You could tell that story at every family event for the next 50 years. Even after the picnic table rots away and gets replaced you can tell the story of it’s predecessor and what a good deal it was.

I think that group has really gotten popular lately, I thought people outside of fb would enjoy it. It’s a welcome change from all of the political news.

- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 2 weeks ago:
Problem is that Reddit won’t let people talk about alternatives, so it’s difficult to tell people about it. Lemmy also does not lend itself to following links if you’re not logged into that instance. So if you find a link to a community on a different instance you can’t comment or engage with it unless you go back through your own instance.

- Comment on What OS/ OSs for a core2 quad? 3 weeks ago:
I have no plans to do anything demanding with it. I have plenty of other PCs that can do that kind of stuff. I just want something I can fire up to run older software, possibly plug something into a pci slot, serial or parallel port, read/write floppy disks and CDs DVDs.

- Comment on What OS/ OSs for a core2 quad? 3 weeks ago:
4 ram slots with 1gb each. Looks like I could go up to 8gb maximum with 2gb sticks. They have core2 quad q6600 I think.

I had a nextdoor neighbor growing up. Amputee just below the knee, stubs for fingers, cleft lip. Loved playing Mario on nes and would kick his prosthetic off when he was on the swings.
- Comment on Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books 3 weeks ago:
The concept of the sovereign citizen makes sense. You never consented to the laws you’re being held to. You’re forced into this system with no other options. Of course only people who have committed crimes and lost their drivers license and etc. try to evoke their weird ideas in court. But how is that any different than the laws and standards they’re being held to? Laws are written by politicians, some of the dumbest people in our society, heavily influenced by the wealthy. Laws are enforced only at the lowest levels, against people just struggling to survive to “protect the social order” it might as well be the Indian caste system. Laws are wildly unfair and applied excessively to the average person.

Yes and no, when I check my actual IP address it shows that it’s somewhere pretty far away, I guess that’s where my carrier has their trunk connected.

- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Courts have actually said that looking back at someone’s location data counts as a search and requires a warrant. There’s currently a lawsuit recently filed by the institute for justice aledging that the use of flock safety license plate readers is unconstitutional because it’s a warrantless search.

So they’re doing to arbitrate a case on behalf of the store? Makes no sense to think it applies to their arbitration agreement.
- Comment on Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun 1 month ago:
Some stores require you to use the app for order pickup. Why they have the Menards app installed I have no clue. They’ve always been way behind with e-commerce, but their website works perfectly fine.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
A manufacturer once had to issue a recall to people who had gotten a recall performed at our dealership because one of the techs was throwing the recall parts away and calling it good. The original recall was for a connector under the seat for the seat belt pretensioner (part of the airbag system.)
A recall for a recall.
