It's a bad band for cellular. It's short-range and shit at penetration.

It's really not even that good for wifi unless you're close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.

Yeah. I'm not going to any celebrations of the country this weekend. I don't have it in me to be patriotic right now. It's wild how far we've fallen in the past decade. And flabbergasting how much further we fell over the last 6 months.

I never thought I'd literally be stocking up on ammunition over political shifts in the US. That's what the crazies on the right do.

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up."

Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci."

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum.

Curtains.

The timeline in the article doesn't line up with that picture.

Sounds like there was a nasty divorce in 2015 between the parents, including a restraining order.

Are the instructions in a basement lavatory marked "beware of the leopard"?

I don't see what the big deal is.

I regularly launch artillery strikes on the local food bank to make sure everything is orderly and safe.

The rich can do it without civil or criminal consequence?

Wealth includes assets. If you can borrow against it, it can be taxed.

In fact, taxing the assets makes borrowing against them even more expensive.

Also, don't use their website.

That's too kind. Make the property a crippling liability they have to unload instantly.

And you can turn off some of the survival elements that some people find annoying. For instance, having to spend half your time early on hunting a specific type of fish for freshwater.

If you own the place or can get permission, a mini-split air conditioner is very easy to install with minimal tools, and they're pretty affordable online.

For under 500 buck including drill and bits you could have AC in a few days. It's not free, but it's a huge quality of life improvement.

Tax unoccupied homes at 150% of their value annually.

I might pay extra for that.

Those are some expensive pickles.

I'm saying that people are varied and that individuals have a maximum potential. Not everybody can lift weights to the point they become the strongest person on the planet, and not everyone can study until they're the most-knowledgeable person on the planet.

We're not clones. Everyone is born different with different brains and bodies, and it's important to recognize that so we can cater to people's individual needs, learning styles, abilities, and passions.

For those who weren't around at the time: The PS2 had a huge shortage of memory cards the first year or so. So you could buy games, but had to keep the console powered up 24/7 because you couldn't save your games.

I ended up buying a 3rd party card, but since Sony didn't officially allow them it came with a disc that launched an application that installed a driver in the local memory that allowed the card to function until the next power cycle. So you'd put in the driver disc, turn on the PS2, load the drivers, then swap discs to the game you wanted to play and pray that the game you were playing didn't make use of the same memory addresses as the 3rd-party drivers.

As someone who works all day, commutes, and then has to sleep, I don't understand this viewpoint.

What am I going to do with extra daylight after work? I'm still just going home and then to bed. It's not like I'm taking an excursion to the lake at 8pm when I've got to be up at 5am to get ready for work.

It's way worse than that.

They essentially crippled the standing for citizens to sue the states for violating their rights, so long as the states violate them the right way.
