  • Consider:

    Someone is getting knocked the F out on camera.

    There is a crowd of people

    No one is stopping or diffusing the situation

    No one is stopping over the check on the fallen

    Then calculate it appears to be a guy wearing a nazi arm band

    then consider that it would be the shittiest idea for a halloween costume south of blackface and even wearing nazi garb would likely get you a rightful ass-kicking.

    There’s no math there that makes that even slightly questionable.



  • I have a friend in Florida. They have a guy that runs a business and does all their house repairs, fells trees, yada yada. His inlaws turned him in for being illegal (he’s not) He had his paperwork with him and they still shipped him off to Alligator Alcatraz. His wife hired a lawyer and had to do all kinds of crap to get him back out… on bail… because his mother-in-law called him an illegal.



  • Could this be the beginning of the great unfuckening of Florida?

    It would have to be the first step in a very long series of events that ends up unfucking them. Any traction they try to gain will be fought tooth and nail with scare tactics and lies to a TON of people that are ready and willing to accept any world-view affirmations as wrote.

    A lot of people moved to Florida because they want it to be fucked exactly like it is and changes to the cities will likely breed more contempt than it enacts useful change.



  • “With the economy like that, it’s very hard for not just me. It’s for a lot of people.”

    Every time, a fucking revelation.

    WOW, it’s not just one person doing it wrong and having trouble. Truth is, the vast majority DGAF until it affects them, and they they broacast, it could happen to you too! Before it happened to them, they didn’t care one iota what happened to everyone else. Now it’s happening to them, and let me tell you the rest of the base that’s not getting directly hammered by this (that can still afford groceries) DGAF that he is in a bad situation.

    He’s in the cult of selfishness where people only care about themselves, getting what he’s given.





  • I ripped a ton of my stuff back in the day, guess I’ve been lucky, every generic BD drive i’ve used just worked.

    But once you get past the “works” hurdle, the real struggle begins.

    It’s slow, like really slow. Assuming you can find the right titles and convince makemkv extract them, it’s a start the process and go brew a cup of coffee slow. But hey, I’ve got time and you don’t need to watch it … mostly.

    Depending on the disk, it’s still either crap quality or it takes up an ungodly amount of space. Even a decent sized drive buckles sooner or later if you’re generating 20GB images.

    Unless you’re up on your network game, your streaming sticks/tv’s can hardly handle the throughput to stream the video.

    So you encode the video. HEVC (which is getting dicey starting january as the royalties go up and processors stop support hardware decoding) or hopefully AV1, which still has spotty support in places. and the re-encode? The easy software isn’t free, the free software isn’t easy, but FFMPEG isn’t that hard to work with.

    OR, you find an ISO provider and download it.



  • As far as I can tell, FUTO’s dictation is the best of the ‘private’ keyboards. I was using Heli, but had to tie someone else’s dictation into it, and since I mostly dictate, it was irritating the hell out of me.

    The biggest problems I have with it are their leadership shenanigans, and I’m nonplussed that they didn’t use FOSS.

    That said, I’m willing to give on FOSS for SA, if they’re not collecting/selling my data.

    So I trust them not to sell my data with the aforementioned leadership crap? Yes, for now. But at first word of them getting hungry for money, I’ll re-evaluate what else I can get my hands on.

    That said, they cannot have my swipe data; I’d rather not swipe if it comes down to that.
