Why? Is it not Hamas run? If it’s not Hamas run, then it shouldn’t be called Hamas run, but if it is Hamas run what’s the issue?

I use Plex’s download feature to make sure I always have music available. The same could be done for other media but I don’t bother.

My Plex server runs in my home and all my media is available outside my home. A travel server seems like a solution for a problem that doesn’t really exist.

Boy THAT will work! Good idea government!

I got to see Snoop and Wiz Khalifa at the Jones Beach Amphitheatre in 2016 or 17 (thanks to VetTix).

I was one of the oldest people there and still thought it was fucking amazing.

I’ve been on my project for 23 years. I haven’t written production code for ten of those years. There are still commits in the production branch with my name on them. Is both gratifying and mortifying.

I was talking with two other “old-timers” today about our inability to pay off tech debt because our teams are never given the time to do it

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.

I’m gonna answer that with shameless self promotion, but the tl;dr is I have always thought I should be, just never have been! I’m working to change that.

Thank you so much!

Love my Kindle.

Wait, rights? Civil liberties?

I’m probably in favor of net neutrality legislation (I’m not 100% sold on the concept as the whole issue of monopolistic ISPs is a government created issue, so asking government to resolve it doesn’t necessarily work for me).

But you completely lose me when you equate Internet access with civil liberties and rights. We have no more right to an Internet than we do to an ice cream stand on the corner.

This fantastic. Thank you very much.

How does this apply here? “Had plans” sounds to me like they were never implemented. If they executed on those plans that worked certainly have been an issue.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Can anyone point me to any cases where the lack of net neutrality has harmed customers.

I don’t believe I’ve seen any, but I also have not been paying very close attention to the subject.

I’m a free speech absolutist.

CDs? I started with Vinyl!

We are all responsible for our own mental health. The OP is not responsible for anyone’s mental health but his own.

Saying some discussion needs to be hidden away because someone somewhere may react negatively is patently ridiculous and damaging to society.

I have a trigger, and just like my self-harm it is atypical, I am triggered by parents showing pride in their children. Doesn’t matter if it’s real life, or film, or book. It always turns me into a wreck, and sometimes has me believing I’m worthless in dangerous ways.

Should my expectation be that those around me not show pride in their children? Should I demand warnings on all material that depicts parents showing pride in their children? It’s ridiculous. My trigger is MY responsibility.

To quote Trent Reznor, “I hurt myself today to see if I still feel.”

I don’t do “typical” self-harm. When my depression really gets me in it’s grips, I be fine myself banging my head against the wall.

When the internal pain gets so bad, the external pain can be a distraction from it.

Underrated comment.
