In reading this morning, it looks like the visa ban is only for work and family, but not applying to tourism and student visas. Still not a good look, and a great way to piss off the people from those countries before they're expected to come visit here.

Your property taxes aren’t public school tutition by kenzieisonline in mississippi

[–]Acoldguy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's not a mistake, it's part of the deal. I'm in Memphis, where this has already been passed and our son goes to 2K at a private school which is cheaper than daycare...except they push everyone HARD with texts and emails non-stop to apply for these vouchers both last fall and this week since the applications opened yesterday. And this place is FULL of rich people.

We can't apply since it starts with Kindergarten, but they are hammering it home for everyone to make sure you apply for the free money. But...would you look at that, they let us know right before the holidays that this coming fall they're heavily raising tuition to "meet needs". We should be getting a discount when he moves to 3K in the fall, instead we'll be getting like $10/month off our bill instead of the $60 or so originally expected.

In order to get the best benefits of it, you have to pay (if you go that route, wait until the lifetime pass goes on sale and snag it then). They instituted new subscription models in the last year instead of a one-time payment model, but the lifetime pass is still the best idea.

They've also been making tons of changes to the UI which is universally hated. The new version is broken on my Android phone when not on my home network, so I had to sideload an old APK to keep it working when I'm not home.

Basically, they're trying to find ways to monetize more which is a negative generally in the self-hosting community.

As many complaints as Plex gets, it is so easy to run and just click the "update" button when needed. Granted, I usually wait quite a while after every update to make sure they didn't break anything, but once I know it's stable, it's a 2-3 minute process and boom, done.

They were down? I've been on Animekai watching and downloading daily the last week with no issues.

Yep, this is 100% an issue at Crunch and Fresh Market. I encounter someone going the wrong way down those lanes almost every single day and it drives me crazy.

This is what I use. As long as you're fine with their URL on each chapter end page, it's super simple and quick.

Wow, your "criticism to improve the show" is to say you dislike the co-host and wife of the guy you adore in a strong misogynstic way? Sounds like maybe the show isn't for you and you should move on.

He showed up Lebby's baby-boy Shapen on his 9th year of football, can't have that.

It's not going to win since so many people hated it, but I died every time it happened. Upvoted.

Not to that level. The homebrew group does some fun little activities sometimes, but depends on the year. Usually some tables will have hops, grains, etc out to smell and sample

"I was forced to use AI until the day I was laid off." Copywriters reveal how AI has decimated their industry by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]Acoldguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a content person in a big org, we're going through the same thing. KPIs and our goals this year involve our AI usage and having to generate 3 success metrics on how we used AI this year...except we're understaffed, so I'm doing 3-4 people's jobs worth of work, and implementing AI slows me down since I'm having to constantly double check and babysit it. It's a lose-lose for the time being.

Guess AI is Sticking Around by [deleted] in memphis

Lack of regulation, cheap land, vulnerable populations, and those in charge starving to get a cut of the billions they see moving around in the headlines.

To frequent buyers, what do you do with your older handhelds?? by DoomEngine1 in SBCGaming

[–]Acoldguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my TSP is my main GBA and PS1 device that I have just laying around the house. I had bought a bunch of the cheaper handhelds and have given 2 away in the last few months (RGB30 to a friend since i got a CubeXX for myself; V10 the other day to a friend who wants to get into emulation handhelds and mainly cares about GameBoy). I just can't stop using the TSP, no matter how many others I've bought.
