone is no match for a real flashlight, though.

    Jump

  • Flashlights - I am never without one within reach.

  • Really tall people see others differently. For example, they see more of others' heads and less of others' bodies. They also see more of the background.

    Jump

  • I'm only 6'4", male. My experience is that I need to slouch in the presence of normies so as not to be to intimidating. I am weirded out by people who tower over me because that is unexpected and anyone that tall doesn't try to fit in - they just tower over all.

  • Jaws drop at Trump DOJ prosecutor's 'unbelievable' courtroom admission: 'This job sucks'

    Jump

  • What sane firm would hire anyone who stays on to toe the line being fed out by this Justice Department? She could immediately about face and start supporting victims who have been disappeared...not much money in it but you can sleep at night.

  • Beige for dinner

    Jump

  • "Brown food tastes good!"

    • Anne Burrell, RIP

  • Jaws drop at Trump DOJ prosecutor's 'unbelievable' courtroom admission: 'This job sucks'

    Jump

  • lol...asking the judge to hold her in contempt so she could grab a few hours of sleep for a change. For me that would be a sign that I'm not going to work there any longer. She should get out and when they can't find anyone to argue the government's side justice will then prevail.

  • 'Fallout' Season 2 Ranks as Prime Video's 6th Most-Watched Season Ever, Amazon Says

    Jump

  • One does not buy pirate hats, one takes them by force! It's easier than you think - all media is free is you want it and are willing to seize it for your own use.

  • Yes.

    Side note, anyone aware of an instance that prohibits it?

  • Why aren't tall people also wider?

    Jump

  • Ok, so...tall person here - as I grew into my 6'4" frame I got progressively wider as well. In my later days (kinda old now) my width has increased unproprtionally to my stagnated growth in height. Damn! You just fat shamed me without meaning to! Uncool, dude!!

  • Which gift from a past Christmas do you still use regularly and enjoy?

    Jump

  • We normally don't gift unless an excellent idea comes up. We were struggling with our ice maker not keeping up (Ice water constantly, cocktails in the evening, etc) and my wife got me a countertop nugget ice maker (chewy ice). It is no good for daily ice water which needs big cubes to melt slowly but I turn that sucker on every day a 3PM and my evening drinks are much improved!

  • Boiling lobsters alive to be banned in UK animal cruelty crackdown

    Jump

  • Do you waffle about before taking a slipper to the roach that snuck in under your door-jamb? No, you smash that repugnant shit and scoop it up with a piece of junk mail to toss it in the toilet. That sentient bug is just not food to you. The fact that a lobster is food does not make it a more elevated being.

  • Boiling lobsters alive to be banned in UK animal cruelty crackdown

    Jump

  • Yes, they feel every moment until the knife slices their pea-sized nerve center of a brain in half. That took about 1/2 of a second. It's done and now we can eat.

    Jump

  • This is a left/right thing?!! WTF? This just a food thing and if you are left/righting it you are a world-class dolt!

  • Boiling lobsters alive to be banned in UK animal cruelty crackdown

    Jump

  • It's a fucking bug! Boil it and eat the shit already.

    I worked at Red Lobster for a number of years as a young'un. A large part of my work in the prep kitchen initially (after I graduated from the dish ring) was to slice live Maine lobs in half to make "princess lobsters" (half a lobster with body cavity stuffed with yummy). These stupid bugs are no more sentient than a cockroach that you smash with a shoe.

    Why would anyone spend even a second considering the feelings of a fucking bug?!

  • China to hike tax on condoms in attempt to boost falling birth rate

    Jump

  • "A woman is only fertile during about 5 days each lunar cycle. Unfortunately those days are the most fun but the other 24 are safer."

    Can confirm that these are the best days to get wiggy with it - ask me how I know...kids.

  • The US gained 64,000 jobs in November but lost 105,000 in October; unemployment rate at 4.6%

    Jump

  • The immigrants are not taking our jobs, we are shedding job roles because the immigrants are no longer around to fill them. This is a self-imposed recession attributable to one orange baboon.

  • What's you favourite movie with big plot-holes?

  • Good NAS solution for dummies / apple users?

    Jump

  • Fair enough, I knew my take wouldn't be a popular one here. In all fairness if you are using Apple products the iCloud sync brings all of the metadata with the data on every device that accesses it.

    While I don't have any illusions that Apple has my back they do have a lot invested in keeping people's trust in their ecosystem. The automated on-device CSAM scanning kerfuffle that they backed away from shows that they are sensitive to the threat of people leaving their walled garden.

    Another fairly easy to implement local solution that wouldn't be an admin headache is to put a Mac mini with a bunch of attached storage on the network and use it as a file server. I do that for my PleX.
