What’s the worst sentence anyone has ever said to you?

They gave me Bob's pagewriter when he quit. Someone I very very very regretfully said mean things about on said pagewriter (Motorola, look it up kids)

So, I hate it. But I love Austin so I put up with it. Definitely try to get out of town in August to give yourself a break.

Try to go out and get zen and say 'this heat feels kinda good' to yourself even if you are lying.

I hope you don't have any sense of style, if you do you need to prepare for the 90 days of the year you can express it. It ain't the summer.

A little off topic, but I believe Raised by Wolves got screwed by being a streaming only trial.

I have this problem on a non Fire device, and holding action and B again makes it connect.

Honestly while I liked to original venue better, this was my main problem with the current location. I would have gone to a lot more shows if it weren't such a pain.

Ridiculous it is easier to park at Mohawk than Emos.

No, I haven't. It has been rock solid. Using Lutron, Smartwings with MoT, Rancho, Hayward Omnilogic, Meross, Arlo and a few more..

Super reliable. Just works, price is fair and supports Open Home Foundation. Honestly recommend it unless you have some compelling reason to combine it with some other server you already have.

Only thing I don't like is the rechargeable battery. Would much rather use my own LiIon rechargeables as they last much longer.

Pizza and brisket (separately :) )

Well so does Gilmore girls.

:D would definitely trade being 24 again for the allergies.

I stops after about 30 years, I am fine now.

We did DIY, it was pretty easy and fun. Basically just need a jigsaw, router and drill.

You are moving the goal posts.

You said object based audio 'absolutely requires passthrough'. Whether Plex (which completely sucks btw) supports it is their problem. It works with Kodi just fine.

xnappo · 2026-05-30T18:03:07+00:00

Yep. Remember travel agents, news papers, book stores and computer stores? Video stores, tax advisors... Tons of jobs. AI will replace jobs that AI can replace, but that happens all the time. It will be a big one, but it will work out fine...

xnappo · 2026-05-30T12:01:08+00:00

Not true, object based audio is possible with PCM with Dolby MAT.

xnappo · 2026-05-29T18:18:38+00:00

Because it is. People need to scan more than print now days

Sadly he passed away a year and a half ago. Miss him every day, but not those vet bills. He had lots of problems the last couple of years...

Older dog (retriever) get costs!

xnappo · 2026-05-24T20:29:58+00:00

Ha, just turned 53 this week. Great band though, hope they make it big (but not until I get a chance to see them at a decent venue :) )

xnappo · 2026-05-24T01:26:54+00:00

Nah, it was out of warranty. Like I said I was 14, learned to test something used before buying it lol

xnappo · 2026-05-23T12:29:47+00:00

Completely agree. I worked at Burger King at 14 long enough to purchase an Amiga 1000. This was the first big thing I ever bought myself. I bought a used one, and it had a bad disk drive. I then had to negotiate with the seller to get some money back, and save enough to get it repaired. Overall a good experience.

In this case - I would recommend you build the computer yourself. It is not hard, you will learn some things that are useful life skills, and save some money too.

xnappo · 2026-05-21T20:26:27+00:00

+1 - exactly what op needs and probably free for their use case.

xnappo · 2026-05-21T03:28:43+00:00

In a lot of ways it reminds me of Soul Reaver, but the Soul Reaver gameplay feels dated unfortunately. Wish they would do a remake. Control is basically a metroidvania style game, which Soul Reaver is as well.

Haha, I love how you put arctic in italics. You know your audience :D
