This sounds like someone who doesn’t know about organ transplants. I learned about lung transplants recently and about half of people die within 5 years of getting one. Those who make it longer often having major issues like popcorn lung that force them to live limited lives due to the complications. They also require lots of medications to make your body not reject them. Those meds can be difficult to actually take if you also have other issues that require different courses of medication like infection or cancer.

I never tried Plex. Just went with Jellyfin, so don’t know what I’m missing. Jellyfin works fine though.

PayPal is the easiest to get rid of in my view. I rarely use it for anything unless some website requires it.

I wonder what they’re going to prioritize now

Google literally opens all your email and scans the contents to build an ad profile on you. They scan all attachments too.

Sounds like a good way to convince transgender people to buy guns

Everyone that sells their time to make a living is part of the same class. Everyone that makes their money through appreciation of capital is a different class.

Yeah - the video does clarify that the UK is one of the few places the desiccant one makes sense.

How do they manage changes to the site and refreshing the peers with the latest copy?

I watched this. It was of interest to me because I must run two dehumidifiers in my house and they use a ton of energy. Unfortunately, this desiccant dehumidifier would use even more energy. Hoping someday someone figures out how to build a more efficient one.

In the meantime, I think manufacturers need to build all dehumidifiers with a repeat cycle timer built in. I find it far more energy efficient to run for some period like 30 minutes till the humidity drops low — like 45%, then shut off for 60-120 minutes while the humidity slowly creeps back up until the cycle repeats. Most dehumidifiers work based on a humidity threshold and will constantly click on and off as the threshold gets crossed. In my experience, this uses a lot more energy. Being in a high cost state it is completely unaffordable.

Casino operators literally say it out loud:

“If you wanna get rich, make little people feel like big people… good food cheap, good whiskey cheap, and a good gamble. That’s all there is to it, son.” - Benny Binion

The cheap food and entertainment serves a purpose though. The underlying game Vegas plays with your psychology is to try to make you feel rich. If they can make the average person feel wealthy by giving them free drinks or letting them stay in a nice room, then they are more likely to spend big in the casino. All the marketing is designed around this too. Keep this in mind if you ever end up in Vegas. I was never really into Vegas myself until I went and learned the history. I can see the charm of it, I just don’t get carried away.

Annual visitation took a dip during Covid and afterwards but largely recovered as recently as 2024. Pre-Covid visitation was roughly 42+ million/ year. In 2024, there were 41+ million visitors. I think it’s true that prices have gone up, but haven’t seen any data. I’m not convinced that the expense is the driver of this trend though… possibly a brewing recession, but the biggest difference from last year is US policy.

Use Ubuntu Touch?

Hipster Disneyland

Valgrind to the rescue

People will make their own anecdotal gripes about Vegas, but the real reason is the Trump administration’s insane border and trade policies driving away international visitors as they fear getting arbitrarily detained or they actively boycott the US.

what armed left?

Gavin can keep going with it in my book. I’ll be out there with an AR-strapped to my chest and an F-350 with dual Gavin flags flying off the back corners if that’s what it takes to beat Trump.
