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)
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.
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.
It literally sounds like a DDoS!
Snow is a great example. As a kid, snow was freedom from school, a sculpting medium, a sledding surface, a new landscape to explore…
As an adult, it mostly means tangled commutes and manual labor.
Granted, a gentle snowstorm can be pretty nice when you don’t have work the next day, but it doesn’t have the same magic it did.
My bones heart
I do find it interesting/funny that Google felt the need to actually provide this, as a sort of acknowledgement that their main search “results” page is so full of random info boxes and generated content that people can’t find actual links anymore.
Personally, and In principle at least, this makes sense. About half of my web searches are looking for a quick answer to a question (what’s the per pound cook time for a frozen turkey?), so having that answer highlighted and summarized alongside the source is very useful. It’s actually the minority of the time that what I really want is a link to an external resource.
The effectiveness of that implementation and the accuracy of the summarized info is a whole other topic…
Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.
Finally, a sterotype of “millennial” that recognizes we kinda be old now!
Your mother in law is a real one. Hopefully this answers some questions!
This post is a thing of beauty
There are two types of people in the world: People who pick their nose, and liars.
Seriously though, slowly pulling out one of those boogers that tickles your brain is a unique joy.
Is this your first time in an “unpopular opinion” thread? lol
This is kind of a weirdly phrased question.
Mathematically, THE argument of the sine function is the angle in question. One definition of sine, using the sides of a right triangle, is the ratio of the opposite leg to the hypotenuse of said triangle: sin(theta)=opposite/hypotenuse.
Edit: it occurred to me that maybe what you’re asking is how to compute the angle, theta, for which sin(theta) = a certain ratio of opposite/hypotenuse. There is an inverse sine function (often called arcsin) that does just that. Arcsin(opp/hyp)=theta. That’s the case where it would make sense to take the side lengths as arguments.
That one usually is successful by disabling your network adapter, then re-enabling it. Basically…
Have you tried turning it off then back again?
Yeah I am a bug fan of his music, but I can 100% see Maynard being a bit of a dickish prima donna. I guess they can’t all be real ones 😞
Going off OP’s thought–the pump or spray bottles whose design and/or straw length makes it literally impossible to get the last bit of product out. I’ve had some where the straw just plain ends about 1/2" from the bottom so there was never even a chance to use all the product you paid for.
The worst part is I’ve also used spray bottles that–through very minor design tweaks–enable you to get virtually every speck of liquid. So it’s not like it’s even hard problem to solve, but fuck you just throw out the last 10% and buy a new bottle!
Dude, the local Costco had Xmas stuff up ON MOTHERFUCKING LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
I also thought infringing on Halloween’s sovereign retail space was going to far, but this is literal insanity.
That was my first thought too, but I could see a practical married couple jumping at that deal.
Therefore, I’ll one up you with child-size coffins.
This is the one. If you’re tech-savvy you could probably find a way to activate a cheap wifi valve based on motion detection from your camera. Otherwise, there’s this: https://www.orbitonline.com/products/yard-enforcer-motion-activated-sprinkler
If you are buying used datacenter drives, larger capacity drives are also likely to be newer, which tips the scales a little more in that direction.
