I ended up picking up smoking in college in the early 2000s and I have to wonder if the constant exposure to second hand smoke in places I worked, in cars from family members, etc, was a factor
I was disgusted at the time but then I fell into it. I quit eventually, which was a nightmare, but I do think the exposure to second hand nicotine from the age of like 2 was maybe a factor
I remember working in restaurants in high school, coming home, showering, and the stench of cigarette smoke just releasing itself from my hair
Fun times
My minor annoyance is resolved, thanks
Initially read as “pi coffee angle”
Too much manga
I also genuinely don’t get how a cutie pie comes from this. I get acute and I get pi. But how does a hot cup of beverage (presumably tea or coffee) turn acute into a cutie
Well it depends. If you want quality staff delivering quality service/making quality products then yes it is. You have to spend a ton of money onboarding and training them so burning them out is foolish because you just burn cash
However, if you are fine with delivering a poor or mediocre service/product (the bare minimum), you can slash training and onboarding costs to the bare minimum. Your staff will be even more resentful because now they will struggle.
But as long as you have a huge pool of workers clamoring for jobs you can keep this going and even do so with abusive conditions (demand 100% efficiency, constant overtime, insane quotas, etc). Just burn them out and when they crash pick another resume from the pile
I was talking to someone the other day who works in the tech industry. They had a coworker who died on a Friday and they were replaced on a Monday. There was no fanfare or grieving. It was just “okay, that’s a bummer, here’s his replacement”
More workers than soldiers at this point
I have a friend who studies behavior but applied to employment systems. Tons of research there on getting the most out of your employees. This sounds terrible when you first hear it right? But when you read it it’s about not burning out staff with reasonable quotas and demands, using positive reinforcement, building morale, etc. basically that you might decrease output slightly now but you’ll increase retention of the staff and the staff will overall be much more satisfied
They reject this in basically every industry even though it’s evidence based. It’s easier to burn people out and churn through workers. Meanwhile humanity stays poor and miserable for the most part (aside from a small percentage that makes out like bandits)
If you search for the inserts you’ll find people selling them on etsy for shockingly expensive prices but I was always able to find models free elsewhere

That’s correct, I misspoke, I clarified that with the rest of my post though
I don’t understand what you are arguing?
If you’re arguing that downloading remuxes and only flac is foolish then yeah, 99.8% of the time h264 and 320 mp3 are going to be indistinguishable on most setups with most content. H265 will be the same on like 99.5% of setups with slightly less content and will save tons of space. Sure. But this assumes the lossy encodes were done properly from a lossless master
if you encode lossy to lossy it will result in visible and audible distortion of the image and audio. Sometimes it’s minimal, sometimes it’s quite bad, sometimes it’s masked by your equipment, but it’s always there. Further, you’d spend more money on electricity running your cpu on full blast encoding terabytes of video files when you could simply just redownload your library in whatever format by someone who knows what they’re doing (if you’re so concerned about space and don’t care about quality go av1)
But you do you
Looks nice
I have a big fuck off rack I got cheap off Craigslist and while it looks cool I wish I had something like this sometimes. It’s nice to have the crazy sturdiness and expansion space but it was a nightmare to move around and if I ever move I very well may just leave it in my basement because it’s like 450lbs haha
If you have access to a 3d printer you can print inserts for some of the smaller stuff like that switch and what I assume is an rpi? Helps clean everything up and avoid accidentally unplugging things when you work around in there. I printed one for my modem and it is very nice to have (though I’m lucky to live in a place outside of the reach of AT&T/comcast/verizon where I can still provision my own hardware and just have a normal modem that fits in a 1u space. Downside is no fiber ever though)
Also they make rack mount drawers 1-4u. Like $30-50 on ebay/ali. It seemed silly but it’s soooo handy
Looks like there’s one at the bottom
Don’t encode lossy to lossy. The encoding will take forever and the image quality will suffer. If you want file size savings redownload your media in h265 or whatever. Or temporarily download a lossless copy, encode, and delete.
You’re correct that it will reduce file size but encoding lossy to lossy is foolish. You will introduce compression artifacts and have an objectively worse quality image, the encode will take much longer than if you used a proper lossless source, and if you don’t set your configs right you’ll strip out subtitles, tags, chapters, etc
Additionally if the h264 was already compressed by a lot h265 won’t save all that much space, giving you all the downsides with basically no upside
Only dummies encode lossy>lossy. The debate about lossy>h265 is one thing (h265 is not for archival) but h264>h265 will result in visible distortion
Yeah exactly, ground beef or extruded/separated meat texture.
Same problem that companies like impossible and beyond can’t overcome. The structure of muscle tissue (eg a steak or chicken breast) is tremendously difficult to replicate and that texture is what people love
It’s still a great thing for animal welfare
From what I’ve read lab grown meat is mushy, like a chicken nugget, because it’s basically a paste that’s extruded into a steak like shape. Been a few years since I’ve read up on it though so maybe they have a new way of dealing with it

“At case disposition, 65% of persons ages 12 to 17 charged with a felony in adult criminal courts were convicted, compared to 25% of persons charged with a misdemeanor.”
First thing I found that wasn’t mock trials. I’m hesitant to link the research I was involved on because my name is attached but fwiw my research was mock trials.
Its more than that
I assisted on research when I was an undergrad that consistently showed simply trying a juvenile as an adult meant they were far more likely to be convicted
I am sure the state is well aware of this effect and wants to make it easier to increase conviction rates
That’s similar to the isolated vlan but someone who knows more about networking than me will probably be able to explain why the vlan is superior. I would imagine it’s failsafeness, the vlan is just its own thing
The benefit of doing the domain specific firewall blocking would be if you wanted your printer to otherwise have internet access (eg to check octoprint remotely). I don’t print when I’m not home due to the risk of fire and I don’t trust opening up my printer to the web, so I don’t bother with this. Others may have different opinions on acceptable risk
Easy mode: don’t connect it to internet
Slightly harder: add exceptions for bambus servers in your routers firewall so that requests to that domain are blocked
Dependent on hardware that you own and less likely to exist on basic routers: create a virtual lan for your 3d printer that does not have internet access but has intranet access, allowing you to connect between computers but not to the web (my preferred solution)
