Yeah, somebody didn’t like a neighbour near us. Their garage had like 10 entries: Sausage Butcher Laundromat Loans Etc

Yeah we had the bundle from a big ISP, home phone, TV, and unlimited internet and 10 email addresses. As kids moved out etc. We dumped home phone, and TV, just internet now as a bridge. I’d move to another provider but I still have 5 people using the email addresses; and for mine I’m slowly moving all my signups and bills over to another email so we can eventually make an easy switch.

It was an easier time I think. Life was cheap and easy.

Early 90s. When things were cheap, because not every layered station of services or goods was trying to add outrageous profit.

Its horrible, it does too much prediction now.

You misread it. I absolutely do not support trump or his administrations agenda. I’m in Canada. But was replying to the guy that asked about the voting fraud people were talking about

Beaides stolen ballot boxes and firebombed ones, some data scientists suggested the way the data came in numbers/volume by region or some anomolies, suggested tampering of some kind. Since democrats didn’t raise a stink, I guess it no longer matters

Our ISP ships new routers that are admined from the cloud via a phone app. Its a disaster waiting to happen, so I told them I’m keeping my old outdated modem as a bridge and bought my own router.

Auto correct changed fam to FAM. Family

Jeez at 23? I was just getting my FAM started at 23, buying my first home, and buying a motorycle so wife and baby could have the car.

Never turn on uPnP for external use, its a way to let hackers manipulate your network. It should never have existed as an option.

As somebody that worked in a cornfield for minimum wage, it sucks. Your feet get heavy with mud, it’s hot, the leaves give you “papercuts”. One summer is enough to make you never want to do it again.

You could just Google his comments or listen to his podcasts he promoted violence.

Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been “repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show”.

Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

He was using Christianity as a shield, he was a fake Christian

If you mean as a permanent resident, then a family member who agrees to sponsor you (should you be unemployed and a drain on social services) is super helpful

Boundaries are good

Hearts and Rainbows. All signs of happiness and caring happening, besides the “yeah you can draw on my arm” chill vibe

I did a lot of distro hopping, but settled on OpenSUSE for a lot of reasons, but somebody suggested nixOS as I was sorting out a distro for my wife’s laptop.

She is bad with tech, and her 2010 windows laptop was making her lose her temper; with how slow and intrusive stuff was when she wanted to do work, and updates altering things. Her wants were: speed and consistency, even if it died she wanted it back exactly the same.

So I setup nix, read about editting the config and rebuilds, and pretty quickly had a config that included zoom for her meetings, libreoffice for her client stuff, and browser. Had to add a hardware line for the WiFi card. Rebuild, and it is exactly everything she needs.

It is peppy like my brand new work Windows computer. Which is both a praise to nixOS and a slam against Windows degradation.

The first one always sucks

Not Milk or Next Milk sub in well for regular milk

A job is about you and your employer (you do tasks they pay you compensation for the tasks), it is not you and your coworkers.

Do your work, go home and enjoy life outside of work. You have to stop worrying about other people, and the need for absolute fairness, life isn’t fair.

We have equality as a human rights concept, but equality does not mean the same. Men might have to lift heavy patients, women may be asked to console a sad person, senior workers may have become fixtures where they have freedoms juniors do not. Smokers might get smoke breaks.

Focus on you, and let everything else roll off you like water off a ducks back.
