mctoasterson,

Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS is looking like a good long term choice right now.

mctoasterson,

This is insane. They are trying to backdoor outlaw private sales without going through Congress. This should be challenged and thrown out.

mctoasterson,

Another important thing to note is that you only benefit from this if you have so many itemized deductions that you can do better than the standard deduction. The mortgage interest alone isn’t going to do that in a vast majority of cases. Since legislation in 2017, a lot of the tax advantage of owning a home was reduced.

The OP is wrong on every conceivable level.

mctoasterson,

Is there a way to consume these instances in an app like Infinity?

mctoasterson,

I will gladly review one of these if they wanna send me one.

mctoasterson,

The L85… which not even an HK redesign could salvage

American electorate: “Fuck this two party system that prevents real choice on real issues.”

Also American electorate: “Damn that third party candidate spoiling things for my side!”

mctoasterson,

This was amazing. I remember having LAN parties first with UT99 then with Counter-strike and UT2K4.

Those LANs were peak gaming for me.

mctoasterson,

There’s literally no market incentives for it to be otherwise. Look at the factors.

50+ years of institutions and borrowers alike trained to believe that education debt is “good debt” that won’t hurt them.

“Club ed” arms race of expensive non-education-related amenities, targeting students. Essentially it is marketing costs passed on to the student/borrower.

Heavy subsidization of student loans by state and federal governments.

Laws to make student loans not discharged in bankruptcy.

Constant implication that growing amounts of student debts can or should be “forgiven” by federal programs.

If you are the lending institution or the college, literally all of those factors only incentivize charging more.

Driving prices down would require meaningful competition or a feasible alternative. I have encouraged hiring managers to look at alternative credentialing and training for this reason. No bachelors degree is worth going $200k+ in debt for.

mctoasterson,

Probably a bunch of hacked together Python to copy stuff between fileshares. Bonus points if it runs with a .bat file and a Windows scheduled task.

mctoasterson,

I live in suburbia in the US and I can walk to 3 different grocery stores from my house. If I go to the warehouse store, I will drive. Between telework, walking, and avoiding unnecessary trips to various places, I try to drive less than 1 mile per day.

Density kinda sucks to live in, but we can all make more effort to waste less energy.

mctoasterson,

Its an average. Some days I don’t drive at all. Some days I have to bring a family member several miles to an appointment, or get something bulky from a store that I can’t feasibly move without a vehicle.

mctoasterson,

Question for Democrats-

Based on current polling there is a better than 50% chance that Donald Trump is the next president.

Why the monumental lack of foresight? Why create and expand massive federal apparatus that will likely be used and abused by your opposition, in ways you didn’t intend?

Politics is the realm of unintended consequences.

mctoasterson,

I’d like to believe its a combo of factors -

  1. The cars being very expensive while also becoming ubiquitous. They could get away with overpriced cars like 5-8 years ago when it was a huge flex to have one. People don’t want to pay sports car prices to drive what is essentially the new Corolla (default basic bitch sedan). Also any perceived street cred for choosing a “green” option was eroded because that social segment hates Elon.
  2. Tesla still has perceived quality issues from panel gaps to fires. People don’t like paying premium prices for products with issues.
  3. Tesla is still the Apple of the automotive world when it comes to things like right to repair and user privacy. Their vehicles and apps collect a ton of data and telemetry. I’d like to believe this one is a show stopper for more people…but based on the continued popularity of iPhones it clearly isn’t a problem for average consumers.

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

mctoasterson,

SNES 9x ran great on systems of this era. I spent days playing all the Megaman titles and save-scumming or scanning memory to make infinite health cheats.

mctoasterson,

Agree. Dude shoulda just enjoyed a turkey leg and a good excuse to open carry a broadsword on a Saturday.

mctoasterson,

Animal Well is the project that is associated with videogamedunkey. I will give it a shot for that reason.

mctoasterson,

This. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter how careful you are if your boomer parents got curious about whether they’re really 1/32 Cherokee or not. Now the data brokers and glowies effectively have a profile on you by association.

Also remember in most western nations the cops don’t need a warrant to steal your trash from your bins and profile your DNA, or follow you for days and wait for you to drop a cigarette butt or use a straw at a restaurant.

mctoasterson,

This and the episode of Hey Arnold! where Arnold falls asleep at the opera and he finds himself in Carmen performing the habanera.

mctoasterson,

Certainly interested to see how this develops. Unfortunately on the civilian side we see its the combo of Sig premium pricing plus “military contract” premium, so if these become available in the proper caliber they’re gonna cost like $6K.

I also wonder about the longevity of the barrels in there. High pressures necessarily equate to parts wear and shot-out barrels.

mctoasterson,

The Mooninites were the first angels

mctoasterson,

I mean a lot of the shit was refurb or overstock always. I bought a refurb Zune off Woot in 2007ish. The thing still works as a music player and is kinda awesome in form and UI.

Unfortunately I never got one of the “Bag of Crap” before they sold out, which I feel was half the charm of the site.

mctoasterson,

I’ve never used it, don’t know anybody who uses it, and can’t even tell you the URL.

Then again I currently only use Lemmy.
