About 65F to start with, then just before I get into bed, I turn off the heater, because supposedly you sleep better when reasonably cool.

The other comment is right, hot nights are the worst.

The article does talk about why labor overseas is cheaper. Twice, in fact:

Labor costs in countries where the government pays for health care are often far lower than anywhere in the United States, particularly in California.

One budget document viewed by The New York Times showed the cost of a seven-person set operations team — positions known as “grips” — to be roughly $59,000 for a 30-day shoot in Budapest.

Because of health care, pension and other expenses, it costs about $53,000 to employ just one senior-level grip in Los Angeles for the same time frame,

The US really needs to de-couple healthcare from employment.

Asides from healthcare being a basic human need, it’s a drag on our economy.

San Francisco opened one of these last year

As the article says, there are still original distribution prints from 1977 out there, squirreled away in private print collections.

So they might be dragging one of those out for this showing.

As for the original negatives… only Lucas knows.

But who’s going to believe that this will be the original original?

London only. Fuck.

Feature a game or utility or OS of the day/week, with commentary on it?

To set the flavor of what you want in the /c, subject to change, pending what the contributors actually want instead…

Depending on what you define as “massive”…

The networked storage services: Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive offer free storage on virtual hard drives after you install their respective programs.

The amount that’s free is limited: OneDrive 5GB, Dropbox 2GB, Google Drive is weird 15GB across all of Gmail, Photos, Drive, and device backup. You can see your Google storage here https://one.google.com/storage

Unless your sidewalks are made of gypsum.

Wow, so 20,000 people read this?

Lemmy’s more popular than I thought.

Sidewalk chalk isn’t made of chalk anymore?

TIL: It’s made of calcium sulfate, i.e. gypsum, the same stuff that goes into drywall, as opposed to calcium carbonate, i.e. rock chalk.

We didn’t hug each other. Nobody on my dad’s side of the family tree hugs either.

Apparently all works from 1929 entered the public domain starting in January 1st 2025:

12 more Mickey Mouse shorts, and the 1929 version of Popeye!

Wikipedia to the rescue!

It’s not a complete list but…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_in_the_public_domain_in_the_United_States

You can sort the table by release year.

Some more recent movies entered the public domain because of failure to display copyright, or failure to renew copyright.

Apparently Debbie Does Dallas is now public domain!

Same here in San Francisco. I worked with some tenants who were in the process of buying their building, and they didn’t believe me when I told them it takes an average of 3 percent of the building’s value per year to maintain it, and do safety replacements and upgrades.

As the building’s value goes up, and so do the maintenance costs, because contractors gotta live somewhere.

So you really don’t save any money by putting off maintenance, and raising HOA fees to keep up with maintenance costs and insurance is a good and necessary thing.

And then there’s deferred maintenance: Old roofs, siding, plumbing, and electrical systems that are about to fail need to be replaced in their entirety just to keep the building standing.

This particular property also had a massive retaining wall that looked like it was in bad shape too.

Even with all that, home ownership is still better than throwing your money away on paying rent.

But only if you can afford it.

Good luck, NYC Tenants!

First of all, I’d recommend that you don’t do that if the creators are still active.

The small timers/indies NSFW creators, especially selling the ones selling their stuff indirectly on Gumroad, have a tough time making a living and creating content without having to battle their own pirated material.

If you enjoy their content from your favorite indie creators, and want to see more from them, please financially support and promote them.

If you do upload some indie content, limit your uploading to 1 or 2 pieces, as opposed to entire siterips, please credit the creators, include links to their content, and encourage downloaders to support the creators.

On the other hand, if the creators have retired or gone out of business, go for it!

I guess find a general torrent site, or appropriate specialty torrent site. That or upload to an infested downloading site and post that address in one of those forums where those infested download site links get posted? Yeah I know, use JDownloader…

Most general torrent sites have NSFW/XXX content.

You can also upload the content to archive.org. It will quickly be flagged as NSFW and excluded from searches, but at least it’ll be archived. You can post direct links to your uploads there in appropriate forums and other communities.

Women come in all kinds of shapes, from curvy to narrow hipped. It’s one of the many difficulties that women face when shopping for clothes that fit well.

You can search for brands that carry womens jeans lines that cater to narrow hips.

Obviously, if you’re planning to use padding, you’ll have to figure out what pants fit your padding or vice versa.

When all else fails, there’s YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwVbRQceKdUBQ8cDHlBXMoZvLLYqcLsoy

Well those are true… from a certain point of view.
