I still let it grow despite the weeds. But weeds is an understatement. As I said, it’s thornbushes and they grow into impassible thicket. I have enough acres that I’m fine with it. But it’s not something the average homeowner could allow to happen. It isn’t child safe.
Plex, Blue Iris, Minecraft mod servers for the kids. I’ll often use the server CPU for video filtering/encoding home videos off of VHS tapes because the nnedi3 filter takes a lot of CPU.
Years ago I lost data on a nas because the ram wasn’t ECC. So I won’t buy/build any PC without ECC unless it’s only going to be used for web browsing/gaming.
Could be but finding a motherboard that has verified ECC is tricky. Most say works but not tested/supported so you’re on your own to figure out if ECC fully works.
This is really nice for home servers. There has been a huge gap for years where the choice was a 16-64 core high watt monstrosity or use a 4 year old server CPU before every server went to high core counts.
I always laugh at how life support represents a huge fraction of power. They can boost shields 20% from life support. Shields that protect them from gigantic weapons.
Meanwhile Apollo 13 astronauts survived for 3 days with no power and a tiny oxygen tank.
I did some math. Volume of TNG bridge: 480,000 liters. 1 person breathes 8 liters per minute of air. That’s not using up all the oxygen but it’s how much you would use without any oxygen reduction at all.
480,000 / 8 = 60,000 minutes of air before noticing the air is stale.
60,000 minutes / 11 crew on the bridge (including Wesley) = over 3 days of no air before they’d even notice that oxygen was lower.
TNG enterprise reactor creates 12.75 billion gigawatts and has a crew of around 1000. For comparison, One World Trade Center uses 110 mega watts for 8,000 people.
Edit:
A better comparison is the ISS which uses an absolute maximum of 17kw per astronaut for lights/computers/air/water/heat.
That’s 17 Megawatts for the Enterprise ~1000 crew?
So that’s 17 *10^9 / 12.7 *10^18 =
Life support uses about 1 billionth of the Enterprise’s power.
Only useful against technology really, and that seems so unrealistic. That’s where it lost me, the convenience of a creature that can EM machines. So unbelievable....
“in a time when Americans are as or more divided and polarized than at any time since the 19th century, the appeal of feel-good patriotic stories about Americans fighting “the last good war” should be greater today than in 1998.”
Hot take:
A small part of the reason WW2 media is no longer popular is that it features Americans fighting Nazis and now a significant percentage of Americans are Nazis.
The Animals record “House Of The Rising Sun” in one take at De Lane Lea Studios on Kingsway in London. The song would top the UK singles chart the following July and reach number one in America two months later. In 1999, the record was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award
Sky pilot was also the Animals? How did I not know that??
Eric Burdon’s wife left him for Jimi Hendrix.
The guitarist for The Animals was Andy Summer who went on to The Police.
The bassist was Chas Chandler who left to manage Jimi Hendrix and Slade.
Eric Burdon was the Eggman in the Beatles I am the Walrus. There are two stories confirming it. One is from Malcolm McDowell with Eric being at Lennon’s house for breakfast, and one story is racy. Although both stories could be true with the common thread being Lennon calling Burdon the Eggman.
I did that as a kid on occasion and have done it as an adult to relive my childhood.
Don’t knock it until you try it. In the right proportions, the sugar of the jelly mixed with the fat of the peanut butter, creates PB&J flavored frosting.
For example eating a stick of butter is gross or eating a cup of sugar is too much. But mix them together and you get frosting which when spread on cake is amazing.

Godzilla (2014) was pretty good, except for Muto having that electromagnetic pulse weapon. Why would a biological evolutionarily develop such a thing? It's useless against Godzilla.
