What, now you disagree with both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, so you want to have a revolution?

You crack me up.

I’d say get back in the shower.

Wow, very well put.

OP: I’d like to recommend a book - “Your Erroneous Zones” by Wayne Dyer. Available on Amazon and used bookstores for a couple bucks. He essentially outlines how to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to alter our own mis-thinking, and to develop more effective communication.

Tailscale has the Funnel feature, which can funnel traffic into your Tailscale net for you.

There’s a number of tags that could be useful, like politics, sports (or specific sports, though I’d filter all of them, just not my thing), or pick something.

It would also be a useful way to setup different collections, like right now I want to see posts about cooking - I could have a view with just “cooking” tags (a category that could have further tags, eg “Cooking, veggies” or “Cooking, Pork”, etc).

Of course this would require voluntary and consistent use of the tagging system, but I think over time most posters would embrace such a thing.

A couple days ago I decided to just start blocking people who post political crap, especially where it doesn’t belong (particularly political tirades or rants). Such people provide no value, so no need to have them in my feed.

The databases at my company nearly 30 years ago were staggering at the time. I can only imagine.

Thank you. Brilliant, wonderful.

So tired of politics, there are communities for that stuff.

I think you could make this a Dad joke

My experience is lithium batteries really slow down electricity production in cold.

I’ve tested batteries for car flashlights, and found lithiums will die much faster than any other due to cold. Even after warming up they have less charge (and this use-case needs power now).

NiMH seems to tolerate cold much better for my use case.

I don’t store any batteries that I like outside - no battery tech likes extreme temps, some less than others.

More simplistically, pretty much everything dislikes temp swings or extremes, especially anything plastic. So that’s kind of my guide. If it’s plastic, I bring it in.

Wow, you’re all wrapped up in power dynamics you have zero sense of courtesy for others.

Hey, again, you don’t want to play along, that’s fine - you’ll be the one to reap what you sow.

And in today’s business climate of 360° reviews, HR over-reach, etc, you’ll be the one missing out. Pretty much anyone in a business environment would agree that cussing is inappropriate. If nothing else, it demonstrates someone’s lack of ability to either recognize their audience, or (as in your case), to be dismissive of them.

Cuss all you want, just don’t cry when you’re offered up during layoffs.

Lol, you’re funny.

Go say “fuck” while standing in front of a judge. It’s banal, so it’s his problem, right?

Until he fines you for contempt of court. Or jails you for continuing to say fuck after being warned.

Society as a whole is a judge. If you refuse to try to get along with the rest of society, it may decide to not get along with you.

Grow up. Your opinion is shit.

See how condescending that is.

Haha.

OK, dammit, I was annoyed by the opening, but I went along just to see where it goes.

You made me snort. And dammit you’re right. Have my upvote.

What’s doubly frustrating is the same technology is used as a giant vacuum, it’s the same motor, same compressor wheel (albeit aluminum), same case, with a giant bag attached. If these asshats were vacuuming stuff up instead of just blowing over to the next yard, I’d be a little less annoyed.

The other day I watched a city worker blowing grass clippings out of the street back into the park that had just been mowed. Why? We have pretty steady breezes here through the summer, so you’re just wasting time. If they’d left the clippings, passing cars (at 30mph) would kick them up for the breeze to carry away and decompose on some grass.

Instead they did the opposite, use energy to do what Mother Nature would do just as quickly.

And here’s the problem with Wikipedia - while technically darker roasted coffee doesn’t have more caffeine by volume than lighter roasts…technically the way coffee is brewed properly is by weight, and darker grounds are often used for things like espresso, which requires a much finer grind. So the same volume of dark grounds will technically have more coffee grounds than a lighter roast used for drip or pour-over.

Lots of detail is obfuscated when things are summarized. Sometimes those details matter.

Also, it seems a lot if this doesn’t address the facetious or hyperbolic angle of these statements (though several do).

Again, sometimes this change in level (or direction) of focus fundamentally changes what something means.

Right there with you.

Some people are so empty they need crap like politics or reality TV to feel something.

Ubiquiti?

You can’t give me that garbage. I despise it, after setting up a single access point (plus also watching friends deal with it at client sites).

Besides the discovery issues and slow performance when trying to manage it, I had a random open network on it after setup. This network didn’t appear anywhere in the control panel. I could turn off the access point and the network disappeared.

It didn’t show up in the guest network config (which was turned off anyway). It had the same name as the WPA-protected network, it was just open - no security at all.

I had to reset the access point to get rid of this weird random open network.

What kind of garbage product does that?

Now let’s look at cloud keys. One has a hard drive in it. Just one drive, 3.5", which besides storing data also stores the OS. What? Why is the OS not on some firmware or at least an M2, since the drive is really for storing surveillance data (did I mention it’s a single drive?), what a joke. Why would I bother with such an expensive device that has zero fault tolerance, when I could simply buy a cheaper real machine, run multiple drives, and host the software there?

I lack the vocabulary to describe how bad Unifi is.

Kids all across the US are waiting at the bus in the dark anyway.

Not everyone gets to get on a bus after sunrise.

The better answer is to just quit switching altogether, and socially adjust everything to x hours pre mid-day sun.

With everything being connected these days it’s trivial (hell, industrial clocks have been tied to electrical frequency since 1900, so it’s always been trivial to compensate them).

If “6am” slowly moved every day due to when mid-day sun/sunrise occurs, no one would even notice.

Emotion, plain and simple (specifically fear).

I suspect it has to do with the amygdyla being short-term sensitized.

It’s not a rational organ - rationality, logic, etc are things generated by the cortex (If I remember my biology classes from decades ago). The amygdyla is old and reactive, to keep us alive. It doesn’t know “Scary Thing” wasn’t real.

I believe there’s also a connection to hormonal feedback (again, thanks to the amygdyla).

You first! 😁

Not as efficient as others in bits per second, but interestingly the syllable-to-bits ratio is tightly coupled.
