I hate to see the users harmed but it makes me giggle that apple has backed themselves into a corner like this while all us Android Poors are busy ditching everything that’s not USB-C as fast as we can

He has also repeatedly suggested that Joe Biden’s administration discriminated against Starlink by denying it US government subsidies for rural broadband.
Fucking liars lying. Starlink wasn’t giving a speed defined as “broadband” when they applied:

Does it have better latency than Hughes? Sure. Was it providing adequate throughput at the time? No. And it’s pretty laughable that Starlink couldn’t even keep up with Hughes 'cause I’ve used that shit and it’s terrible for throughput at the node I tried.

IDGAF. I’d get buck naked at TSA if needed, just don’t fucking touch me. I don’t have a problem being naked but I really don’t like strange dudes getting up in my business.

true
I’ll let them take a picture over getting the, “It’s not gay if it’s TSA” uncle touchy treatment though

None, people are just weirded out by the millimeter wave scanners. They think the workers get to see their genitals.

- Comment on In One Colorado Town, People Experiencing Homelessness Can Sleep in Their Car — if They Have a Job 1 week ago:
Used to be able to sleep all over at least NEAR Frisco, but probably never actually in town. I’ve spent voluntary nights in my van to catch first chair all over that county. There was a community of vandwellers 20 years ago and The Knowledge was passed around for where to avoid.
Sounds like more and more local employees can’t hack the obscene rent in Summit County and the drive from Copper Mountain et. al. to Leadville is done by the bulk of the ski industry employees, because Leadville is much cheaper than Summit.

- Comment on Time to yeet your smartphone into the long grass 2 weeks ago:
You can listen live without a license. Baofeng is the standard entry-level radio and they are OK for listening and super cheap. They are decent for transmitting low power local, but if you do want to transmit the Baofeng is pretty shitty. I have a Yaesu FT5D that was damn cheap for how well it performs and it’s in the HandiTalk format so I can carry it around. I can also slot it right into a real antenna in my shack and that’s where it really shines.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
They don’t want to. Lazy, careless? Who knows. They zero in on one thing, type the one word answer and hit send.
Like others say, I bullet point multiple questions (usually with just a - , I’m not using a word processor to write emails) and if they don’t answer some I’ll quote the whole bullet list with whatever they answered and paste it back.

- Comment on What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 1500sqft condo? Sub $500 2 weeks ago:
Only vacuums I have any experience with are Sanitaire uprights. They just chug along and the more powerful one will suck loose carpet off the floor. I would say buying one of those used is fine, I own two right now, one I bought in a pawn shop and the other I pulled out of a dumpster.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 2 weeks ago:
I dig it with context. I did the same thing in 2001 when I decided to go back to my original career of tile and flooring.
I got into IS/IT in 1998 after a decade in flooring and worked a couple jobs until I found some wicked smart programmers and they made a search engine while I was “adult supervision”. Fact was, I bought my first suit in '99 and played businessman. It was typical dot-com startup energy, we had some crappy office space that I renovated with some help from my ex-employees on the construction side. Found some venture capital in our new smelling conference room. Bought a foosball and air hockey table. Some weird automatic coffee machine that never worked right. Hired a receptionist/office manager. Bought lunch every day from some takeout or delivery place on the company card. MANY late nights and we’d either chip in for dinner or I’d buy, because lets face it, I was riding their coattails. I could negotiate and write emails; I was a good shit filter.
By mid 2001 we sold that search engine to a porn clip website which is since defunct. Not fuckyou money but definitely set the fortunes of the seven of us. Those six guys all went on to do various shit and by all measures are successful with a work/life balance. They all have families now and the kids are either grown or still in college. The only guy I really kept in touch with immediately went into a large university IT department, he’s been there since. I took my money and went all-in with tile and flooring and I worked my ass off for 15 years. Stacked money, got a little lucky with mining bitcoin, and now I have a 401k and a mutual fund.
Now I work 40/week for another company and they know I can technically walk away any time I want at 54 years old. (note: the latest stock market shit may have weakened my position but I refuse to look during the panic period). It’s fucking EASY compared to either the dot-com startup or the 15 years after that. I mean, I worked 16 hour days on dark, humid bathrooms just to finish on schedule. 70 hour weeks setting tile will really wear your ass out.
So I guess this is a long ass post to say, “I understand the grind, but you can’t do it for 30 years. If you have an exit plan then grind away but if you don’t see that brass ring in front of you stop killing yourself.”

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
