Look at you, planning in advance

"They aren't attached enough to the horses to have chosen names for them, they are referred to by their coat colour."

"What colours are they?"

"...fuck."

Revan343 ,

Gotta remember to bring the name binder though :P

...this is why I leave the DMing to my friend

Revan343 ,

That's called Jellyfin

Re-thinking it, I think that would be kinda cool.

It's not far off from people who own jukeboxes

Burning all the DVDs would be a pain in the ass, but I do have most of a spindle that I haven't touched since...2013?

Revan343 ,

Naw, if I'm going to have a DVD jukebox, it's gonna be as bootleg as it gets. Converting AVIs to whatever the fuck format DVD players understand was a pain in the ass then, I'm sure converting MKVs backwards to the same format is still equally annoying, but it's the principle of the thing.

Revan343 ,

What's a DVD?

Sometimes truth is shallower than fiction

Revan343 ,

Everywhere

But what more, short of killing every cop, are you suggesting be done?

Seems you understand what needs to be done

When my dad wants to talk, he texts me something like "Hey Stephen, give me a call when you have a chance", and then I oblige when I have a chance. Most of the time it probably could have been an entirely text exchange, but whatever.

When my mom wants to talk, she just calls out of the blue, I don't answer, and usually we don't end up talking.

...I forgot where exactly I was going with this, but something about lining the call up beforehand

Revan343 ,

Sure, just need to pull out my earbud if it wasn't already in, push my welder out of the way, make my way out of the shop and into the yard where there isn't constant grinder or saw noise, probably find a sheltered spot because it's fuckin wimdy, and all before the call goes to voicemail because if I answer on my way towards the door I'll get complaints about how it's loud and they can't hear me over the background noise.

Revan343 ,

Then just don't answer?

With the people who tend to call out of the blue, not answering tends to result in repeated calls, and then when I finally have a chance to call back, usually it should have just been a text.

If the conversation is best had via an actual call, text me and we'll schedule a call. We'll schedule it soon, like "call you in ten minutes" soon, but it's just easier with a little heads up.

If you are calling me without any kind of notice during working hours, somebody better be in the hospital or morgue; if you're calling me without any notice outside of working hours, alcohol better be involved

Revan343 ,

Reminds me of a story about magic

Jokes are supposed to be funny :(

Shitty modern electric stove tops use infrared radiation. Good modern electric stove tops are induction

Revan343 ,

Cali is a common name for tricolour cats

Revan343 ,

Right? Why wasn't that the headline?

Revan343 ,

Yeah, better off topping up with mushrooms instead. I recommend as a tea, roughly halfway in

Revan343 ,

That is madness. I love it

It's a helicopter, it's not like it glides nicely through the air anyways; it beats the air into submission

Revan343 ,

A reasonable concern, but consider the upside: we can call them Elecopters.

Revan343 ,

Of course you'd be able to tell, he'd finally shut up

He would no longer be a convicted felon if the conviction was overturned on appeal, but that unlikely scenario is the only future where he isn't a convicted felon

Revan343 ,

Does the mandatory national service pay $30+/hour, with raises if you stay voluntarily after the mandatory period is finished? That might do it.

Revan343 ,

The next president, they're going to be able to appoint a couple of justices

That being the case, maybe Biden should stop trying to throw the election

Revan343 ,

It creates lemonade popsicles

Flac for storage, turn up the compression level. Transcode to an appropriate format when copying or streaming to a device

Revan343 ,

Translation layers aren't porting

Probably had it in a frame for a while, it's the only reason my wife and I print out pictures.

Yes, most of them are of our cats

Revan343 ,

And how is this allowed?

It isn't.

Revan343 ,

TL;DR the difference in density at different temperatures changes the sound

Revan343 ,

I do, everything at Tim's is garbage, why would their lids be any different?

Revan343 ,

That's not how it has historically went. When the protestors are armed, organized, and remain peaceful, the cops back off because cops are cowards

Revan343 ,

Naw, they'll wait until everyone evacuates, and then bomb wherever they evacuated to

Revan343 ,

You're right, it'll be both; it's not like they need to conserve ammunition, America will always send them more

The second best quote about Kissinger

We don't need a foreign grocer, we need a publicly owned option

Revan343 ,

I do quite like co-ops, but I was thinking a crown corporation, just because that way they'd have the scale to seriously threaten Loblaws and the like.

Of course, the problem with crown corporations is that as soon as the Conservatives get into power, they'll sell it for pennies (and probably to Loblaws)

Revan343 ,

I would make the comparison to SaskTel or Canada Post

Revan343 ,

Yeah. We could have been Norway, with a ridiculous sovereign fund, but instead the right wing gave it away

Revan343 ,

A national crown corp could pull it off just as well as a national private corp like Loblaws could

Revan343 ,

I'm mostly in agreement, and would prefer worker-owned co-ops over crown corporations in theory, my only issue is one of scale, and that's unfortunately where a crown corp wins out, unless UFCW starts opening union co-ops across the country to compete with Loblaws.

Which they should, but UFCW doesn't have the guts to try

Revan343 ,

It will be if Poilievre wins the next election

Revan343 ,

The article says the box was already 30lbs, so I'm not surprised the extra weight went unnoticed

Revan343 ,

With some plastics, in a proper incinerator, it can be, though you best be using the resultant heat to generate electricity.

In your firepit, no.
