One of my issues with the video is that Trump is “aligned” with everyone and keeps saying that Ukraine has to make concessions while he never says Russia will. In the last press meeting he even hinted that it will be difficult to have Putin give back occupied territories. I forget the exact words, but it was after the Elon part.

Maybe this will be a new point of evolution and our eye shapes will change in a new (not better) way were we see worse… Who knows… I don’t know what I’m talking about . ✌️

Yes, there are a lot of decaf roasting options, but only a few ways to process the beans. Did you watch the tasting event that just took place ? I think they did decaf this year.

Isn’t that what happened to the schools during COVID or something with one of the programs. I forget…

Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn’t sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I’ve been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.

It is above most publicly accepted ratios. This is the one that works best with the water and process I use. I used to do like 21 to 360 or something, but this works out nice.

This court case is why the US government needed to invest billions into AI. Cover the legal fees. /s

Made it as espresso. It definitely has a lot of crema. I’m still getting it dialed in. Tastes good, but I didn’t think my palette is refined enough to say it taste different from other medium roasts. With that said, I didn’t think I’ll be getting another bag.

Yeah, I’m going to espresso brew it tomorrow. I wasn’t thinking of an Americano, just a straight shot. I have that ninja machine that’s all the rage right now. It does the job. Will see.

I also noticed that the beans are shiny.

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.

They are likely waiting for the cartographers to finish their jobs… Unless they were asked to resign… Who knows how this government functions at this point.

Waiting for the presidential cars to be replaced with cyber trucks.

I think the plan is if your in the US the name will change. I think. Something about USA being classified as a sensitive nation when before names didn’t hurt us.

Backbone lost.

I qualify a good sequel as a movie that can be enjoyed without having to watch the previous. Not that the previous isn’t important, just not required.

Terminator 2 clearly fits into this category. As do a lot of sequels. Here is my short list:

• Terminator 2
• The Dark Knight
• Finding Dory
• Toy Story 2
• Spider Man 2 (Toby Maguire)

Do Casino Royal or Rogue One count for anyone?

You don’t have the fear of the Alien and the tension from Ripley without the first movie… in my view, but yes it is a totally didn’t feeling movie otherwise.

Sure you can convert the DVD to whatever codec, I have found the original mpeg stream to not be very compatible with my devices. When I did 264, it was more for speed. It’s a 480 p/I mpeg2 stream, I don’t think 265 is worth the extra CPU cycles for this case. This is also just an opinion. 👍

True about AC3 being left alone, but dts should be converted, I can’t seem to get that to bitstream as nice as Dolby tracks.

I do reencode my uhd rips, to bring them down to 1080. I only have one 4k display and it’s not worth the bandwidth to try and stream it for me.

Did you try Kodi? Also, I recommend reencoding your dvd rips to h264 with eAC3 audio.

👍

Bottles was having the same issue. I was attempting to install SimTower off the CD copy I have and they all were having issues running. I believe it’s a permissions issue that I could figure out, but not sure. After spending hours i went down the distro route and it worked perfectly the first time. Was able to run the installation for the game and launch it from wine.

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn’t search as hard as you I think.
