I run a Piehole and don’t see any of the ads on my Fire TVs.

It’s that or because I’m still running the old gen2 firetv box that’s way out of OS support…

I thought you were joking. Then I read the article. Crazy!

Synology makes great 1-4 bay NAS. Lots of documentation, fairly easy setup and one click installs of applications. The consumer grade ones are fairly inexpensive and work just as well.

I use Kod instead of Plex i on my devices and have it just night the NAS in the app. I signed the Kodi db to be in the NAS so all my devices track what I’ve already watched and progress of currently watching. It works great.

Get a UPS to protect your data in case of power outage. One that you can hook USB to a PC/NAS so it can tell the PC to shut down properly. A very common feature.

For being 15 years old and an April Fool’s joke, that was pretty good.

Are you me? I had the same thoughts. For others like us, here you go: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kurononeko

Did you miss the bit about 11 years of school to get to that point (and the debt that will come with that)?

Worth it!

Odd. I just did it and it worked for me.

If you get a message urging you to deposit a check and wire money back, it’s a scam. Every time. No matter the story. And if this were a legitimate car wrap opportunity, wouldn’t the company directly pay the car-wrapping vendor, instead of asking you to do it?

The FTC didnt beat around the bush on that one.

I did not believe you, but you were not wrong…

The free ones are “OrangeRed” (the pixelated one), “Doge,” and “Wall Street,

Thanks for the link!

About 10 years ago I needed a new can opener. I also bought the EZ-Duz-It from Walmart, it was like $9 at the time, double the cost of the other one available. Totally worth it, and I still have it. The only way I see this thing breaking is if I start using it to loosen rusted bolts on the car while changing out the brakes.

That’s been a good one for me too. I have been running the Dell D6000 for over 4 years now for work, no issues. Every port but the 3.5 and one of the USB-Cs being utilized daily.

Is this thing really for sale?..

And here I was thinking my 360+ hours in BoTW was excessive…

Getting there:

In preclinical trials, participants received a dental lozenge the size of a cough drop, with a core of calcium and phosphate coated in a layer of peptide-infused flavoring.

Not yet:

Further research is needed to investigate the permeability and chemical stability of the mineral layer to achieve an effective, easy-to-apply treatment for dentin hypersensitivity, including implementing the peptide-guided approach under in vivo conditions.

I always thought Fat is satieting. In other’s uou may get the opposite effect of becoming round from consuming it.

Not OP, but… I took a pay cut years ago not as dramatic of a cut about 104k to 72k. I no longer had to drive to work but took a bus so I saved 90 miles (145 km) a day in driving. So I had a big savings on gas, and car, and with the time savings I could switch my kid to a regular daycare because I no longer needed extended hours. I had more free time to cook all of our meals so I had a big savings on food versus take out all the time. I also had the time to do work on my house versus hiring out. I cut back on vacation budgets but we had time to get out of the house and play at the parks and trails nearby every day. All and all a cut in income but a big increase in enjoyment in life. For savings I was able to save about the same between the two jobs.

It was the Wheel Of Time series that got me to get an e-reader, those books where massive tomes and a PITA to carry around. I’ve stuck with an e-reader since, easy on size, weight, and the eyes. I got a Kindle Paperwhite for the back lightning like a decade ago or when ever it came out and use Calibre to manage the books on it.
