Service area in the new arena for the 2025 US Hunger Games

I barely use Amazon, it's just 90% AliExpress stock at huge markup anyway, plus more importantly they're evil. I do seem to have prime though, which I use to order something maybe every other month when it's urgent for work. Thing is I'm not signed up for prime, it just activated when I linked an audible account to my business account years ago. I do use audible, to the limit of the credits anyway. So I've been kinda torn for ages and can't bring myself to cancel as my old audible subscription seems to be giving me prime somehow for much less than prime is to sign up.

I just convince myself I'm playing the system...

I only buy fancy shit now and just eat less of it, like stokes and a couple of local ones.

All that own brand stuff is just tomato juice concentrate with a load of thickening agents plus sugar and crap to make it taste like something. And Heinz was always overly sweet crap anyway.

It can be a bit like climbing a mountain, sometimes you gotta stay at a certain height for a while to let your body acclimatise and get used to your new lifestyle.

Without a strict exercise routine it can get harder/slower the closer you get to that goal. I'd say don't beat yourself up, make maintenance the goal for a bit while making little changes until you're ready to push on.

American culture really has mastered being both violent and fragile

I was on emby some time ago and got sick of user issues, I tried jellyfin before that but it was worse. Very interested to know how both compare to Plex now (since maybe 4ish years ago) as I'd be very open to switching back.

I think I'd avoid emby though as I found the developer to be an annoying weirdo at times when trying to communicate.

Because that's really just to be expected at this point, and what his audience would want..

Better to focus on constantly poking at him for being dumb, which he and his fans hate, rather than give them what they want, ie being upset at their hateful language

I'd say it was TV that gave you the PTSD. I bailed on TV at about 8 years old (28 years ago..) and every time I've been with people watching it since I was always amazed just how awful it all really was. But I guess it's just what becomes normal if you grow up with it

I think they've done them a favour in a way. If this was day one then it might hurt them but they're past the point of like 90% of their sales I bet, and now pegi looking like incompetent dinosaurs is just a free second wave of social media exposure

£13 but shipping is half that again so I've ordered 2.

They're just on a flex cable with a smd connector so 5 mins to swap

TNG S5E2 is the legendary episode from this post. You have so many gems in your journey like S2E9 etc etc. You are in an envious position of experiencing the franchise for the first time, just make sure you start out with TNG, DS9(slow start but great), and Voy (a bit mid but with some great episodes) & I always thought enterprise was good.

Post that lot though... The newer films can be a fun cinematic experience I guess, but the series are mostly trash. SNW had some moments, Discovery had a few, but really MEH.

Oh also TNG S1 was fairly rough but improves so much as it ran. Still had its share of duds but the highs of the high points were some of the best TV of the genre at the time.
