So if I wanna do a quarantine movie night with my quote unquote "normie" friends over the internet, what would be a good program or platform to do that on? The idea would be that I can stream a .avi file from my desktop PC (that for the purposes of this post I definitely own the legal exhibition rights for) and we could all be on a Zoom call and watch it together. It has to be something that someone can figure out who isn't a giant loving internet nerd, but they are all B.Sc students so it's not like they don't know how to use a computer. The screenshare function on Zoom doesn't seem like it has the bitrate or bandwidth or whatever for videos, and obviously you can't stream a movie on twitch. What's a good platform to use for that?

Plex and just do a 3-2-1 countdown?

life is a joke posted:If someone has two jobs that offer health insurance, could they just take both and file with whichever one covers more? I can find some info if a person has two options for insurance (your plan + your spouses plan, for example), but I'm wondering about 2 policies with the same person on it as the main... person. Coordination of benefits is something that insurance companies do a lot when someone has multiple coverages. Generally one becomes the primary based on some standard way of determining it that insurance companies all use and the other picks up what’s left. It gets complicated but I dealt with it when my kid was born and she was automatically covered by both mine and my wife’s policies. If you google coordination of benefits you’ll find lots of info.

life is a joke posted:The only way to get out of the first one, outside of open enrollment, is a life event like getting married or whatever, and nothing planned for the future qualifies. I'm just worried that having two of them is against the T&C of most insurances and would invalidate claims from both or something. Being eligible for another insurance is a qualifying event

My wife and I have been thinking about dumb teen movies from the early 2000s. Like Scary Movie, The Core, What is the current batch of that genre? Like, what are 14-19-year-olds watching now that they’ll cringe at later but also enjoy as guilty nostalgia pleasures?

To save you some time, Kast doesn't work either, you can't play audio from a video and voice chat at the same time. edit: I haven't tried this with Zoom so maybe it is the power and the glory.

If someone had Covid, and were asyptomatic, could they still die? Like just drop dead? There was an outbreak of people about 50 yards from my apartment. Near a gas station that EVERYONE in this building frequents. I don’t feel sick but I don’t wanna kill my parents because they always want me to come over to play with my son. Edit: I guess that’s 2 questions somewhat related.

Near a gas station that EVERYONE in this building frequents. If it's doing something bad enough to your body to kill you, by definition it's not asymptomatic. I think there are some cases of young healthy people going from fine to incapacitated very quickly though? It's contagious even if asymptomatic though, half of the importance of social distancing is to avoid spreading the virus while you don't know that you have it because you have no symptoms. So yes you should be keeping your distance even from your parents.

Like Scary Movie, The Core, I don't exactly know because I don't even know anyone in that category, but Booksmart seemed to fit the genre of "send off/parties/existential crisis from graduating high school." It was okay movie; it will probably scratch that itch for you. It was kind of like a modern Superbad, without exactly trying to be.

Ranker says that these were the best teen movies of 2019. Actual teens known to me personally liked Five Feet Apart, Booksmart, The Tall Girl, and Nala from that list. One of my teen friends’ favorite movie that doesn’t have superheroes in it is The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Is there any particular reason the BBC, HBO, and two separate Epix channels are all showing James Bond movies today? Multiples in a row on Epix and BBC?

Probably back when those channels bought the licenses and set the programming, the new James Bond movie was still going to be released this week.

Well posting an Australian supermarket was a bit flippant of me, but it's a thing in the US as well. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Smoked-Chicken-Breast-by-Les-Trois-Petits-Cochons-17-ounce/145317149

I don't think I've ever seen smoked chicken packaged up like that either. Chicken is just a low-tier meat and itself doesn't retain flavour well in general.

I've also seen it at the deli in the supermarket. It doesn't have a lot more flavour than just roast chicken breast, to be honest.
