On the other hand, it’s not like we have 600lb bears charging around. Pretty much all kinds of attack by our land animals can be thwarted using the ancient & mysterious art of wearing enclosed shoes & pants.

In the startup I worked for, the HR lead was the CEO’s significant other. They had made fundamental contributions to the operations of the company since its inception and relatively humble beginnings. Once it had grown beyond a certain size, there wasn’t really any particular executive position within a logical company structure for them to fill. The individual departments were run by people more qualified in those areas. I think it made sense for the company to continuously recognize their contributions (and obviously the boss isn’t going to fire their partner), but HR ended up being mostly just a cushy job for them to fall into.

It was one of those companies that likes to say its “like a family”, but really there’s an in-crowd (i.e. the founding staff) and everyone else. I was part of the former, so I could be honest and open with them with regard to HR issues and be supported, and that was nice. But on the other hand, I witnessed HR actions related to incidents involving other staff that caused me cognitive dissonance, because it would’ve been handled differently if I were the staff member involved. More than anything else, because I had found myself in the right place at the right time. Because I was a part of the landed gentry, as it were. That’s fucking bullshit, and the experience made me realize that they weren’t actually different from other companies like I had thought.

Could do that, or sideload the APK from https://repo.jellyfin.org/files/client/androidtv/

Lineage OS doesn’t include google apps or services. Jellyfin works though.

Do you need an in-remote microphone? If not, I’d suggest a degoogled nvidia shield tv (i.e flash it with lineage OS or similar)

Yes, venom is poisonous. It is a subset of poisons that are injected via bites or stings.

Same, the last straw for me was the ‘white lives matter’ Yeezy fashion show.

Everyone is better off without game pass (though MS have had the capability to do it for a long time before they launched it, and that infrastructure was largely just going to waste). IMO it doesn’t change that the millions that show up to buy CoD every year will be direct marketed game pass as a way to get it for $20 instead of $70 and that will be highly successful

Game pass numbers stalled out because Microsoft stalled out on adding blockbuster games since Starfield, which was poorly received. Check the numbers once the new CoD, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., ARK, Indiana Jones all get added towards the end of the year. CoD in particular will likely show the reports about them reaching full saturation to be false

Hot, then once I’ve read everything switch to Active to check popular posts I missed, then back to Hot and there’s usually some new stuff

For herd immunity. Even endemic viruses can be eradicated if its spread is sufficiently restricted. Not everyone in a community needs to participate in being vaccinated for the community to achieve that. Perhaps your herd is already there (outside your family).

Besides, it’s an easy excuse to take a sick day.

Yeah probably not but it depends on how the virus changes over time. I read there is some early research potentially indicating that symptom severity is lower in the current wave than Omicron. If so and if that becomes a continuing trend that may impact the rate at which we vaccinate (or whether new vaccines need to be developed etc)

Technically that advice will somewhat depend on statistics about infections which haven’t occurred yet. At this stage the CDC advice is to get 1 dose of any of the 3 available vaccines if you haven’t already done so in the last 12 months (for people aged 12-65)

There has been, Netflix have done a handful of different Barbie series with multiple seasons over the last decade. Doesn’t seem like the next one is substantially changing direction resultant from the film. Feels like the premise for this article was to just reaction-bait its stars.

I think you’ll download .iso’s, then convert them to .wbfs using Wii backup manager, which should also manage the folder structure / transfer to your SD card. I don’t think the console needs .wbfs per se - it’s the method you choose for running the backups which determines format restrictions instead - but Wii backup manager was fairly straightforward to use in my recollection so that should be a good option.

There might be some repository online already in .wbfs, it just used to be standard to convert from an .iso because that’s the standard container a disc backup will be dumped into. There’s nothing too special about .wbfs other than it omits the garbage data included in retail disc backup .iso’s to pad the discs to 4.3gb, so .wbfs will be smaller

Same shell, mine has Intel CPU though

I’ve had a lot of thinkpads and currently use an ideapad flex 5. I prefer the smaller form factor for a portable machine I take travelling or out to biz meetings etc. The autorotate and touchscreen work great in Debian with gnome-shell out of the box. No pinch-to-zoom but I believe that works on KDE plasma out of the box.

Are you planning to run backups from discs or an external drive? Scene releases from the era were .iso backups of retail discs. I can’t quite remember for sure but I think .wbfs was for WiiWare i.e. smaller downloadable games. I used to just burn the .iso to a DVD and run it through the homebrew channel.

Torrentleech has a Wii category, just check it isn’t a Wii U game

I grew up near gas hubs, where it’s normal to have gas mains at home, have family employed by producers. They’ve been spinning this yarn as long as I can remember. It has not clean energy by any stretch, this is just the basic sales pitch for natural gas unchanged for like 30 years
