I find this both hilarious and horrifying. This specific situation is funny because it’s novel, but I didn’t sign up for big flying flashing sky billboards

Just for clarity, I couldn’t stack those bricks very well either.

Yeah, obviously there are worse jobs and steamers who love what they do, but I can’t think of a better way to ruin any enjoyment I had for gaming.

Mad respect for the ones who are on for 10 hours every day of the week for years straight, and somehow still manage to be healthy and have a family. I couldn’t do it.

Only inasmuch as I have to count from 12 because I don’t have the built-in instinct for that time format.

Sharpening your knife will help, too. Crushing the onion with your chef’s spoon releases way more of the cry gas.

I vaguely remember reading something about ATC workers being on average really good at StarCraft 2.

This book cured my arachnophobia

I’m running a Linux server, a Linux desktop, and a VPS host. While I’m far from an expert, I’d like to think I’m in a better position than most people when it comes to this type of solution.

Even then, it just isn’t scalable. First off, I want to just use my remote and have things work. I need it to work not just for me, but for family across several devices. At the end of the day, the $15 a month is probably cheaper than I’d pay just for the electricity of another server, much less the time and effort spent administrating it.

If someone with a lot more knowledge than me could build an ansible deployment that packaged a streaming tool compatible with plug-in casting devices, I’d be on that in a heartbeat.

Not on my TV, unfortunately :(

I’ve tried pihole and pfblocker and several forms of Adblock plus casting, and eventually decided it was worth the $. I’m not proud of it, but YouTube premium is my only paid streaming service.
