Good for him, Kevin is one of my favorite people.

I enabled deArrow in my Smarttube installation, and it gave me the title as something like "Dry your dessicant before you use it."

Surprise! Every time someone meets some consequences for their actions (Sydney Powell, Rudy Guliani, etc.) he says he was right.

Check out Nick Carmody on Twitter and Patreon. Psychologist or Psychiatrist, not sure which. He's been analyzing the situation for years. Very insightful.

Whenever this guy's name pops up, I remember Courtney Love, on the red carpet for something, was asked her advice to young actresses. She responded something like "don't be alone in a room with Harvey Weinstein." She had an extremely promising acting career, but dropped off the face of the earth after that remark.
Fuck Harvey Weinstein.

They probably meant in line, like at Kmart or whatever other stores were still open then.

No tag limit? That's too far. I think the limit should be..say...30 to 50 feral hogs.

The Thing (John Carpenter, 1982). Not gory, so much as gooey.
The Babadook.
The Mist. Based on a book by Steven King. King admits the movie ending is better than his own.
10 Cloverfield Lane. It's standalone, don't worry if you haven't seen Cloverfield
Annihilation. The bear freaks me out.
Event Horizon. Sci-Fi/Horror
Original Ghostbusters from 1984.
Gremlins
No One Will Save You. The ending is weird, but the suspense is top-notch.
The 'Burbs. Classic Tom Hanks comedy.
Tremors.
What We Do in the Shadows

Those lighthouses are so far apart that you might not see them. And I know at least one lighthouse on this map isn't functional.

One incidental purpose of the Interstate Highway System is as emergency landing strips. But a VTOL craft should be able to make use of even the roughest roadways in the event of an emergency. Activate your hazards to alert the craft and any surrounding drivers of extraordinary circumstances.
Be prepared to render aid as necessary.

Just watched Hundreds of Beavers. I wasn't expecting much, and it actually made me laugh out loud a couple times.

It's a thought experiment on infinity. If you have a hotel with infinite rooms, and an infinite number of guests, can you fit another guest? You can't just put them in any random room, because that room already has a guest. But if you shift all the existing guests to the next room in line (guest 1 to room 2, guest 2 to room 3, etc.) all the way to infinity, now you have an empty room 1.
If a bus with an infinite number of passengers shows up, you can fit them too. Guest 1 goes to room 2, guest 2 to room 4, guest 3 to room 6, etc. Now you have an infinite number of empty rooms.
I've seen a lot of official MST3K (*Mystery Science Theater 3000*, ya boob) getting streamed on Youtube. I have a lot of these already from quite a while ago, sourced from various places. Some from my own DVD rips (thanks Netflix), downloaded DVD rips, and a small amount of "lost" content coming from VHS rips off broadcast. Are the Youtube streams worth archiving? I was specifically looking at a livestream for Season 1 that "includes lost host segments". I was going to download it through Newpipe, but I didn't see the option on this stream (granted, I didn't look too deeply). Are these streams worth the time if I already have the episodes? Have they been cleaned-up in any way?
This goes into effect September 4, 2024. Employers with existing non-compete agreements must post the notice on page 163 (38504). After that date you may accept a job offer from anybody, including a direct competitor, and not worry about violating any non-compete agreement.
I recently bought this motherboard, based on descriptions on pcpartpicker.com and [B&H's website](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1764872-REG/msi_b760_gaming_plus_wifi.html). Both sites claim the board has 5 PCIe x16 slots (2x version 4, and 3x version 3). But I have the board in front of me, and while it certainly has full length *slots*, most of the pins are missing in all but one of them. Closer examination of the [MSI website](https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B760-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI/Specification) has this to say: * 5x PCI-E x16 slot * PCI_E1 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x16 (From CPU) * PCI_E2 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset) * PCI_E3 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset) * PCI_E4 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset) * PCI_E5 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset) Have I been swindled? Am I just stupid or ignorant?
[From my previous comment](https://midwest.social/comment/4975539), it looks like NHTSA is moving faster than I predicted. We're now at step 1, with this *Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking*. (edit: I jumped the gun, we're still at step '0' on my original list) Most of this notice seems to be a report on why 'impaired driving' is bad. I see alcohol, cannabis, mobile phone use, drowsiness...etc. >Due to technology immaturity and a lack of testing protocols, drugged driving is not being considered in this advance notice of proposed rulemaking. Makes sense. >There is no clear and consistent engineering or industry definition of ‘‘impairment.’’ Yep, another unclear request by Congress. >NHTSA believes that Congress did not intend to limit NHTSA’s efforts under BIL to alcohol impairment. Okay, that's fair. >Camera-based-systems, however, are increasingly feasible and common in vehicles. Uh-oh... >The Safety Act also contains a ‘‘make inoperative’’ provision, which prohibits certain entities from knowingly modifying or deactivating any part of a device or element of design installed in or on a motor vehicle in compliance with an applicable FMVSS. Those entities include vehicle manufacturers, distributors, dealers, rental companies, and repair businesses. Notably, the make inoperative prohibition does not apply to individual vehicle owners. While NHTSA encourages individual vehicle owners not to degrade the safety of their vehicles or equipment by removing, modifying, or deactivating a safety system, the Safety Act does not prohibit them from doing so. This creates a potential source of issues for solutions that lack consumer acceptance, since individual owners would not be prohibited by Federal law from removing or modifying those systems (i.e., using defeat mechanisms). Note that "make inoperative" does not apply to a "kill switch" in this case. NHTSA uses the term to mean "disabling required safety devices". For example, as an individual vehicle owner, it's perfectly legal for you to remove the seatbelts from your car, despite Federal requirements. But it's illegal for the entities listed above to do it. (This example doesn't extend to state regulations. It's legal for you to remove your seatbelts, but may still be illegal to drive a car without them.) There's a short 'discussion' here regarding how to *passively* detect impaired driving, noting the difficulties of creating such a system. Followed by a note that basically says if they can't do it within 10 years, NHTSA can give up and not do it, as stated in the Infrastructure law. There's a long section on how to detect various types of impairment, current methods of preventing impaired driving, etc. An interesting section about detecting blood-alcohol level using infrared sensors embedded in the steering wheel. Body posture sensors can be used to detect driver distraction. This is followed by a brief overview of the technologies NHTSA is considering: >*Camera-Based Driver Monitoring Sensors* >*Hands-On-Wheel Sensors* >*Lane Departure and Steering Sensors* >*Speed/Braking Sensors* >*Time-Based Sensors* >*Physiological Sensors* On page 850 (21 of the PDF), NHTSA asks for feedback to several questions. There are a few pages of relevant issues, so I won't cover them here. If you wish, you can go [here](https://www.regulations.gov/document/NHTSA-2022-0079-0015) to leave a comment. Please don't leave irrelevant garbage like "I oppose this on the grounds of my Constitutional rights..." While applicable in this situation, it's irrelevant to NHTSA, and commenting like that will just waste everybody's time. There's a section on page 855 (26 of the PDF) about Privacy and Security. That's that. Let me know I can answer any of your questions. I'll try to come back to this post throughout the day and see what's happening. But, I do not work for NHTSA, so can't remark on agency thought process.
I'm trying to finish grabbing a show, but Sonarr says the final season is #3, while the rest of the internet (i.e. torrent sites) says that season is #5. It looks like the first 2 seasons were split up into 1/2 seasons when originally shown. So while Sonarr is looking for Season 3, it's finding the first half of what it thinks is Season 2.
