Well… If you’re fucked no matter what you do consequences become meaningless.

A lot of people seem to be realizing that the only reason any of this “works” is because we all kind of just agree to follow the rules more or less. When following the rules results in the same thing as doing whatever you wanted to anyway, there’s a disincentive to adhere to the rules.

Wew. Things getting spicy.

If only she’d gone harder right.

Did David Duke endorse her?

What a missed opportunity.

“per my last email” = you’ve critically failed your reading comprehension check and I’m real tired of holding your hand on this, which is why I’ve cc’d your supervisor.

In response to that…

Try this on

We’re semi-rural (multi acre lots often with houses set almost at the back of lots), this was my first Halloween out here, I was following the kids with a car cause it was cold and snowy. But apparently the other parents in the neighborhood all hang out and set up a flatbed trailer with a fire pit, lawn chairs, and beer just being hauled around by a UTV. I need to learn how to make friends as an adult.

Don’t forget Louisiana… My wife’s favorite.

Honestly it’s baffling. They wouldn’t have even had to actually do anything. They could have just let a Palestinian-American come up and say generic “we have to do better for the people of Gaza and the people of the world” type of shit and they would have even said that they endorsed Kamala. That’s it, and a shitload of people would have been at least able to lie to themselves and say “ok, she’ll do something different.” But they couldn’t even be asked to go through the motions this time.

It’s such fucking smooth brained reactionary shit, you don’t get to act like Republicans because Republicans will never vote for you, the ones that will are only ever going to do it to not vote for the current fascist, and their policy led to him.

I guess maybe the taste of David Frum’s approval is sweeter than winning an election.

I prefer Machetecine.

I used to call myself a “left libertarian” but to be frank, after learning more I’ve found that “anarchist” fits far better. And there’s a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I’m not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don’t understand that when you play in someone else’s home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there’s a lot out there, depending on who you’re federating with.

Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it’s a big red flag to me.

Kaplaaaa!

My wife and I have been abusing our Ryobi for like 10 years. I thought it was finally dying, but then I got a new battery, still going strong.

I always start with harbor freight. When I break that one, I buy a nice version of whatever it was. I don’t buy “nice” tools very often. HF is nearly always “good enough.”

Ubiquiti has had outages in the past that meant you couldn’t manage the equipment right in front of you.

Even discounting the potential security implications of that kind of management, the rage I would feel in that situation is enough that I while my AP is nice, works great, I will never use any of their gateways.

I’m using a 2.5g protectli with OPNSense now, and it’s easy to manage, and all local.

It would be a crying shame if someone were to figure out a way to force those e ink displays to refresh fast enough that it kills the batteries on those things…

I’ve still got my old Anova, Bluetooth one. I don’t even use the app ever, I can set it up with the wheel and buttons. Still works great after like 5+ years. That said, I won’t be recommending them to anyone going forward.

Capitalism has zero place in healthcare.

It can never be a “free market” only ever coerced.

Burn it down (the financial apparatus, not the hospitals, duh) and empty the accounts of the “owners.”

Just make sure it won’t interact badly with your meds. Grapefruit is weird.

Ugh. I can smell that through the Wi-Fi.

If you don’t think “it’s magic” after emag theory… At a certain point the math does start to read like spell craft.

“Yes, yes, but what ratio of turns do we need in the transformer?”
