You appear to have two paragraphs that are accurate… Without a footnote. What was the * for?

:p

As the other poster mentioned, search for “trash guides” for *arr services.

Oh wow, you just reminded me that this was the beginning of “all day all night all the time news”.

Pre 9/11 I don’t think it existed (I wasn’t really watching the news), but day of, as more and more information came in, they just kept updating when they had new news and reiterating what they had when there wasn’t anything new.

I remember seeing a video (from a digital camera, not a phone), probably turned into a gif, of three or four friends on Halloween.

Two were dressed as towers. One (or maybe two) were of planes.

The ones dressed as planes were running into the ones dressed as towers.

So only like a month and a half after 9/11, and anyone posting it to forums usually titled it “too soon?”

I guess but if the production company is the Office of the President of the United States then… What? Never trust anything they put out again? That helps me I guess but it doesn’t help the other two thirds of the country.

To be clear this was Windows, detecting you had an LG display device plugged in, and Windows Update opting to automatically download the latest drivers/software for that LG display.

A lot of people talk about how terrible this is for privacy but personally I completely agree with OP for public videos. The leader of a country (or province/state/city/whatever) is going to give a speech?

I would like to be able to verify it’s legitimate and accurate. Because we are already seeing political AI videos of made by the opposition of a candidate saying something they didn’t actually say.

Now I actually think any videos badmouthing an opponent shouldn’t be allowed. All political videos should be on a given candidate’s platform and how that will help the people they represent, and can’t discuss the opponent at all, but that’s just not how it works right now.

I’ll also add I have no idea how that certificate chain can be validated in a way by me that the government can’t just up and change something. They control the camera. They control the root cert, I assume. They can issue new certs whenever they want. I have no way of validating the original footage was from that camera with that cert in any way that I can think of. Not to mention another poster called out any editinf software you use will need to re-sign it. But maybe there’s a way to take smaller clips from a public speech and still ensure they are signed by a given certificate the larger one was.

Reminds me of frozen gyro I’ve purchased. Honestly spiced well and tastes good but usually you fry it up to be a bit browned on each side, and then you put a few slices in a pita with tzatziki and onion, cucumber, and tomato.

On its own it’s also fine, but basically just a meat / protein at that point.

I don’t use the app myself but I believe it’s the only way to get discounts / deals these days.

I didn’t address anything you said in my comment. Not sure why you replied to me. My comment was entirely addressed to the parent comment.

To be clear I agree with you. But I never mentioned any of that. Maybe you should have replied to the original poster?

A flight attendant’s primary job is safety of the crew and passengers.

Passenger comfort is secondary.

If for some reason they felt it was better to let them pee in their chair (like on approach to land, the most dangerous part of flying), then they probably had a reason, sadly.

Oh yeah I think it’s terrible this guy is imprisoned for not giving up a password, for something they can’t prove. Like they shouldn’t be able to detain someone indefinitely for an unproven crime. At some point they have to release them or it’s guilty until proven innocent.

There’s that one guy who is being held in contempt of the court (to be clear this is not the police asking for his password, but a judge in a court of law) because he won’t give a password to decrypt a hard drive.

They believe it is highly likely that the drive contains sexually explicit material of children, which is why he’s being held in prison until he gives up the password.

I think it’s the first time they’ve done pinball live like that? I was astounded at how good a player he was.

I own the same pinball machine, TNA, and it was awesome to have the creator Scott Danesi on the couch talking with the main couch host, the player’s wife.

They are doing a pinball speed run this year that I’m super excited about.

Looks like Thursday on the schedule, 16:45 PDT. Total Nuclear Annihilation. Oh I see they have the creator sitting in too, Scott Danesi! That will be great!

We’re number one! /s

Depends on the state / county / city.

In my county, King County in WA state, servers make the same minimum wage everyone else does.

That being said most places offer more than minimum wage when I see signs out with their hiring rates.

Fuck no please don’t start these rumours. I know of no one who tips 25% unless the service was exquisite.

No.

Generally the historical rule is sit down restaurants only, where someone serves you, or tip a driver if your food gets delivered.

So even if you sit down, if you got up to collect your food and/or bussed your dishes yourself then it’s not expected.

At bars generally you tip on all drinks, though I’d say less if all they did was open something and/or pour. Definitely tip on cocktails though.

That being said two things have happened in the past 6 years:

• there was a lot of community support to tip on take out orders during Covid to help local places survive. A lot of places still expect this on take out nowadays which is a shame. That being said I still like supporting local places so tip when I can, but less than I would sitting in and dining there.
• with everyone moving to electronic point of sales systems the owners of lots of places of “fast food” or coffee shops these days are now setting them up so they ask for tips after any transaction, and in many cases where they previously didn’t ask, those tips are not going to staff, just being collected by the owners which may be illegal in some places. Not to mention they always have three suggested tip rates, and there’s no legal rule they be set to anything specific or they be in any order. So one place may be 15%, 18%, 20%, and another place may be 25%, 23%, 20%. So if you’re used to hitting the first option (generally used to be 15%) automatically now you’re way over-tipping your usual amount. This results in customers just not returning if they realized what happened, hurting the overall business. But like most owners / marketers they can’t see past the next quarter or so of transactions and don’t care about long term.

Yeah they had their chance. Audio streaming services have (mostly) managed to figure out licensing agreements so all music is on all platforms.

Video streaming services all created their own walled gardens with various levels of advertising. Paramount even offered an advertising free tier but would happily advertise their own shows before other shows (noticed specifically on Star Trek shows but I imagine other providers do it too).

In the end… Fuck them. I give up on trying to figure out streaming video with all its complications. Back to the seven seas to procure my own.
