It wouldn't surprise me if it's still competitive for a lot of markets, and if it's not it's because cable has been lowering prices to become competitive. Everyone I know 15 years ago was paying $300 once you added up TV, Internet, and cell phone bills. Accounting for inflation, that's $450 today. I heard my grandma was being ripped for $350 a couple of years ago, and she just wanted a single channel. Hard to find anyone under an age that even has TV service, and those that do just want it for sports. At the original price of YT TV it was cheap enough to say why not, at the current price, even if it's cheaper than cable, it's now twice as much as I'd ever want to pay for it.

Fuck LG, not like they made good BR players. I've sworn to avoid buying their shit since they discontinued support for a BR player within a year of release, which back then meant you wouldn't be able to watch any BR movie released after a certain date due to new DRM or whatever. They just up and decided to not release new firmware for units still under warranty.
I've never had trouble staying engaged with something I actually like and want to do. I will fall asleep if I don't have my narcolepsy meds and I'm trying to do something I'm not truly interested in, yet can binge watch something I'm truly hooked on, into the wee hours, even without the meds.
My advice, start paying more attention to the things you are interested in and stop trying to be interested in things once you realize it. There's no such thing as superiority of any entertainment or hobby over another, yet so many people shit all over themselves because they get it in their head that their interests are somehow wrong. Not liking something that everyone else does is fine, liking something no one else does is fine. Strive to be you, if you can't focus on any movies you're probably not watching movies you're interested in. Maybe you aren't interested in any movies at all, plenty of people just don't get poems, paintings, music, literature, beer, wine, shoe culture, car culture...
Neurotypicals have the ability to be at peace with being bored, so much so that it's called a disorder when someone can't sit still and suck it up when the shit being served is just not interesting (to them). You literally have to smoke weed to attain that same level of apathy.
That's a nice analogy. If the world was sane and just, those in power would quickly get their shit in order now that they've been reminded what the 2nd amendment was actually meant for. Doesn't matter if it's king, president, or CEO, people in power over Americans are meant to respect the threat of violence.
Hate the right and the NRA skewing it for stupid individual self defense reasons just as much as the Democrats trying to claim it has something to do with militias.
That's great, probably better for life happiness to just not look very closely, and ignore research like this. I doubt anyone is getting sick, even if it is certainly spraying stuff around.
Also, how is their research any worse than the one sponsored by Dyson, who is trying to sell overpriced hand dryers.
Anyone who has ever seen one of these more than a few weeks old knows how disgusting they get because cleaning crews were never trained to clean them. I'm assuming that isn't considered in Dyson's version of the research at all. There's one in a bathroom in my area that is covered in mold.
Pretty impressive, I took a picture of a kids toy and it generated a passable model. I recall seeing something that would also automatically rig humanoid models, and another that would animate rigged models per a prompt (might have been Disney). Seems like we're not that far away from being able to take a picture of something and have an animation produced. I did a cursory search and didn't find anything, but I wouldn't be shocked if that's not already a thing you can do by stringing publicly available models together.
Are you comparing raw dollars or percentage of property tax? Accounting for inflation and the increase of your property value? What about the whole situation where Texas collects the taxes but only disburses up to some amount to schools. Probably easier to just look at the ISD financials. Just need to remove all expenses for non education activities, like sports and administration. I wonder if the ISD funding also gets used to pay for ISD specific police. Just asking questions, without actually doing the work, betting teachers have lost way more than 30% in 5 years. Texas government is actively trying to prove that public education doesn't work so they can justify privatization, and bring back legal segregation plus religious schooling funded by taxes.
Don't discount the amount of common people that are totally onboard with killing everyone in another tribe. There have been plenty of times when leaders are the only reason diplomacy happens in the face of a bloodthirsty population, though certainly more common that war happens because leaders channel the energy of that bloodthirst as it is easier and the benefits (to themselves first, their tribe second) are thought to outweigh the risks. Look through history and you'll see enough instances of leaders trying to keep the peace only to be killed by their bloodthirsty population and replaced by someone who will act.
I wish we could all just get along, but so far the only effective deterrent in all of history has been the threat of destruction, either by a sufficiently powerful peace mongering leader, or MAD that nuclear weapons established. I suspect the next change in this dynamic, if MAD holds true, is some real AI that takes the reigns. It would be hard to rule break if we had an omniscient leader that could kill you within seconds.
Totally different situation regarding admins. One was a community they built, this is a foreign land they stuck a flag down and declared theirs, and abandoned it.
Not sure if it's actually feasible today, but in the future when all the Internet routing and consumer devices are compliant, something something ipv6 has enough address space for every device many times over to have a unique address. I'm guessing there's still too many links in the chain that won't be setup for ipv6 to work, but it's worth your research.
Probably more realistic to work out the complication you're concerned about with reverse proxy and a VPS + VPN.
Same folks will be like, x issued more orders than any other president, but also excitedly talking about record revenue, turnout, etc. As if the stuff they agree with grows in a vacuum away from the stuff they disagree with.
