In theory I wouldn't mind living next to nuclear. I say in theory, because we've seen too many times when someone cuts corners, or has deadlines or poorly trained staff on site, that when things go wrong, they can sometimes go ve

You could do this with the free tier. It's fairly generous.

Sorry, thought someone else would chime in. But I've known people who need to sit in the same place. Doesn't need to be the "best" spot, just the same spot. Not all autistic people are like that. From my personal experi

Count yourself lucky. It's no fun on the autism train. Everyone has there issues, and I can only comment on my own experience, but it's thus far not been great.

> Is it really a thing for some people that you need to sit on the same place always? Yes, yes it is.

Most of what you'd do is the last thing I'd want to do (I have autism). You don't say if you have autism or not, but going by what you just said I would guess not.

I like the bit about the rattling hvac or whatever. Years ago before I knew I was on the spectrum, the A/C system in the office I worked at was noisy (to me), and barely worked in the summer. Nobody seemed to notice or care. The noise

Vuescan is terrible. SilverFast has better defaults. But nothing beats the orig Nikon scan software when using ICE. It does a great job of removing dust, fingerprints etc Even when you zoom in. VS what iSRD does in SilverFast, which if you

How did you get the 49bit and ICE data separately? Did you double scan everything? I'm scanning my parents photos at the moment.

There are also services out that will solve any CAPTCHA for you at a very small cost to you. And an AI company will get steep discounts with the volumes of traffic they do. There are some browser extensions for it too, like NopeCHA, it work

In NZ we have aliceinvideoland.co.nz which overnights you x DVDs. They have a pretty extensive library and a lot of lesser known and local content. I used them for a few years, they are great and I'm happy to see they're still aro

This is kinda what netflix was for many peak for a brief moment in time. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty great, it had most of what you wanted to see. Then EVERY studio wanted their own meh streaming system, and fragmented the sys

Looking at some old photos from 2018 on idle it takes around 7.7-15W, don't recall what I had running on it at the time. Probably Plex. Not sure on remote turn on. I've got it on a UPS which usually holds it over any short power c

While not ARMs fault, the pain is still very real for the end user. Compiling once is maybe ok, if you get lucky. But more often than not you end up needing to compile several things, and then again every time there is an update you want. T

I got an old Mac mini 2014 like 5 years ago, 2nd hand, installed Debian on it, and after the first few days smoothing out bugs, it's worked rock solid since. On 24/7. Never heard the fan ever spin up either. Not sure if that'

Yeah this! The day that casey neistat started advertising nordvpn, I lost a lot of interest in his content. I personally don't mind creators advertising VPNs, but just be honest about it. Don't pretend like it's your favourit

For those few living in NZ, I've made a site that lists all the bank saving rates (and TDs), and ranks them by best to worst. This is mostly intended for people who know what they're doing. So don't just pick the highest and

Re your investing question, I'm not OP, but gone pretty deep into retirement investing. If you belief is that the US will continue to outperform other countries then S&P500 (VOO) is your best option. If however you're not sure

I grew up without TV, computer, Playstation etc in a fairly rural area. It was great most of the time, till I had to go to school. I spent most of my time at home or around the farm, and my 2 other siblings. Very rare to see others outside

The US is a rich country (compared to Vietnam), so I'd have thought they'd have the resources to automate much of the process of making healthy meals, and thus cheaply. Yet here we are.

I used to live down the hill from 1, and 99% of the time could hear nothing. But on a lucky day when the wind was in the right direction and right strength, you could just hear a faint woosh woosh woosh. Personally I liked the sound. But we

I think twitch embeds their ads. To block there ads you now need to pretend to be in one of the ad-free countries.
