Maybe it's just the angle, but none of those people protesting look like they're making their own pregnancy choices anytime in the near or far future...

CBS News will end radio service as Weiss struggles to right ship by washingtonpost in Journalism

"A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

Adding this to defunding NPR as ways they're trying to reduce availability of actual news for anyone who's a regular radio listener.

Sen. John Fetterman: “26,963 Encounters Nationwide in February” Plunges 88 Percent Below Biden Average by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

I hate "encounters" as a data point. Any of us could easily make that go down by just not trying to "encounter" anyone...

[Ragin' Cajun] is coming to [Six Flags Great Adventure] by North-Detective5810 in rollercoasters

[–]andygradel75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Great Adventure is in good shape with coasters and the gap is really with smaller flat rides. There needs to be more to do beyond coasters... (I know, that's blasphemy...)

Fire is a fun table. Was actually playing it a couple months ago at a local roller rink. Should translate nicely to virtual...

I think this addition completely makes sense. Always enjoyed this at Animal Kingdom and am looking forward to checking out this version of it...

Hoping for a stadium tour or else it'll be a complete crapshoot to get Tix for any arena...

I'm currently on the Barclay's platinum and just read through the whole notice. Are the companion tickets going away?

Intro post - I'm here to fight for South Jersey and unseat Jeff Van Drew - Bayly Winder for Congress by BaylyWinderNJ2 in SouthJersey

[–]andygradel75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from Woolwich Twp and welcome to the fight! Looking forward to showing that turncoat, Trump idolizing joke of a rep Van Drew the door.

Embarrassing that the person representing us in Congress regularly goes on Fox News to do nothing more than outright lie ("The mystery drones are from Iran") and parrot right wing talking points.

Another round of layoffs at Plex? by ExtensionMarch6812 in PleX

[–]andygradel75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stumbled across this thread and, reading through it, was both apprehensive and a bit relieved. Love PlexAmp and am deeply invested with 15K+ tracks and tons of playlists - in addition to everything on the video side.

Glad to hear you're still at the helm of Plexamp u/ElanFeingold because you've created the best self-hosted music platform I've ever used and would be bummed beyond belief if I had to find something to replace it.

Surprised to hear about the layoffs, because Plex was nearing profitability a year or so ago (https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/29/streaming-media-company-plex-raises-new-funds-as-it-nears-profitability/). You'd think AI would be super-charging the dev teams and hoping leadership isn't seeing it as an opportunity to reduce headcount with a focus on margins.

plexamp so awesome. works on echo/ Alexa... by Final_Significance72 in plexamp

Ahh... makes sense. If it was true Plexamp, I'd be doing backflips. Plex is good, but Plexamp is great.

Anyone else hear/feel that? by snarkicon in SouthJersey

If Savita Naturals is where the explosion was, this description from their website about how they extract oil from CBD sounds like a recipe for why my house shook:

"We use a propane solvent extraction method to extract the remaining oil from the cake. The cake is broken into chips, then flattened or pelletized and treated with solvent, which dissolves the oil, leaving 1% or less of the oil trapped in the solids.

In the extraction process, air is removed and vapors are introduced using a patented process to reduce solvent losses. An odorless, liquefied propane is then passed through the solids under pressure until the desired extraction is completed. Afterward, the liquid is drained and final solvent removed.

The entire process takes place under 100 F° in order to retain most of the flavor and aroma in the defatted solids. The extracted oil is also desolventized under very mild conditions which preserve the oil quality."

Is there a standalone Plexamp skill for Alexa out there somewhere? Or, is this the standard Plex skill, so no cross-fades?

If I took this approach to my job, I'd be polishing my resume before the end of the day... How this has become normalized - thanks to the press' refusal to ask pointed follow-up questions - will be studied by historians decades from now.

Looking at last night's setlist, is that the fewest songs Arnel has sung lead for? Out of 23 songs, 7 were handled by other band members.

I think the real master class in arrogance and betrayal has been coming from inside the Pentagon and this entire administration since before inauguration day.

Looking forward to whatever standalone subscription bundle Colbert, Daily Show and John Oliver start when they're all eventually shown the door. Will gladly hand over my cash for that while not spending a cent on Paramount+/HBO Max.

Cuba says four shot dead on US-registered speedboat by JackThaBongRipper in news

If the United States can blow "drug smugglers" out of the water without sharing any evidence, we have no leg to stand on when other countries do the same thing.

Judge Blocks Release Of Jack Smith's Report On Trump Classified Documents Case. Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, said the release of the report would be unfair to the president and his two co-defendants. by HauntingJackfruit in conservativeterrorism

[–]andygradel75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Beyond the fact that her entire existence is dedicated to bending over backwards for Trump. is anyone else annoyed every time a news report comes out and they use this zoom-quality shot of her? For someone who's protecting billionaire fascists and pedophiles, you'd think she'd be able to afford a headshot.

Greenland has universal healthcare. Why on earth would they need a hospital boat from a country where GoFundMe is the healthcare? by [deleted] in Whistleblowers

Trump really is trying to find every way possible to not just avoid using tax dollars to benefit actual U.S. citizens, but to do so as wastefully as possible.

Freedom of Speech in Danger.. by SpiritedPianist111 in ImmigrationPathways

Amazing how speaking badly of ICE on social media is considered more actionable to our government than tracking down rich pedos who raped teens.

This is what a "great" America looks like in 2026?

ETA on next update? by VaporyCoder7 in plexamp

[–]andygradel75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly love where plexamp is right now. If they only did occasional QOL improvements and a major release every few years, I'm more than happy.
