The insurance company wouldn’t allow Chris to play with dinosaurs

Sounds like a much more complex reason than just incompetence, so both Occam’s razor and Hanlons razor would support incompetence rather than a conspiracy

And if that conspiracy was true, why would they send a rookie cop?

No that would mean you are a claquer that is unemployed, I know because

Yes can’t you see, hes unemployed, so he can’t work for them

I dont think it was an intentional setup, its was a rookie cop (for real, he was new) who arrested the first person he found where one person from the public claimed it was the perpetrator, and he didn’t marandise him, searched his bag without him bring able to see it. And didn’t find a gun. Arrested him (remember I said didn’t marandise), called someone from new York, who came down 6 hours later, then they found a gun in his bag.

Yes Luigi was at a hostel in new York the day of the shooting. This is the only link they have. Similar, not the same looking jacket, other clothes were not the same. Was in the same city.

I dont believe Luigi was the shooter. If he was he woudlnt bring a gun to McDonald’s

They are normal, not weird

You are right, again it’s Disney who made did a character assassination of Hades.

I want to comment that James Woods did an impeccable performance, I don’t think he would fit if Hades was portrayed differently, but as he was there.

That’s one way to resolve your father issues

Like Melinoë

Anyone know if hades ever knew Zeus was her real father?

I hang a towel on a hook over the shower door, I can reach over the door and take the towel right after turning of the shower head. I can dry off in a reasonable comfortable temperature.

This fixes for me most situations except if it’s below -30C outside and it is horribly expensive to have any reasonable temperature in the bathroom without spending unreasonable amounts of money. Then I just dry off quick inside the shower, and put on wool quickly and run into a heated room

Elefant, spaceships, tacos

I’ve ordered a peperoni pizza in several countries in Europe and I’ve never herd this.

Würst is the German word for sausage, and while I can easily imagine Germans saying peperoni-würst, I can’t imagine this being common outside of Germany.

Pepperoni is an Italian style sausage, where the word and branding was made by Italian immigrants in the US.

If you want to order a peperoni pizza in Europe, you might need to know what they call them there, even if they are excellent in speaking English.

In Italy you would order a salame pizza. In eastern Europe, without speaking the local language, I’ve had to order a sausage pizza, and in any country more influenced by American culture, peperoni pizza is what you order. I haven’t ordered pizza in Germany, but I will probsbly do that now the next time.

And you have your kids in the car

Like Stuart from Mad TV?

Why not? First of I have all the episodes as mkv files, they are high quality but indeed compressed.

Second, if I will AI upscale the episodes, I want to use uncompressed video files, and then compress them after the upscale. Maybe 720p would be more than enough? Maybe 1080p? I don’t expect 1440p or 4k to improve the viewing experience much over 1080p

Lastly, in Norway, ripping DVDs for own use is specifically legal. The act of format shifting or making straight up copies at least of music got legal precidence about 20 years ago. I don’t remember exactly, just remember watching the news. Reasoning was, for the sake for format shifting, or making backups to preserve your original. Giving away, lending, or selling your backups was strictly made illegal, except if the original is included when you sell your backup. As well you can’t make a backup and sell the original without destroying the backup or including it with the sale.

One of the guys credited with breaking the dvd encryption was Norwegian. He didn’t do it alone, and last time I called him the guy who broke thebencruption, someone on reddit yelled at me. He had the code printed on a t-shirt, and used it in every interview on TV. There FBI had an arrest warrant out for him, he even won an award he didn’t attend in the US. The warrant was later recended or something I don’t know, because he did move to the US in the end.

Final thoughts. I think my ps3 can be used to rip dvd’s using home brew? I might not need to buy a usb drive if I don’t want to.

I’m just waiting sometimes searching for an in depth guide, or an easy to use tool, to upscale my sg-1 dvd’s directly from original non compressed quality, to a more palatable resolution before they are compressed and converted to mkv. Tools being FOSS is a soft requirement, it kind of has to run on Linux, or I need to find an older dual core Intel Mac in storage or run windows in a vm.

I don’t have any computers with a DVD drive any more, but I’m not opposed to buying one

Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it

AFAIK currently, they just add black video into the YouTube video, and play an ad separately from the main video stream. That’s what I’ve heard about people with working ad block who got this, there was just black video added to their YouTube video
