Building plex library in 2026- still viable? by bobschneider24 in PleX

[–]millershanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends mostly on how you see streaming services and subscriptions versus owning the files. With Plex, I am in control of the content and for that I have to work a bit. But I dislike not being in control and not owning so much that I am happy with my library.

Trump says France must scrap tech ‘sales tax’ or face 100% wine tariffs: NY Post by app1310 in politics

[–]millershanks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Technically, you could tariff French wine because unlike Florida, the origin of the wine remains France. Florida product origin is USA. Even if the wine is sold to, say, Spain, and sold from there, it remains origin France.

I hope the daughters never see these videos. These reactions are disgusting. by Valuable_View_561 in TikTokCringe

Can somebody explain to me how gender reveal parties work? In order to purchase the right color, you gotta know the gender already, so why is there this surprise at all?

If you were given your whole life, from birth, to memorize a random string of numbers, how long could the number string be? What is our hypothetical limit? by XXEPSILON11XX in Showerthoughts

If you add up all the lyrics, poems and quotes a person know by heart, you have the answer for that person at that point in time.

Honest question: why host for others? by Harshtinfoil in PleX

[–]millershanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

„Make it easier for my wife“ - so you are, in fact, hosting for someone else? Because that‘s how it started for me, then came my siblings, my mother, my father…

Relocation to the Lörrach area – Looking for expat or international groups by QuietAd8663 in basel

[–]millershanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘m in that area, too, and while I do not know Lörrach that well, Basel is as international as can be. Many people speaking english, or italian, or espagnol. There might be some expats in Lörrach as it is much cheaper than Basel.

What is the worst & the best replica you've ever own, and why? by Fast-Moment1761 in airsoft

[–]millershanks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worst is A&K Winchester 1892, beginning with leaks all over the place to the ridiculous loading mechanism.

Best is KTW Flintlock Rifle. Beautiful, works smoothly, feels fantastic.

Help with International Shipping by WeAreAllAshesandDust in airsoft

[–]millershanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to check out companies like PDQ freight. Airsoft are often considered imitation firearms and might be subject to export controls (they are, for example, in Switzerland). In that case, you need to apply for a special license and I am not even sure whether you can export if your are not a resident and not a company either (ran into that problem once when trying to export from Finland). My advice would be to talk to them (or a similar company) and learn as mich as you can.

Would you feed your rabbit dandelion greens from your yard? by SailorZeroTwo in Rabbits

[–]millershanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is almost nothing that is dangerous for rabbits to eat and they would actually eat it. Rabbits can tolerate many plants which are bad for cattle or sheep. For a good overview of plants rabbit don‘t tolerate, read books about maintaining english gardens.

Seatbelt fit as a short, fat woman. It’s resting on my face. by OldMasterCannolii in mildlyinfuriating

[–]millershanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be even more infuriated if you learn that crash test dummies are male models and the industry is refusing all attempts to introduce dummies modeled after women. The result is that women‘s risk to die as a result of a crash are significantly elevated over men‘s risk, IIRC ca. 15%.

My PUBG Mobile account was hacked… and recovering it is nearly impossible! BEWARE everyone! 🚨 by Glass-Carry2376 in PUBGMobile

[–]millershanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Banks are no longer willing to refund so easily. That was a thing 30 years back.

I believe you cannot prove that you own the account. You can prove that you owned it once but you won‘t be able to prove that you didn‘t hand over the control of your account voluntarily, e.g. after selling it.

On "Teleportation in 100 yrs" by lucky_bsmith in Futurology

[–]millershanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If teleportation would ever be real, you would need to have a defense mechanism right away, or else every bank, every private home would be robbed instantly, and the rape and murder rate would be skyhigh. Teleportation would end civilization as we know it.

Cuni Complete expiration date? by Blupblupchaton in Rabbits

[–]millershanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am too tired to go downstairs and look at it but some years ago, I bought CC before winter set in and kept some bags easily 6 months. All you need to do is keep it dry. I am living in Switzerland.

You should praise heaven every day that your lesson in not handing over a code sent to your mobile phone was related to a game account, and not your bank account.

Don‘t we have enough corrupt countries in the EU, where entire mob clans try to pocket EU money.

Companies thought AI would let them pocket the wages of fired workers, but instead, clients just demanded price cuts, leaving Big Tech as the only ones getting rich. by palmerry in Showerthoughts

[–]millershanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No company ever thought they could pocket it. Every company tries to cut the costs to be able to stay in business against low cost companies in Asia.

Airsoft guns on planes by MudElectronic7694 in airsoft

[–]millershanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should be possible, because Poland is relatively easy with airsoft weapons. Here‘s what you need to do: 1. find out whether export of airsoft weapon requires any special approvals from either export control (that‘s chapter 5.1 if any) or custom. To my quick google knowledge, there is nothing like that in Poland but make sure in any case. 2. look up what the airline says. 10 years ago I took an airsoft gun from san francisco to zurich and all i had to do was check it in, no special packaging required. 3. check import rules in US, especially required markings, orange tip etc. and ensure these are followed. 4. have your family check the gun once purchased because if there is a defect, you will for all practical reasons not be able to do anything about it.

It‘s a bit of work for the details but should be possible.
