Or when Nellie shot the hooker with a crossbow because she was bored.

Yeah, that show got dark after the 3rd (or was it the 4th?) season.

The comparison goes deeper. Nellie and Joffrey were basically the same character (minus the whole royal drama). Both evil, spoiled brats with rich parents who usually got away with whatever they did. The fact that decades apart and in completely different shows that their actors look strikingly alike is pretty interesting.

Bike alpaca is Taylor Lautner (from Twilight)

Joffrette is Alison Arngrim who was Nellie Olsen on Little House on the Prarie.

My takeaway is that I’m gonna start calling no-bake cookies “no bakies”.

If I understand correctly:

“Ask” is for more open ended questions (The vague “what do you think about” posts like you mentioned). Posts that are asking for a simple / single answer are generally removed for not being open ended. The question is more for discussion.

Here you can ask things that are less open ended and/or are looking for a single or simple answer.

I usually do everything from CLI.

Are you wanting to re-encode it to a different codec or just change the container from mkv to mp4?

To remux the file (change the container format), you can simply do:

# The -f mp4 is technically optional as it can deduce it from the extension, but I like to be explicit
ffmpeg -i file.mkv -f mp4 file.mp4

That should go very fast as it’s just copying the streams as-is into a new container.

If you want to re-encode it to a different codec, then you’ll need to use a more complex ffmpeg command.

Money can’t buy taste.

A few years ago I decided to try the lithium-ion UPSs. I’m on my 3rd year with them, and I will never go back to lead acid. I’ve got one “classic” UPS that is still in good shape as long as you don’t try to run more than 100w from it, but when it goes, it goes.

These use the LiFePO4 batteries, and I get close to twice the runtime as my old ones, and they don’t drop from 80% to 10% like lead acids do. The battery chemistry is also good for about 10 years of daily cycling, so assuming the electronics hold out, they seem like they’ll last.

The only hiccup with the model I got is it doesn’t have a serial monitor connection, but you can probably fine plenty that have it.

Also nice pun!

Took me a smidge more than a second, but I finally got it. Well played, OP.

Peak lemmy right here. "No good news goes uncriticized. "

Nope.

We live in a society, and as far as I’m concerned, stealing the person behind you’s very limited leg room is selfish.

Mine’s a nice stovetop kettle but it’s on an induction hot plate near my coffee maker. Works pretty similar to electric kettles that have the detachable bases, but I can use it on the stove if I want or use the hot plate for other things. The temperature controls on the hot plate also work really well for heating water to just under a boil.

I bought the induction hot plate to use when the power went out since I didn’t have 220v to run my stovetop, so this is how I make use of it so it’s not sitting on a shelf until the power goes out lol.

They’re all the same size, I think 8 inch? So big pans are hotter in the middle, and the outer 2-3 inches are noticeable cooler and never boil … gimme a full size induction coil

Oof, yeah that’d be a dealbreaker for me, too, with any cooktop.

given that its like 6 grand or something

Yikes. They didn’t come with an oven and cooktop attached, but I just spent 5 grand on a pair of 48v 16 KWh batteries (32 KWh total), so I guess I’ll just keep planning to use those to power my current range haha.

I was looking at that stove a while back but didn’t see any pricing at the time. Definitely interested since it could charge up and work separately from my main PV and not dip into its battery or draw a lot of current from it. I also like that it only needs 120v and gives you 220v performance because it makes up the difference from the battery.

Guessing it’s going to be a tad on the expensive side, lol.

Yeah, that was new to me when I read the Wikipedia page. I only knew her as a character actress from guest appearances on so many shows from the 90s and 2000s.

I’ve only seen it in a you’re selling yourself short fashion.

Yeah, that’s usually how I see it, or maybe just how I’ve always interpreted it.

A question can be a shower thought, especially if it’s a rhetorical question.

Not to mention, the Philosophical Raptor meme format is pretty much just interrogative shower thoughts

I also keep my grounds in a Mason jar.

Usually I go for ease of ingesting caffeine as quickly as possible and use a generic single-cup coffee maker.

1. Fill the reusable k-cup with grounds and put it into the coffee maker
2. Fill the coffee cup with water and pour into the tank
3. Place cup and press the power button
4. Take the dogs outside while it’s running
5. Add a splash of sweetener and/or vanilla syrup
6. Enjoy

Obviously, I’m not fancy about it at all. When I do get fancy, I’ll use the French press. Sometimes I’ll cold brew in the French press overnight but I always forget so that’s a rare treat when I do remember.
