Trust me they’re known for that outside of Germany as well.
When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be uncle Buck. Unfortunately my brother took that position (down to driving a shit car that randomly backfires) and I’m just a normal dude 😕
Me and the other Brave Little Toaster kids ended up a bit weird.
Friendly reminder that Ted Nugent shit his pants and didn’t bathe in order to dodge the draft.
Addicting maybe but they literally are not drugs. More akin to gambling addiction then any sort of drug dependency. There’s a gigantic difference between the two. Sort of bothers me when people throw them in the same pile as they are so much different when it comes to how to deal with those types of addiction.
Well it has something to do with election cycles cause Republicans will block this every way they can. So the only way for it to even have a shot is for Democrats to take both the House and Senate with a 2/3 majority to be able to make a constitutional amendments. I sincerely doubt that would happen. After that it would take a very long political slog to ratification. Which again, I don’t have high hopes for it to get through the States.
Election cycles are how people get elected, so it has a lot to do with election cycle leaning very heavily towards the Democrats for it to not be DOA. Then it has a long uphill battle to get it ratified by the states. To say that it has a slim chance of going anywhere is really overstating the chances of it happening.
Huh I’ve been saying this for years. Even commented it a while back on lemmy. hope they can get it through but don’t have super high hopes unless the next couple of election cycles lean heavily towards the Democrats.
Yep I kind of figured that’d be the case hence why I haven’t watched it. The book really was pretty good but I’m not sure how that nuance could translate to a movie. Also it’s been several years since I read the book and I’m sure my takeaway would be a bit different now seeing what he has done politically since then.

I liked his book. It was really good and could relate to a lot of it. I absolutely do not agree with his politics and think he took a hard right turn during the Trump administration. Before that he was more a centrist and could even agree with several of his non-social political stances. Since then he’s become an absolute wingnut and I would struggle to find a single thing we had any common ground on.
Has anyone else has read Hillbilly Elegy and/or watched the movie (I haven’t yet), are you as baffled as I am about his changes in political stances? It just seemed so odd seeing where he came from and turning into what amounts to a proponent of facism.
That would’ve changed Bullet Tooth Tony’s speech a bit I guess. “And the fact that you’ve got Replica written down the side of your guns… Oh and mine does too because this is a movie and we all need to be safe.”
You mean Linksys, not Cisco. Cisco sold Linksys to Belkin, now Foxconn, like over a decade ago. I think it’s a pretty important distinction considering Cisco is enterprise focused and linksys is more home/consumer focused.
Colby is named after a town in Wisconsin, which was named after a railroad station, which was named after Charles Colby. So, in a round about way, sort of yes.
Monterey Jack was named after a town in California and the guy who sold the cheese, David Jacks, so half yes. I’m not entirely sure the origins of Monterey, CA’s name so it could be like a three quarters yes.
Why would you need to defend yourself for ordering a pizza and being shocked by the high price? Sometimes I think I’ve gotten too old for the internet. People should be allowed to order a pizza every once in a while and not have to formulate a 5 point list of the reasons why it’s okay for them to order pizza.
Fixed. Thanks!
I imagine you sitting there like Scotty, “Give me an ip address, not no colon, not no hexadecimal, and not no bloody double colon. Just 4 numbers between 0 and 255 with a dot in between.”
I swear it’s going to be a generational change where it takes a slow adoption by the younger network people as the older network people slowly retire. Kind of like how racism and sexism has diminished. It wasn’t like we changed anyone’s mind, just that people held onto it until they died and younger people just said, “The future is now, old man.” and moved past it.
This actually connects quite a bit for me. I was wondering why so many weird experiments popped up about magnets working/not working in water. Like why would anyone think they wouldn’t?
