  • sure it would

  • I hate how much effort is put into property damage but when my house was broken into or when my friends truck was stolen, the police did nothing.

    It's also disturbing how hard it is to be anonymous. Crime or not, it gives me the creeps that anyone could probably track me down if they wanted.

  • I'm disturbed by how accurate this is.

  • That's true for PC gaming but might not be true for these NUCs. I'm not an expert but I wouldn't be surprised if they shaved costs with bulk purchases of RAM and SSDs for these devices. Regardless, I was just addressing a point you made about being forced to buy the components yourself which isn't the case. Pricing is probably going to vary wildly depending on what you pick and you might be able to save money if you're ok with less RAM or less storage.

  • You shouldn't have to pick it all separately. Some Nucs are "barebones" and others come with RAM, CPU, Storage, etc. This Amazon link purportedly claims to have RAM, SSD, etc. pre-built into the ASUS NUC.

    That being said, any NUC's integrated GPU is likely going to be far superior to the RPi5's CPU encoding (which I assume was your previous setup).

    If you want to spend ~$1000, you might be better off with just going straight for the dedicated NAS.

  • The app isn't available on as many platforms. The original comment claimed the TV their MIL uses doesn't have a Jellyfin app and would require side loading. I would argue that's a pretty big barrier for most people.

  • I think that's "queefing" rather than "quething" FYI

  • It always takes way longer to think about what to type than to type it out. So any benefits from speedier typing don't speed up the ultimate road block: our brains.

  • My dog fits the bill a bit.

  • That first season on Trek, 'Sins of the Father' was the episode. It was a Worf story. Worf goes back to his homeworld for the first time and has this whole thing about his honor. I was down on the set and I'm digging it: 'It was a big Klingon show, this is kind of cool.' There's Michael Dorn and he has this line in a scene where he discovers one of the other Klingons has betrayed them. The line is, 'Someone should feed this Ha'dibah to the dogs!'... and Michael immediately goes, 'You know what? It's a great script but then somebody writes you a line of dialogue like that and the whole thing is just so stupid.'

    Michael Dorn obviously wasn't a fan of the line, but he's stated many times over the years he is a big lover of Worf. Fortunately, he remained (mostly) professional during the filming of the episode. Ronald D. Moore didn't even scare him away from playing a Klingon, even if the line was terrible.

    There's more to it but that's the gist. The writer continued to write and shined despite this one off "gaff".

  • I'm afraid the world will end and I'll be a dick without my SSRIs or coffee

  • Insert robo-eye since the left eye is not perfect 20/20

  • I have no idea why my upload got pixelated like that lol sorry for your eyes.

  • JackPurpleEarth

  • Or this:

  • I love how Odo and Quark hook up in the next episode. Enemies to lovers. Classic.

  • He's an Oblivion vampire. He can only go into the sunlight after a feeding.

  • The cool thing about TNG is this literally could have been an episode.
