Could connect the tv to the guest wifi network which would prevent it from accessing your local network. Plug in an android tv box of some variety and connect that to the network and you can cut the tv off f4om internet entirely.

If you set the pihole as your primary DNS on your router then all network traffic goes that way anyway. Set up google as a secondary in case your pihole goes down. Or configure a second pi hole for resilience and set that as the backup.

The order of events.

Man picks up drink. = normal with no context

Woman tries to take it = odd with no context

Man splashes drink in her face = bit of an over reaction with no context

Woman goes to attack man = dramatic escalation, but no context

Man pushes woman away = self defence

Man kicks woman whist she is down = awful. Terrible thing to do. Still no context.

Man goes to leave = should have just left

Woman grabs bottle and some words are exchanged = escalation/self defence depending on the context

Man pushes women down again and leaves. = self defence followed by de escalation.

I still think it is more likely the man is in the wrong. But given what actually happened you cant claim self defence when you started the fight.

At least thats how it looks with no context.

Would you feel the same if she had actually managed to hit him when she tried to attack him. Would him pushing her down seem more justified in your opinion? Or is there really no way you could view this any differently?

AGAIN! i am on her side. I am just not on yours.

Sorry, i wasn't clear enough.

As far as we can tell this man is at fault. He has assaulted this woman.

I was only pointing out that your blanket statement that there is no context in which this is justified is incorrect. And frankly the attitude is dangerous. Is there any context where the woman can pick up a glass bottle to use as a weapon? Considering the level of harm a glass bottle would cause? Perhaps the justification is she is being attacked by a man that is apparently much stronger than she is? Does that justify it? Or does it only work one way?

Again. I agree. Given all available evidence, it seems this man has unjustly assaulted this woman. But your attitude towards this is just basic.

Not siding with him, it seems likely he was in the wrong. But regarding your comment. Hypothetically, let's say he is the recipient of constant abuse. Both verbal and physical, and this was him finally snapping and giving it back. Let's say he has been on the receiving end of his fair share of kicks whilst down. Let's say he previously never wanted to fight back because he isn't violent.

I am not saying that is what happened. But i am saying you cant say "there isn't acceptable context" when it took me 5 seconds to think of some.

You whole argument seems to be "we didnt think it was bad in the past, so its not bad in the present and wont be in the future"

Its such a weak point of view. When we learn something is bad for us we should take steps to stop it. Regardless of whether or not we once thought it would be the best thing ever.

We grow. Priorities change. Fancy graphics got fancy enough that people stopped caring. Games got less fun so people took it upon themselves to fix that. A high number of indie games have done the rounds and made millions. Because they are actually fun.

You are right that we used to be happy when better gfx came along and we all would gladly shell out for the latest nvidia card. But those were different times. Back th3n we could afford it. Back then gfx were bad and every new generation actually made a tangeble and noticeable improvement.

These days there is barely a difference between a ps4 and ps5.

So stfu. Because you are just wrong.

Have you heard of the idea of vegan plus bacon? Something like someone said i would go vegan but i just love bacon. And the response was, ok, go vegan plus bacon.

Basically don't think of it as all or nothing. Being as vegan as you possibly can is better than not trying. Imperfect veganism still makes a difference.

I am working out a diet that is primarily vegan but get to keep chicken for now. Until i figure out something else to replace it. Also sometimes pork, but only sometimes.

If everyone did it there would be far less need for factory farming, harmful inhumane killing of animals and damage to the environment as we would all be eating sustainable and environmentally friendlier foods. Just with some bacon.

I once had a discussion with two co workers over the use of the word boomer. I said its a broad term that whilst directed at an individual who is acting in a short sighted, bigoted, selfish way, someone resistant to change, it is a broader group of people you are using to insult them. Boomer refers to people born at a certain time during the baby boom. Being born them isn't what makes a person act like a "boomer" thats something specific to them. Even if it is common amongst people from that time.

So by using "boomer" to mean resistant to change, racist, bigoted, small minded etc you are applying those traits to every person from that time. Even if thats not what you mean. It paints boomers in a negative way.

If you think someone is racist, then call them racist. If you think they are bigoted, then call them bigoted.

Stop lumping an entire generation into an insult to throw at a prick.

Be specific with your insults if the recipient deserves it.

Does that align with you views?

I found that bottles is quite good. It creates all the WINE prefixes etc and can run exe installers from there. I needed to use it to get ableton live to work and that was the method that worked.

Because the roads are busier as people are trying to get there for the same time as you. If you leave later you are joining the end of that traffic, as it dies down. If you leave earlier you just become part of that traffic.

Either way, you are getting there at 8.05
