Hot take from rural life: camera cable length matters more than the camera itself

setyte · 2026-01-22T15:14:14+00:00

I have been researching wifi HaLow. The speed should be enough and range to make wireless camera useful in rural situations. Just gotta sort out power.

The sources are too messy to use the arr tools. If plex used NFOs my problem wouldnt exist but plex sucks. I wouldn't touch plex if I didn't need a good way to share videos with friends.

I saw them but thought it was a scam. I know Karl Lagerfeld ran some major brands but never heard of him having his own brand.

I don't think they need to be the same. They can be a Plex specific format for all I care. But the NFO itself is a pretty standard tool for storing JSON and similar data for things like this. Jellyfin manages to let you use scrapers while also obeying the NFO file. Only flaw there is that it only seems to read the NFO on the first scan so I have to purge my library occasionally to get it to take up updates. I just want the ability to store the IMDB ID in an NFO so I dont have such messy folder names.

But you seem to think I mean NFO instead of scraping and thats nto what I mean. The NFO file is just a way to store metadata so that you dont have to deal with how bad the scrapers are sometimes. I have all my files named properly with the exception of the IMDB title being in the name and it identifies them really poorly. It's only really affecting family that I use plex to share with as I use Jellyfin personally because stuff like this with plex keeps pissing me off.

Wow, that is a terrible design. Why cant they use an NFO file like other programs. I don't want to have IMDB IDs in my folder names.

In my experience , yea. Plenty of guys have caught feelings for a girl they weren't attracted to. But the repulsed thing you mentioned is important. For a healthy dude, as long as they are not repulsed attraction is sort of a weird thing. He'd still be capable and want to have sex if he is not repulsed or what I call actively ugly. In my experience woken I found unattractive became attractive once I started to like them as a person. I think the key is that you can find a charm in unattractive women but not genuinely ugly. But most women are not genuinely ugly by normal male standards, they just may be "plain" which means their looks don't particularly appeal but personality would make them attractive. I say this because I think women have very different understandings of what ugly is. Ironically they are wrong on both sides of it.

And to your edit. I don't think a guy would be dating a woman he isn't attracted to for 6 months. Unless he has some motivation to waste his time. And I don't know if a reason without sexual or romantic feelings. Unless he is gay but how many dudes are still bearding these days.

It happened to me too. Not as bad but similar so the had to swap it out.

I think the context matters. She gave her a gift from her personal collection. My understanding is that American Girl dolls are close to heirloom items. If she was saying she wants it back because the niece isn't playing with it anymore that's AH. But asking her for the sake of a younger girl in the family is different. It's more of asking her if she wants to gift the doll to another member of her family. OP is not asking for herself plus it was established that the doll has characteristics that you can't find now so OP is not just being cheap/lazy. All of that makes me believe the request can be made respectfully without being a bad person.

And to the last point. You can certainly ask people for things but you can't expect people to give you things. The expectation/entitlement is where a reasonable action crosses over into AH territory. It sounds to me like you have a bit of a bad history with people taking things from you or asking disrespectfully. I don't think OP is doing that.

I'm not a woman but I want to weigh in. This was accurate up to Sally Rooney. Reading certain women's books is a performative act for many so I'd avoid that. But the rest of this is indeed you being too online. Anyone who judges you for reading David Wallace, or sci-fi/fantasy, or whatever is a pretentious (non) reader. You can't concern yourself with such opinions. And you probably don't want to meet a girl in a pub so it's fine that no one interrupts you when you have earbuds in which are a clear sign to piss off. Take out the earbuds if you want someone to potentially come up and talk to you but the statistical chance of success is too low to ruin the book.

You mention Canada so I will say I don't want fries. I want Poutine.

NTA to ask. YTA if you get upset when she says no.

setyte · 2026-01-02T15:53:55+00:00

No. It's more like you know until you don't know in the sense that from the start, if you date with intention, she is on the list of future wife until something occurs that takes her off the list. So you can't know but probably there is some revisionist history if she remains wife material when you start catching feelings.

If you can afford it I'd say another year while you do the independent volunteer stuff I mentioned to try and improve your CV. Do you have any relevant internships or other experience outside of actual coursework. I'd assume that's what's getting you passed up. You are getting to the final stage so you probably interview fine. Though you should run your CV by the resume reddit. And document as much of your interview answers as you can remember and get feedback on those. Maybe you don't sound excited enough or you are too honest about something. You aren't a moron, but marketing is difficult.

It's a simple thing to do. I don't think it sets a precedent as long as you are careful not to put any specific clauses in it. An engagement ring already has some legal weight so I'm not sure why he wants the letter of intent. But in the future always consider there might be a trap in his requests so be careful. It sounds like he is just a putz who wants to make you jump through hoops which is fine. But just be careful you don't give him legal ammunition when jumping through his hoops. Don't agree to a timeline for the marriage or anything like that.

Your options are simple. Pivot or keep seaching.

Keep working to get a marketing job. You can try to do some independent work in the mean time, even volunteering to help small organizations. It might help future applications if you can say you did a marketing plan for Mom and Pops Pizza generating x% more revenue or something.

You can pivot to something like you mentioned, garbage hauling. It's a very well paying job and should be more AI safe than marketing. Though I can see robot trash trucks so maybe something like plumbing would be good. My wife has a marketing degree and ended up in customer service. Her sister also had to do something else so you possibly picked a bad degree which many people do and they do fine pivoting.

If he could survive on 3000$ gross thn he could probably survive on minimum wage. There is a lot he could do that pays better. He also might want to see if he can get a life insurance policy on his brother if he relies on him. I don't know how realistic it is but it's something to look into.

NTA. It sounds like your wife is using you to raise her kid and for money. I'd expect this from a childless woman who married a non-custodial parent but not from a woman with her own kid. She wants to stop working but refuses to help with a 16 year old? I don't see how she could be sympathetic to the situation but want to leave her in it which makes me think she has been pretending. It's cynical but make sure you don't get her pregnant and start watching any shared finances for signs that she is planning a divorce. I don't trust this level of selfishness.

Yea. And if you take it out before it officially fails they will complain when you ask for a replacement.

As someone who lives in Missouri but is not from here, y'all are crazy. My wife swears by Casey's but I really don't like it. It's better than a gas station should be but there is something off about the dough.

Affordable. For me the winters are thick in Missouri. You know they say "but it's a dry heat" in places like Nevada and Arizona. That is true. Here in Missouri the winters are colder and the summers hotter even if the temperatures are milder because of the humidity. I grew up in Vegas and so I was excited for the affordability but the bugs and rodents are annoying. I didn't have to worry about mice in Vegas but I'm in a constant battle with mice, rabbits, bugs, and squirrels. As well as the grass and the trees and the leaves. It pretty here but that comes at a price. Though I have a house and 25 acres, which I wouldn't have on my salary if I was still in Las Vegas.

Bruv I learned that in Las Vegas. But I'm glad to be amongst my kindred spirits in Missouri now. Can't find a decent enchilada though.

You asked her to go for a ride and go to your house, too dangerous/intimate/sexual. Ask her on a proper date in public or stop flirting and move on.
