  • There is no spoon. Get bent.

  • was just a standard residential setup,

    The distinction is important because we are discussing IPv6. A "standard residential setup" with IPv6 would provide the user with an entire subnet rather than a single IP address. We still need a router to pass traffic from the ISP's network to our own network, but we no longer need NAT.

  • It'll take you public IP and translate those packets to use your internal one.

    That is NAT, yes. But that is only one small function that a router can perform, and not all routers have NAT enabled. You only need NAT if your ISP only allows you to use a single IP address.

    If your computer has an address that starts with 169, 168, or 10 there is a NAT somewhere in your network.

    That's not actually true. I can create such a network without connecting it to the internet, no NAT. I can create a second network, again, no NAT. I can then use a gateway router that allows any node on the first network to reach any node on the second. That router is still not doing any NAT. It's just passing traffic between two networks.

  • Well, you're not exactly robbing the cradle, and she's not exactly robbing the grave.

    Go for it.

  • Somewhere between Quartz and Topaz.

  • Ice cream needs to be served at 5 to 10F (-15C to -12C), so the freezer in your kitchen should be around that.

    Long-term storage should be -5F to 0F (-21C to -18C), so your deep freezer should be around that. Colder is OK, but not really necessary.

  • Plausible deniability. The real part of the security clearance is the background check they perform, including the interviews. If they find out from some secret source that you immigrated from North Korea, they won't tell you they figured that out. They'll just tell you that you didn't pass the polygraph and send you home. Your North Korean handler will report back that they need to train future spies how to defeat the polygraph, but fail to close the actual hole in their security.

  • Caveat: none of these are formal definitions. This is what I am thinking of when using or hearing these terms.

    I wouldn't call it an "urban" area unless I can see a privately-owned 4+ story building with an elevator. Government buildings don't count: they might be the sole example of a 4+ story building within 50 miles. Partial elevator access (intended for handicap compliance to the lower floors) doesn't count.

    "Suburban" extends from the limits of the urban area, out to where the farms or forests are larger than 100 acres. Suburban areas are primarily comprised of single family homes, but you may also find 1-3 floor apartment complexes.

    "Rural" is anywhere outside of both urban and suburban areas.

    A commercial or mixed commercial/residential area - that isn't large or congested enough to be considered an "urban" area on its own - would be a "town". A "rural town" would be a town not connected to a suburban or urban area: you can't get to a city without passing large farms or forests.

    A town won't have its own police force. They will rely on the county sheriff's department for law enforcement activity. Once it is large enough to have its own police, it becomes a "city".

    In my area, a "village" is a town populated exclusively by people with twice the median income.

  • Body cameras should be used as punch clocks. You're not on duty unless your camera is running. No pay, no qualified immunity unless your body cameras is on and running.

    Without a body camera running, you are not a cop; you are impersonating a cop.

  • Glad I'm not alone on that. I love reading about him, but I can't watch his videos.

  • Yeah, I read that. It's the 10-year-old part of it that I'm having trouble with.

    If she was 15, yeah, no problem, 6 months in juvie.

    13 with priors, maybe 30-90 days.

    10 years old? There's going to have to be some sort of special circumstances to justify incarceration. The severity of the crime isn't going to do it.

    You're going to have to show that she should be treated as a much older teenager, or that the judge is excessively, abusively harsh.

  • Most likely, a 10-year-old would not be incarcerated.

    The only reasons I can think of that this might not be the case is if the parents requested she be locked up, or an evil, corrupt judge, or a good judge needed some reason to quickly separate the child from the parents and used the hearing as an opportunity to do that.

  • Love and kisses, feddit.uk

    Ah. The original treaders. Now it's making sense.

  • Please tell me that you're joking.

    Please tell me that the original meaning and intent of the Gadsden flag isn't completely lost on America's youth.

  • If you have to ask, don't do it.

    The proper way to connect a generator is with a breaker panel interlock. This gives you a circuit breaker for the main, grid power; a second breaker for the generator; and an interlock device that only allows one of those two breakers to be active at any given time.

    Trying to use a suicide cable can get power into the house; disconnecting the main breaker would prevent the generator from back feeding the grid. However, the circuit you are plugging the breaker into is only rated to 15 or 20 amps, and you're backfeeding it with a lot more. You can easily overload this circuit without actually blowing a breaker.

    There's other problems as well: your house wiring is designed for two opposing hot, 110v phases. These are combined to provide 220v power to major appliances. Improperly backfeeding your wiring can potentially damage those major appliances.

    You are better off with a nice, heavy-duty extension cord than a half-assed suicide cable.
