Yeah, there’s different sign language “languages”, with other variations and slang. No perfect system. Plus words for things thar only exist in that area, like a schnitzel vs fried chicken. It’d still be great if we could codify a thorough set of words that are the same across the board for basics like bicycle, toilet, hospital, food, drink, face, leg, etc., things we all have generally in common, so that learning the area specific words would be all that is needed.
Because it doesn’t work anymore, especially with the Republicans in charge. They know that if trump goes they’ll be held to account, too, so better to keep the PoS in office so they don’t have to deal with any fallout. They’d have to follow through with removal from office. Impeachment has become nothing more than wagging a finger and a furrowed brow
I like this idea. Generally somewhat simplified, and no “pronunciation” needed if it were standardized.
Pretty easy when they took away my favorite app and tried to force me into their ad-riddled POS - along with their hostile treatment and shuttering of subs that didn’t conform. It was already getting to the point that, after a decade plus of being a “redditor”, the place was wearing thin. The constant reposts and karma whoring, the hive mind, the low-hanging fruit of quips getting the most upvotes vs a well-thought out reply, the shills and bots, they were killing Reddit IMO. The action against third party apps was the final straw.
My friend, this isn’t about how to build a car, and I don’t know why you’re trying to force it. This is about spending money if you have it and want to spend it on something relatively unknown. It’s what OP asked for. Not a lesson on building an 8 second track car.
The point of this was what people might not know about that you can buy if you’ve got 6 figure $ burning a hole in your pocket.
Not how to build a budget fun AF Honda that will blow up after the Nth overboost.
DIY race car, street legal. ~$55k for the base car, $30k for engine and transmission. Then add all the rest for things like tires ($2k) and whatever further refinements you’d want as an owner. All told, probably $110k DIY minimum. Play with your choices here. Cheaper than any modern supercar, even the used ones.
Aaaand that’s one of the reasons why I got rid of Plex. “Bought” it, then they found some other feature to paywall. Bought that, then another feature. Then it stopped playing files of certain extensions through chromecast. Fuck that. Put together Jellyfin and moved my collection over. Zero trouble since.
Series didn’t click, but I liked Serenity.
Is it? Maybe I got them confused because of Kirk’s “change my mind” bs.
I knew him because of the memes that distorted his face to look like “Butthead” from the cartoon and the “change my mind” meme. I didn’t know how ingrained his shitty answer-as-accusation or racist dogwhistle was in right wing circles.
Any of the vapid and shallow trends. From tiktok “challenges” to the Stanley mug craze. All designed to separate the individual from their money and sense.
TBF that’s happened here, too. However, it isn’t institutionalized like reddit is doing.
Because compared to America everyone else’s “shit” is 10x better than our “none at all”.
Personally I don’t care for the trend that is RGB EvReyWhERe!!1!1! MoRe!1!1! Especially in what amounts to pretty normal cases. Just a box with a bunch of bolt on lights and fans. Yay?
I far more admire a computer where someone has taken the time to actually invest some customization that took skill. Bending watercool hard tubing around a hand made or modified case. Lights are fine for accent or drama, but not as a misrepresentation of uniqueness or effort.
Yep. The astroturfing and hive mind made it easy to leave after the API debacle. Any modestly large sub pretty much made outside opinion not worth sharing. Smaller subs were still mostly ok, but even those were being overrun with reposts or people skirting the purpose of the sub trying to get karma. You couldn’t have discussions anymore, it was people posting for karma and people responding in ways to hop on karma coattails.
OpenVPN into my own LAN. Stream from there to my device.
Hah, yes. This is a good take.
It’s like buying a knighthood from an organization that claims to have rights to grant such things. Even though the title is meaningless.
Mensa is the same.
IOW it’s an organization designed to take your money for a title. They get money, you get a meaningless membership.
I understand that, which is why I suggested a codified standard for those “sames” we have in common so that they’re all signed the same.
