I used to work with a Michael Hunt. Brilliant guy and normally pretty chill, but woe betide anyone shortening it to it’s diminutive form. I accidentally called him Mike once and he literally never responded to me again.

Hahaha. A rented Opel was what came to mind for me as well. Followed by Plymouth Crossfire and Chevy HHR.

Which is why we should refer to them as “DMs” or “direct messages”.

That reads like ChatGPT used reddit comments to flesh out the “article”.

The issue is also rampant with PS5, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, PS5 controllers have the same issue. Slightly cheaper, but same exact shitty parts for the joystick. Going to try aftermarket (with serviceable parts) for my next one.

For the comparison I was doing (it can be hard to compare the two products,) I found paper towels were almost always cheaper (per unit area.)

But that was pre-pandemic, so prices are probably way different by now.

I once went on a deep dive trying to figure out whether napkins or paper towels were cheaper I probably still have the spreadsheets.

Maybe don’t kill our planet for your petty bullshit. Consumerism is bad enough already.

Ad buys for TV are generally scheduled ahead of time as part of a campaign.

I don’t torrent much, but my NZB and torrent clients both get throttled on a schedule. I have no need for my automations to go fast or fill up my NAS overnight (slight hyperbole but I do often get 50MB/sec on well-hosted downloads, which is not sustainable in terms of storage cost.)

I pause during the day for work, low throttle (500KB/s) during non-work hours in morning and evening, and at night once we’re asleep a moderate cap (5MB/sec. ) I also have some mild traffic shaping QoS on the router so the kids streaming won’t affect my Zoom meetings, for example.

Things added manually go straight to the top of the queue, and sometimes I’ll un-throttle for a particular download that I’m waiting for.

Sure, but not all readers of the thread will be familiar.

I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn’t. Its more than that, but that’s the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.

No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs…

That’s been going on since Blockbuster was a growth company. Like 20 years ago, for the TV (or maybe DVD, I forget which) release of Get Shorty, they 'shopped in an Oldsmobile Sillouette minivan as a product placement, replacing the original vehicle.

“Its the Cadillac of minivans.”

edit: Actually, the Olds was the one in the theatrical release, which got replaced with another make/model for TV. All the releases I can find so far include the Sillouette.

Sorry, best we can do is some unrelated ASCII art.

I’ve made these copycats with bisquick ( allrecipes) and its pretty good. I bet it’d work in my waffle maker.

Big hello-fellow-kids energy.
