  • They could be. But then they would be a dictator’s military - all about looks and shitty at everything else. The kind that gets conscripted to be thrown at enemy combatants as cannon fodder to die for the glory of their leader. The US military is a logistical fighting force, that’s what they’re good at. Not dressing up and goose-stepping polished and pretty for nationalistic display.












  • Yes. Some services are not good at accepting existing naming conventions, insist on their own naming and sorting conventions, or require a lot of third party services that will unfortunately rename your movie to something foreign or otherwise completely wrong.

    It takes quite a bit of time to clean up titles and metadata that you may be migrating or adding from a personal collection. Sure, it’s free…but it doesn’t mean it isn’t frustrating or time consuming.






  • The problem with them is that it’s up to the owner of the facility to make sure they are removed and cleaned in a timely manner, not simply re-rolled dirty towel, and the machine was in good repair and didn’t jam.

    Quite often that wasn’t the case, so you’d wind up with dirty towel recycling or stuck.

    Yes, this absolutely contributed to the spread of disease. No way it couldn’t. I had a family member in the medical field and said that the reason we didn’t see them anymore much past the ‘80s is because they were unhygienic thanks to the aforementioned issues.

    So it’s not really the fault of the towel, it’s the fact that people are cheap bastards and don’t keep things serviced, clean, and maintained. It’s better to grumble and shake your hands dry rather than continue to use a jammed, soiled towel machine.
