I have a friend who always downloads the smallest (by file size) copy of any video he can find. He has a 75" 4k TV, 5.1 surround speakers, the whole setup but he downloads 720p in stereo almost exclusively. He says he just doesn’t care about the video or audio quality. It blows my mind, but some people are just weird.

Edit: Also, Paul is just a funny movie, if you’re into goofy movie references.

What are some works/resources that helped make something difficult/unclear finally click for you?

I’m always on the lookout for materials that help me understand different things that up to now I’ve been otherwise stumped by or had trouble wrapping my mind around. Any subject/topic that’s interested you that whatever you’ve found has helped you gain a greater understanding and appreciation of are welcome!

When I was in middle school, my brother brought me a set of 3 workbooks about Boolean algebra from the high school library. I can’t remember the title or much of anything else about them, but I went through them and did all the exercises, working until I completely understood every lesson. That basic foundation set me up to easily understand programming, SQL queries, and so many other computer-related things. It kinda defined my entire career. That was in 1978 or so, so it’s been awhile! I retired last year, a bit early, after a fairly successful career as a developer and DBA.

Nvidia Shield Pro with the default launcher disabled & replaced, Plex server. I’m pulling the unused apple TV out of the media setup this week.

I use flauncher. It’s ugly and doesn’t have a lot of features but I don’t care. I only have two apps installed, so I’m rarely looking at or using the launcher anyway.

If the Enterprise was built in Florida, it’d be a combination of the two.

I think we’re talking about two different floridas. Yours is the young and poor one, where mine is the old, retiree snowbird one.

“Inside every state there are two Floridas…”

How do you play a saxophone with balloons? Isn’t that just a really fucked up set of bagpipes?

I’ve been using a Tex yoda ii for years and I love it. If you want to avoid leaving “home row” nothing beats a 60% keyboard with a trackpoint! I just bought a Tex Shura but haven’t tried it out yet.

Mine is closer to WWI than to today, unless my aged brain has failed at math.

Yeah, this isn’t a presidential race, it’s a VP reality show.
