Sen. Joe Manchin leaves the Democratic Party and registers as independent
  • He said one of the deciding factors was "Biden's radical climate agenda." Oh, well! Good riddance. The world needs a radical climate agenda in my opinion and if you're not going to be part of the solution, then you're either contributing to the problem or standing in the way.

  • McDonald's: $18 Big Mac was 'exception'
  • Exactly. I guess at this point, I'm ok with some certain datapoints being collected. Mostly what they'll get from me is that I occasionally like a Sausage Egg McMuffin on my way to work. lol

  • McDonald's: $18 Big Mac was 'exception'
  • I never go to McDonalds without using a code from the app. $2 breakfast sandwich? Cool. 20% off entire order? Cool. It's gotten to the point that using the app is necessary to get reasonably priced food. Without it, you're overpaying.

  • Get rid of landlords...
  • Exactly. There are always going to be people who take advantage of others for their own personal gain. It doesn't mean that everyone who owns property and rents it out is an evil scum bag.

  • I always think of the words from Millencolin's song No Cigar.

    Cause I don't care where I belong no more

    What we share or not I will ignore

    And I won't waste my time fitting in

    'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin

  • ABC4.com: Students walk out of Utah middle school to protest 'furries'
  • In high school I hung out with all the punks and skaters. A lot of them would wear the studded jackets with patches and stuff. I didn't usually dress the part but I love punk music and I love the skate culture so I felt like I fit in there. We didn't care what anyone else thought or said to us. Social media and cell phones also weren't really a thing. Bullying is different now because of that and it's a real problem in many places. I'm sorry you had to take your daughter out of that school. I hope she knows there are people like her, who like the same kinds of music or the same kinds of clothes and that she's not a freak or a weirdo. School can be tough. Even as an adult people make jokes sometimes about the music I listen too, but you know what? I still don't care! lol

  • AI meme version 2.0... because reasons

    Apparently my other meme with nearly a 1,000 upvotes was reported and removed by mods for a rule violation. But just to clarify, the people in that photo were ACTORS posing for stock photography. No elderly people were actually being force fed while a photographer snapped shots and uploaded them to Adobe. Anyway, enjoy the happy baby! (Disclaimer: This baby may or may not be aware that it is being photographed while eating. This is not my baby, that is not my hand, and I did not take this photo.)

    Time for your medicine grandpa
  • They're the worst. Now they're actually putting features into vehicles but don't activate them unless you pay more. You already own the car with the feature existing inside of it but can't use it. What kind of bullshit is that!

  • Notification sounds while connected to bluetooth

    Every 6 months or so I go looking for a solution to this problem and still haven't found one.

    When my phone (Pixel 7) is connected to my car by bluetooth, the phone itself will not make any notification sounds. It is attempting to send all notification sounds to the car. The problem is, if I am currently not listening to any media and the head unit is off, I will not hear anything at all. The only possible way to hear it, is to have the head unit on and set to bluetooth input whether or not I'm listening to anything. This was not always the case. I think it changed after Android 13 was released but I'm not 100% sure.

    Space Shuttle Discovery at the Udvar-Hazy Center

    I had been wanting to see the Space Shuttle Discovery for quite some time. I only live about 3 hours from the Udvar-Hazy Center in Washington D.C. This past weekend I finally got the chance and it was glorious! If you don't know, this was the shuttle that carried the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit.

    Merge notification and ringtone volume again on Android 14

    Is there a way to merge the ringtone volume and notification volume so they work in conjunction like they did before the A14 update? I understand that some people like them separate, I just prefer it the other way and I wish it was optional. I haven't found anything in the settings so far.

    Lock screen clock size got smaller (SOLVED)

    This morning I woke up to the clock on my Pixel 7 lock screen being smaller than normal. I don't recall changing anything and I could not find a setting to adjust the size. The clock on my wife's and my son's Pixel 7's are both normal. Anybody know what would cause that? I've already tried restarting it as well as disabling and enabling the double-line clock setting.

    Need advice on Jellyfin setup

    I'm kind of a noob at this so I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. Most of my experience is centered around using public trackers and qbitorrent with a VPN on my laptop and Android phone (using flud).

    I would like to get started using Jellyfin to serve up media in my house and occasionally remotely with my phone. I have an older HP desktop that was formerly a business PC. I am currently resetting it back to a fresh install (probably Windows 10). I was thinking of putting Jellyfin on there and setting up Tailscale. I have already tested setting this up on a different computer just to learn the setup process and I got it working and was able to remote connect with my phone. I have Cox cable internet and I'm using their provided modem/wifi gateway so I probably don't have many options for customizing that other than port-forwarding. I also don't really need to set up any automation to download media automatically at this time. I basically want to be able to download movies the way I currently do and put them on the Jellyfin machine. What else do I need to know/do? What am I missing? and will I be able to just pull up Jellfin on my phone and cast media to my smart TV's (they do not have Roku btw)?

    Saw this in a parking lot today. I feel bad for the bee but that's pretty mildly interesting.

    My emojis started spinning in Google Messages beta today

    I guess GIFs aren't supported but starting today, when I send an emoji in Google Messages (beta) it continuously spins around and bounces. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

    EDIT: Looks like there is a website that details all the animations. https://googlefonts.github.io/noto-emoji-animation/
