Why is it ALWAYS the sports companies?

Because that’s the biggest broadcast rights moneymaker. Cable would be full and truly dead without sports.

The only time I’ve ever seen one in use was a friend that had a shed that was powered with lights etc. He had an external plug box on the shed, and would use one of these to jumper from his extension cord to that external plug. It worked, but I shuddered when I saw it.

I didn’t see through to the end because Rossman was making the same point over and over and over and over. But what he didn’t talk about is that Netflix specifically does not provide the highest tier of quality to PCs. That’s to prevent piracy of super high quality streams. The blockage is very much intentional and not without cause. Similarly, Netflix often does not play well with a whole host of Android streaming devices over which they have no control of the stream for exactly the same reason.

I agree with him otherwise, I just wish he’d have gone into those reasons. Your super fast gaming rig being ‘not compatible’ has nothing to do with its impressive hardware specs.

Uh huh. It’s kinda been done. Don’t forget the cats.

A fun aside- Publishers are starting to discontinue paperback releases, meaning that it’s either going to be hardcover or digital from here on out. You won’t even be able to escape that way either.

Like the way California people say their O’s

As a Canadian, it’s all I can hear when they speak.

Absolutely. I lost my 15 year account for using the phrase ‘burn it all down’ entirely metaphorically. They really, really didn’t like Canadians pushing back. Fuck those guys.

I hope Reddit dies in a fire, and not a metaphorical one. One with the ownership group literally aflame. And I’d like to roast marshmallows over that fire.

Your original instinct was actually correct. Fingers have the metacarpal, proximal phalange, middle phalange, and distal phalange. The thumb doesn’t have a middle phalange. The proximal and distal phalange connect directly to each other.

We have fully truncated it to just thumb because of how it feels more unique to the others

Kinda like the goalie on a hockey team or the drummer in a band. Still on the team, just a bit weirder.

That’s what his first term was. He either doesn’t listen to good advice or doesn’t care. Either way, it’s still a shitshow.

Memory Express is your friend, especially in western Canada.

Buy Canadian isn’t always an option. But buying non-American almost always is. And since a huge part of the protest at this time is about putting the US in the penalty box, it’s an acceptable tradeoff.

If he remained a major shareholder, I’d never buy one. And I’m in the market.

> That being said, electronics in our devices do tend to reduce the amount of water and power that appliances use. Dumb devices are extremely inefficient, even though there are fewer points of failure.

I fail to see how electronics in these (unpowered) devices in any way reduce the amount of power that they use.
