Romance novels are porn sure, but there’s usually at least some semblance of a reasonable story with actual characters and the sex is peppered in where it makes sense (even if that may be more than would be “reasonable” in a non-romance story.

Fast food doesn’t use brioche that I’m aware of

Does the docker container have gpu access for transcoding?

Not just an official act, it’s explicitly a constitutional power which is given absolute immunity.

I have bags of davidsons English breakfast and earl grey, both are good

Can we get him to say something about the 737 max?

One of the best jokes I’ve seen is everyone with adhd accidentally answered yes to a fae asking “could I have your attention”

Bone conduction earphones will let you listen to music without occluding external sound.

Part of the reason she’s bothering to be that specific is for the “dammit ratcliffe” joke, it would be unnoteworthy except in a a”genetically predisposed to” context otherwise, but by being unnecessarily specific the cumulative effect of the joke gives a bigger payoff.

Essentially the “two nickels” joke but she’s allergic to nickel

Starting with a consumer NAS is a good spot, they come with a lot of upfront features that are designed to be easier to use for someone who isn’t already familiar with them. I have a synology and it did all the things you describe without issue (other than struggling with transcoding video in real time) and eventually graduated the heavier tasks like media and proper VM hosting to external secondhand mini PCs while still using the NAS as a network drive to store the data. The NAS itself includes docker and an easy to use repository browser that I use for things like pinhole or WLAN controller software, it has an onboard torrent client (which can use RSS and regex to automate downloads), and it has some other light hosting services, which it’s quite capable of. Starting with “just” the NAS and adding external devices as your use case shifts is always an option. Keep in mind that the best way of upgrading a NAS’ storage is leaving a bay open and upgrading disks one by one without having it do a “hard” rebuild from parity data, so 4 bays at least is a good starting point.

If you want to start with just an off the shelf NAS as an all in one device I would recommend making sure it either has or can take additional RAM (no such thing as too much), an NVME cache (more optional but nice) and an intel processor (quicksync transcoding, though the low end cpus will definitely still struggle with trying to turn 4K into 1080 for a stream). I’d be willing to bet most of the consumer NAS devices will all support docker at this point and have similar built in feature sets. Some of the newer models will support onboard 2.5gbe which is nice but probably unnecessary for a single user or family.

External access would be more of a job for your router/firewall which would use PAT to forward connections to your internal network, so that’s outside the scope of your NAS unless you’re building a true all in one box that acts as the central hub of your entire home network.

They’re outright stating the account itself is transferable if you are entitled to it, but that some content attached to the account won’t be, depending on EULA and transferability of individual software licenses.3

They’re basically synonyms and I’m not sure which one came first

I’m almost certain “ope” is a clipped version of “whoops” anyway

Waiting when picking someone up, waiting when charging, waiting because you couldn’t go inside with them (at least during Covid), waiting because they had to use the bathroom and tou don’t know how long it’s gonna take, waiting for an employee to bring you stuff (“curbside” pickup), waiting because you had to show up early in order to get a parking spot but the place isn’t open, lots of things

Cartoons operate under the rule of funny, anything is allowed for the joke

This almost certainly depends on where you are, I can reliably get normal prime shipping or even same and next day for 99% of non-specialty items

Not that Amazon making service worse for some is acceptable, but that it’s not universal

The only thing it’s missing is dedicated video decode hardware (which is mostly a convenience) and an equivalent to shadow play. Otherwise it’s a great alternative to a 4080/S

I bought a 7900xtx and have been VERY happy with it.
