Naw, if I'm going to have a DVD jukebox, it's gonna be as bootleg as it gets. Converting AVIs to whatever the fuck format DVD players understand was a pain in the ass then, I'm sure converting MKVs backwards to the same format is still equally annoying, but it's the principle of the thing.

Re-thinking it, I think that would be kinda cool.

It's not far off from people who own jukeboxes

Burning all the DVDs would be a pain in the ass, but I do have most of a spindle that I haven't touched since...2013?

That's called Jellyfin

But what more, short of killing every cop, are you suggesting be done?

Seems you understand what needs to be done

I've found a couple plugs "upgraded" to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

Ah, the good old reverse polarity bootleg ground.

Fun fact: RPBG is the one fault that those plug-in outlet testers can't recognize

Edit: Wait, no, that would be hot bootleg ground, they should catch that. RPBG has the hot and neutral switched, and also a bootleg ground to the neutral that's actually hot

Shitty modern electric stove tops use infrared radiation. Good modern electric stove tops are induction

Right? Why wasn't that the headline?

The comment you're replying to is deleted, but from your comment I assume it was about hydrogen as fuel?

Hydrogen fueled vehicles are generally electric, using a hydrogen fuel cell, rather than being internal combustion using a hydrogen engine. Compared to battery electric, hydrogen has the benefit of fast refueling and higher energy density, but has the drawback of difficult storage and lack of refuelling infrastructure.

As a vehicle fuel, I think hydrogen does have a future, but only in commercial/industrial, particularly shipping. Semis already have predictable routes and stops/depots, and building hydrogen refuelling stations into those depots wouldn't be too complicated.

Hydrogen passenger vehicles, with gas stations being replaced with hydrogen stations, will never happen.

Sad and entirely predictable; we already knew he was a shitbag

Oh, the road needs resurfacing, most of them here do. Decades of conservative government will do that
