I do love German humor

I offered to do the same and was literally scoffed at, then reprimanded for my audacity. It was a really fucking shitty experience.

While true, it definitely depends on your particular TSA team. I have flown multiple times with firearms within the US, and normally TSA follows their own rules pretty well. However, I have had TSA DEMAND my key so they could open the case outside of my presence. When I protested and gave them the handout of their own procedures, the guy said “you can give me the key, or you don’t get on your flight.”

You keep at it, buddy

I’m glad you have luck with govee lights. The controllers on the strips I have need to be reconnected to wifi 2-3x a week. They’re a total pain for me.

I have a bunch of stuff in my Amazon cart ready to convert the strips to wled. Very much looking forward to bot having to deal with them anymore

It’s “orange” and “oil”

Make sure the version of your torrent client is on the tracker’s whitelist

California. The internet contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

I’m pretty boring

HTPC (a vestige from when I used it as such, but now it’s basically a Plex server and torrent box)

BIGNAS

HUGENAS

(My name)LAPTOP

This how the cheese wants to broken

Calibre has a server component too, so you can access the files locally via a web address

Noted!

I appreciate your response. I have been on ptp for probably 13 years or more. I definitely haven’t kept the invite email that long. I got into uhdb through btn earlier this week, so maybe I’ll be alright?

Well, I guess here’s where I find out how dumb I am for not taking screenshots of my ptp stats every so often

I also advocate for the enlightened position of “murder people in bigger cars than me”

Don’t forget about the stories or whatever. Those are equally shitty

JBOD?

You’re a brave soul. Best of luck to you

That’s a good perspective. Thank you for that. I’ll try to look at it like a farmer’s market from now on

It seems to me like there are 5 places the grocery store has tomatoes and and you need to check all 5 places before you know which place you should buy from. Then, maybe next time you’re at the grocery store, a different spot will have the better tomatoes and there are also 3 other new tomato stands in the store.

I’m definitely grateful for lemmy or kbin or mastodon or wherever the fuck I am right now as a reddit replacement, but this shit is confusing and annoying
