RAM is insane but storage is cheap. You can get recertified drives for a NAS for like $16/TB.

Check out the rest of Well There’s Your Problem, it might just save your life some day. (Technically this is pre-WTYP but I still count this as one of the first bonus episodes)

Just download everything, storage is cheap. No reason not to have a few TB of high resolution porn of exactly what you like.

You’re right, I was mistaken.

That’s US domestic crude which is famously volatile. I’d be curious to see what Venezeula’s oil is like. I’ve heard it’s similar to the shitty heavy crude from the Middle East, which the US has facilities to process, unlike the domestic oil they produce which has to be processed elsewhere.

What you’re describing is AMOLED. Nobody calls them TFT OLEDs.

You can use a white screen as an impromptu flashlight, try that with a book.

Goth text is on light mode. Dark mode has light text.

Computers classically have been dark screens with light elements. Think green screen CRTs like in The Matrix. I don’t enjoy large blank areas of the screen being a flashlight directly into my eyes. There’s nothing there, why’s it emitting light?

1 Hz is 1 fps. Hertz = cycles per second

I can’t replicate on iOS, but it could be my pihole that’s blocking it.

If you throw in giving each other good orgasms and being nice to each other because the world is mean enough, you’ve got a the fixins of a successful relationship.

It’s not great when you have to wait for phone menus because you have a weird request that doesn’t fit neatly into the options, so you have to navigate multiple levels, then you finally connect to a human… and the call drops, putting you right back at square one.

I like self checkout and doing things online but I’d not consider these robo bullshit. I can navigate through those at the speed of my own brain, rather than being on the equivalent of an escort quest where the NPC is moving at the speed of smell.

In a world of automated robo-bullshit it’s amazing how far a little human customer service goes. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting older and less patient, have more and bigger problems to deal with, if the robo-bullshit is worse, or all three, but god damn have I gotten frustrated having to deal with some automated nonsense this year.

First off, all hail boognish. Ween rules.

That said I think it’s related to cooking. I used Google Ngram to search for it and found a “lost in the sauce” reference in an 1896 cookbook.

Not the colloquial usage, but the earliest usage I could find.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

For that example, it should be in your home maintenance budget. That’s a major appliance. It’s going to fall into the same “major unexpected failure” category as anything else in your home.

Who the fuck wants thinner ketchup? At some point you’re just going to end up with sugar sweetened V8.

No, I find DMT to be quite sexual. I took a monster sized hit while peaking on MDMA and it was like getting sucked off at a spiritual level. Not just physical sensation but that someone or something was doing it to me, like a psychedelic “nut and she keep suckin” into fractal infinities of sensation. Felt so intense it was kinda scary, like being taken advantage of by an ancient being. I’ll probably try it again sometime.

Don’t even bother with crackers, they suck. Just buy a 1L+ tank and some big balloons from Amazon.

Also, don’t do it every day, or even every other day. You will fuck up your vitamin B12 reserves and you’ll quickly discover what happens. Having a binge once a week is much better for you than a couple balloons every day.

I’d also point out ripping nitrous hits out of balloons is most definitely abuse. Ain’t nobody out there using a regulator and metering their nitrous intake like medical usage.

CEC has little to do with this; it’s an app that’s installed not a button on the remote. The search button referenced can use copilot but it’s not necessary (ie you can use the default webOS search) nor is the button copilot branded.

CEC is awesome, it just doesn’t address the issue raised by putting copilot/other AI apps on the smart TV itself. For that you just disable the internet connection.
