Imagine I have two choices: end world hunger, or end world hunger and kick a puppy. If I choose to end world hunger but also kick a puppy...well I'm kinda a dick, right? Ultimately I did a very good thing ending word hunger, so on balance, my actions are "net positive." But the choice I actually made was to kick a puppy.

Now, I need to eat. So I have a choice: eat yummy food and don't kill an animal, or eat yummier food and do kill and animal. The choice I'm effectively faced with is, "kill an animal for better taste."

It's totally up to you to decide if that is a good choice for you personally.

If course it's not always so simple, and there are financial, cultural, and health reasons that complicate this. But for some folks (like myself) that's kinda how I view it.

Property can take a while to close


offer to title in under 30 days is on the quick side.

Of course, you could probably close very fast if you offered 100M cash on a 10M property...

What's you network setup? Is there any chance that it's connecting through he Internet instead of locally? For example: JF proxies through a VPS, and you're connected to the VPS address instead of the local address of the server?

My favorite SMBC Venn joke leaves the diagram to the imagination: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?db=comics&id=1917#comic

I just got one of the cheap Chromecast+Google TV things and I'm pleasantly surprised by the Jellyfin app.

UI is definitely sluggish on home screen.

That's insanely fast. 30mph on a bike (flat, no wind) is real work. And that's with proper gearing and, you know...wheels.

...unless it's an N64 controller, and you just got blueshell'd in Mario Kart/Oddjob'd in GoldenEye, in which case that's perfectly normal behavior

I'd love to see something like ballot included in tax returns (for folks who don't otherwise request a ballot). Near-mandatory voting, with abstaining being allowed.

...or EmacsEmacEmacs, if that's your thing.

You can imagine what happens next 🙄

to keep Biden on the ballot.

I think this should be "to put Biden on the ballot." He is not currently the one the ballot, as he is not the Democratic nominee


the nominee is chosen at the party's convention, which hasn't happened yet for the Dems.
