Which is the better media player: Media Player Classic or VLC?
  • On windows, I have been a big fan of MPC-BE for years. That being said, I switch to linux (arch BTW) and now I watch basically everything using jellyfin instead.

    That being said, VLC is the main Linux option, so VLC I guess.

  • Reminder: don't look at your phone when walking the stairs
  • I fixed my ingrown toenails by permanently removing the nails.

    Now I just have 2 holes that weird pseudo nails try and grow in (until I rip them off) that are extra sensitive to dog claws.

    I somehow miss the feeling of tugging up on the end of the nail, but other than that it is amazing not having the constant toe infections.

  • Chuck it
  • I once owned a ferret whose favourite game was being yeeted across a room onto the bed/couch/other very soft, bouncy surface.

    ...The other ferret would not come near us during that type of playtime, she hated being airborne.

  • I think I have tinnitus
  • I have had tinnitus all my life, and honestly did not know the ringing wasnt a normal thing until I watched an episode of Archer. Becoming truly aware of it was a terrible day for me.

    Generally, it isn't something that is treatable, but in my opinion it is better to have it at an earlier age, when your brain is more adaptable, as it makes it easier to adapt to the constant ringing, and learn ways to tune it out.

    If you need to, get some sort of white noise/nature sound generator and keep it playing during the quiet times, and focus on those noises. I find that tinnitus is worst when you are focusing on it, and the more you think about it, the more you notice it.

    One thing I have found to NEVER work is mentally playing with the volume/pitch - those sliders only go up, and stay up until I have focused on something else for awhile.

  • ELI5: Why is Canada Post on strike?
  • For an actual answer, the union is demanding basic needs be met, like a minimum 20 hour workweek guarantee, cost of living adjustments, cutting down on exploitive contract labour policies, and Canada post execs want to cut labour hours while increasing the number of days open, delivery hours, and overall increasing the stress and workload for staff without increasing compensation.

  • ELI5: Why is Canada Post on strike?
  • Here's a quote from the Canada post business newsletter they sent out today about the strike:

    Our core business is delivery. While postal services around the world are working constructively to evolve their delivery approach to respond to changing customer needs, CUPW’s demands reinforce the status quo and add significant and unsustainable long-term fixed costs. One example is continuing to demand that our facility cleaning staff and other contracted support services become permanent Canada Post employees.

    Edit: People who down voted this, why? It came directly from Canada Post, and shows just how little they consider their workers to be humans that deserve rights. The past 3 newsletters are all written with a huge "unions are bad and stifle progress" vibe, even though the union is just trying to protect the workers.

  • Tell me again why you need a pickup truck.
  • You know you can order vehicles from the manufacturer ahead of when you need it, right? Yes, there are stupid laws/rules in place that require a dealership to be part of the process, but you can generally pick what you want in a vehicle.
