Ha, I get this reference/know more-or-less where this is. Will be at the FCC (Cincinnati Soccer) game tonight.

haha, ya… Such well placed money there.

Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

Don’t we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

This was me :) live at about 900’ flew in for work, picked up my rental Jeep and drove up to pikes peak

Didn’t get sick but could walk like 5 steps at a time before needing to catch my breath. Hung out for a bit came down and went up to Longmont. Had a nice headache for a couple days.

Second trip out I skipped pikes, but also acclimated way faster. No headache, and got in some great hiking.

I removed my account a few years ago when they moved a bunch of features behind their paywall. I’m perfectly fine just using Garmin’s built in ‘news feed’ and tracking without giving my data to another company.

I made the decision to block it a while ago so I don’t visit it. In fact, it’s blocked at the DNS level inside my house right or wrong. Wish I could laser in on YT Shorts / FB reels to cut/block them. I wish as a paying customer of YT I could disable shorts from my feed longer than 30 days.

I watch a TON of longer form YT, and while, of course, there is algorithm in play here, I have 100s of subscriptions and mostly watch those channels exclusively. I branch out when I’m just filling time mindlessly or the available content is watched with my wife and she’s not here etc…

I’m sure I blocked tiktok when it was only short form. I also did it so my son couldn’t get to it. Until he got an iPhone he was completely prevented from installing/visiting it. My wife now controls this parental bits (as a fellow drone… Err, iPhone user), and while the app is not allowed on his phone, I’m not sure if he can get to it via the browser.

I’m old(ish) so maybe I’m out of touch but I don’t see anything good from any short form video. Tiktok, YT shorts whatever. I hate them all.

It’s like we’re trying to train people to have ADD.

I listen to a podcast that is generally quite opposite of my political alignment, but I usually find it entertaining. One thing these guys believe or at least discuss quite often is that Biden is being given drugs at certain times to “kick start” him for things like the SOTU. So, I don’t believe this is anything new.

Hope it stays that way.

There’s all kinds of people being born every day, growing up and becoming self hosting unRAID users. Meanwhile current license holders are growing older and dying off.

How is continuing to charge for new people to get into unRAID unsustainable? If it’s worked this long but isn’t now then increase the prices, or watch your overhead.

I’m here until my pro license starts costing me again. If that happens, I’ll likely jump just like I have done with other products I paid for that changed our original agreement.

See my comment about mental health :)

Sooo…

I get the crazy trumper hate and stupidity 100% I wish everyone could see him for what he is and stop following blindly thinking he cares about anyone but himself.

But an 80yo shouldn’t have to work or have had to work for the last 8 years. He should be collecting SS, and should not have to live in absolute squalor. But we (as a whole in America) don’t care about mental health or old people, it’s not profitable.

The loving trump stuff can be tied to him not being mentally sound but it shouldn’t have anything to do with an 80yo getting money he likely paid into SS back out in retirement.

Then there’s this… Used to live in Florence so Y’all is pretty normal around there

Haha, I mean I get it… Giving away money to uncle sam sucks but I agree with your sentiment. They are coming out ahead, that house was an investment that is paying dividends. I am hoping to have that problem some day!

My comment was about how in my opinion apnews did a pretty poor job with that story overall. I’m not a school administer so I have no desire to try to work out what appropriate high school punishments for various instances of breaking rules should be. I stand by my original comment on that subject.

“I am not going to comment on whether the punishment fit the crime, there’s not enough detail about that in the story.”

Edit: I will say this, The consequences must not have been harsh enough to stop her from going into the bathroom and vaping. And if they weren’t, how bad do you have to make the punishment before her, an apparently smart kid, stop breaking the zero tolerance rule?

Ya, so this is apnews… If they’re going to talk about these consequences and how she was impacted the reader shouldn’t have to guess about details that matter.

That was part of the problem with the story. How many times had this person been caught? The story doesn’t include that info. Kids push back, so the consequences need to be such that they are harsh enough to deter, without obviously ruining their lives. Seems that Ailiyah still got her scholarship, and that it mostly impacted her being able to participate in extracurricular activities in school
