When I buy a physical book, am I entitled to scan for myself?
  • Ethically you can make as many digital or physical personal copies as you want for yourself outside of perhaps a concern for wasting resources but if you sell them you're taking away earnings from an author or rights holder or owner which may each have different moral weight and require recognition of property rights as a thing worth having. But if you're caught with hundreds or thousands of copies or copies where they are easily accessible to the public it's going to appear pretty suspicious.

  • USA President term limits
  • You're right, I thought it was hold not elected.

  • USA President term limits
  • If they followed the law as written it would go to the next person in order of succession, the congressional house speaker, because he would be ineligible to hold the office after the second term.

  • Crossover episode
  • It's more of a prime suggestion

  • Kid talks
  • Hamburger earth or hotdog earth?

  • Sinister sucks. Fight me.
  • I could take or leave jump scares if they aren't the whole thing, I just don't have great night vision so when a director thinks dark=scary I just end up watching a black screen with sfx and music, at least one of the home movies in Sinister and some of the later scenes was that I couldn't see any detail at all just a flat black screen. It was really disappointing after so much great tension building in the first half.

  • Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?
  • Not just fast food, chains and franchises in general. Local only may be more of a quality gamble when trying things out but when you find that unassuming diner or small restaurant that takes pride in their daily soups, and doesn't do delivery or apps, and closes at reasonable times for their workers, and is usually packed on weekends, you've found something special.

  • Bifold wallet with radio blocking for card scanners, keys with a little purple Swiss army pocket knife and bottle opener from Texas, Nexus 5 phone no case, oversized coin to fidget with that has a couple stoic phrases 'memento mori' and 'amor fati' but thinking about it I guess they should be written in Greek instead of Latin since that's the written language they would have used, occasional guitar picks left in pockets, microfiber cloth for glasses. In the winter I usually also keep chapstick, tissues, pens, mints, etc in my coat.

  • The poor, poor people on r/Conservative...
  • Pretty sure Twitter still takes the cake on that one

  • Reality you can't find in fiction
  • And some song lyrics from the first music number:

    The last man nearly ruined this place,

    He didn’t know what to do with it

    If you think this country’s bad enough now,

    Just wait till I get through with it. /

    The country’s taxes must be fixed,

    And I know what to do with it.

    If you think you’re paying too much now,

    Just wait till I get through with it. /

    I will not stand for anything

    That’s crooked or unfair.

    I’m strictly on the up and up,

    So everyone beware. /

    If anyone’s caught taking graft

    And I don’t get my share,

    We stand ‘em up against the wall…

    And pop goes the weasel!

  • Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory
  • Of course, let's not let things like knowledge or consequences get in the way of reactionary & spiteful arrogance informed only by propaganda induced fear and hate, emotions know to prevent rational thought /s

  • The ones I've seen in the wild are pvcs and ccc/harvest, but there are others. I think they usually try to brand it as part of a larger end-to-end SDLC tool or change management, or it's built to work with a specific proprietary system like Autodesk vault.

  • checkmate
  • And Firefox, git, Dia, gimp, etc...

    Proprietary OS's like Windows and macOS lack package managers too that tools like chocolatey and homebrew provide.

  • What is your favorite movie or TV show director's commentary?

    Been listening to a few lately, a few John Carpenter's, Mayhem was pretty out there, looking for more that are interesting or wildly off topic or entertaining.

    Tips for living an advertising free/minimal life?

    Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

    I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

    Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
