For a while, my wife’s contact photo my phone was a Fowler’s toad that we found. This upset her a lot.

Now her pic is a gray treefrog we found on a leaf. She’s much happier as a frog.

Mocking up whole websites seems like a pain. With a Pihole, you can create different service groups for computers and apply a whitelist to just their machines. Plus you get adblocking too!

I saw an interesting video where there was some frame by frame analysis from multiple angles, and you can see a flash that seems to be from a gun firing reflected off a window, and when you account for the distance and time of flight, the bullet was travelling too slow to be a 30-06.

And my layer to this conspiracy is that it was a 30-06, but it was moving slower than expected. The (alleged) shooter said he grabbed his grandpa’s gun specifically because it was seldom used and unlikely to be noticed as missing. It’s logical that he was using grandpa’s old ammo too, thus the firearm was not performing nominally. This explains the neck shot too. The shooter was going for the head, and the bullet dropped further than expected because it was traveling slower.

What about 220 grains of fent going 2400 fps into your neck?

The ladder is kinda plush for her. Normally she hangs out on the power cable for the camera…

Selene enjoying her new ladder and getting a good look at her UVB bulb.

Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.

Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.

They do actually, but only if that child gets an abortion.

We literally had the guy saying “This is classified, I shouldn’t have this and I could get in trouble for it and I shouldn’t be showing it to you” to someone at MaL during Biden’a term. It doesn’t get more dead to rights than that, and he still walked because some little queen judge that he appointed was like “lol, special prosecutors are illegal.”

Props for having the chessboard setup correctly. That is something most movies can’t even manage with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consulting.

Mexico is alright. Never worried about getting stabbed there.

However, I did have to go through a federales checkpoint, and it was pretty sketchy having a few guys with submachine guns checking the car out for a few minutes.

Thanks for checking, fuckwit.

It’s the implementation part of ending net neutrality, the legal framework was put in during Trump’s last administration. Goal is to make your home network entirely managed and visible to your ISP, who has huge incentives (financial and otherwise) to comply with government requests for information and censorship.

Shift + F10 and running OOBE\BYPASSNRO still worked for me last month. Depends on what update of Win 11 is on the system (I think up to 24H2 is fine).

Otherwise, I’ve had success doing Shift+F10 and running ipconfig /release to break the network connection at the sign in screen.

More realistic option is 15 other Logitech wireless device receivers, and you don’t know which one goes to your current mouse and keyboard, so you just leave them all plugged in.

At least, that is my experience working in IT. Personal record was 6.

Still mad we didn’t rename it to Flavortown…

Or are you from one of the minor outlying Columbuses?

It’s more than just the hardware.

They screwed up by finally forcing everyone onto an objectively shitty OS. Every other time MSlop has dropped support for an OS, they’ve had at least two others to choose from, and one of them was passable.

They screwed up by letting AI vibe code updates, which were then vibe tested and vibe deployed. The last 3 “patch Tuesdays” have been absolute nightmares of system breaking bugs.

They screwed up by sloppily forcing AI in to every aspect of their OS, and then (allegedly) bragging about how the next one is just going to be an AI.

They screwed up by not recognizing that AI is not popular among the common user. There are like 3 people at my workplace who actually use it, and the main thing they use it for is to add fluff to a chat message to turn it into an email.

They screwed up by putting a “line go up” business moron in charge of the company, who then put more “line go up” business morons in charge of the projects and departments. It’s no wonder that the new outlook sucks and is not fully featured, despite being the “default” outlook for years. It’s no wonder new teams is buggy, inconsistent, bloated, and always changing for the worse. It’s no wonder why all the perfectly functional menus and features of 10 have been hidden by slick and useless facsimiles in 11, while confusing and clunky elements of Win95 still lurk in the shadows.

If Microsoft wants to get back on top, they need new leadership. An apology changes nothing, action does. The current man in charge and his posse of yes-men flat out lack the character and understanding to make a good product that people and businesses want to use. They’ve been coasting on the momentum of being the top dog for 30 years, but that source of market force is not infinite.

Jokes aside. You can build you own solar charging station for a few grand.

Not a lot of people can build their own oil extraction and refinement system in their backyard.

On the flip side, might be a good time for everyone to learn about wood gasifiers.

The one thing you are forgetting… Is that Tesla lobbies the regulatory agencies.

For another comparison, the cyber truck is 17 times more likely to burn you to death than the Ford Pinto, a car that is practically synonymous with fire.

Yes, as far as I can tell, no sane “ally” of the US has agreed to help.

Must be nice living in a country where the people learn from the last idiotic forever war that the US started in the middle east.
