Not a machinist, just an amateur fab guy but sweet Jesus carbide burrs on a die grinder suuuuck for that kind of thing. If they weren’t so good at material removal I wouldn’t have them because those damn micro metal splinters are the worst. I used to get them stuck in my socks because my shoes were loose and then they would stab my feet.
Uncle Iroh, but post general/fire lord.
I can say the same for myself, I just don’t see it as often as I had hoped in others.
I reflect on my past self and wish I had been a better person in my teens/early 20s. I can’t change who I was or how I behaved or thought back then but I can change the person I am now and who I aspire to be. I am also trying to foster that attitude and the skills to be empathetic in my kids.
Lack of empathy is not something people grow out of, it seems like it is something that grows more severe the older people get.
Puffin Rock is the shit
Inside Job could have continued but I am not sure they had a bigger story planned.
Emby is a good option if you don’t want to hop to jellyfin. I have been pleased with it so far. I found the media tag/idenifier to work better/quicker than plex’s.
Texas sucks. Everyone talks about how much it has a low cost of living and minimal taxes because there is not a state income tax, then the homeowners insurance rates go up or get cancelled and you can count on property taxes going up 10% annually. We bought our house in 2016 and the amount has gone up 10% every year since, not including the other bond issues which increase the tax rate on top of the existing rate.
Kind of like Altered Carbon
Salchicha al Carbon is a delicacy. Never be ashamed of it.
The sadness of loss doesn’t ever really go away but it does get easier as time goes on. I hope you find some peace in time.
Up: My unraid server with media library, emby and my kids Down: the fiber internet line into the house that the contractor working on our siding snapped. No one is upset so the system is working.
I have been really happy with hosting my stuff via Emby even with my friend’s library on Plex. I have found the media recognition and identification system in Emby to be much better/easier to use.
While the music player in Emby is nowhere near as good as plexamp. I mostly store a local copy of my music on my phone anyways so it is not really an issue. I am going to start playing with navidrome when I get time but a one directional sync with syncthing fromy server to my phone would also work for my needs.
The Emby app on android tv is decent but not flashy and does not have streaming content by default, it is fully functional as a media player for library files.
Its a much better cook than sous vide imo.
All of my local libraries have cds and dvds to borrow.
Not really. I use lump charcoal and not briquettes though. You do get a little ash but if you blow the coal off before you put it in the sauce, it is minimal.
I tried smoked chimichurri the other day, you make it normally and drop a lit coal into the sauce at the end and let it sizzle for a little bit. It’s pretty good, worth trying with a small batch at least once.
You should checkout the public library.
For me, its the long term viability of older games vs new ones. I can play older games on their original console or pc and they don’t have always onoine functions that break the game when the server shuts down. Hell, I am having a great time re-playing nfsu2 on my og xbox. I don’t find it any less fun than most wanted or some of the newer ones when I only have 30 minutes to play.
