  • First off, congratulations on posting the comment you were working on instead of deciding you didn't care enough to hit send. Second, I've done exactly what you've done, so if I'm a pedant I'm also a hypocrite. Third, I'm really really curious; what was the "or" half of the either/or statement you started at the beginning of your post? Or did autocorrect change really to either? Inquiring minds want to know

  • dalekcaan is 100% right. Sir Pterry's early books are downright Adamsinian, and while his later books trade the silliness for sharp social commentary, the humor and wit never diminish.

    Where are you in your Discworld journey? Which is your favorite so far?

  • ‘I Shed My Blood for This Country’: U.S. Army Veteran Born In Jamaica, Living In U.S. for 50 Years, Jailed By ICE After Not Using Turn Signal

    Jump

  • Gotcha. Around here (also US) it's just an excuse to pull over certain people. It's used very selectively. TBH I wish they would enforce it equitably, there is a ton of people in this area that never use their turn signal

  • NGL it is a problem, because who tf gets pulled over for failure to signal? It's just an excuse to pull someone over for DWB.

  • Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy

    Jump

  • I bought a two bay Synology for $270, and a 20TB hdd for $260. I did this for multiple reasons. The HDD was on sale so I bought it and kept buying things. Also I couldn't be buggered to learn everything necessary to set up a homemade NAS. Also also i didn't have an old PC. My current PC is a Ship of Theseus that I originally bought in 2006.

    You're not wrong about an equivalent NAS to my current pc specs/capacity being more expensive. And yes i did spend $500+ on my NAS And yet I also saved several days worth of study, research, and trial and error by not building my own.

    That being said, reducing e-waste by converting old PCs into Jellyfin/Plex streaming machines, NAS devices, or personal servers is a really good idea

  • How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house?

    Jump

  • Oh my fault it sounded like you were only there for a few more days based on other comments you made, sorry I misunderstood.

    Would your neighbor be willing to set up the trail cam when it comes? Otherwise this seems like something that'll have to wait till you're back home. As others suggested, waiting in the bushes is a recipe for misery.

    If you're dead set on catching the person, start logging (ha ha! log) the days it happens. Once you narrow down the pattern try waking up every couple hours to see if they left a fresh one, then you have a future stakeout time. Once you have the pattern and time window, grab a friend, a couple clubs, and when you catch them, persuade them with reason, logic, and threats of violence

  • You're in a developing country (I'm a pedant and third world means not allied with the US or the USSR, which doesn't exist anymore). You're on vacation. You won't be there much longer. Leave an envelope with $20 in it and a note that says "Stop shitting here and have this with our blessing. Shit here again and we will follow you, take the money, and beat you. We are watching"

    Or don't. Whatever. You're not there long enough to receive a package from Amazon, so why stress about it? A street sitter has a lot more problems in life than someone who can go on vacation. Their continued existence is probably it's own punishment

    Oh here's an idea.

    1. Cover the pile with sand/Kitty litter.
    2. Get a little flag of the local football team, or whatever the local favorite is, and plant it in the sandy shit pile.
    3. ???????
    4. Profit.
