If it’s OU, ‘no college’ is better.

I don’t know if it’s ever been tested but I’m sure Castle Doctrine is completely nullified when law enforcement is involved.

Not common I’m sure, but I once had an answer I posted completely rewritten for grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. I felt so valued. /s

The heavy use of slow motion kind of ruined it for me a little bit. If it was symbolic in some way my unsophisticated brain didn’t get it.

I probably got a lemon but regardless my XPS (~3 years old) is the worst computer I’ve ever owned. Touchy WiFi, battery that goes from 30 to 3℅ in a matter of seconds, randomly doesn’t detect the keyboard, randomly freezes, randomly doesn’t acknowledge it’s plugged in. Some days I just put it in timeout and use my 10yo netbook instead.

Dredd. The movie was only so-so but it was a really good setup for a sequel. Karl Urban also knocked it out of the park. The Stallone version was good for what it was but it didn’t really feel like Judge Dredd.

For pure energy efficiency it’s hard to beat an SBC (raspi, rockpi). Mine does a good job with Jellyfin streaming so long as I avoid transcoding.

Not the worst idea (the phone) but that is an extra device to keep track of. I would also get in trouble for plugging a phone (or some kind of drive) into my work computer so that means another cable run from an outlet…

I’m not able to install most apps without prior approval but if there’s a website I can directly play from that could work. Would be preferable if I didn’t have to login to use it but it’s probably not a deal breaker. Big names like Spotify are a no-go mainly because they suck ass.

“Fuck you mom!”

Then walk out and never speak to her again.

Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger. It just pummels your tastebuds with fat and I like it.

They didn’t explicitly say but it sounds like the JPEG solution can’t put out a substantial FPS. If you start to do fancier stuff like sending partial screenshots or deltas only then you get the same issues as H264 (you miss a keyframe and things start to degrade). Also if you try and put out 30 JPEGs per second you could start to get TCP queuing (i.e. can’t see screenshot 31 until screenshot 30 is complete). UDP might have made this into a full replacement but as they said sometimes it’s blocked.

Also your reputation. I had a Crucial SSD and was days from getting an identical one as a backup but then they said they were stopping consumer RAM sales so they’re now on my blacklist.

If you live in a region that snows seasonally then I’d say knitting. It can be a very therapeutic activity and when my wife wears her own knits she’s never cold. Knitted gear can also make great gifts and if you’re good enough it can earn some money on Etsy.

This is definitely a thing.

Big penises being more manly or making you a better lover. I’m sure wars have been started by men who were upset with their dick size and would do anything to make up for it.

Ditto. One of the biggest gripes I have with my servers is the fat UPS I have to keep next to them.

Or extortion. He makes a stink, they make some campaign donations, and he backs off or gives them a slap on the wrist.

Of course it is, because nobody is willing to try and quantify or qualify the harms that seeing pornography has on a young person. It’s just “adult content” so we’ll go so far as to put VR headsets on everyone and ask them to verify their age or else they get a PG, low-polygon representation of reality!

Not the answer OP expected but the correct one. Doing strictly nonwork things at work can get you noticed in a bad way. I’ve had good and bad IT jobs and it’s really amazing how a bad job can drive bad behaviors and a good job do the opposite.
