Indeed, but if it makes you feel better, our last visible crisis ended 10 years ago. incidentally, they still have lead pipes going to hundreds of houses there…

Unfortunately a LOT of water distribution in the US is done in lead pips, That’s the whole damn flint water crisis. They don’t replace them because left undisturbed they’re not shedding at a dangerous rate, but once you fuck around with flow and pressure, it gets bad real quick.

I’m pretty resistant to alcohol and numbing medications. I could do two double shots and just barely have the edge taken off.

Of course, I’d not even consider drinking to ease nerves, and there’s no f’ing way I’d be doing shots in my car; that’s a great way to get a DUI in most places.

I strongly suspect this jackal doesn’t predate cars.

I also strongly suggest kids preferred not to play in the ditches we used to call streets before cars.

try adding

client_body_buffer_size 0; above proxy_request_buffering off;

I haven’t used it in a number of months.

It works as a short video delivery tool, but it’s filtering is almost non-existent.

At the very least, let me limit what I see on a language basis.

The lightning in the bottle for shorts is providing you what you like to see and refining that list to make it even better.

It’s also what makes shorts platforms so addictive.

How many things have been able to jump through secure boot uefi?

Gives a list

I don’t think people need to worry about

I’m sorry exactly how wrong do you have to be before you accept it’s a fucking bad idea?

1st gen Chevy volt will hold a 10" item that way :)

I would fucking by the real version of that.

conditions:

No more than one computer.
Rolling chassis frame with a hitch.
Left hand drive.
Good HVAC with front and rear vents.
Physical controls for everything, giant central screen, no cellular.

Enough to warrant sufficient caution.

Make sure you’re not running out of ram or disk space.

They do require you to sign up with at least one device that has a cellular ID.

There are four people in my family and only three phones. My wife, my one kid and I use signal religiously. When the youngest became of age to be able to handle typing and reading, we decided we would add him on. First I tried using his tablet to create the account. It straight up didn’t work. I started screwing around with it and eventually loaded up my Google Voice account over there. I could get it SMS me once. But the account kept stopping. So I flipped it back over to my real phone and tried to sign him up from that with my Google Voice account. It kept commingling his account in my account together. Turns out underneath the sheets it’s using the digital ID of my cell phone, whenever I would flip back to my account, his account would eventually stop working.

At some point we got him a cellular watch and I was able to use the SMS on that to make the account and it was fine.

I’d like to think they’re only using that to make sure people don’t make unlimited multiple spam accounts, but requiring a cellular IMEI like number to make a signal account is kind of extra creepy.

Dual boot isn’t really a great idea for that. Too many root kits and worse sitting out there. You’re always a zero day away from getting fucked over.

I think the ideal scenario would be to have a box just for the cracked stuff. Don’t use that box to log into your real mail or your Steam account or anything.

For most people, gaming is easily the most heavy, slush, stressful thing their computer goes through, so just do all your other work on something less powerful and only run hacked shit on your more expensive box and keep it on isolation network.

I don’t trust a box full of cracked software any more or less than I trust my microwave that refuses to keep time unless it’s connected to Wi-Fi.

I rented a Rogue in Vegas for a week. Every damned stoplight, ac slowly gets warmer, actually starts putting out warm moist air. Some of those longer lights out there were miserable. I finally found the button and made it stay on and spent that extra $0.97 on not being miserable.

All I wanted to see is what activity over time was going on with my server and who was doing it. For that, it was clutch. YMMV

It’s so strange, when my mother used to tell me we were going shopping it was just misery. We were going to k-mart or woolworths where she would stop and look at every piece of clothing in the store. twice.

In the end she’d buy nothing, or one thing. Hours of time before devices, I was left alone in the toys section where i’d have seen everything of interest in 5 minutes.

Wife or I go shopping, it’s a surgical strike. The first acceptable item, bought, and extracted.

God let’s hope not, I’d have said that about Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey too.

Song of the south, there was plenty.

I had a boss in a development job once, post dot com that made the pointy haired boss look like a genius. He wasn’t just uneducated, he was mean and sometimes awful.

One of his favorite games was three options. For every task he wanted three options to do it. Once you gave him three, he would pick what he deemed the worst of the three just to watch people squirm.

One day after a particularly uninspired rant, one of the devs waited till he went to lunch and threw his keys into the recycling shredder box. I never went that far myself, but I fully understood it.
