Modular or not, when there’s 10-12’ of storm surge and/or river flooding, it doesn’t matter. Houses built today generally handle cat 3 and even cat 4 storm winds without much problem. It’s the flooding that’s the killer.

If your predecessor beat the guy by using platform A, it stands to reason that a pretty safe campaign strategy is to not deviate from platform A very much.

Cantina chicken burrito with the green sauce in the packet. It’s better than you’d get at most of the fake Mexican chain restaurants in my city. Not as good as the authentic places but the price can’t be beat.

They have a separate channel for tech news. They also have a several hours long podcast style show on Fridays that focus on recapping the week’s tech news.

They also write and shoot videos weeks ahead of publication. Day and date news just isn’t the focus of the main LTT channel.

No, you use it as a media server. A media center can also be a media server but often is not.

If your pi is just reading files from the network, it’s fine. If it’s serving files, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Use the right tool for the job.

A raspberry pi isn’t and has never been a good choice for a server.

For an appliance like a pi hole, home assistant, or media center playing files from a real Nas it’s fine.

I have a password manager with a family plan so my wife can use it. Does she? Absolutely not. And that’s why we don’t share bank accounts.

I don’t like Kevin Costner.

Prices for luxury goods are set by what the market will bear.

There’s a word for alternative medicine that works. It’s “medicine”.

I forget the attribution.

American ninja warrior has had more and more women making it farther and farther in the competition every year. There are still handicaps in place to make sure at least some women make it to the finals but after that there are no handicaps. At this point, even if they removed all the handicaps there would still be women that reach the finals, just not as many. It’s been very interesting to watch.

The announcers still try to hype up the women’s achievements but at this point most of the big barriers have been broken. They’ve had to resort to stuff like, “if she gets a buzzer here she’ll be only the second mom to get a buzzer in qualifying!”. It’s kind of silly at this point.

Looks like Prey 2016 with a bit of Mirrors Edge. I’m definitely more interested now than I was before. I never played the original Perfect Dark games so I don’t really have any expectations.

The US has so much red on its ledger it will never be balanced. And there are plenty of apologists for atrocities in our history. They’re just as bad as the Chinese or Russian (or pick whatever country you want because they’re all guilty to some extent) when they do it.

Denying historical events and refusing to come to terms with their causes and repercussions is not a left or right problem.

You can be as communist as you want but pretending that events with photographic evidence didn’t actually happen put you in the same category as moon landing deniers in my book.

The hilarious thing is that Sony could open their own pc storefront selling steam keys, keep their 30%, and the only restriction would be maintaining price parity with the same game on the Steam storefront.

For a. Company like Sony that already has all the payment processing and customer service knowhow, this would be far easier for them than most.

Yet they can’t or won’t bother because suits are fucking stupid.

That’s fair, I suppose, but awfully ambiguous. It would be better if they just said, “Allegations of sexual harassment were found to be unsubstantiated” or similar if that’s actually the case.

Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

The only way to read this, assuming the lawyers wrote the statement, is that sexual harassment did happen but was “addressed”. Otherwise they’d just say the claims of sexual harassment were unsubstantiated.

I’d like to know more about how those claims were addressed before making final judgement.

The question isn’t whether Marijuana is habit forming. Obviously for some percentage it is. The question is whether Marijuana use in and of itself encourages or preface additional drug use. My position is that it does not and by legalizing Marijuana we would find that it is the interaction with black market drug dealers which correlates instead.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug.

Having to deal with a drug dealer that wants to also sell you actually addictive drugs is the gateway.

Legalize pot, sell it at the grocery store, and you will watch the number of addicts in general fall precipitously. I guarantee it.

Making better kettles is easier when your entire electric grid is optimised for it.

Seriously, 220 volts will just always get you a faster boil than 120. It’s physics.
