There are a few rare exceptions though. Like if your local drag queen is JD Vance. Mister if he's not allowed to make a non-nuclear family, then everyone else has to also not be allowed to do that, him self.

EDIT: I recalled another exception. If your local drag queen is Rudy Giuliani... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LOUHO7SVPM

For JD Vance in drag, it's a simple Google image search, before he makes it illegal to host those images

This comment feels the same as a humble brag... Only it's going in a very different direction. I don't know what this would be called, "accentuate minimization"? "minimize accentuation"? No I am terrible at making up words

You used to say it was the best country in the world. And it used to be arguably true.

I bet he wants nepotism to for succession, but that's not what his benifactors want, hence JD Vance

You can grow a banana at home. Dwarf banana plants can grow inside. The normal size banana plant is not living room sized, no wonder people think they grow on trees

But how many people drink coffee? And how many bananas can you grow for your self?

Why not? First of I have all the episodes as mkv files, they are high quality but indeed compressed.

Second, if I will AI upscale the episodes, I want to use uncompressed video files, and then compress them after the upscale. Maybe 720p would be more than enough? Maybe 1080p? I don't expect 1440p or 4k to improve the viewing experience much over 1080p

Lastly, in Norway, ripping DVDs for own use is specifically legal. The act of format shifting or making straight up copies at least of music got legal precidence about 20 years ago. I don't remember exactly, just remember watching the news. Reasoning was, for the sake for format shifting, or making backups to preserve your original. Giving away, lending, or selling your backups was strictly made illegal, except if the original is included when you sell your backup. As well you can't make a backup and sell the original without destroying the backup or including it with the sale.

One of the guys credited with breaking the dvd encryption was Norwegian. He didn't do it alone, and last time I called him the guy who broke thebencruption, someone on reddit yelled at me. He had the code printed on a t-shirt, and used it in every interview on TV. There FBI had an arrest warrant out for him, he even won an award he didn't attend in the US. The warrant was later recended or something I don't know, because he did move to the US in the end.

Final thoughts. I think my ps3 can be used to rip dvd's using home brew? I might not need to buy a usb drive if I don't want to.

Because they are protesting someone who wants to make protesting illegal. Better to protest now without a phone and a mask, so you don't get shot in the legg when he gets in power in January

 

I hope this fluff post will be allowed if I actually share some facts about DnD and etymology

Balders Gate is named after the Norse god Baldr/Balder/Baldur

Baldur in DnD is named after a legendary explorer Baldurian from Faerûn, name obviously inspired by the norse god's name.

The word Gate means street in Norwegian, as well in Swedish/Danish/Icelandish but its spelled differently in those languages

The word Gate in English is a cognate with the word Gate in Norwegian, meaning they stem from the same root word, incidentally they are also spelled the same way today, which is not a requirement to be a cognate, Gate in English is also a cognate with the word for street in other nordic languages even though they spell it differently.

Swedish still spell it the same as in Old Norse, Gata, which at the that point meant path, road, or way, which is how it is used in current day nordic languages, but you can see how the English word Gate is now used for an entrance with a door of some kind. Other English definitions for the word gate, like a manner of walking or even a path, among others also stem from the same root word.
