If that's how we're doing it, we should get more Asians considering how much we rely on maths. Because Asians are good at math, right?

It's not a great idea to stereotype people, even if you think you're giving them a compliment.

I don't think it counts as femicide, at least not my understanding of what femicide is.

The motivation wasn't based on gender, it was based on feelings of betrayal and/or personal resentment.

It's politics. By definition, it's political, not "seen as political"

Yea. I'm sure they will be humbled like the people of North Korea, who think their supernatural leader invented hamburgers and the electric guitar.

You're talking bullshit.

You have voting weight proportional to how much stock you hold. You are the shareholder. There's no legal obligations for companies to prioritise profits over anything else.

Stop with the fear mongering and hyperbole.

Theoretically someone with a lot of money could buy a large percentage of a company's shares, become a major shareholder, and then vote on company resolutions. If anything, owning shares gives you power to change the company.

Hit the nail on the head.

The game is designed around making you feel like Aragon or Legolas, taking on dozens of orcs in stylish fight choreography, and I love every second of it.

 

I'm looking for things like Amazing Race (all the spin-off countries), Survivor, Gladiators, Ninja Warrior, etc.

If I dip my toe into the Usenet thing, will I find this sort of stuff? Do I have to look in a certain spot? By this I mean do different servers tend to store different styles of catalogues, or do they network like a P2P system?

Apologies if I'm not making sense, I don't really know the correct jargon.

 

Is there a way to automatically create a playlist of more than 2 shows in broadcast order.

For instance, shows like Stargate (or I think Arrow/Flash/Supergirl) have alternating episodes. I really don't want to do it by hand; my Stargate playlist will have over 300 items.

 

Mixing Movies and TV: Stargate started with a feature film. Then a bunch of TV shows. Then some of the TV shows had TV movies.

At the moment I've just named the TV movies seasons 11, 12, 13. This fixes that specific instance, but doesn't allow me to put the feature film first (naming something season 0 creates a specials season). What about the X-Files? Seasons 1-5, movie, 6-8, movie. How would you fit that in to one section?

Documentaries: I've got a bunch of stuff. Some are traditional cinema movies, some are series, some are mini-series, some are TV shows. How can I have one library called "Documentaries"?

Collections: Collections are great. Can I keep them separate to the movies/TV? I don't think I want them in with the movies themselves. Can I mix and match movies and TV in a collection?

Concurrent Series: Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis overlapped seasons 8-10/1-3. Can I make a watch order collection? Have them in the broadcast order in one list? Including the movies?

Thank you. Plex is great.

 

I really want to get started.

I have a big library of files on a HDD. I will run it off my home computer, and it will be exclusively for my home network.

Question 1: Is it fine to run my desktop computer as a server and a client? I don't actually know how Plex works yet, so I may be describing it wrong. Currently I watch things on my Desktop Computer. I want to continue this but through Plex instead of just using VLC. If I do add more clients, only one will be viewing at a time. I do have a Raspberry Pi available, but was hoping to use it as a client at a later time instead of a server,

Question 2: Can I scan my media folder in Plex to get started, and then later rescan my Plex library after I rename files? I haven't reorganised all my files yet, a lot of them should be fine but I don't have time to do it all now. Some of them I may never bother renaming or reorganising. I don't mind Plex having to do all the posters and stuff again.

Question 3: What does Plex do for the re-encoding? I think I read that Plex encodes the video files. Does this create new files on the HHD? My drive is pretty full. I don't have enough space for duplicates in another codec. Does this process replace the files? Will I have to have my Plex drive only contain converted videos? Is there a process to encode from my storage drive to my Plex drive without disturbing my storgate drive? Space is at a premium and I don't want to risk Plex altering my media on my storage drive.

Thank you.
