    This is actually a very astute point. Little is actually ever taught about early Van Gogh. He actually struggled for years with his artwork and worked years as a caricaturist on the streets of North Brabant, which he hated doing. He almost quit completely but it was his sister who ultimately had the largest influence on him. In fact, his sister should receive a lot of credit for the existence of Van Gogh as the painter we know. On April 18th, 1869 Van Gogh was at his lowest point and told his sister he was going to quit and become a fisherman. His sister, realizing she needed to inspire her brother uttered the immortal words that changed Van Gogh's future, "You can't stop Vincent! You have to keep Goghing!"

    I have no clue. TV going live is the first time TH is officially "in the red" month-to-month as far as income goes (which is part of the reason why I'm re-trying w/ amazon assocs) but the TV server is pretty much overkill for even the increased load according to the load test I ran yesterday. Granted it was just some janky 5 minute free google search load tester, so, who knows.

    There are a boatload of people here now though. I'm far more worried about TH's server cost increasing, since the next tier is ridiculously expensive, than anything regarding TV. I have a load of options for moving TV stuff around and scaling it to say something like google/aws cloud for the DB/API. With xenforo.. not so much.

    I'm going to sit down in November and work out TH's financials since it'll be the "year" mark of the site opening, but AFAIK the site is still incredibly net-positive since everyone here is beyond generous with not making me pay for it LOL. So its not super pressing as long as thread live update doesn't start DDoS'ing this place :emoji_laughing:

    Yo, let me know if you need help with AWS. I've been on it for 4 years with 8ish different clients in some shape form or fashion. I can't code for shit but I know networking and infrastructure pretty well, especially virtual.

    Might I suggest a "Pie @ChrisTurk" donation tier? Or maybe a dunk tank?

    Semi-universal Javascript code for mTurk might look something like:
    Code:
    const KEYCODE_ENTER = 13;
    
    
    document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
    
        if(event.keyCode === KEYCODE_ENTER) {
    
            if(document.querySelector("#submitButton")) {
                document.querySelector("#submitButton").click();
            }
            else if(document.querySelector("input[type='submit']")) {
                document.querySelector("input[type='submit']").click();
            }
            else {
                document.querySelector("form").submit();
            }
    
        }
    });
    
    You'd then need to make sure that the script only runs in the iFrame for the HIT.

    Love it! It's auto-channel changing so even if my neighbors in this Philly Rowhome decide to get smart and change their channel over to mine, it auto-configures all three all at once. I used to get all sorts of cut-offs from my baby monitor, and it doesn't happen anymore! Plus my WiFi always cut off by my front door and I really couldn't move my router.

    The Asus AC1200 I set up as an access point was relatively unstable so that didn't help too much with our cut offs and dead zones. With the Google WiFi, I have yet to be cut off from my son's baby monitor, and I can use my WiFi all the way to the end of my driveway, and probably beyond a bit more, I'm not sure because I've not done a WiFi scan beyond that.

    I also like being able to tell if my 8-year-old is doing anything on the Internet beyond the time we allow her.

    Not really... I bought ps4, xbox one s, nintendo switch, a very overpriced custom gaming pc, about a third of the cost of my can-am spyder and started a Roth ira. Also saved enough for the surgery I just had. Just over 2 1/2 years for that. Now I need to learn to max the Roth every year, I have enough toys.
