I’m implying it’s a more accurate comparison, or at least one worth making.

Try non-dairy yogurt, and report back.

And republicans (or, at least one, in my district) are campaigning here on how cashless bail is letting criminals go free.

Cashless bail isn’t letting criminals go free any more than cash-based bail was. I am just as safe. There is nothing to see here, except a more level playing field for all.

Why do the republicans in charge hate people so much? I don’t think their constituents hate people nearly as much as the leaders.

I was an efficiency whore while working management at a big software company.

It sucked in some very specific ways. I didn’t even realize the impact until after I left that environment.

There were some good things from corporate America, too, but they didn’t bring real ultimate power happiness.

In my rural area’s 50 mile radius, there are just gas stations with to-go bags. The gas stations are, at best, convenience stores.

I uninstalled the app after seeing it was just an advertising opportunity for those gas stations.

Alternatively, if they are happy with their pro-grums, familiar with the interface, and not getting gouged worse than the next cable subscriber — consider letting it rest.

From things like being able to punch in a channel number to having the cable company to call for issues, folks in that generation might really prefer paying.

I’m basing this on my years of experience with a now 60-something and now 80-something. YMMV

The Spaceburger looks pretty dope.

It was probably Aspen Dental.

It’s not so much the motivation, but the just doing it. Shia has a great video on the subject:

That’s not quite what I said. You have strong convictions, and I wish you well.

Poor advice, IMO. Going below BMR is ok, starvation mode is largely a myth, and, while nutrition is important, it is not necessary for caloric-deficit weight loss.

Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.

Maybe it’s just important to stay generally social with folks of all types, as perspectives and conversations keep us young? Is that a good maxim?

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Where you live is one thing, but how you face the world is another. As we age, it seems that we have increased challenges in the areas you note.

Trust becomes harder. Acknowledging our own faults and cognitive degradations becomes harder. Making decisions becomes harder. And desire to remain autonomous becomes stronger. Those things don’t jive too well.

One more thing to add: maintain a community of similarly-aged peers. Otherwise, one might feel like they are on an island.

This is based on my experience caring for an elderly family member.

I’ve just started a Zulip POC and it’s been decent so far. Definitely resembles Discord.

What was it that clicked?

Gah, I miss those days. I had a personal video on YouTube from the early days. Something or another flagged it — probably the audio I used for the cheap “credits” I put in — and the video went away.

More recently, grandmas birthday video. It got taken down a year later, likely because I had short, edited clips of Peanuts included. 🙄

Oh, and you mean Justin.tv.

OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.

I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.

Similar boat. I’m still on the Plex train, but otherwise I share the same story and recommendation.

It was always weird when I’d add WordArt and it had an extra finger in it.
