    I haven’t had a good bagger since they started using the cheap plastic bags. The worst was before they started outlawing them and I had checkers put 2 or 3 items in one bag and then start a new one so you end up with 12 bags for 30 items.

    Good baggers would plan out your heavy items for the bottom and bread and eggs on top and fill those paper bags well. They got rid of those employees first.

    This has been Target and Walmart for the last 30 or 40 years. They build them with 30 lanes with the idea of Xmas rush but then only have one or two lanes open no matter how many customers are waiting.

    This was a problem long before self checkout or higher minimum wages or any of that.











  • The SUV is really just a mini van. Mini vans got a bad rep, which I think is a shame because I LOVED my Honda Odyssey. It drives like a car, and has a 3rd row that you can actually sit adults in. Also, with all the seats down, and middle seats removed, you could carry a LOT. We fit two full sofas from Ikea back there. It was a tight fit, but it worked great.

    For whatever reason people don’t like the idea of mini vans, so they made the suv because TRUCK. We replaced the Odyssey with a Subaru Ascent, and that is great too, it has all wheel driving, and a lot more bells and whistles than the old Odyssey. The 3rd row is not nice to sit in as an adult though, and I miss the sliding doors, those were great in tight spaces.

    They just need to put more sliding doors on these vehicles they expect people to get in and out of the back seats.






  • Side note. Don’t use hardware acceleration with TDARR. You will get much better encodes with software encoding, which is great for archival and saving storage.

    Use hardware acceleration with Jellyfin for transcoding code on the fly for a client that needs it.

    If you know what your client specs are, you can use TDARR to reencode everything to what they need and then you won’t have to transcode anything with Jellyfin.


  • Honestly, copper is a better conductor than gold, which is why you wouldn’t want to make the whole cable out of gold (ignoring price). It works for the connectors because it doesn’t oxidize like copper does which means that the connection between the device and cable will be better.

    You MIGHT notice a difference between a gold connector and a normal one with an analog signal, but once you have a digital signal like HDMI, the cable will either work or not. You won’t get a signal degradation like you would with a RCA cable, it just shuts out.

    That being said, I have seen gold connector on the fiber TOSLINK cables too. I’m sure those made the light go SO much faster. /s
