I believe the above poster was merely pointing out the irony of the situation, not saying that it's actually humorous. Florida's politics tend to villify refugees, while the residents themselves may soon become refugees fleeing to other states due to climate change.
Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....
If I could figure out an easy way for my partner to download content to my Plex library, I'd dump Netflix and Hulu in a heartbeat. I'm picturing an app where they can search for any show or movie, hit download, and it will grab it from my private tracker and toss it on my server. AFAIK something like this just doesn't exist.
I once worked in IT for an MSP that kept beer on tap in the office for this exact reason. Techs were encouraged to have a beer or two when stumped on an issue. It worked surprisingly well.
This did result in a few years of struggling with alcohol issues tho.
Anyone who has ever been to a homeless shelter knows that it's incredibly dangerous. Even as a big tough-looking guy. There's little to no security or oversight, people actively ODing feet from you, and vultures trying to steal the literal clothes off your back the minute you close your eyes. We need a total overhaul of the homeless system. As it stands, a tent is far safer and more appealing than a shelter.
Agreed, Lemmy feels like "the old net" in the most refreshing way possible. I haven't touched Reddit in over half a year and I feel better off for it. Feels like I can actually be myself here instead of trying to walk on eggshells to be part of the hivemind.
Gamepass is great. It's nice to sit down on the couch and boot up a random game via streaming. Reminds me of Blockbuster in a sense.
You can do the same thing on PC, but Xbox is idiot-proof and at the end of the day I just don't have the energy to deal with anything more difficult than that.
Casual gamers see it differently, and I imagine that's a huge chunk of their player base. My boyfriend rarely games but gets so stoked to boot up a random no-name game and play it for a few hours at night on cloud streaming.
Having better EV infrastructure is a good thing, but I find that most people who don't own EVs drastically overestimate how often they'd need to charge. I work on the opposite side of the city and sit in an hour+ of traffic, but I only charge my EV once every-other week. Sometimes weekly if I'm taking trips out of the city on the weekend. It's ezpz to just toss it on the charger for an hour while I grab groceries or hit the gym.
I was in a rush and I needed to pick up a quick snack that I could eat during class. I chose these Nature Valley bars which said they had ten bars inside. What I failed to notice is the tiny print at the bottom where it says 5 x 2, i.e., 5 packets with two bars....
Black people who are passing through have to leave by sundown. There's still some small towns in the US with this expectation, although it's no longer written on signs.
Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....
Dominos is the last stronghold of affordable fast food imo. I constantly get emails from them for free pizza. Easily only $15 plus delivery tip for a meal for two. Granted I only get it once a month at best.
In 2020 I always waited for the $1.99 ground beef specials because I wasn't willing to pay $2.99/lb. Now everywhere is $6/lb. Hell even ground turkey, which used to be cheap, is the same price. Make it make sense.
The article didn't have the full quote, so here it is:
Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.
Apparently this isn't the first time that he has related illegal immigrants to Hannibal. I'm not sure what he means by this - is he implying they're cannibals?
It would be sad if an elderly family member started talking this way. The fact that a presidential nominee is talking like this, and yet the polls are close, is a bit mind boggling.

G Suite is a legitimate option for small-medium businesses. It's seen as the cheaper, simpler option versus Azure. I usually recommend it for nonprofits as they have a decent free option for 501c3 orgs.
I guarantee that these people have never lived in the ghetto. People who pull guns on the regular have more morals and honor than these wannabe cowboys.
I've had a gun pulled on me a couple times but I've always been able to level with the guy. The ghetto has a certain code of ethics. Folks who show respect don't get shot.
