Are those connected to Dollar General in the US? They popped up everywhere sometime around 2013-2016 (within miles of each other) and have a very similar looking candy (pretty good for $1 too).

Here in the southern US, pigs in a blanket is typically made from little cocktail smokies wrapped in about 1/3'rd of an uncooked pilsbury cresssant, then tossed in an oven until done. I really thought a sausage roll from Tesco would be similar but it was not... That's when I realized y'all have pretty bad food there (no offense), why did you guys start putting hotdogs in pizza crust? As an aside, I love how orderly everyone queues up for stuff there, almost like a country with functioning adults that teach their kids how to wait their turn.

I like OAuth for simplifying my login process mainly. I use Authentik for a lot of my home services (calibre, nextcloud, freshrss, etc), and not having to deal with Plex's authentication service would be awesome. In fact a few months ago my work started blocking Plex, not my home domain though so I can access the webplayer but not login now (so no more morning local news in the background now that I'm back in the office).

Yeah, been a lifetime Plex pass holder for a long time, it was fun but it still doesn't support OAuth and now they are forcing ads before local TV streams now. I realize the latter is probably more on the Roku side of the house as my shield hasn't started doing that yet.

Really live TV is the last thing holding me onto Plex, well that and I really do love Plexamp and the sonic analysis bit Plex can do. Plex's days are sadly numbered for this selfhoster.

OAuth is one thing I hate to see locked behind a paywall; it's one thing for the pretty, management-geared stuff (dashboards and charts) to be a paid feature, but not security.

Also depends a bit by state (in the USA), Georgia enacted a law that essentially made it illegal to be passed on the right, speeding or not, if you are slower than the car behind you they want you to be to the right (https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/title-40/chapter-6/article-9/section-40-6-184/).

The middle lane is an overtaking lane just like any other lanes toward the middle of the roadway (reverse that for the handful of countries that drive on the other side of the road). Every country I've sat for a drivers test in has had that as a very basic concept and the single country I've actually seen it followed had the best damn driving experience (German's follow the rules and their roads are better for it).

There is also a Janet Jackson song that was breaking hard drives at one point... Sometimes music just works

It was probably about half a cup or so, not an insane amount.

Can confirm, I saved up a lot of those through childhood... Then ate them. It's been 25 years or so since then and I'm still here.

I'd argue that I bought the car, if they are maintaining a cellular connection to the vehicle to collect telemetry data, I should be allowed to access it as well (I own the car), alternatively they could let me pay for the data connection and not collect stuff.

Hmm... Now that is a sport I think I could watch, at least once or twice!
