I completely agree, I really enjoyed D:OS II but I just haven't been able to get into BG3 so far. I can't say anything was bad or poorly accomplished but it's just not clicking for me yet.

From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:

Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.

The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.

I'm seriously tired of "living in interesting times".

Growing up I didn't really get how that was supposed to be an insult, I definitely understand it now though.

I mean the definition of crime is literally "an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government". So it being "technically illegal" is the basis for it being a crime or not.

So you're okay with their suggestion of introducing wolves to help control the deer population? (which for the record, I'm not denying is genuinely a promising strategy to help with the problem)

But if you are, then how is that not also "unnecessary killing"? The end result is essentially the same thing, dead deer that become food for another specie.

My understanding from briefly looking at the README is that it essentially aims to help with creating balancers of various sizes (variable number of inputs and outputs) as well as allowing you to restrict the amount of space the balancers should use.

Would be great if OP could confirm though.

They sorta did, just in a different thread. https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-artwork-provider/867786/6

It's Gracenote.

Per the linked thread, this is already rolling out but requires a refresh of metadata for it to actually pull in from the new source, so if you don't periodically refresh metadata, nothing will change. Additionally, any locked field (i.e. if you've changed it manually before) won't be updated, so any manually assigned posters will remain the same.

I've already done the refresh on my library and I think I only had 2 or 3 posters that I really didn't like and overall I actually prefer the new source. Not all changes are necessarily bad changes...

I went from an i5-7600K to an i5-13600K and the performance improvement has been worth every penny. Obviously a bit of a different upgrade than what you asked so it's hard for me to say if it's worth it in your case.

That being said the significant upgrade in core count has helped a ton, I usually have around 30 docker containers running and haven't had any performance issues, previously my whole server would lock up when any docker ran an intensive process unless I pinned cores for unraid itself. Ive also seen a huge improvement with transcoding due to the improved iGPU but I think that was the same one in the 12th gen so you probably wouldn't see value there.

Totally agree on that point. I took it more to mean it could be fatal if someone went to refill a jar of vinegar with bleach (or vice versa) since mixing the two creates chlorine gas which can be fatal.

Vinegar can be a very effective cleaning agent though, it's not just used for food.

I switched over to TickTick when Todoist suddenly changed their pricing model a few years ago. I don't remember the specifics of what happened but I remember being very frustrated with the sudden changes as it would've required me to change my whole system.

I've been very happy with TickTick since then and would strongly recommend OP checks it out to see if it fits their needs.
