Maybe they will start to realize the persistent election cycle is not a good thing. I would love to see a ban on all election campaigning until 90 days before said election but that wouldn’t get past a 1st amendment challenge.

A large segment of the US population is still extremely anti-Muslim and think they are all terrorists, especially those at the center and center-right. I’ve met numerous supposed “centrist democrats” that think we should turn every Muslim country to glass.

I have, and use Calibre with LL instead and it still requires a lot of hand holding and manual grooming to get a clean library.

My big issue with Readarr is that it had a hard time fetching data for various popular and/or prolific authors. So if I wanted to fetch all the books for a particular author, there was a high likelihood it wouldn’t actually fetch the necessary book data to do so.

I prefer LazyLibrarian over Readarr but it still leaves a lot to be desired for end-user usability. One of the big issues with ebooks is that data is a mess, with each book having a billion different editions with spotty metadata support that makes it hard to tell what is what.

Goodreads seems like it was a decent source of data for these types of projects but they shut off new API access a couple years ago and legacy access can go away at any moment. Hardcover seems like a promising API alternative but not sure if anyone has started integrating with them yet. Manga and comics seem to be in a better state, with a more rabid fanbase maintaining data but still nowhere near what’s available for movies and tv.

I had a family member go through 3 doctors and many months of unbearable pain in their leg, all saying it was a simple sports injury that’ll go away on its own, before someone realized they had a pool noodle sized tumor in their leg. I blame this incompetence for their death.

Yup, that’s what I said, either entire sum or pay someone to post bond on his behalf.

[–] brandon@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Either the entire sum or pay someone 10% to post bond. If he doesn’t put up the whole sum 9% interest will continue to accrue (roughly $87k/day). If he doesn’t appeal nor pay, the prosecutor can start asking for assets to be seized.

Unlikely to be feasible for gaming as you will run in latency and overhead issues. If you want 60 fps, you have 16-17ms to render each frame.

At the bare minimum, you are probably going to lose a couple of ms from network latency from even the best home networking setups.

Then there is the extra overhead of maintaining state in realtime between multiple systems as well as coordinating what work each system can actually do in parallel. Full set of textures and other data will most certainly need to be on both, as having a shared memory pool across the network would be unfeasible. As a result, you will most likely have the same memory constraints, especially on the gpu, for each machine as you would just using a single machine.

FYI, you can use IMDB lists in Sonarr. First go to Settings -> Import Lists and click the add button. IMDB lists should be under “Other List” section.

Brooke Chase, Thea’s mother, said she had an instinct to check on her daughter who had been playing in the yard, and learned the toddler’s uncle told Thea to go inside because she had no shoes on.

When Chase and her brother-in-law realized Thea wasn’t in the house, she said she began to yell. They searched for about 20 minutes before calling Chase’s husband and police.

I’m curious what her mother and uncle were doing while her dad is away and she was playing alone in the yard. Where I live, kids that age have been attacked by coyotes, even when supervised, and that’s in a suburb of a major city, not rural Michigan.

I play it pretty much exclusively on my Deck and haven’t run into any performance issues that have bothered me. Patch 2 made things noticeably smoother so I expect it to get even better over time. I haven’t hit act 3 yet though and that seems to be where most people have problems in general.

Turning off FSR is a must if you don’t want a blurry mess.

Try turning off FSR in the graphics settings, it looks much better and clearer with it off.
