Had an MRI yesterday. I'm feeling okay, but kind of nervous waiting on results. Probably won't get them til later next week either. I love waiting to hear if I'm going to need surgery or not :P

I have a plex server but have only used it locally for my own media. Turns out I can (for whatever reason) stream shows via plex.tv - however I had to turn off my adblocker for it to be anything but audio on a white screen. I'd be curious to know what their monetization is. I'll watch an episode and see if I get a bunch of ads or something.

EDIT: Well, it tried to play an ad, but the ad never came on. Presumably one of my other addons prevented it.

I came into the comments to see if there actually were people who read everything out loud.

Apparently I completely failed to understand the meaning of 'Silent Reader' OP was using :D

I liked this article, it explains the situation and achieves it's educational goals quite well. I still think using 'whiteness' as a term is a bad "PR" move as it (imo needlessly) puts people on the defensive before you can even attempt to explain the situation to them, but whatever - it's not that big a of a deal.

I seem to get delayed any time I cross the US border for 'extra inspection' or whatever. Stuff like this makes me wonder if there's actually a specific reason and it's not just coincidence.
