Just forget about it. No good will come of this. Best case scenario, you meet up and realize that you are different people and what you had back then was what it was and you're romanticizing it. Worst case, you throw away a life you've made with a wife for 20 yrs and you fuck up her two kids family. Nothing good will come from this. Keep the past in the past.

This is the craziest thing to me...

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.

Inside the house, I'm bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it's nice, I go out barefoot. If it's snowy or frigid cold (I'll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.

I don't know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It's a sign of middle age / senior age living here.

The problem is when people say "financial losses" about services. Canada Post goes everywhere and is a service in our country. Much like healthcare and education. No one says "education profits are at an all time low and our hospitals have losses in the billions" because they are public services. These are things that as taxpayers, we value and use to make us a society

Canada Post is not fucking FedEx or UPS and shouldn't be held in the same regard as it.

(this is not saying that they couldn't be more efficient though, to this I have no comment that isn't likely uninformed).

My children are old enough for Lego now.

I'm more excited for their Lego christmas gifts then they will be!

Teacher here.. band teacher here. Where... you know, you don't want food and shit getting in the instruments.

If a kid did this, I'd die. Way to go man, hand out some cashews. Sometimes you have to reward the commitment to the bit.

I always joke when kids are late ( holding food evidence that is why theyre late) that if they didn't bring enough for everyone, then they'd better bring some for me. Well, egg on my face. One day a kid showed up with a shamrock shake for me. "welcome back" was all I could say 😂

I'm kinda over this conversation. I posted asking for input, not someone being argumentative. If you had a stronger argument, maybe I'd change my ways and look into what you're saying. I politely tried to say I hear you, but I'm good with what I do and you keep digging. At no point have you said anything that makes a strong case, helpful to what I asked or isn't dismissive. Have a good night

This is the nicest way someone's put it. I've tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I'm going to have to figure out as I can't get W11 on it.

I want to do it so bad!.... but I think I'll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

These lists are subjective. I'm glad my favourite one is in there (see user name) but it's weird to me that Robin Hobb and Codex Alera aren't on there

Also, stop putting Patrick Rothfuss on these things. His series will never be finished and we should stop getting people stuck on book 2

I imagine it must be nice living in a place where your government doesn't care. Enjoy your free torrents. I'm ok with a few bucks here and there

So right now, I have Radarr and Sonarr automate everything to plex.

Is there a way, I can automate:

I add to Spotify playlist (I would keep Spotify free as it is good at finding things for me)

Something detects it

Something downloads it

It shows up in PlexAmp

Ive been paying for Spotify premium because I need it for my job and I don't want to spend a ton of time tweaking and naming things. I'd rather use PlexAmp and stop paying if possible but I'd like it to be easy (with a little work here and there) like my arr+plex setup.

Am I asking for something that doesn't exist?

Also see: sunk cost fallacy

I used to pay for a VPN and torrent everything but I'll be honest, $ for $ it costs the same or less AND there is way more selection. I'm ok to pay a little for a better service. I don't have to figure out what's streaming on what and I get high quality tv and movies for pennies on the dollar. Even if I went the "free" route I still have to pay for a vpn

I've had Samsung for around nine years. The thing that kept me married to them was the SD card slot. Now that it's gone, after my Note 10+ stops getting updates, I'll be looking at something else. I have the Samsung watch, buds and tablet but I'm assuming they'll work with a pixle if that's what I land on. I like the Samsung nearby share but that's such a small thing and doesn't keep brand loyalty. Otherwise, what do they offer that say the pixle doesn't?

As a Canadian, yes please. Their culture infiltrates ours so much that there are some people who believe in the American superiority and don't understand that we're two different peoples, with very different approaches to how we should live and treat others. Obviously, we Canadians are not perfect, and we have more in common than not but it's disheartening to hear Canadians (including people in my own inner circle) view our country as nothing but the USA's little bitch.

I get the world is sliding right, and our political pendulum definitely swings. But I worry that in the efforts to acknowledge the harms that we've done (and currently do) to people in our own country, that the backlash to those policies and acknowledgments will cause us to lose things that I'm proud of and freedoms that I enjoy.

I think OP meant to say

"his ace in the hole" but either speech to text or fat thumbs got in the way

To you last point, only for outdoor weather.

They can comfortably live in Fahrenheit for house temp, water temp, body temp and cooking temps.

Have made my day, most likely my week. Ads aside, I friggin HATE the Chromecast UI

Now, let's pretend that I'm 5 yrs old. How do I get this to. Be the default launcher? I've already combed through the settings options and can't seem to figure it out...

I'm a teacher. I'm looking forward to summer vacation starting June 29th where I get to have 66 days off to be with my 3 kids. They're now at a really fun age and I can't wait

4 years ago next week marks my mom's diagnosis and the 10 months that followed. Watching your loved ones go slowly insane and become unable to speak and move in such a short time (she was mid 50s) when they should be healthy changes you. Everything I look at, everything I think about is now looked at under a different lense. And given my age, there just aren't a lot of people around me who have any idea what it's like and assume it's just handling the pain.

Like... no. I'm different now.

Bananas.

Healthy ✔️ Comes in its own container ✔️ Tasty ✔️

I try one every year thinking this will be my year.

Unfortunately the texture kills me
