The Fall Out Boy remix of Hand Crushed By A Mallet by 100 Gecs (https://spotify.link/Vtwt9T0DhDb) is absolutely fantastic, a brilliant pop punk cover right up until the end when it's just melted into absolute fucking noise. I get it, it's Gecs. But just let it be a good cover - please.
Looks like they did get the message with their most recent album as it's a lot more listenable.
Just wanted to jump in here - I ended up doing as the commenter below me has said and bought a 20TB external hard drive. Well worth doing imo. I'm going to keep all of my important media that I want to save on the 5TB as a backup.
I live in the UK and I drive an Astra. It's a four door hatchback style car from the late 00s, I bought it used and still runs fine even if it's getting on a bit. I know it won't last forever, so I'll probably buy another used car.
Right now, it seems like every new car for sale is a SUV - maybe a crossover which is more moderately sized, but basically an SUV. Buying a new car like my Astra feels niche, I don't think I have ever seen one at a dealership in the last 5 years.
What's going to happen to all of these SUVs in 5-10 years? The used market is going to be filthy with them and people are going to buy and drive them because they'll be cheap - regardless of the fact they are unsafe, costly to run and damaging to road infrastructure. I don't think we will see any car other than a SUV style car, or a van, on the roads in 5 years.
Does this not terrify anybody else? Something has to change here - either a shift to micro mobility scooters and e bikes or a massive increase in transit investment - or we are headed towards an even bigger disaster. Anybody else feel this way?
There's a great deal on a drive from Amazon Warehouse, but I'm a bit concerned about the quality of the drive and the fact I can't return it.
Anybody have any experience buying something like this?
Sometimes I feel like I'm part of the minority who actually enjoyed Enterprise. Sure, there were some stinkers but the world was incredibly interesting and in Series 3 / 4 I really felt like it scratched that Trek lore itch for me.
If Enterprise was to be rebooted for a series 5, perhaps on Paramount+ or another streaming service, what would it look like? I don't think Jolene Blalock would come back but I'm sure Scott Bakula could be convinced as well as most of the other actors.
I would really hope they keep the early 2000s aesthetic of the NX-01 and all of the retro low-tech gear, perhaps show a gradual transition into the aesthetic of Strange New Worlds. You could mix in some time shenanigans to explain why things look different than they did in TOS and make some fun callbacks, like In A Mirror Darkly.
There's a lot of room to move before the series finale happens - or you could just retcon it and present it as a deep cover-up. So many opportunities! I want to hear this community's opinions!
Listen to this episode from The War on Cars on Spotify. You may know the actor Nick Offerman as the gruff city parks director Ron Swanson on the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation or from his turn as the survivalist Bill on the HBO series The Last of Us, but he also has a lot to say about how people ge...
I haven't listened to this podcast before but got interested when Spotify recommended it to me. Nick Offerman is an avid cyclist and has a lot of things to say about the benefits of walking and cycling and how we can better connect the city with the natural environment. Was a really interesting listen - I felt this community might enjoy!
Hi all. I currently have a SFF pc (HP Optiplex-like but smaller) running Plex and some other software. Happy with my software setup for the time being.
However - I'm stuck with what to do next on the storage front. I have a 5TB external HDD that's plugged into the little PC and that's basically what I use for all of my storage. This isn't enough (running out of space) and also doesn't feel very versatile.
Where to from here? I don't know whether to go the RAID route and buy an enclosure that supports it, or just get a bunch of drives and chain them together. A Synology NAS seems way too expensive. What should I do?
I'd probably bet that the people that have filtered through to Lemmy probably already have their own data storage already sorted - you've got less "casuals" as it were. I use Google Drive myself, trying to figure out an alternative.
Quite excited about this! I know we have a few posts on this community already dissecting the trailer but I always enjoy Egg's take on things.
I think I'm most excited for the deeper simulation control - and seasons!
Is there a Cities Skylines community out there? I'm a big fan of the game and with CS2 coming out I'd love to chat with others about it.
Cookie clicker anyone? I play it on both android and PC. Wish Android had more features!
