Recently I’ve been going through personal strife and issues with mental health and finances leading to time management problems. In an effort to make some extra money I was late to work for my final strike before being put on suspension. Due to my union contract management has 3 working days to suspend me. Days one and two I left two hours after store management and was the last person to leave so they chose to not suspend me quite yet since only 1 other person is trained and willing to do my job and I was covering his days off. Today (day 3) I show up to someone covering my shift. I’m over half way through my shift and management still hasn’t called me in to the office. Usually they leave at the same time as me and we are a tad short staffed so I assume they are waiting until I leave to follow through with punishment. At lunch my supervisor approached me to stay an extra hour. Out of spite I accepted because that leaves management with 3 options:

  1. Stay later than they usually would to execute my punishment.
  2. Leave as they usually would and not punish me.
  3. Suspend me when they usually would leave and still leave themselves short staffed.

I’m excited to see how the end of my night plays out and will update with how they decide to proceed 😂

This happened July 4th weekend. I am a member and have a place in a self contained camp community. Nice quiet place with a lake and pools and a restaurant and things like that. I love it because my kid can be a kid like I was and go wander with friends and disappear until dinner time and I don’t have to worry. Our place is on a small cul de sac that is grassed in and we use it for kids to play and set up cornhole and all that.

Because it’s July 4th a bunch of people have guests so the park is more full than normal, and a guest of someone on the circle parked at the edge of the grass. Well my kid and another kid were playing catch and one of the kids missed the ball and it hit the parked car. Owner of the car comes out hot and going at the kids. Me and the other kid’s parent both go over to calm the situation. Obviously if there’s damage we’ll take care of it because it’s from our kids. But this guy starts going off about all these dents and this big scratch and a crack in the windshield and all this is the kids’ fault. I was willing to be reasonable but when you start saying you want a ton of extra work done trying to blame my kid I get a little less reasonable. So we’re going back and forth and then he says the magic word that if we aren’t willing to pay for everything he’s going to call the park safety office to come deal with it. Knowing where this was going I smiled and said yes ok let’s do that.

So the officer comes out and to no ones surprise but this guy the area his car is parked is a no parking area, so not only does the officer tell him to deal with it because if he had followed the rules and parked in an actual parking zone this wouldn’t have happened, and because they guy told him he’d been parked there for 2 days with no issues before now, he got a nice fat ticket and order to move his car.

He turned bright red but didn’t say another word and moved his car and we didn’t see or hear from him the rest of the weekend.

Years ago when two year cell phone contracts were still a thing and you had to pay per text message, I worked at a Sprint store in a busy area in Michigan. We weren't a corporate store which meant we didn't have access to billing or refunds, we were more there for repairs and sales. One day this man comes in fuming about being charged $.20 for a text that allegedly sprint had sent, probably a bill reminder, but I don't believe you were charged for texts from the company. Anywho, I explain to the man that we aren't a corporate store so I wouldn't even be able to access the bill to refund, and that was just UNACCEPTABLE and starts screaming. Starts drilling into me about how I'm just a dumb kid and people my age may love to text but he's never going to and how it's unfair he has to pay this charge.

I had just went to the corner store for a snack and paid cash, and i just threw my change in my pocket. I reached into my pocket, smiled at him and pulled out a quarter. I said "here you go, with interest."

I felt like a Goddess, it was so petty and his face... priceless. "THIS ISN'T THE POINT!!!!"

He slammed the quarter down and left.

I hope he's having the day he deserves.

I know a lot of people always say,

"oh if only they made the experience better"

or

"oh if only they didn't have as many ads, or made it cheaper" etc etc

Then they would use those services. However, it's just too easy, and I don't see how it will ever not be easy to pirate things. Even if they made streaming the best experience ever, and it was at a super cheap price point, I still wouldn't do it. What is the point if I can get it literally for free? Not sure if anyone else thinks like this, but there's no reason not to be a pirate, especially for TV shows almost ever.

Hey (lemmygrad.ml)

This started happening in the last couple of days and only on my android phone. I'll start playing a video, any video and after 28 seconds playback of the video will start from the beginning; even if I fast forward through a video. Playing videos through the web browser is fine.

I've tried restarting jellyfin, I've tried disabling NVENC transcoding and I've even tried restarting the host.

I'm running Jellyfin server 10.10.7, dunno what version of the android client I'm using. If I change the video player type from Web Player to Integrated Player I can watch videos no problem.

I've looked at the regular log and the transcoding log and there's no errors there.
