Only two super wealthy people come to mind: Oprah and Rowling. Both are bastards (Oprah mostly because of who she endorsed and her increasing lack of connection to the average American).
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 3 days ago:
Ok RFK. Let’s see you and all of Trump’s squad do it first, and make sure it’s public in realtime. I’d love to see timestamps each and every time he reads AOC tweets.

Cut it all into cubes, steam everything or fry it. Eat. Leaves, too if you grew it yourself. Just eat it. It’ll give you the farts but it’s all delicious.

Yeah, tell that to police who bust people with DUIs when the engine is still off.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 5 days ago:
I almost failed my first drivers test because I stopped at a stop sign instead of just yielding on a right turn. Still to this day it seems… wrong.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 6 days ago:
Not really. Most people around the world are pretty much in the same boat. The “leaders” of governments try to propagandize differences, but everyone is living the same shitty existence. Elites vs poors across the globe. Occasionally you get groups that are extremely radical, but it’s not specific really to any country (We see a lot of out of the ME and Africa mostly due to prolonged Colonial abuse, admittedly.)

Frontier new kid in town, big company out money as people switch. Faster internet. Republicans dominate the state but not everyone is mindless and few leftists/centrists dot the state.

Frontier took the money and said, “Watch us trounce the big biy monopoly here”

Frontier trounced all over Xfinity here because of this program. I now have fiber vs 300mbps (400 plan). So many blue dots around WV but the koolaid is in the water.

Watch your card on file. I had the whole enchalada once and loved using the music app and no ads. Card expired for one payment, sub cancelled, and I fixed it immediately. They wouldn’t give it back to me, and refused to refund the larger payment for just Youtube.

So kids can prank call during lunchbreak and call 900 numbers… and call the parents to say they got in trouble for inappropriate calls…

- Comment on A.I. Companies Believe They're Making God with Karen Hao [1:14:07] 4 weeks ago:
I’ll probably watch this later, but the growth of AI cults is creepy as fuck. The rationalists have a subsect group called Zizians that believe that doing anything against AI will mean their AI god will punish them, and have weird beliefs they should do crazy unpredictable things in life now to alter the AI’s power of predictability. Like a weird violent charged form of Calvinism.
- Comment on Trump calls US program helping boost internet access 'racist' 5 weeks ago:
“massive broadband rollout” but they fail to mention that that rollout cost $200 billion and was thirty fucking years ago.
If it wasn’t for the grants given I’d still be on Comcast paying $80/mo for 325Mbps on a 400 plan that was recently “upgraded” for an additional $10/mo without my consent (the upgrade was replacing 300+mi of lines that were destroyed in a winter storm, lines that were installed in the 90s). Now I have fiber for $50/mo, and Comcast can fuck off on their monopoly. Also, funny thing - their save attempt was to drop my speed to 300 and still have me pay $80/mo.
Also, kudos to the reporter for calling him Mr. Trump as accolades are for those who earn them.
- Comment on My First Homelab 5 weeks ago:
Worst part was after we stripped the carpet and bleached the shit out of it (dog urine). Saw a tiny bug scirry across the floor. Little did I know it wasthe beginning of a war against german cockroaches. It ended with gel bait on every wall, and 10 fog bombs (for my home size it whould have been 5) to nuke the bastards into oblivion. 4 damn months with those fuckers.

And yeah, it was a HDD on its side. No issues really.
- Comment on My First Homelab 5 weeks ago:
A mobile home doesn’t really mean mobile always. In this case, just moved from one area to another. A trailer home. Wasn’t bad either, 16x60, insulation sucked though. I had industrial laminate from an old shoe store, copper pipes, landlord let me keep a 20x20 yard and 400x20 garden, for $100/month (8 yrs ago). Paid $3k to buy it preowned, 2k to move, and about $500 in cleaning and repairs (floor and various things were free sourced mostly), sold it after 6 years for $3k with no cost to move it again.
- Comment on Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark 5 weeks ago:
It was an eyedrop that used a protein or something from jellyfish, that affected human eyes to temporarily see better in low light. Been years since I’ve heard anything about it. Another sensationalized “breakthrough” I guess.
- Comment on Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark 5 weeks ago:
Whatever happened to the jellyfish eyedrops?
- Comment on My First Homelab 5 weeks ago:
Hid a pc into a bar of my mobile home this way. All parts were either screwed into plywood or strapped with zip ties. I hated the wasted space. It had a 2x28" space with no door (Fixed with a scroll saw, magnetic close, and some hinges). I added a very small plywood shelf for DVDroms and usb drives, and just attached the board to the inner wall. Used a hole saw on the tabletop for I think 2" (just big enough for a VGA connector, and ran all the cords into the cabinet. Worked well, then I moved into an actual house. Still loved it more than apartment life. Coolest part was no one ever saw the door unless I showed them (which was great cause that cut was waaaaavy)

- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if you add an antenna and a small radio tower if OTARD would keep you protected? Gotta get power to it, so solar would make sense… hell, even a tv antenna with a booster would need power.
- Comment on Simple NAS hardware for home use? 5 weeks ago:
I conveniently was given a Synology ds412 by Amazon many years ago (and being as I had just been fired from the phone job with them due to a “mistake” in hiring me, I figured I’d keep it. Also learned that when you work security, don’t piss off secretaries while doing the job, even as a contractor). I still use it. Not powerful, but it serves up most video alright, and is ok as a download space.

Save a profile in tts server, then go into read > tts settings and change voice to profile you saved. I don’t remember but you may need readera premium.
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 1 month ago:
Download TTS Server, and change the engine in Readera to use it. Use the Microsoft Azure settings in TTS, much more realistic. Little slow though is my only complaint as it sends/receives a paragraph at time, resulting in a pause now and again.

We just pulled stupid pranks, like setting a repeating function with sound at the highest frequency in BASIC and locking the machines… on all the computers.
