This is basic, but there are thousands of lectures, books, and papers on it, going back to the 80’s.

Or anything with Donald Hoffman, which there is a ton.
Basically, our brain just handles our cognitive needs, and filters consciousness, which is a fundamental property of the universe. Think what you will, but this is a pretty popular theory in the past decade or so. Among physicists and neurologists alike…
My first thought was, “Have you talked to the Fallout modding community?” They’re huge masochists and love being shit on, even though they create such amazing things and deserve nothing but praise and monetary rewards…
This shit angers me to no end. Where I live, they built this wonderful highway around the greater metro area. Said it’d be a toll road for 25 years until paid off. We’re on year 29 now, because they needed to “update” it.
Then, you find out the tolls are managed by a for-profit company in Saudi Arabia…? The express lanes, that cause more traffic and wrecks than a simple exspansion of lanes, is ran buy a for-profit company, in a foreign country. It makes no sense, unless you’re a fan of unregulated capitalism, I guess.
Humans have a really, really hard time NOT assigning human attributes to every other living thing.
One thing that makes this hypothesis seem possible, is that some researchers are suggesting consciousness is external, and eternal. Meaning all living things are essentially antennae.
Damn, I got suckered in too that one.
“Sweet! All the functions on my deck will work soon…”
I’d argue merging in to 65 MPH traffic going 35 MPH is a better gauge of low IQ. But, I guess both instances show an absolute lack of any foresight, which is associated with Low IQ…
Lol C.H.U.D. I loved that movie. I probably rented it 500 times when I was in 4th-5th Grade. Now I’m gonna have to get it…
I’d argue that the only fairly accurate source of news, in America atleast, is non-profit, publicly funded. PBS, NPR, etc.
For example, NPR will do a hit piece on Amazon, even though Amazon is an underwriter for NPR.
I wish. Pretty sure it got lost in the numerous moves we made…
Zero (not including my broadband bill). Jellyfin + *Arr Suite of Apps.
Undead Zombies? No. I’m no virologist, but I’ve read about a Rabies variety, or certain fungal infections. Fiction-wise, World War Z, or 28 Days type “zombies”, where the body is very much functioning, but the brain has been hijacked…
Mid 80’s, Boulder, Colorado. I was 10 Years Old. My Dad worked Graveyard shifts at Coors. He rode a Bicycle to work and back everyday. During his commute, he’d ride right by the Crossroads Mall. One morning, he came accross a ton of electronics and electronic components out in front of the mall, that were there as a result of the Radio Shack burning down the night before. Several employess were sifting through the remains, seeing what was salvageble. Anyways, my Dad was able to nab a Tandy 1000 RGB for $20 (~$500 New), with minor smoke damage. It came with all the bells and whistles. An actual Audio Cassette Recorder for data storage, Joy Stick, and several carted games. The only game I really remember was “Dungeon Explorer”. But I did get a few books from the library and learned how to write Basic.
“Bitch, get over hear and suck my girl-dick…”
It’s supposed to be “Made up movies”. Not real ones.
You bring up good point. But, for example, I tried another company for pieces and parts for several projects. The only other US alternative to Amazon for such things is NewEgg. Where items cost nearly quadruple what they are on Amazon. Not including the shipping times (24 hours instead of 5-7 days).
I guess what I’m getting at, is Amazon is the largest monopoly in history, IMO. There’s no way for anyone to compete. Even the $140 a year is pennies in the grand scheme of things. If you require items that can’t be acquired locally…
Dwayne Rudolph Goettel (Skinny Puppy) Peter Christopherson (Psychic TV, Coil, Throbbing Gristle)
If we change this question to generational, instead of “modern times”, those two would fit into Gen X.
Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) Ray Manzarek (Doors) Elton John
For the “Boomers”.
Tori Amos Trent Reznor Atticus Ross
For the Millenials.
I’m sure there’s many more from those 3 generations. But they have my vote.
If the video was ripped and prepared as a scene release, it’ll download the specific subs for that release using the meta data (assuming they added it when released). If not, I haven’t ran into a single issue using Jellyfins Opensubtitle plugin to grab a generic subtitle file for the movie/show if there is no scene info. Its always lined up well.
Don’t really need a very powerful server to run Jellyfin. Most NAS hardware, or a Raspberry Pi 3+ handles it just fine. I ran it on a Raspi 3b for several years.
Jellyfins own “on the fly” subtitle writing works fine too…
Jellyfin has a couple subtitling features and plugins. It’ll write subs as it streams. If the meta data is still intact, it’ll automatically download subs.
“Employment” is a pretty large “sector”, eh?
Enshittification is hitting every part of society…
