  • I don’t understand how you thought this guy was being a dick just because he said “fucking stupid”…are you really that sensitive? He’s right. Keeping some clear plastic on you at all times, because one day you might have a 0.000001% chance that you need to use it to obtain fresh water…is stupid. It’s fucking stupid.

    There’s plenty of plastic already freely available out in the environment already! You’d only be adding another piece of plastic!

    Unless you … bring it outside of the environment…


  • Sex refers to 2 out of the 3 things you’ve mentioned there. Hormone Levels and Function, and Reproductive/Sexual anatomy.

    We can’t change chromosomes (and gene expression is essentially the same category here) - so it’s literally our closest attempt at altering sexually dimorphic characteristics. I’ve been told time and time again gender is fluid, can change on a day to day basis, is based on socially constructed roles, and the jury is still out on if it has nothing to do with sex, or has everything to do with sex. I’ve heard answers from both sides on that one.

    So it makes no sense to me why we allow it to be called Gender reassignment.

    You’re causing your own issues here because you’re wanting to name it all the Japanese way. I use AniDB and everything too - and it works just fine as a single series, with a single year, with all 25 episodes in a Season 1 folder with proper metadata download and everything.

    Jellyfin doesn’t see it because it doesn’t know what the hell an “Unlimited Blade Works” released in 2015 is…because it wasn’t released in 2015. You need to use AniDB as a secondary provider for Metadata, not a primary provider, because it doesn’t match up with how Jellyfin and other English-made programs work.

    Am I the only one here successfully using Sonarr to take care of Anime? Sonarr has the ability to sort by absolute/relative episode you just need a profile for it.

    If I really need to bother with any renaming, I’ll use “RenameMyTVSeries” to mass-rename things, and drop them in the folder where Sonarr wants; or usually just have Sonarr grab the anime itself and apply its renaming rules.

    Jellyfin is going to want:

    • Show Title (YEAR)
    • – Season 1
    • ---- Episode Name - S01E1234
    • – Season 2
    • ---- Episode Name - S02E1234

    I used to use MythTV back in the analog TV days. It’s much easier to use when you have proper cable channels. I couldn’t be bothered to pay >$140/mo for Cable TV any longer.

    So now I just pay $60 for internet, and pirate everything I wanna watch with Sonarr/Radarr/Jellyfin/Jackett/Qbittorrent and a $2/mo VPN from Windscribe.

    Honestly, with YouTube experimenting with ‘inline’ commercials, I think MythTV is going to make a comeback; because the big thing MythTV had going for it, was detecting commercials and removing them from the recordings.


  • If someone was born with a chromosomal defect, or something that has left them in a state of not being quite a man, or not quite a woman, I think they should be allowed to elect to be whatever sex they want to present as. These are the people who need these kinds of protections.

    If Gender doesn’t equal Sex, then we shouldn’t be using surgery to change people’s sex. You can be whatever gender you want in the body you’ve got; and society should just simply learn to deal with it. There should not be a crowd of people trying to convince others that they need to change their body to “fit” the gender they want to be.

    Let’s stop conflating Gender with Sex, and using these pseudo-scientific quacks to change people’s bodies on a whim. That goes for cosmetic surgery too, in my honest opinion.








  • PETG just is a pain in the ass sometimes. Really sensitive to moisture, and it loves to stick to hot metal. So it has a tendency to overextrude because of the steam, and bunch up on the nozzle, causing all sorts of havok.

    The key to printing it is just keeping it dry – the latest batches I’ve held feel like they’re way softer than I remember, so I suspect mfgs are putting more glycol in it than before.

    Also, do a sanity check and go back and print PLA from time to time. Sometimes you won’t realize something else is wrong and you’ll blame it on the filament, but something like the idler arm on the extruder is broken, etc.

    You can print it on Textured PEI, or Glass - but I suggest putting a little glue stick down to act as a release agent on the PEI - PETG and PEI bond together too well in some instances (ESPECIALLY on smooth PEI)
