They did that, twice. Even got a trial and 34 felonies. Repercussions? None. Honestly if you do your job and not only see nothing come of it but said felon has an impact on your job now I can sympathize a bit.

- Comment on I used an original iPod Nano in 2026, and it worked surprisingly well 5 days ago:
My wife still blames me for advising her to buy this instead of an ipod. It wasn’t as easy to use inho. It was drag and drop in file management and didn’t require software, but… ok?
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 1 week ago:
For me it’s news snippets, recipe ideas, 3d print ideas, and short form comedy. I look at it maybe 15min daily. Sometimes days without. My wife probably does 2hrs a day (stay home mother, homeschool teacher, honored caregiver). For her it’s the entertainment that can be quickly put down, little investment involved.

Or the fuckers claim they couldn’t deliver, or it goes on the truck, off the truck, repeat 2x, lost, then found 1 month later, or they back up over your pavers off a driveway that’s 7 cars wide, or leave your shit at side of said driveway instead of walking it to the porch 20ft away (one of these happens with every one of my FedEx deliveries) UPS usually does great, except the one moron that left my daughter’s $3k medicine by the trashcans down my hill.

And go a tbsp every hour or so. I’ve seen so many videos of people drinking shots or larger of that stuff and stating they inhabited the bathroom all night.

Just sounds like a quote from Discworld. Trolls eat rocks.

One of the coolest things in my opinion about radio is the ability to skip off the upper atmosphere and bounce a signal back down halfway across the globe. You can also bounce a signal off the moon.

I never could really get ahold of anyone to talk to, most Elmers in my area died. So I just use the license as an emergency line. Talked a few times on my HT, but most HAMs in my area use their cell phones nowadays.
- Comment on What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET 3 weeks ago:
The four repeaters in my area are run by one club. They do the Field Day exercise every year and from what I remember they run them around 150w per repeater. A small jenny could run those fuckers on 15gal a day fairly easily. In a huge emergency, though, you can relay morse on just 5w through 5 or less relaying techs to most of the world without repeaters at all. (1 if you’re lucky, but I’m being fair to real life interference).

You legally need a license for HAM, but there’s nothing really preventing anyone from configuring a radio to licensed frequencies. As for HAMs reporting you, if it’s an emergency the FCC rarely fines anyone if it’s for medical or safety concerns, were any amateurs to even report you. The whole reason for the Tech license for example is just to know laws and rules for operation. It’s damn easy, too. License exam was $25 a few years back, 8 year term. All the questions and answers are avilable online, they just pull (35? I think) from the pool of 400. Most is pretty basic rules of common sense and civility, a few laws. Most tech questions are just converting frequencies and basic math. They don’t require morse anymore (Thank god, or I’d never pass). And if you pass the Tech, you can go right back in for free to try the next exam level. I never use mine, but I do have an HT I keep charged in case of emergencies.

Eh, the printers should be swapped for laserjet to save money and ears. I don’t even know where one could buy paper for dot matrix printers either.

Are we considering the ending the last episodes or the movies? Cause if the former it’s terrible, if the latter it’s “I have no words for how the hell this crazy shit was approved for production”

Wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve used Win 95, but it didn’t have virtual memory as an option?

Yeah secure boot really fucked with me for like an hour. Then bitlocker stalled me for days. Windows marks it’s territory with asparagus piss and vinegar. Disable fastboot and secure boot, remove bitlocker.

Waymo didn’t switch to Sodium? I would have thought they’d use the newer batteries to save money.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 1 month ago:
Yeah the few times I’ve seen them set like that everyone is stopped, and just kinda waving people to go. I think it’s to do with power outage, and tye place I’ve seen it twice is a 4x3 lane intersection.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 1 month ago:
I admit I scratch my head at 4 way intersections with blinking yellows on all 4 though. Usually the bigger road gets the yellows for caution, the adjacent lanes have to yield.

Police and firefighters would love to have an excuse to go demolition derby on these things I bet.

Remember ever company that cuts consumer production over private ai production. When the bubble pops stick with the companies that remembered consumers are the longterm profit. For the rest, let their shareholders eat them alive as they sell every share from beneath them.

I figure so many of them are so old the drug test would come out inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily. Just think of all the shit people have to take in retirement homes then add in a factor of free healthcare and access to top tier doctors who can prescribe without concern over ethics.

Well yeah, one has to think to feel empathy and compassion. It’s easy to hate, place blame and ignore responsibility. I am all for peace and equal treatment, but those who refuse tolerability must be stopped.

I’d make a pull out pantry but also consider wiring in a battery power station inside to power the fridge during power outages.

This. I won’t hate on someone for their beliefs. I will not tolerate hate and intolerance though. I will judge you by your actions and inactions. Ya wanna worship TFSM, cool, wear your collander in pride. Go forth and show peace to all, I shall not infringe.
