DC…Trump to the moon to fix - Trump.

Stratosphere - blow all the CO2 out into space and fix global warming.

Schwarma after with friends.

Oh yeah, grab the great plastic pollution bomb in the pacific and hurl it into the sun then use fry-eyes to burn every plastic manufacturer on the planet.

I call total bullshit on this. I drive a (work-provided) Prius every day. This thing has some serious get-up-and-go…meaning as I drive it every day I simply smoke those (front) tires. I leave most “performance cars” (ICE) behind at the light. That means that I am tossing micro-plastics out at a greater rate than most cars. I burn though tires every 15,000 miles.

When I get a red light (remember, I don’t own it, it’s a work car) I slam brakes until I can punch it again once it’s clear. The regen-brake thing never applies given how I drive. The Prius is not inherently greener, it’s just more fun than the ICE alternative I had before.

I do burn through a lot less gas so I guess 30-50 MPG is worth something.

I love my green alternative vehicle!

Trump has always been a land-owner, he has always relished the thrill of kicking the poors out in favor of maximizing rent profits. The fact that this hits veterans hard is a BONUS to him - they were stupid and weak for choosing the “publicly funded military boondoggle special program” that is a “drain on our budget” and we need to “cut the fat” that is weighing us down. (you saw the tiny hands making gestures as he said that).

Best answer to the question here. Neither either of either is right (or wrong).

F-em. Late 2014 Mac mini plex server (also running all the 'arrs) still going strong. I’m not buying a new one until it shorts out and dies.

Carrot Orange soup - hear me out, this is awesome. Coarse chop onions and sauté in a soup pot. Add a bunch of chopped carrots and cook with some veg stock. When tender use stick blender to make smooth and add orange juice, salt and pepper to taste. My wife makes this whenever someone is sick or has a surgery and feels weak. It is a magic soup!

I absolutely LOVE running new network cable for stuff - it is so satisfying to run it in a hidden way then crimp the ends and use the cable tester to determine that you jacked up the RJ45’s and recrimp until it’s right. I have about a 80/20 success rate crimping ethernet cable plugs - it has gotten much better since the introduction of push-through jacks.

Tomorrow I am going to punch a hole through the brick out front to run a cable from the office out to the alley side of the house to mount a POE camera…been putting this off for months because I am not only dull, but lazy (I have said this to myself for over 20 weeks of procrastination so you can safely await my dull post about actually doing it).

My bingo card/wish list - Trump gets tied up in litigation/impeachment (first pres to be impeached 3 or 4 times…bring it!) until he is out of office (I suspect his Outlook is already set that way). Then, after, nobody says his name ever again because…let’s face it, everyone is just plain embarrassed that it happened - ®'s (D)'s, even whack-a-doo (Others … independent, green, what are those guys that think that everything is transactional…forget).

That is so freakin’ cool! The size of that plant is on display in its stumpy remains…just revel in thoughts of its original girth and height!

Ugh…imagining it’s majesty by extrapolation makes me sad at what I see that is no longer there. That makes me sad.

Don’t worry, worry-worts. There is an armada of data hoarders who will bring this all back after the purge. Data doesn’t die as long as nerds and geeks like me exist to persist the knowledge we have attained. Be of good cheer - nobody viewed that data before except a select few who cared, it is still there for them just not officially hosted by our broken system…it will be unbroken soon enough.

I ditched Netgear due to poor performance and went with Ubiquiti. I’m fortunate that I could afford to buy a console for management but if you’re willing to self-host then there is no cost there. You could then get several APs (they have some as low as $99) and you’re all set.

Generally start with crown royal and 7-up over ice until my 12-ounce 7-up is empty then switch to coors banquet (stupid stubby bottles) until it’s time to turn in - which is now.

I draw the line at whiskey/beer. I need both in order to watch the evening news. I won’t engage with socials until properly lubricated by both.

“This is fine.” (meme)

I suspect that the same majority of all shareholders of everything except “truth soscial” (I know, not publicly traded) feel the same. The value of diversity is proven and anyone who is against is obviously dumb.

As a long time plex pass user, is there anything there that would make me want to switch? Plex has just plain worked for me for years. mobile apps, everything is just great. Why should I look around?

My best friend at work is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. He will never not be - and I rush to profess that he is not an asshole…he just thinks conservitave/republican is the side he needs to support probably because that’s what daddy did, dunno. We see eye-eye on most other things.

We do not agree on anything political except that everyone is way too heated up over everything. We are still friends, regardless.

My point in responding is that his gay daughter disconnected from him after Trump v.1 - would not take a call or interact in any way. This is painful for my friend and he has been confused by it but does not realize why his daughter won’t engage. I think she is offended that his political choice doesn’t allow for her right to exist and, frankly I agree with her.

I think my friend has lost his daughter forever because he is a stubborn man. I hope your dad can open his heart to accept you.

Being of use to someone else - something as simple as opening a door or something as hard as helping someone change a tire on the road. That karma is like a hit of the stuff I don’t do anymore.

You realize that this just opens up room for 400 more books, right?

I went by the liquor store today to get a bottle of Crown Royal - as an American II was concerned about the coming tariffs but apparently they have been put on hold…I will need another bottle before we’re out of this :)

Yeah, you’re going to want to go with irc for that. Everything of printed words is there.
