  • Part of the magic for me is that for years after its release it was so weird and mysterious. Was Tommy Wiseau in on the joke? Who the hell is this guy, where is he from, and where did he get the money to finance this? I don't normally care about so-bad-they're-good movies, but The Room is such a treat.

  • Went to the bathroom for 3 minutes, came back and my co-worker had been arrested for gooning joggers that morning public masturbation.

    EDIT: This guy would park his car, start jerking off, then ask women for directions. That morning someone recognized him, and he freaked out and drove away. He got sober after that and turned things around.

  • I learned about torchiere style lamps a few years ago and I really like them. You've seen them before. They're usually floor lamps and they point upwards to bounce the light off the ceiling. Unless you have a dark ceiling, they do a great job of spreading the light around the room without being too bright.

    Smart bulbs are, of course, more customizable, but recently I've gone back to analog lights I can just turn on and off.

  • I guess it's good they acknowledge the need for an exception to the law, but even in the case I described it sounds like the person in danger would be waiting even longer to have their case reviewed. That said, I don't know how long the process normally takes anyway, or if a name change is a viable protection from domestic violence.

  • Does India have a higher rate of violent sex crimes compared with other countries, or have I been propagandized? I don't want to be the guy who says, "WTF is happening over there?" so I'm curious if something is, indeed, "happening over there."

  • My parents were Catholic, so they never talked about sex per se. My "talk" was my dad saying, "I want you to remember to always respect women. And that means not doing anything inappropriate." Very informative.

  • OP wasn't arguing that Italian-American culture necessarily resembles Italian culture. Of course they're different. You're implying that the concept of "Italian-American culture" is superficial or illegitimate because it differs from the way that Europeans talk about international or intergenerational identities, and that's some prescriptivist bullshit. "Genuine cultural identity"? Get out of here.

    Plex remote access - low quality even with gigabit fiber

    Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

    The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

    I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

    NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

    EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some

    Replacing moldy sealant

    There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant.

    When I go to replace the sealant, how do I kill the mold so it's safe to seal over again?

    Thanks for any advice you can offer.
