At this point, the GOP is going out of their way to torture Hunter and ruin his life and image.

Deplorable behavior, I just wish the other half of this country would realize this is barbaric, uncouth, and not what this country stood for - because as it stands, we're teetering between a more socialist capitalism and fascism.

I talked to my grandfather, he isn't long for this world but he was clear headed when we talked - Asked him about fascism, as a WW2 vet. He has voted R most of his life, but thankfully he sees the writing on the wall at this point. It did take a little emotional damage though, his second great grandchild was just born - if things keep progressing in this fashion, what life will it have? Not the America he reminisces about, and not the good parts of the more modern times.

Call it whatever you want man, whats important is that it helps you.

Could you go into detail, even just privately, that seems like a solid use for some otherwise idle storage space.

Then again, the only part of being a scout (boy) that stuck with me involved fire or survival methods, and to always be prepared is a good maxim.

This has to be satire, right?

They can do it in their free time, and even barter trade. But from sunup to sundown (or whatever labor scale they use to measure shifts) they are doing something materially useful. No contribution, no food that day. Should only take about 3 weeks to get rid of all the slackers (and I say that as a slacker myself) either they've gone back home, or they've starved to death.

If it relies so heavily on tourism, why did DeSantis start beef with Disney?

I've been to Florida twice in my life, both to Disney as the primary driving factor.

Once as a child on a family vacation.

Once in band as our yearly trip to march in a Disney parade. That second trip wasn't a fun one, bit still the purpose of the trip was Disney.

Treason is aiding an adversarial power in a time of war.

This is sedition though, and if memory serves seditious traitors used to be handled the same way as actual treasonous individuals.

As they say, he needs a short rope and a long drop.

As a mentally ill person who dislikes cyclists (primarily because the infrastructure is not set up for it, at all; and a few bad apples who don't realize how fragile the human body is when ignoring traffic laws) I would never purposely terrorize or hurt another human being, even if they are slowing down my commute drastically.

Please stop adding to the stigma of the disabled. Its not like we chose this shit, its set me back by at least a decade professionally trying to find the right treatment, coupled with job losses due to having to prioritize things like just not killing myself that day, and its not a fun time.

Kali was built out as a penetration testing distro, though it does contain some diagnostic tools.

Not a bad place to start if you're used to Debian, but it is a rolling release so it may break unexpectedly, or have new bugs introduced with each update.

A persistent USB with just Debian could have all the same tools installed but have a longer support scope on releases so you don't have to update daily (bleeding edge) which is nice to reduce read/writes to the flash drive it's on.

That being said, I keep a Kali live image (persistent) but thats becauae its home - my first introduction to Linux was 5 minutes with Red Hat, but aside from a brief intro in highschool, I really started with Linux in Backtrack, offensive security's predecessor to Kali.

Yes, I have to learn things the hard way lol.

Check Hank Trill out on your favorite way to get music.

Personally in found it entertaining, though I'm not huge on rap music.

Knowing when to die is the key to a puzzle in fact, if memory serves. Possibly more than one.

I live in Texas and have since I was a baby, and was saying I had spent little time in Austin itself.

I've driven through Austin on the way visit family further south.

Worst parts of Texas mostly stems for the state level politics, but roads and other infrastructure suck, the power grid is a nightmare, having worked in a public school education is sorely lacking (and it isn't the fault of the teachers).

Can't forget the racism, anti-intellectual attitudes, and the fact that most people would be happy to have the orange fascist in charge for the rest of his life.

Austin has more leftist ideals than the rest of the state, and their goal to stay weird or whatever, is very gimmicky compared to the rest of the state.

Houston is just massive, Dallas has businesses, Ft. Worth has the stockyards, all their own niche and Austin is just the weird kid eating crayons for attention.

But hey, if the state flips blue in my lifetime I'll certainly celebrate.

As a Texan, it just seems like Austin combines the worst parts of Cali and the worst parts of Texas.

Then again, I've only driven through Austin, and if I stopped it was just to pee or grab fast food or something.

I've been on a decade long hiatus from multiplayer aspect of games - aside from games I was with people I knew in RL.

I only occasionally get a twinge for the comraderie of some epic raid in an MMO, or tight unspoken squad tactics where everyone just does their job as expected (not necessarily well lol) and came out on top.

But really, I don't have the time to commit to either of those.

Then I hear about my friend in GW2 (RL friend) who is going through some toxic guild BS and I don't miss it.

Everquest did this to me.

I mained a bard, and back then you had to stop a song and start a new one every so often...

Mathematically it translates to a button press ever 1.5 seconds, ignoring movement, other combat abilities, etc.

I also refused to compromise on spelling and grammar at the time.

I got real good at typing accurately and quickly.

I have lost a lot of that speed, but at comfortable pace I'm probably 80-90 words a minute, and the last time it was measured was a keyboarding class requisite. 121 GWAM for an eighth grader isn't too shabby. As long as I fixed the printer I got to play games in that class.

I was way more competitive as a kid. Physically too, if needed. Hockey and all.

I was a goal tender and if I let one past, I considered it a loss personally.

That drive left me with a record that hasn't been beaten in the league, over half my "career" was shutouts, and the only time we lost was when I couldn't play.

I've thought about getting back into it, but between the cost of gear, the time, and the fact that my knee would give out before a period is over really deters me.

Life protip: don't be the pedestrian in a car on pedestrian accident.

I mean everyone poops.

They even wrote a book about it.

I'd be happy to take one, should you still have any to give out.

Fallout 1 and 2 are 2D isometric turn based games, while 3 and later move to a first person perspective so you might enjoy the classics... Unless you just don't enjoy the setting - in which case fair enough.

One of my favorite maxims.
