  • Unless I kissed something, those people he fired are still fired. The people he deported are still deported. What does my belief, or lack thereof, accomplish? “Don’t believe him,” might be good advice for the people tasked with announcing or carrying out his illegal orders, but those orders are still real and are still happening. If those people don’t believe him and refuse to carry out those orders, then we’re getting somewhere. But you and me and everyone else in this thread? I don’t see how our beliefs are going to counter the damage being done.











  • I remember seeing some research draw this conclusion as well, but IMO it’s the wrong conclusion since a lot of the data in the studies I saw seemed to indicate the issues stemmed from the actual switch, not whether we did things an hour earlier or later. It’s that transition period that fucks things up. While I’d prefer permanent DST, I don’t care that much. I just want the endless, stupid dance to stop and never switch again.









  • That’s the file structure of a Blu-ray disc that’s been unencrypted. Get MakeMKV and open the main directory using that software. It will read it as if you’ve given it an actual Blu-ray disc. It will show you the available video files. The largest one will be the movie, so if you want, you can select only that from the list and it will rip it out of the file structure and give you an mkv file of the movie. It’ll be large because it’s not compressed, so to save space, you can use Handbrake or ffmpeg if you’re nice with command lines to encode it to your favorite codec.
