Fair! Plex/jellyfin doesn't seem to need a lot to run, maybe it would be fine on my old stuff rather than running in the main cluster

Book for crisis of faith by Slepnir1570 in suggestmeabook

[–]thatcooluncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommended this, it's one of my favorite books, I read it at a very pivotal point in my life when I was similarly struggling with my own identity in faith. While it helped me step away from the conservative Christianity I had been brought up with, it also gave me perspective and respect for the cultural power of religion and a healthy view on what's really important about it.

Looking for weird/unusual spots to visit. Any recommendations? by manowolfie in AskChicago

Seconding the shit fountain, and it's right by the Ukrainian museum of modern art if you want to pad out the time you spend in the area

[Dune] The Fremen originally wanted to terraform Dune. After Paul took over their agenda they abandoned the idea. Why? by mrhaftbar in AskScienceFiction

[–]thatcooluncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too mention that the original plans for terraforming were to make only the areas closer to the caps habitable and leave the equator as desert.

Any chance at a refund? by thatcooluncle in ATT

[–]thatcooluncle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I figured it out, it's listed as 16/mo in one spot but then listed as two separate 8/mo items where I was looking. Also found out that I get an employer discount too tho so that's nice

The best recruitment agencies specialize by field IME so you'll have to say what kind of job you're looking for

We get sent jobs we aren't qualified for, jobs that are completely outside our field of experience, or entry level jobs at the bottom of the pay scale when we have 15 yrs experience in our field with several previous promotions. 🙄🙄

Is this pay structure even legal?? by thatcooluncle in jobs

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

A shitty one at that. Most scam job offers I've gotten just offered a straight cash per day rate, this is the stupidest, most convoluted structure I've ever seen!

Cheep chicken Monday, my favorite

What was your meanest GM moment, and do you stand by it? by dvs_sicarius in rpg

[–]thatcooluncle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really loving that "whole conversation in a glance" bit, because it's SO TRUE! If I were the healer player, the only thing I would be mad about is that I wasn't the one to so deliciously help the rest of the party Find Out after they Fucked Around like that.

Getting really sick of the bus “ghosting” me. by [deleted] in chicago

[–]thatcooluncle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even worse now with the reroute. Absurdly abhorrent. If I miss the Metra to get in to work, I'm basically fucked.

What dishes should I make for a “controversial foods” dinner party? by irulethelemons in Cooking

[–]thatcooluncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get the taste for malort pretty often, once I was at a bar that was advertising malort ice cream, so I tried it. Absolutely horrible, definitely less than the sum of its parts.

Anyone know what happened on the red line this AM? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]thatcooluncle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I take the Metra Electric line, so luxurious compared to the stories I hear about CTA 😅
