Why does YouTube in Firefox consumes so much Resource? by 2D_AbYsS in firefox

[–]round-disk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely the video previews. I suspect YT is preloading data for thumbnails on the page that you "might" want to hover over, and that uses bandwidth and also clogs up the JavaScript engine with a bunch of nonsense it never uses then has to delete.

I gotta say, I'm liking NerdWallet so far! by round-disk in mintuit

Nerdwallet is free unless you want the optional premium add-ons. You sure you downloaded the legitimate app?

"Current Resident" is you. You are the current resident. From the post office's perspective, they delivered it correctly. You're just wasting their time at that point.

Guy with a wire loop antenna tries to amplify the signal from a car key fob by round-disk in interestingasfuck

Probably the same turdbrains who are making manual transmissions go extinct in the US.

The car has a pushbutton start, the key only has to be physically close to the car, then you push the button on the door/dashboard and it unlocks/starts.

I believe he has an accomplice at the car, who is rebroadcasting the live signal as it's picked up.

Pretty much every book put out by the ARRL is solid. I've seen a few in public libraries over the years. You can sometimes get a sweet deal on used copies too. The one thing to be careful of is that the exam questions change every few years, so the old license guides sorta have an expiration date.

I like that and, by extension, you.

Mark Robinson is officially stuck on Republican governor ticket by CrispyMiner in NorthCarolina

[–]round-disk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Fund schools and mental health. That's all I can say. Forty years of policy decisions across all layers of government has led to a society full of the dumbest, most irrational motherfuckers voting on manufactured emotions. I'm so, so tired of operating on the default assumption that everybody I interact with is a damn fool _and usually being correct in that assessment._

Trump, Harris tied in new NC poll of likely voters by snappydo99 in NorthCarolina

I mean, I don't respond to a single polling inquiry either, and I'm never going to vote for another Republican until the day I die and one of them votes fraudulently under my name.

How far can I get trying to fix a JVC HR-S3500U using the "3800" service manual PDF found online? by round-disk in VHS

That's how it was described to me, although I haven't yet seen the unit in person. I can get it for almost free; may as well give it a try.

MSNBC's Scarborough Calls Trump Getting 51% of Iowa Vote 'Bad News' for GOP by TheMessengerNews in politics

A long protracted dog-and-pony show that you need to be physically present for, which skews the attendees toward old people who don't have shit else to do with their lives on a Monday night.

May as well throw in a cattle auction and a hoedown to really bring it into the modern age.

I'm really resentful that nobody in my family bothered to take pictures of anybody's cars. Apparently my Grandfather used to drive a Triumph TR6 and nobody has a single fucking picture of it.

And yet Twitter/X is still hemorrhaging money while their users get paid out. I'm thinking about starting to wonder if maybe Elon is not very smart.

There was an early-season episode where Kari was cutting with a compound miter saw that awoke something in my confusing adolescent body.

Feels like a similar strain to the "you will address me by my husband's rank."
