VLC is adding AI generated subtitles, I wonder if it would be possible to co-opt that?

I have a Kenmore 80 Series washer and dryer set. There’s a knob on the control panels to turn the buzzer off. It runs until it’s finished. There is no lid lock, the washer is top-loading. The drum brake is a bit loud these days, should probably look into that. And it’s probably about time to clean out the dryer’s vent, the dull men’s club will enjoy that.

No but I’ll start making some content for Peertube and contribute a modest amount to the instance I upload to. Fair?

The most mysterious one to me happened in 2015 or so. I was watching Zero Punctuation, and it served me an hour long computer networking lecture as an ad. Like, some Indian guy delivering a power point presentation. I was like, what’s the monetization strategy here, guys? Did this dude pay you to serve his lectures as ads? What?

If you’re looking for tutorials or other immediately applicable information, you’ve often got to skip a LOT of bullshit before even determining if this video is relevant to you.

"Hey everybody it’s Mike from Mike’s the guy named Mike, it’s a snowy day out there, I got my coffee, took my dog for a walk, it’s been the morning of a day, and now I’m out here in the garage and I figured I’d make a video about a topic a bunch of you have been asking me about. You guys have been asking me a lot lately “Hey, Mike’s the guy named Mike, could you show us how to properly lick a drill press?” Well let’s find out.

10 second title screen because Mike thinks he’s making TV

“So a lot of you guys have been asking me “Hey, Mike’s the guy named Mike, could you show us the right way to lick a drill press?” Before we get into that, be sure to leave a like, drop a comment below and be sure to subscribe. It’ll really help me out more than you can think…”

19 minutes into a 21 minute video and there hasn’t been a drill press on screen yet.

Three weeks later Mike’s the guy named Mike along with his entire family is killed in a rock slide. The UN declares it an international day of celebration.

What was I talking about?

See my understanding of coconut oil is it’s a better substitute for lard or shortening because 1. it’s unsaturated fat rather than saturated fat and 2. it’s not hydrogenated. It’s a vegetable oil that’s solid at room temperature, which is why you see it used in packaged baked goods a lot, because in the words of Alton Brown, “It’ll stay moist and unctuous while having the shelf life of uranium.”

Hams are much more likely to use yagi antennas and physically rotate them, it’s simpler, for one thing.

I don’t think the FCC has many employees sitting around listening to the ham bands for violations, they rely on licensed amateurs to report issues, so at least the first folks who are gonna try to find you are going to do so with the kit they’ve got.

I don’t care if messages are encrypted at all in this case, the entire reason I mentioned encryption is to say “I don’t need the feature this service is most known for.”

Pledged a frat.

On the toilet seat it’s kind of nice…until you get used to it taking some muscle to close and then you not only drop but actively slam some other toilet shut.

No email service could possibly force an inbound email to be encrypted in transit, the sending service has to do that, and that’s really the only part that Proton doesn’t have a feature for (because it’s impossible).

This is what I meant by “it largely wouldn’t be encrypted mail.” I’m looking for an email address to open a Pixelfed, Peertube and probably Mastodon and Loops account, among others. Trying to separate “content creation” from my personal accounts and email address. This account will likely be public-facing and will receive normal everyday email, from the various instances I sign up with plus maybe a viewer if anyone ever watches anything I make. The automatic encryption features of Protonmail don’t seem that useful for this use case. Just need an email address that my bank hasn’t heard of.

I have no basis by which to choose a service provider.

Mopeds are like fat chicks, really fun to ride as long as no one sees you.

A nation that, for most of its existence, did not successfully produce toilet paper.

GNU is the sound a man makes when you force his epiglottis open with a socket wrench.

Explain to me why those three tires roll up the ramp. I first saw this video on ebaumsworld pre-Youtube, it’s looked wrong to me for twenty goddamn years.

At 25 seconds in, one wheel that has been knocked off a component I don’t recognize rolls across the floor and hits another wheel at the base of a ramp, which is nudged forward and then accelerates up the ramp as if something is applying a torque to it until it hits another wheel, which does the same thing.

I adapted the piano part to guitar, you’ve got to take the treble down an octave but it works.

Would you call Audacity a DAW?

Are they finally shipping them? They announced that phone like 647 years ago.

My toilet seat has a damper in it, kept the lid from slamming. Seems to be wearing out, the seat will freely move now and the lid is getting noticeably easier to move.
