Without that last image for context, I would have assumed you stick the cork part into your butt and poop spaghetti out the other side.

I hope someone gives you a good answer, because I'd like one myself. My method has just been to do this stuff little by little. I would also recommend calibre web for interfacing instead of calibre. You can run both in docker, and access calibre on your server from whatever computer you happen to be on. I find centralizing collections makes the task of managing them at least more mentally manageable.

You might want to give an idea of the size of your library. What some people consider large, others might consider nothing much. If it is exceedingly large you're better off asking someplace with more data hoarders instead of a general Linux board.

Plenty of episodes where crew members get trapped in caverns where the transporter can't reach and they have to set up pattern enhancers. I would assume the miners are done ng just that, setting up pattern enhancers to increase range to whatever they're trying to get to.

It also makes sense that ships would have overpowered, top of the line transporters and replicators. At least the best ships. I would assume that there are different spec l, lower quality devices in use. This was my main takeaway from lower decks. We're used to seeing the best of the best on the enterprise. So yeah, if all of Starfleet was that good, both tech and people, they wouldn't have so many problems. But it evidently isn't.

Not a Texan, but back when you had to have a permit for concealed carry in Florida, they had wands and metal detectors, but you could just show the sheriff your CCW permit and you'd be allowed in. I assume that's what they do in Texas too. Not sure what they'll do now that you don't need a permit in Florida.

Hah, that sucks. My bank app let me log in without a password on my new phone just using the new fingerprint on the new phone, because I transferred the app from the old phone. Course, they recently limited cross account transfers to $100 because they're seeing lots of fraud. No shit, right?

That's exactly the problem we have over here. You can't become a cop and change the culture. The culture is mandatory. They seek it out and train it it, and the ones who won't at least turn a blind eye to it aren't allowed to stay.

It's important to also point out that a huge portion of the population carries guns. There's no reason to assume that someone armed is a threat at all, and statistics bear that out. In the south of the US even most liberals don't think twice about the number of guns they encounter every day. The reason why police are a unique situation is , obviously, partially because they deal with criminals, and partially because of their confrontational and aggressive approach to most situations. It's not so much that you got to deal with a good or bad cop. It's more that you got to deal with a cop in a good or bad mood. They way they choose to interact with you has very little to do with things you can control.

Believe it or not, it's possible to act on a shoot last, ask questions first policy even here in gun crazy Florida. Literally everyone other than police officers do it every day.

Who eats a cheese sandwich with ketchup? That's disgusting. Now peanut butter and cheese sandwich? Perfectly acceptable.

This is basically why people self host. Then your phone is really just a client to all your services.

I haaaaaate progressive muscle relaxation. They made us do it in school when I was little and I have a mental block about it. I've had success with guided meditations on an app called insight timer. I've also had success with the worry box technique. If I decide I'm not going to deal with something till another time it goes into the worry box.

I had an account with a bank that got bought. Always used the app, which worked fine, but I needed some document I could only get from the website. Go to log in and it gives me all sorts of weird errors. Support made me reset my password, all that stuff. I figured it out. Old bank would let you log in with email or username. New bank only let you log in with username, except it had dropped old bank's username and put the email in the username field in their database. The website scrubbed emails from that field, and so it submitted a null username. The app didn't l, so it let me log in. Weirdest issue I've ever had with a service and actually figured it out.
