I got back into it recently after years of not wanting to carry a bulky camera around. I justified it after realizing that "wanting the shot" with my fancy camera drove me to be much more adventurous. If you're thinking ser

So far I've been happy with Jellyfin with one exception - the lack of AppleTV app. I've been using a third-party tool (MrMC) with limited success.

That site feels like a cruel joke. Every aspect is either distracting or unreadable - collapsed panels, un-explained acronyms, zero discernible order, etc. Even if you think you don't have ADHD, this site will make you question it!

This is how it happens though. Some people are easy to convince with data alone, some are not, and others are simply in denial. Watch financial markets before a crash - lots of volatility while these groups are placing bets on the directi

It scares me that we all seem to agree that the federal (and state to a lesser degree) government model is no longer going to solve major/existential societal problems. I don't mean the current government - a.k.a. set of legislat

I'm not sure if NASA or the White House directed that stream. I've seen much better-organized streams from NASA. It wasn't just technically flawed. It was late, abrupt, disjointed and the talking points appeared to be deli

Judging by the number of people living paycheck-to-paycheck, I think all it will take is a slight uptick in layoffs to light the fuse for another housing crash.

Yeah, we finally entered a phase where employees had some leverage and it quickly turned into an economic liability (high inflation). I'm more convinced that organized labor is the only answer as the years go by.

Why not implement it with an improvement plan that restores the cut pegged to profit/revenue? You could even throw in a cash/stock bonus at some threshold and even a raise?
