ShepherdPie,

He totally fell for all that NordVPN marketing

ShepherdPie,

They survived multiple giant asteroid strikes already. The issue is habitability for humans, but the planet itself is not in danger.

ShepherdPie,

That is what would happen. What won’t happen is “the planet dying” like you claimed above and don’t seem to grasp.

Home entertainment with NAS?

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a beamer projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of ‘always on’ machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though...

ShepherdPie,

What is your HDD setup using the NUC? Are you just using external drives via USB?

ShepherdPie,

How does your viewpoint differ from a MAGA/QAnon supporter claiming leftists are being paid by George Soros to spread propaganda? Like suddenly now our political leaders are above reproach and any criticism must always be part of a coordinated smear campaign?

I don’t particularly agree with the above commentor in this context, but both these candidates have a long list of terrible things they’ve done and we shouldn’t be trying to sweep it under the rug just because it’s “our” guy. That just makes you sound like a partisan sycophant just like the people doing mental gymnastics to defend Trump’s terrible actions.

ShepherdPie,

“It’s rigged”

“we have no choice”

“Don’t you dare vote for anyone else or you’re going to ruin everything!”

ShepherdPie,

Australia has some brands like Holden but they are just subsidiaries of US companies.

ShepherdPie,

I’m skeptical that it’s the extruder as it doesn’t even look like it moved during either click.

ShepherdPie,

What citizenship? I never saw his long-form birth certificate. Clearly, he’s hiding the truth that he was born on the moon. Musk should pilot Starship to take him back on a one-way trip.

ShepherdPie,

Alternatively you can get your record expunged in most states (except mine apparently).

IRS Announce Direct File will be a permanent, free tax filing option and invited all 50 states to utilize it for the 2025 filing season

ShepherdPie,

So how does this work in states with income tax? I can file federally for free but then how do I file with the state? I don’t know of any commercial options that allow for state filing only and have been using freetaxusa the last couple years (since Credit Karma went to shit) and still only pay for state filing.

ShepherdPie,

I’m lucky that I live in a town with about 2 billion taco trucks that are all insanely better and cheaper than Taco Bell. Plus, Taco Bell tastes like a Midwestern white lady’s version of Mexican food, which made it easy to avoid even when it wasn’t so expensive.

ShepherdPie,

We have a fantastic one nearby in a rundown parking lot that makes their own “crunch wrap supreme” with your choice of meat for $10. These things are probably 5x the volume and density of the Taco Bell version and you don’t have to get Taco Bells shitty Ortega taco seasoned ground beef.

ShepherdPie,

That’s already what they’re doing essentially. This person is just advocating for an actual human to review these rather than some black-box algorithm.

ShepherdPie,

I’m not even sure what you’re arguing for since you seemed to have done a complete 180 on your stance. You earlier said you don’t want YouTube adjudicating the law (by choosing sides in a copyright claim), but now you’re arguing that they have to do this in order to avoid liability.

The issue here is copyright trolls claiming copyright over things that don’t belong to them. In many cases, YouTube sides with these trolls and steals revenue from the actual content creators simply by virtue of them having made a claim in the first place, which seems to lend a lot of legitimacy to the trolls even if it’s complete fraud (similar to police testimony in court being treated like gospel). Currently, these cases are reviewed by bots, and people here are asking for them to be reviewed by actual people with real brains instead because the system is completely broken as there are no consequences for these trolls making false claims.

ShepherdPie,

Biden scraps Trump’s paint scheme for Air Force One

When their list contains stuff like this, you know they’re grasping at straws.

ShepherdPie,

And if they don’t, you’ll wish they had.

ShepherdPie,

People downvote you, but this is how we got Trump in the first place.

New Louisiana law will criminalize approaching police under certain circumstances (apnews.com)

Critics of a new Louisiana law, which makes it a crime to approach within 25 feet (7.6 meters) of a police officer under certain circumstances, fear that the measure could hinder the public’s ability to film officers — a tool that has increasingly been used to hold police accountable....

ShepherdPie,

You can be their leader or their mascot.

ShepherdPie,

Pretty sure the inventor of the “gif” stated that it’s supposed to be pronounced “jif” but he too is completely wrong.

ShepherdPie,

2.732 Firkins

ShepherdPie,

“Fast” means apparently taking months to build a floating platform.

ShepherdPie,

You mean like when they do military parades just about anywhere in the US?

ShepherdPie,

You still haven’t explained how this shifts the Overton window. You speak as if the only reason why they can’t get anything done is because of Republicans yet the Republicans somehow get their shitty agenda passed time and time again while making up a similar percentage of the legislature.

And Trump supporters do try to convince everyone that he’s great. That’s what the ‘G’ in MAGA stands for on the hats they all wear…

ShepherdPie,

Was it because you complimented the Brutalist architecture? They probably put you on a list now.
