Mildly reclusive American living in Europe.

Tends to get truculent about movies, music, the Oxford comma, and politics

I once skipped class to see Jimmy Fallon while he was in the doldrums of his career, doing afternoon shows in conference rooms of universities that can’t even get into the NCAA-II. He did his Alanis song. That was really the whole reason I was there.

So, I’m not a big Jimmy Fallon fan, but I just discovered he has a Thanksgiving song about stuffing the turkey. So, that will be the core theme of my Thanksgiving video: stuffing.

take that as NSFW as you can imagine

Have you seen the meat? It literally pours out grease. Fun fact: a main ingredient of döner meat is chicken skin.

I’m sure there is a range of quality.

Any döner sold for €3.50 contains largely skin.

What is “basic school supplies” for you? In Europe, there is a list of basic supplies students need and the displays show up in stores around July: things like pencils, pens, erasers, paper, binders, folders, punches, staplers/staples, paper clips, correction fluid… There’s a lot

Every revolver I’ve ever held has been heavier than a similar semi-auto. The cylinder is rather massive

I believe 911 will work without even a provider. I’ve obviously never tried it. Maybe without a card even

MythTV has movie/TV and music libraries, so it’s not too different than the other two. Also, you can use a tv tuner like TVheadend with jellyfin.

I used MythTV for years and eventually switched to Kodi to get more modern UIs. I eventually separated the server part with jellyfin to get more flexibility, keeping Kodi on little raspberry pi boxes as clients

This ignores the “without representation” part. England gutted colonies’ ability to govern

The colonial governments had previously had influence over laws in that their elected officials would advise the governors. England shut that down. Patrick Henry made the “taxation without representation” argument ten years before the Declaration of Independence
