Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.
I’m not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I’m currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)
You may be right. I really hate that it’s so hard to tell sometimes.
I am genuinely interested in the line of logic that links “About to become leader of the free world” with "dated Montel Williams in 2001’.
For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.
Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can’t say I’m too surprised.
American here. I’m choosing to believe that this is just a normal, everyday amount of poop-related slang for the UK, and that you’re not playing it up for comedic effect.
The names of the “similar” rides… LOL

Is this literally a petrochemical plant themed water park?
Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️
Maybe its just cause I’m high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I’m thinking about finding a rancher friend.
Threadbare Merkin would be an excellent band name!
Anyone else do a double-take at that thumbnail while quickly scrolling?

Alrighty then, carry on
Check the bottom of the bollard, it looks visible damaged where it meets the ground, like it had bent backwards towards the camera.
I think the OP is right. It wouldn’t need elasticity; it got bent down just far enough for the back end of the car to ride up on it, then when they pulled forward it dragged the bollard upright, at which point it punched through the floor.
My guess is the metal had begun to rust where it meets the ground, and then some freeze thaw cycles crumbled the concrete, leaving it weak right where it meets the ground.

No problem! If it’s any consolation, once you’re past the initial investment of a second set of tires, the costs average out over time to be about the same as using all seasons.
Just don’t drive on the winter tires too far into the spring because once it gets above 40F or so, they wear pretty quickly.
I personally underestimated the support Harris would get. I remember lots of progressives being unhappy with her back in 2020, due to her background as a prosecutor.
Between that and the obvious reasons Republicans would go after her, I figured it would be an uphill battle.
Very happy to have been wrong!
I get Robin Wright vibes. Maybe they were going for the subliminal House of Cards reference?
That’s a great call, regardless of climate!
I have to disagree a little bit personally. It can be a chore, but sometimes there is a sense that you’re taking this generic piece of tech sold by the millions and tailoring it to your personal preferences. It’s a little silly and superficial, but it can add a little extra enjoyment to that whole experience of getting a new shiny that you’ve been looking forward to.
All that said, paying $95 for the experience of setting up a used exercise bike is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
I lived in the Minneapolis area for many years, so I can provide a little insight. First off, you will be fine through September. Early November is when snow that lasts for more than a day or two starts to become a real possibility.
-Tires: Your best bet, even with 4WD/AWD is to have a second set of snow tires mounted on cheap steel wheels. (4WD/AWD doesn’t do a damn thing for steering or stopping distance!!!) Swap those over around early November and back to your “regular” tires around late April. If you live in a suburban area, roads will get plowed and sanded quickly, so you are probably fine with GOOD all season tires. But if you’re considering an exurban/rural area I would certainly recommend snow tires. Studded tires and chains are not allowed on highways in MN as far as I remember, but the laws in rural areas could be different.
-Oil: Check your owners manual. At worst you may be recommended to swap from 10W-30 to 5W-30 or something, but it doesn’t get cold enough for long enough to be a strict need.
-Block heaters: With modern vehicles, it’s more of a luxury than a requirement unless you are living in the northern part of the state. If you have an attached garage, it should be a non-issue.
-Other: Always keep a bit of warm weather gear in your car. This goes triply if you live in a rural area. Imagine what you’d want if you were stranded for 4 hours at -20F. Gloves, a hat, some handwarmers, a small blanket at minimum. A small shovel and a bag of sand or kitty litter can help you out if you are mildly stuck in snow. Get the good windshield washer fluid, the stuff that’s rated to -40F. You’ll go through a ton driving on the freeway after salt has been laid down, and it is MISERABLE if it starts to freeze up on your windshield.
Yep, I was wearing that clown makeup too. Dems have not impressed me much lately with being able to deliver a coherent and effective message, so I was fully prepared for a shitshow of disarray if/when Biden dropped out.
It was very surprising to me how effectively they were able to leave Trump stumbling just as he seemed to be on the upswing. The utter lack of disorder around it almost feels like Biden was planning to drop out of the race all along, just waiting for the right moment… but that’s probably giving him too much credit.
I mean, being strictly pedantic, the sperm has to come from somewhere. So I guess it depends on whether you consider an orgasm in a strange room with a small rack of nudie mags to be “sexual gratification”.
