I shamelessly crossposted this to c/dadjokes

There are some benefits (depending on where you live), but if it's not for you, keep doing what you're doing. If your family or friends give you pressure, you might need to have a serious talk with them at some point, but otherwise you do you.

There are some situations where there's a significant advantage, though. Adoption is one--most agencies will consider (legally married) couples before unmarried folks. Which is unfortunate, but it's where things are at the moment. Probably some other cases too. But if you and your partner are of a similar mind, you can go to the courthouse and sign the paperwork, and even have a prenup in place if you want, and it doesn't have to be a "thing."

It has been reported from some of the racier parts of the computer games business that inflatable sex toys are supplanting the cardboard dog as the Walkthroughee of choice - but for my tastes, they seem to present a look of perpetual suprise which somehow leads me to suspect that I have a dangling pointer or some such.

Brilliant.

That's awful. I'll take a crab juice.

It's also "heat" and "duck" combined.

This is what happens when you survey jackpot winners about the value of lottery tickets.

To be fair, anything that follows Gold/Silver is going to feel lackluster. Because Gold and Silver are awesome (personal favorites).

Upvoted because you are wrong

Yeah, I tried it when I was hosting from home with a dynamic IP. Block lists were a nightmare. I still do plenty of www self hosting, but I find paying for email hosting to be worth it.

Still a great challenge for anyone interested in sys admin stuff, even if just to appreciate a well-run service.

It's worth noting that hosting your own email server is more difficult than it might seem. The server aspects aren't too difficult, but due to the proliferation of spam, there are a ton of other things you need to set up in order for your emails to not be constantly filtered or rejected by other mail servers. If you're curious, feel free to mess around, but I wouldn't switch to using it for critical stuff until you've tested it very thoroughly.

Avidemux would work. I often use it because, as long as you cut at keyframes, you don't have to reencode anything (so it's fast).
