- Comment on Trump appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast for nearly three hours: Here are the top moments 3 weeks ago:
He didn’t go to the inauguration and what makes you think that has a goddamn thing to do with it.
Trump was one of only three presidents to be too much of a whiny bitch, but the outgoing president is not needed for a new president to be sworn in
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 1 month ago:
I recall there being a LOT of those watches out that were “mobile data connected” for very cheap.
The catch? The mobile data radio was 2g, and those networks are all obsolete and gone now (I think)
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 1 month ago:
All of the wyze stuff seems to be decent, but not super premium.
The headphones are 85% as good as the Bose, but for $49
The scale is quite good, nothing even remotely off about that and it integrates with Fitbit just fine.
The Color smart bulbs have been solid. One of the wyze smart plugs lost its memory once and needed to be re-setup, but fine since.
The cameras all work great too, as long as you’re comfortable with the fact that the video goes to some cloud location.

Seems like asking for disappointment
if you want a decent cheap option, the wyze watch seemed okay
- Comment on In reversal, Virginia school board votes to restore Confederate names to 2 schools 6 months ago:
As an army veteran, I have always found the naming of military facilities for shitty racist losers to be blatant pandering and a poor consolation prize to the wounded sensibilities of ‘the lost cause’ etc
There was nothing noble about any of that shit, it was 100% about slavery and to be fair, more or less the entire country had been implicitly or explicitly involved in the practice from colonial times.
So perhaps the consolation prizes and TYFYS-ism of it all was warranted for a period. But that period is well over by now.
- Comment on BOMBSHELL: Biden Administration Has Been Hiding Intel on Location of Hamas Leaders in Betrayal of Israel 6 months ago:
How is this a “bombshell”??
No shit Sherlock there is intel that’s not immediately shared, or is shared with conditions. In fact, virtually all shared intelligence comes with conditions.

Virtually every international border on the planet.

It’s pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you — facial recognition is super easy and it won’t be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.
This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.
The only unlock key that’s (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.

I’ve mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.
Those shadow accounts would need to be ‘lived in’ to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices — border agents were extremely suspicious.
