My guess is you don't have a diesel vehicle or heat with furnace oil because let me tell you, what I get back doesn't even come close to how much I'm spending. It's a joke, now think of all the farmers, transport companies, they're getting a fraction of what they're spending on fuel , and all of that gets passed down the line. There's a reason the Maritimes got a break on the carbon tax, it's made heating with oil very expensive. And Diesel is taxed higher than that.

If you don't think the cost of goods went up when it cost more to produce the food, and ship the food...

Skippy will axe the carbon tax which honestly will make people like him enough to ignore some of the... other things he will do. That will lower prices of everything, maybe not to the levels of the beforetime because corpos won't let that free profit disappear but it will make life easier for many.

Undoubtedly, I just wish we didn't suffer for it. He knows how we feel about him, but he only cares about how the world sees him.

Because he's delusional, and he's surrounded himself with sycophants, everyone else in the party who thinks he should've taken a cue from Biden and stepped down has been moved to the "backbenches"

For the most part everything works together, buying non Deere implements and using them with Deere tractors is common. John Deere is a status symbol. Deere also does technology better IMO,, that being said I really have no idea what auto-steer tech Case utilizes, they have to have something because no modern farmer is paying attention to their rows that much.

Starbucks does it for me. The same notification channel is for orders and "announcements" which is essentially ads

But slowly, I filled my home server with whatever CUDA capable cards I have and it's fine for SD, but I found llama way too slow. I rented a dual A2000 instance for a couple weeks and it was bearable, but still not great.

Looks like ChatGPT trained their models better, probably before sites could take measures to prevent that. Gemini however was thrown together by throwing money and people at the problem in order to catch up and not be left behind. Which from what I've read seems to be their biggest fear.

My Pixel 9 has AI everywhere but I certainly wouldn't pay the price they want to continue "using" Gemini after my trial.

There are both private trackers and indexers specifically for audiobooks. Find them. The biggest tracker for it has an application process, read the rules and you'll get an invite. Usenet... I can't even remember how I got an invite

Someone important watched the latest episode of last week tonight. As someone with no iron in the fire, I'm glad there are still responsible adults running things from the background

It makes so much sense, ever since reading it I can't see the biblical story any other way.

So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

They have instream ads... ~~And it's the same damn ad on repeat~~ Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command:


yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
