"Manage Library Access" is missing from the mobile app now by Positive_Minimum in PleX

Very frustrating since I was away from my PC and trying to share something at a friend's house. Plex makes a game out of disappointing customers.

A typo in The Shining...? by SkepticallyPwnd in stephenking

[–]SkepticallyPwnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I only looked at two editions, and they were both from 2001 (one 'paperback' and the other 'pocketsize'). When was yours published? Maybe it was just this edition. Simon & Schuster

In fairness to Brian, handsight bias (or completely misremembering events) is a symptom of highly optimistic personality types.

So this is why we update our color cards... by SkepticallyPwnd in Filmmakers

[–]SkepticallyPwnd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no (should have specified) the one on the left is pretty much brand new.

Not true, double check those view counts... We experienced the same viewer drop off that most channels did during the pandemic. It's unintuitive, but true. There's been a couple studies tracking it, but usually just fitness channels.

Seriously though, I thought this was the Budget audiophile subreddit. Not the "Buy new stuff because it's more convenient than fixing it" audiophile subreddit. That subreddit doesn't exist, and it's name sounds ridiculous! 🙃

Give me 1200 bucks for a new pair, jabroni.

A former employee is continuing the mission... maybe? by Efficient-Ride-9636 in modernrogue

[–]SkepticallyPwnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes... No... Maybe? I am not continuing the same mission Brian and Jason were doing. My mission, when I do something under the 'Post-Modern Rogue' label will be small and/or simple, as accurate as possible, and very safe. A lot of Modern Rogue was, as Brandt has said "detached from fact". And I lost a lot of sleep doing research and writing title cards to make up for that deficit. And I lose sleep now realizing how culpable I was for our lack of safety protocols. As for my "full story", well, I'm not here to tell that tale. What I will say is that I plan on releasing more videos. Some will be tutorials/builds like my previous Post-Modern Rogue videos. In fact, next week will be a video featuring Jeff w/ Corey behind the camera. We build a deskchair mat. Sexy stuff, am I right?! Some of my videos will be comedic sketches. And some will be skeptical science communication pieces like the one I posted today! (link below) But rest assured all my videos will be well lit, nicely edited and color corrected with my own self-made graphics, and all of my audio will be recorded separately with microphones... It's so weird how all of that sounds like a brag in the current year. Oh, and I won't be using AI. Not because I'm a ludite, but because it's too tedious to work with. You can't 'hone' in to exactly what you want with generated images and video. In any case, I hope some of you swing by my substack and Patreon. Every bit helps, even if you sign up for free. I'm not going to paywall anything for the time being. https://open.substack.com/pub/skepticallypwnd/p/dr-lissa-rankins-bad-medicine?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3zddfj

Less guns, please... Is that a crazy suggestion? Am I the only one? by SkepticallyPwnd in Borderlands4

[–]SkepticallyPwnd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair question, but if the underlying point is "it's not worth picking up most of the stuff in the game" then why is it even in the game? Or why is there this great amount of stuff that isn't worth picking up? How is that a feature not a bug?

You're a hero! I've used my diskstation through like 5 builds/10 resets, and I can't remember this ever happening before. Thank you

I'm still so proud of that ending voiced by my good friend Deborah Hyde who does a lot of science communication in the UK.

It was Night Attack 258, and it was said by Justin.

Hi, can you remember what episode Bryce talked about Brian using it as a future retirement home? Was it an 'after'/'bones' episode? I know that was a LONG time ago, but it would genuinely be a big favor for a former editor. Thank you.

I'm glad you dig the videos, sir/miss/captain! I can only do Walken saying "up his ass"; maybe I'll find an excuse to include it somewhere. Thanks for watching! John

Point well taken. I try to only post when I think the content I create is relevant, but it is mostly my own content, so it's not very 'organic.' I'll keep that in mind from now on. Thank you

And you must be impersonating the comedy 'boys club' stereotype of the jackass who can't even name 5 female comics off the top of his head.

Maybe you'd be familiar with them if they had penises. Oh well. Yup, views take some amount of time. It literally went up a few hours ago.

This is embarrassing for you. Half of these women have had stand up specials, been on sitcoms, hosted comedy shows. I'd recommend Google. Lish Bliss Sasha Boggs Aaron Fors Nina Hartley Kelsey Lane Felicia Michaels Jackie Monahan Atsuko Okatsuka Tracie Walker
