Thank you for answering the question, although with much snark. It was an honest question.

We need the /s tag around here for even the mildest and most obvious jokes.

Work gave me a tiny HP LaserJet 8 years ago, and it was old then. Rock and roll. Toner is $20 a pop and goes 1,000 pages.

As to space, it’s racked next to my tiny server rack. Still takes space?

No longer working for me on Firefox, Win11. Now what?

Hitler was spoken of the same way as Trump. Haven’t been able to find it again, but there was a 1930s op-ed about Hitler. If you published it today, everyone would assume you were talking about Trump.

Bit of a strange post, but hey, OP learned a cool thing today. I use my Android when my home internet shits the bed. Super slow, but it works well enough.

Windows has (had?) the ability to share internet through Ethernet a couple of decades ago. I think it required a crossover cable? Anyone remember what I’m talking about?

EDIT: ChatGPT found it by inputting the above text. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)! Gods it’s been a long time since I did that.

If you’re a Mexican politician who has, in any way, crossed the cartel(s), you have to know there’s a target on your back.

My question is this: Do they not have access to government protection? Hell, even private protection?

I’m barely above average IQ, not a great shot, no formal combat training, yet I feel I could have fended with them off with my AR and a like-armed buddy. Again, I’m certainly no badass, but an AR with a mid-tier red-dot sight is literally a point-and-click interface. Some kind of panic lock and strong door would likely have gone a long way as well.

In May, the mayor of Santiago Amoltepec was shot dead in an ambush along with two other people who were in the car with him at the time of the attack.

THAT is different situation altogether, requiring professional security. But they couldn’t have a couple of armed men to guard a building? Just standing inside looking out the window? What am I not seeing here?

Police corruption will certainly come up, but I feel they have to keep that on the down-low, not, “Oh! It’s you guys! Come on in!”

Darwin ate every damned thing he came across.

No lie. No matter the order of the stripes, you’re going to come out with someone’s flag.

I will be there. I will be armed. I will carry a gas mask. I will carry water and medical for my compatriots. I will not start shit. I will fight back if it comes to it.

Boeing is straight fucking scum, but that was the strangest plane crash I’ve ever seen. (LOL, like I’m an export.) The truth will out.

Fucking weird, isn’t it? Another rant would be about where is all the advertising money coming from?! Imagining being a buyer, I’d have to wonder how well my spend would be profiting.

A couple of decades ago I played around with being a salesman. Top advice was to try this ad, try that ad, compare results. Surely these people are finding revenue from spending on these ads? It just seems impossible to me that there’s profit for all of these cockroaches.

I feel like you weren’t there, in that time and place. Or maybe you were in some weird pocket where OTA wasn’t available? Can’t remember anyone bitching about lack of antennae service. Yeah, it could be sketchy, but I think most of us could drag in ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS.

So sorry, but it’s been a few years. Took a stab at finding it, failed. You’ll find many like discussions here:

I know. Reddit is anathema around here, but there’s a damned fine, and sane, community there.

I’m old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled “cable TV” thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?

Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!

And one man walked away from that. The mind boggles.

That’s the most appallingly ignorant statement I will see today, I can already tell.

People always frame this shit as, “What ya gonna do against tanks and drones?!” Not a goddamned thing. But let’s just say the military infrastructure would collapse in weeks without civilian help.

I could go on all night, but there was an excellent post on /r/liberalgunowners that outlined dozens of ways to fight the military on the streets. Much of it was, “Those tanks and drones don’t drive or maintain themselves.”

federal employees writing essays of loyalty and praise

I’ll be the devil’s advocate here. They only need write on what they will do to move his agenda(s) forward. It’s not the dick sucking thing it’s been made out to be, but it’s still too fucking close for comfort.
