Straight up IMO Andor is the best Star Wars show to come out on Disney plus

The other Star Wars shows that came out on steaming are pretty meh

Mando was pretty damn good season 1 but quickly turned meh

Star Wars Visions is worth the watch IMO as some cool Star Wars content but it’s pretty different than the other Star Wars shows which makes it better

My roommate and I enjoyed Andor, Loki, and some of the other Star Wars stuff

But yeah their selection is pretty limited, which is why we cancelled our subscription awhile ago

Sometimes

Usually I think of a one time donation as a purchase price for me or sometimes an annual subscription fee depending on how much I use it

Though the amount I put down ain’t much, I still think it’s a good idea

Ah that explains a lot and they do sound pretty unhinged

Thanks for the link

At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.

As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn’t notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.

I feel like I’m missing something here

Why do people say they’re crazy?

For context I have no idea who this “Empress” is

I’ve got a 2007 Kia that I’m planning to drive until I can’t fix it anymore

So far that’s proving to be a pretty easy given the cost and availability of parts

BTW the exclamation point in front of your link breaks it

Looks cool though

Searching discord is a nightmare

I also wish I could search communities here to help make things a bit easier to find

Having cheap hobbies

And that’s it for hobbies really, though I do have a few more those are really the ones I typically orbit the most.

Also cooking as much as possible vs eating out. I still eat out once a month with my friends but I cook almost every other meal I eat. Some are frozen (I’m not perfect) but even then it’s cheaper than picking up takeout.

And not drinking alcohol anymore. I couldn’t believe how much I was spending on alcohol until I quit drinking. Though I avoided drinking at bars (holy shit it’s expensive) those bottles weren’t cheap.

Brewing my own tea and coffee also saves a lot of money. It blows my mind how much some people I know spend on coffee simply because they don’t brew it themselves.

Maintaining my car rather than upgrading it every 5-7 years. Also doing what I can myself (or with friends) rather than going to a mechanic. My car was made in 2007, I plan to drive it until I can’t fix it anymore. Then I get another used car to maintain as well.

There’s a lot really but that’s just a brief… (looks up) briefish list

On paper I buy a lot of bananas

NGL I miss it too

There are a few reasons it could be happening so I’ll start with some the most common

If your switches are dimmer switches and you’re not using dimmer bulbs they burn out faster

If your light fixtures are sealed you need to get bulbs that are compatible with sealed fixtures

Make sure you’re getting quality bulbs as lower quality bulbs will die faster

If your area has less than stable power your bulbs will burn out faster, though higher quality dimmer compatible bulbs will handle the less stable power better (you don’t need a dimmer compatible light fixture to use dimmer bulbs)

I use GE Reveal HD+ bulbs in my fixtures (basic apartment sealed domes) and they just keep on keeping on and they’re really color accurate.

I started with store brand LED bulbs and they just kept burning out and the color accuracy would be best described as vague at best. Not to mention they’d burn out pretty much every year when the storms would roll in and my power would get flaky.

Once I finish it I’ll be sharing information about it and pictures it takes on multiple photography groups across Lemmy

Not so much really, it would be more capable for like landscapes and architecture due to the time frame it’d take pictures in

Surprisingly no

Such scanners can scan at incredibly high resolution

Hundreds of Megapixels in fact

The main thing the time it takes to scan the image is quite high, like 30 seconds or do

Edit: Here’s an example photo from someone who did what I’m talking about.

Converting a high resolution photo scanner into a large format digital camera

There’s a lot that goes into it and I’m still fairly early in the process but it is possible and has been done before

I already have some lenses that will cover the whole scanner bed, it’s mostly a question of power at this point

The hands are still pretty screwy on this one.

Though the rest of it looks pretty nice.

It was a long time building up in our friendship and after it all fell apart I can honestly say I’m happier for it finally falling apart.

It was like a great big weight was lifted off my shoulders when I told them that we were no longer friends.

I hope they’re doing well and got their act together but I don’t want to reach out and talk to them again.

Edit: Basically I was friends with this person for a decade and in that time we understood each other quite a bit. I overlooked some of their more toxic traits because I guess I was so desperate for a friend that I was willing to ignore them.

But it all eventually came to a head when they ruined the start to a vacation that they knew I was super excited for.

Long story short, they got blackout drunk in my apartment after I went to sleep before we were to go hiking and camping the following day. They vomited all over my apartment causing hundreds of dollars in damages. The following morning I tried to get them to clean up as much as they could but they couldn’t stop vomiting. They never apologized for it. The last thing I sent them was a bill that they never paid.

If they have to emulate x86 stuff it may pose some issues with efficiency

But that will likely only be in the short term
