Comment on What are your hobbies? And how do you get into them? in ~hobbies
Gorf LinkVintage Cars and motorcycles. I grew up around a family whose hobby was old cars. I'm in the only one with the bike bug though.

I currently own a 1948 Ford 2-door sedan, a 1929 model A, a 1971 Vega that is currently being converted to a drag car, and then about a dozen motorcycles from mid-50s up to my 2004 Aprilia RSVR Factory race bike.

I just want to play through the game. I don't even care if I lose the option to be glorified on some leaderboard.

Comment on In race to beat Netflix, studios give up billions in profits in ~tv
Gorf LinkRemember when platforms like Hulu promised to be "the platform" for content providers to publish on? I loved Hulu for a long time, but now everyone is launching their own streaming service. I'm...Remember when platforms like Hulu promised to be "the platform" for content providers to publish on? I loved Hulu for a long time, but now everyone is launching their own streaming service. I'm not paying for 10 different streaming services at $10 - $15 each. That, combined with the utterly, completely, superduper horrible new Hulu interface has largely caused me to leave.
The harder it is for me to find data, the easier it becomes to simply download it onto my plex server.

OnePlus made me buy my Pixel 3. Anyone else have bad experiences with OnePlus?
This is going to sound like a total rant, but I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been completely screwed by OnePlus and they really just don't care. I bought a OnePlus 6T back at the end...
This is going to sound like a total rant, but I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been completely screwed by OnePlus and they really just don't care. I bought a OnePlus 6T back at the end of November and received it in early December. It has barely worked for about two weeks since then. The ticket I have open with them is ridiculously long. And then they just went dead silent on me. I assumed I was being ignored. I even got the perma-hold ignore on the phone too. But today OnePlus finally replied after 27 days!! During all this time I just went out and bought a Pixel 3XL and I am tickled pink with it.
If anyone wants a good laugh at my expense you are welcome to read my story on my site read my story on my site.
From the bottom of my heart - be careful spending your money with OnePlus.

Comment on Store closes after Nike boycott: 'More Colin Kaepernick fans than I realized' in ~sports.american_football
Gorf LinkSome of the articles show this store owner as being out of touch with reality. So you remove Nike from your stores products. The one company that has like 99% of all NFL merchandise contracts....Some of the articles show this store owner as being out of touch with reality. So you remove Nike from your stores products. The one company that has like 99% of all NFL merchandise contracts. Then you go and sell the rest of your stock at 50% off.
Dude - it's not the fans of Kapernick that are ruining you. It's your shitty business decisions.
You stood up for what you believe in. Great! But sometimes that comes with consequences.
I really hope this continues to develop. Perfecting the process of growing consumable meat means processes that will contribute to growing replacement tissue for medical reasons. Tech often accelerates the fastest when big profits are to be made.
