  • I threw it in as a gimme or as a backup if they go AMD.

    My real intent is to aim for the seventh gen intel processor or higher, as the intel quicksync encoders are better on the seventh generation than they are in the sixth gen.

    That can help with encryption of files and decoding encrypted files for something like an opnsense box or wireguard.

    And who knows, they might want to play around with some local AI stuff or jellyfin in the future.



  • When my dad was teaching me how to ride a bike, I kept falling.

    He noticed that I was paying so much attention to the road that I couldn’t focus on riding the bike.

    Finally he picked me up, looked me dead in the eyes and said, “You rule the road. Don’t let the road rule you”.

    Somehow that phrase immediately gave me the ability to ride a bicycle.

    I have shared it with other people learning to ride a bicycle after they have fallen down at least once.

    It freaking works.




  • I’m not really a member of this space, and I just found this question by browsing all, but I would say that the only bit of technically bisexual media that I have been exposed to in video games that I can think of is Final Fantasy VII, where you have the option of taking a large gun-toting black man on a date in a Disneyland-type area, and you end up cross-dressing to save your female friends and almost end up being sexually assaulted by a mafia Don who you then later kill.

    I’m only talking about the original version on the PlayStation 1. I don’t know if these themes will be revisited in the updates.




  • And also, I feel like there should be a governmental body that HOAs are responsible to that can handle mediation and give you a higher authority to appeal to.

    I’ve heard horror stories of HLA presidents coming into people’s houses to make sure that they’ve emptied their trash appropriately and other weird stuff like that should have a method of redress that does not necessarily involve a protracted legal battle.

    Some sort of HOA governance that is nationwide with state and county chapters would massively lower my resistance to HOA’s and give them a little bit more legitimacy in my opinion.

    They should have to clearly establish their bylaws and submit them to the governance body and have them approved, and then they should only be allowed to exercise the bylaws that have been agreed upon by the community.

    No more weird old people sitting out in your front yard, measuring your grass with a ruler and stuff like that.


  • I won’t live in an HOA. But that being said, I don’t really have an issue with other people wanting to live in an HOA.

    However, I do not like the fact that the HOA has permanent authority over any property you purchase inside of its zone.

    I feel like there should be a specific and reasonable amount of money that you can pay in order to exempt your home from the HOA permanently, a method to break the HOA contract at least for as long as you live there.

    Like maybe the HOA could reinstate the contract once you move out, and the next owner would have to break it again, but at least while you’re living there, you should be able to be exempt from them if you so choose.
