I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside...
I got a bunch of DVDs my local library was getting rid of and there are a few very obscure ones that I would like to archive. However I am unsure how to get the data from the DVD into a shareable format what’s the easiest way to do this? Thanks!

It seems other people have different experiences. I find the caps mildly annoying as they do seem to get in the way when pouring and refilling, and they are slightly more difficult to screw back on to the bottle.
I understand the sentiment, but I think it distracts from the urgent issue. Right now, surely the important thing is for Israel to stop massacring civilians is Gaza. People on either side are more likely to sign on to that. If you make it contingent on any particular solution to the greater conflict then you'll just make people dig in to their held opinions.
Just bitching about Israel whether it's relevant or not isn't antisemitism, but it makes you look like an antisemite. Go and find a conversation about the war and complain about Israel there.
One of the parents was running around the drain making a bunch of noise, went to investigate and found the baby trapped inside. I fished it out with a hair net wrapped around a coat hanger that I taped to a broom handle.
You've clearly never lived with a cat. Your metaphor is crushed by the Kitty Expansion Theory: No piece of furniture is large enough for a cat and any other additional being.
But the whole point of the gag is to subvert our expectation of what happens when a princess kisses a frog. If the frog doesn't appear until the end, then where are we going to get our expectation from?
Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing....
Help is coming. I have to believe it. It's been a long long cold mean period in UK politics, and I know that Labour doesn't look much better.
But I've lived in other countries and seen other endless conservative governments come to an end, kicking and lashing out just like this. And I can tell you honestly how refreshing it is to wake up and know that today, while people are unlikely to make things better any time quickly, nobody is going to make things worse.

The "ethics" of most AIs I have futzed with would prevent them from complying with a request to act as a horny catgirl but not to worry about agreeing to write an inspiring 1000 word essay about Celine Dion at a grade 7 reading level. My reading of the meme is that it's about that sort of paradox.
Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?
