Nothing matters if there’s no meaningful choice on the ballot. And, your single issue perspective is part of the problem: You put your feelings first.

That’s definitely not the quality of answer I was expecting. Thank you. I’d not realized Sony has been such an innovator.

48V, 10A at 6 feet or less length requires 16awg wire for <=3% loss (which is the critical appliance standard rather than the more lax <= 10% used for most DC circuits). That’s a wire with a conductor diameter of 1.3mm ~= 0.05in.

The cable probably isn’t 10A rated. But, it’s not an overly thick wire to get it done. Most of the girth is insulation and shielding.

This is overly simplified. And, I didn’t care to watch the video.

Why is the “high end” brand Sony?

About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup’s receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

I’ve been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?

Because if you don’t do as the others then you’re perceived as personally attacking their bandwagon comfort. Said another way, your nuanced ideology is far less important than their shallow feelings.

Animals I’ve seen on my property: law enforcement, moose, elk, bison, cow, brown bear, black bear, wolf, wild dog

Number of times law enforcement has engaged me for existing while brown since I began to open carry: 0

Bonus: boomers, MAGA, and neolibs are all afraid to engage.

They’ll take my rifle and pistol when they pry them from my cold, dead hands.

It’s an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.

Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:

payday

groceries.exe

steak on sale

dinner.exe

It’s being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the “It’s dangerous to go alone…” meme.

But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.

I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.

I saw crypto from home screen to settings. While anecdotal, that made them very difficult to trust.

I’d never worked out in my life. So, I visited many gyms, found a mom & pop, and hired the trainer free from corporate constraints.

My second session he said, “You might be better off doing bodyweight exercises at home for a few weeks.”

I told him that there was absolutely no way I’d form this habit by myself. I needed him to hold me accountable. I needed a routine.

We did bodyweight exercises at the gym for a few weeks. We set goals of a certain number of push ups, (band assisted) pull ups, sit ups, and (I forgot the name of the hamstring exercise) to “earn” my way back to the machines and free weights.

I can definitely understand how a trainer could get frustrated with an individual. But, a trainer that sends a noob home simply sucks. They should at least provide a referral to another trainer.

Similar, non-wavelength specific translucent panels were for sale a month ago when I bought my 400W traditional panels. It’s not just feasible. It’s already for sale.

Then can we have meaningful change?

Finally, someone with some sense.

Decentralization is one way, the most accessible by far. Proton is an example of another way. Yet another is to never scale.

Look at Proton, Wikipedia, or the Internet Archive.

universally publicly-funded endeavor

History has always been in the hands of the victors. We’ve finally created a significant exception. But, status quo society doesn’t want the responsibility of reasoning out their own decisions or understanding those of others. They’ll believe it best to hand their power back to their oppressors. Even if they believe their oppressors “good”, they’re choosing to enslave greatness to democratic mediocrity. Anything but personal sacrifice.

This makes sense. I had to poke around the UI to figure it out. And, the client occasionally needs rebooted or the cache cleared. I can see how some users would have trouble.

I’d suggest that teaching those users is probably easier than setting up Plex today and then setting up Jellyfin as an emergency service when Plex inevitably begins ad injection or introduces a paywall for local streaming.

Where’s Jellyfin failing the spouse test? My spouse preferred it to Plex because she could turn off all the crap on the home screen.

All those people moving around for work and errands not making choices. They’re in their routine of doing what they’re supposed to do else some event may disturb their “comfort”. It’s scripted by the capitalists. Or, perhaps they’ve been replaced by a computer.

The wise old woman turned off the dream. No matrix for you. No choice as in the movies.

If the pen is mightier, Indy, then the touchscreen keyboard is our elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Obviously it’s not going so well. Be happy we’ve some blasters and expertise laying around. It’s good peace of mind.

Star Wars. They were part of the rebel alliance and traitors to the empire. But, the cops couldn’t hit anything until one of them broke out a shotgun loaded with heat-seeking shot and fired it point blank. Don’t judge too harshly. They can’t see a thing in those helmets.
