Well yeah, one has to think to feel empathy and compassion. It’s easy to hate, place blame and ignore responsibility. I am all for peace and equal treatment, but those who refuse tolerability must be stopped.

I have always wanted to be a fire mage, but yeah, not worth the consequence.

I have a few firearms. All are unloaded. Every damn time I touch a gun I eject the magazine, and check the chamber. Alllllways assume a gun is loaded. I even check again before packing shit away just to ensure the habit. Now magazines? Those fuckers stay loaded. Same for the reloaders.

So, I keep mentioning just Russia and Ukraine, no one else, but you keep throwing in other examples. Ummm, you’re saying DDay was the same as Russia invading Ukraine? Seems France wasn’t operating at that time as an autonomous power. Seems they were in fact occupied at that time by another country… now if Poland had invaded Ukraine and Ukraine needed saving from them, you might have a point and Russia might be seen as a rescuing force, but that’s not what happened is it? Once again, you went off track and I was fool enough to follow. Smh.

The breadth of his jokes were astounding.

How about everyone respect the land they’ve had for decades and stop trying to rekindle colonialism? We’re talking about Russia and Ukraine and you’re bringing in other entities into the discussion? Try keeping the train on the tracks. Russia already took over Georgia and Crimea in the past 20 years, just a slow progression to reacquire the good ole Soviet Union. If countries really wanna get the band back together, they’d do so with votes or formal agreements. When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.

It’s their decision of course. I hate to see them lose, and I hate that my country isn’t doing more. We made a damn promise, and when it came time to make good, we half-assed it. Not enough oil I guess. But I also don’t want to see Russia bully their way to more territory either, as that just shows the world that they are still a threat, and leads to another round of russian fear for the world.

Xumo I’m guessing? Look for another streaming device. Anything with 4gb ram should carry you a loooong way. I just looked up the cheap 4k stream devices at Walmart, they support Jellyfin as well. In the interest of storage space over quality, most of my vids are 1080p, and they rarely stutter with pure software decoding.

Watch them retreat once Grindr states that due to increasing safeguards and transparency, all of their files will be released to the public.

He was indeed a badass… and a war criminal (although I admit dude was incensed about Germany killing his Jewish family, so I get it) But seriously, a mayor?

Disrespectfuly, Maybelline Vance is a tool, a fool, and a weasel.

Remember that those MAGA dumbasses aren’t just wasting money. They’re adding more power to Trump. Fucker went bankrupt six times and finally found the holy grail of scams: be the senile puppet boy of the rich corpos. I always thought W was a puppet, but he seems to have at least drawn a line at full blown tyranny. We need to convince these people to buy stupid shit again… beanie babies 2.0?

I’ve been mostly Windows free for 6 months now. I use Win 11 for work and I bought an old Surface Pro 4 with Win 11 installed to learn Nomad Sculpt. I am just too afraid of testing Linux on a machine tailor made around Windows.

Maybe you’re right. I’ve never tried burning blurays. The cost and error possibility just leaned me into using hard drives for storage. They last longer, are less likely to damage, and far cheaper. Even a used drive still has a few hundred thousand writes left, usually.

Point to point network. Fun fact, you can invert an old satellite dish and mount a wifi antenna in place of the LNB and shoot your wifi for a mile or two this way. Back when high speed internet was still rare, hobbyists practiced different ways to extend networks to poorly covered areas. This was one of those ways. Then fiber was run across the country and everyone got their hopes up… to see the telcos say “out of money, sorry, keep using our dsl until we get more handouts to install the last mile.”

Frisbee time!!! Wheeee!

This is the reason I haven’t thought too hard on bluray discs… $5 to $11 per disc…

I replaced my jazz drive when burners became more popular and cheaper. I could buy 100 cdrs for the price of a zip disk. I only had a zip drive to begin with so I could work on my high school projects in computer graphics class from home (ah, going back and forth between Windows and Mac in 1999… it sucked)

Did the AI submit a call to Life Alert!?

Unfortunately it would still be able to pick up the signal but the Tuner wouldn’t be able to convert the newer digital format.
