Prison slavery is actually now unconstitutional in the state, as of TN’s last election.

Wow, the price of a soul went up 63%.

Option 1. AMD is gonna help you upgrade in the future. Their AM5 CPU socket will be upgradeable for a few generations of processors (Intel makes a new socket for each generation).

Currently, your processor and single stick of RAM (single channel is half the performance of dual channel) are slowing you down. Your graphics card is also getting old, but if you keep your settings reasonably low, it’ll still work fine. I would make that your next upgrade.

It’s technically not newsworthy, due to how commonly the “R” accompanies elected criminals.

I don’t know what you mean by “ethical”, but I use Sendgrid. They have a free tier that can send up to 100 emails a day.

Certain subtitle formats cannot be directly streamed, so your server is probably re-encoding video on the fly to burn in the subtitles. PGS format is actually a series of images and will always require re-encoding video. Picking SRT should work with device direct streaming.

I read this in a Wisconsin accent. Specifically Charlie Berens’ voice.

Highly recommend. I moved my web hosting from my home server to a CPX11 server for better uptime (my tinkering around in the homelab was always bringing things down) and couldn’t be happier. It’s dirt cheap (cheaper than shared web hosting, even), performant (performance is better than shared web hosting) and reliable. With a 20TB bandwidth limit at the lowest tier, I can reverse proxy for most of my homelab, too.

Sounds like maybe she did.

Birds still haven’t figured out pants. Bunch of naked musicians, those birds.

They at least let him keep his prize, though.

Holy ADHD, Batman! I sincerely hope you make it all the way to the voting booth and finish submitting a ballot without getting sidetracked in a flea market or something on election day! 😂

I like the physical contest idea, though. It’ll keep candidates younger and campaigns much more interesting.

It’s riper, smoked jalapeno, so a bit hotter, but not by an order of magnitude.

Popping corn, coconut oil, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and chipotle powder.

Intimation Crab is giving you subtle claw gestures.

Conspiracy theory: Barbra Streisand is actually plotting her own kidnapping, not to sway the election, but to detach her name from the “Barbra Streisand Effect” and send googlers to articles about her plight. Prediction: everybody figures out the truth and it only makes her situation worse, reinforcing her connection to the eponymous effect.

It’s 67° in the photo, so it’s been… 20 years?

I love the Strunk and White style guide that says, “try and ‘try to’”. Very tongue-in-grammatical-cheek.
