If everything goes as the cons plan, August 5th at the earliest.

Didn't make it past the first episode. I just act like it doesn't exist.

This is the reason I can't join a normal gym, I have to pay a high fee for a premium gym membership so that I can use the washroom without gagging or finding some dude jacking off in front of the mirrors in the middle of the night.

My wife is a teacher, she switched schools so she could be a department head (if they work for a term as one they get paid more in retirement). Her old school was brand new, A/C in the whole school, almost all windows. Her new school is like a prison complex, no windows in her classroom at all, all the brick and concrete blocks cell signal so she disappears digitally during school hours. She does have a 70's science classroom though, so floor to ceiling glass cabinets full of real borosilicate lab glass. I had fun there while she was moving into her classroom.

If you get bored later on try CachyOS. An update borked my eOS install and somehow screwed up my snapshots. So rather than deal with it, I tried out Cachy (Arch base) and just never went back. It has some quirks, but I haven't had any issues for the past 6 months. And it's fast.

Making Money, the best Moist Von Lipwig book. Even better.

Fortnite was originally a different game, in which the build mechanic played a much more important role. The Battle Royale bit was just an add-on that became so popular they dropped the original game.

Yea, I use my air fryer for everything. Wife wanted bacon so I figured what the hell, put it on bake and it was the best bacon ever and all the fat poured right out crystal clear.

Which policies are these? The ones they released with a week left till the election, well after a huge amount of people advance voted?

Honestly, if I hadn't already changed my mind about the liberals, pollievre's puppet master doing all those ads begging for conservative votes, would have.

So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

They have instream ads... ~~And it's the same damn ad on repeat~~ Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command:


yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
