Realistically I am less worried about a proper military to military engagement and more of an asymmetrical response.

They don’t need to have a nuclear program to do a dirty bomb or other similar attack on a civilian population. It doesn’t even have to be an official Iranian response directly, there are enough proxies around there that could fuck shit up for a lot of people.

As for the likelihood of this, its a crapshoot. Someone with more connections or experience can tell you that.

Uncle Iroh, but post general/fire lord.

I have been using goofcord, its functional. I am moving to matrix after the enshittification of discord though.

Emby is a good option if you don’t want to hop to jellyfin. I have been pleased with it so far. I found the media tag/idenifier to work better/quicker than plex’s.

Jackal snipers…

Texas sucks. Everyone talks about how much it has a low cost of living and minimal taxes because there is not a state income tax, then the homeowners insurance rates go up or get cancelled and you can count on property taxes going up 10% annually. We bought our house in 2016 and the amount has gone up 10% every year since, not including the other bond issues which increase the tax rate on top of the existing rate.

If you have a good foundation for a relationship, an equitable partnership with open and compassionate communication, shared empathy, and respect for eachother, you are going to be in reasonably good shape.

The thing is, the process of having a kid is stressful, once they are here, it is physically taxing and can be emotionally draining. You don’t get sleep in regular or meaningful amounts or patterns, your pattern is disrupted but you also have to do all the other things you had to do before to maintin your life. Chores and work get less time and things pile up. Which makes it harder to do other things you have/want to do. Even if you find the time, you may not have the energy or mental capacity to do it. It can be a very lonely experience even with a good partner.

That said, if you remember, its you and your partner working together for the baby, for eachother, or against the problem, its manageable. You WILL need to adjust to it but it gets easier over time.

Kind of like Altered Carbon

Up: My unraid server with media library, emby and my kids Down: the fiber internet line into the house that the contractor working on our siding snapped. No one is upset so the system is working.

I have been really happy with hosting my stuff via Emby even with my friend’s library on Plex. I have found the media recognition and identification system in Emby to be much better/easier to use.

While the music player in Emby is nowhere near as good as plexamp. I mostly store a local copy of my music on my phone anyways so it is not really an issue. I am going to start playing with navidrome when I get time but a one directional sync with syncthing fromy server to my phone would also work for my needs.

The Emby app on android tv is decent but not flashy and does not have streaming content by default, it is fully functional as a media player for library files.

Krikizz Everdrive! They are awesome on every system I have them for, snes, gbc, gba, and n64. They can be picky about the sd card you use but work flawlessly once you have the right one.

The Analogue 3d will ship soon right? I’m worried I will end up with significantly (more) gray hairs before it does…

I will also take a minute to plug Krikizz and their Everdrives. I have the x6 for the snes, gbc, gba, and x7 for n64. They are an excellent piece of kit once you get a proper sd card. Slava Ukraini!

Not really. I use lump charcoal and not briquettes though. You do get a little ash but if you blow the coal off before you put it in the sauce, it is minimal.

I tried smoked chimichurri the other day, you make it normally and drop a lit coal into the sauce at the end and let it sizzle for a little bit. It’s pretty good, worth trying with a small batch at least once.

Generals:Zero Hour is still a great play, especially with mods.

Shit, mine aren’t shipping until the Analogue N64 does…

I took a job at a “robotics” company after the owner sold me a huge line of bullshit (that I completely fell for which is a story for another time) after being in a toxic job for a number of years before. On day one at about 8:30am, I realized that it was not what I fell for during the interview. The boss was someoletely unhinged, the expected hours were not what I had agreed to and the work was constantly being micromanaged by the owner who knew just enough to look like a complete idiot when the discussions got technical. The only positive thing with the job was that I had some company stock coming in at 6 months so I held out until I was 100% sure they couldn’t screw me on the stock vesting and then immediately resigned.

They still exist for now.

I am a big fan of 21:9 aspect ratio because it is wide when you want it but can be square(ish) when you don’t by snapping two windows sode by side.
