Logarithms…

Inner earth and outer earth.

Theme?

The original still exists, a remake for modern times doesn’t delete the first one.

I think if it’s done right, FP would be a perfect movie for a remake.

The original is pretty good, and has decent special effects, but it’s certainly a product of its time.

The overt sexism and racism is pretty obnoxious. As long as the remake keeps the story mostly the same, but just cleans it up a bit, ESPECIALLY if they stick with the retro-futuristic style.

The transporter wouldn’t be able to disassemble the one ring. In universe, my assumption is that they wouldn’t even be able to get a sensor lock on it.

Probably couldn’t transport anyone carrying the ring either.

I hope they have a good use for it. I’d love to see them utilize the name to try to de-radicalize folks.

The Onion seems to have gotten a new life after they were bought, so maybe they’ll go the Cards Against Humanity route and start to push things in a better direction.

Pritzker has been very outspoken about defying national orders, and even protecting the vulnerable in other states.

I’m not surprised he’s leading the charge.

I thought he was going to be another shit governor in a long line of shitty Illinois governors, but this guy is knocking it out of the park.

The supreme court has no ability to enforce their decisions. The states can and have ignored their orders in the past.

If an order comes back that’s blatant enough, there will be pushback.

The states control the elections, enough of them could literally just refuse to put him on the ballot.

Yup, sometime in the next year or two I’ll get laid off, then I’ll just mooch off my spouse.

That’s amazing! I love to see it.

It’s great when you can figure out a solution that fits so well onto someone’s ability level.

I bet it wouldn’t take much for someone to duplicate this work given the level of detail provided.

FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.

The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.

Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

Assuming he’s only actually married to one person, it’s just adultery, which is mostly legal.

Of course, that assumes everyone is there consensually, and is free to leave whenever.

Also, not all races are contested by both Democrats and Republicans. Sometimes the third party is the only one running for a position, sometimes it’s just one third party vs the Republican.

Local races are significantly different.

Because no matter how prepared I think I am, there’s always at least one item on the ballot I didn’t expect to see.

I can sit down at my computer and look up everything on my ballot and make better informed decisions in the comfort of my home. I can lean over and ask my spouses opinion on what they’re voting for and we can decide what we want to do. In the end we each make our own decision, but at least we can discuss it.

I have a QR code on my envelope that shows that I can track my ballot from end to end and ensure that it’s where it is supposed to be. If it never arrives, I can go vote in person and have a provisional ballot to ensure I didn’t vote twice.

Which is customized for every patient, so it currently costs $500,000 and isn’t FDA approved for wide use, AND it is only available inside the US in a limited number of facilities.

Still, it’s very promising, and if it holds up, it’ll eventually be more widespread. At the end of the article it says they’re working on a more generalized approach that could lower the cost and increase availability.
