7·5 days agoI can’t replicate on iOS, but it could be my pihole that’s blocking it.
Opinions vary, but this is the good kind of snow IMO. It’s light and fluffy, not wet and heavy. You can easily walk through 2 feet of it, and it brushes off the car easily. Doesn’t clog up the snowblower, either. Downside: no snowballs, they just disintegrate.
Having to clear it does suck at times, but I’m just visiting so it’s quite nice to experience. I miss it.
Central or western NY would be closest to CT if you want proper lake effect snow. You need to be near a Great Lake. There’s only a few areas in the country that get snow like this.
Cold, dry Canadian air goes over warm, humid lake surface and gets moisturized. Once it’s over land the moisture is forced out.

3·8 days agoWhat the fuck is up with the beer laws there? I had to stop overnight due to car troubles and I had to walk for like 2 miles to find a gas station to get a six pack. I saw a walk in soda cooler at Sheetz.

6·9 days agoWho else would they be able to trust outside of the western world? China? I don’t disagree that the US should have honored their original agreement for nuclear disarmament, but Ukraine is between a rock and a hard place right now.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Lost in the Sauce EtymologyEnglish
14·9 days agoFirst off, all hail boognish. Ween rules.
That said I think it’s related to cooking. I used Google Ngram to search for it and found a “lost in the sauce” reference in an 1896 cookbook.
Not the colloquial usage, but the earliest usage I could find.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•most universally acceptable video file formats?English
3·1 month agoI don’t disagree with anything you said; but my point still stands. It’s nearly universally supported these days, even on cheap ass TVs.
For windows users I either point them to Plex so they can hop on my server, MPC-HC (from Klite codec pack), or VLC. In OPs case I’d just include VLC along with the video files.
My Plex users use a multitude of shitty TVs and old consoles, and they report no issues back to me. It’s not the same compatibility situation as it was years ago.

122·1 month agoI’ve found x265 is pretty universally supported in 2025. I’ve switched all of my downloads for Plex over to 265 and none of my users have reported issues. My users are not particularly tech savvy and have a ton of diversity in their devices from cheap ass smart TVs, to consoles, to various mobile devices and computers.
I think it’s fairly safe to start getting everything in 265 and the space savings is significant. Very easy to get 4K HDR rips that look great for only 5-7 GB. HD rips can easily be 1-2 GB.
Include VLC if you need a player, but again I’ve found nearly everything plays 265 these days. It’s not nearly the compatibility issue it was years ago.
MP4 container, 265 video (w/ HDR10 layer if appropriate), Dolby digital audio (w/ Atmos track if appropriate) is what I usually look for these days for a balance of compatibility and quality.

1·1 month agoYes, carcinogenic. Not “just as” carcinogenic.
I am a biochemist. These are not big words to me. I actually read the findings section, not only the abstract.

Ever wonder how many wars got started because of an embarrassed little man of a tyrant? Unfortunately we’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes, I suppose we’re only human. All this fancy high tech bullshit changed everything but also didn’t change a thing.

Yeah, I did. Did ya consider there’s more than just Apple who are collecting this data?
PS: each company has a different suffix, so you’re going to need to add a few more suffixes for them to even consider voluntarily not collecting that data.
