Or when they commit a crime while black.

Buying just slightly below highest end (so 5700X3D/3080) is the best bang-for-the-buck of all, IMO.

I just upgraded my seven-year-old 1700X/Vega 56 system to 5700X3D/9070 XT, and I expect it to be good for probably another seven years at least, give or take failure of the original motherboard I’m still using.

The sad thing is, Elizabeth Warren is one of the least-bad ones.

For those unaware (not the parent commenter), that’s literally the plan. It’s the post-Soviet model of blatant corruption, creating oligarchs by selling off government assets at fire-sale prices to their cronies.

I do not even slightly absolve Harris er al for their blame, but the (non)voters absolutely helped too. They failed to perform harm reduction and are thus also guilty, end of.

No, you fuck off. For helping Trump come to power, Palestinians’ blood is on your hands. Nobody cares about your specious bullshit anymore.

Well, yeah. Any uterus on the battlefield is one that isn’t back home gestating the next generation of cannon fodder.

(It’s despicable, but I’m pretty sure that’s how these shit stains actually think.)

I was literally just researching how to do that yesterday (told you I was serious). It turns out that those threaded holes in sheet metal with the little dimples so there’s more thread than the sheet metal thickness are made with “roll taps” or “forming taps,” not “cutting taps” (which is what your tap and die set probably is). Instead of creating chips, they push the metal out of the way to form the threads.

By the way, similarly thickened but unthreaded holes are made with something called a “friction drill.” It doesn’t have any flutes, so it just heats up the metal until it gets soft and gets pushed out of the way. Kinda neat.

Anyway, I just ordered a 6-32 forming tap off AliExpress; I’m gonna see if I can add some more motherboard standoff holes to one of my computer cases because it’s big enough for an EATX board but isn’t drilled for it.

He’s talking about it now to maximize time spent normalizing the idea in the minds of the public.

It’ll go directly from “nah, it’s just an idle hypothetical” directly to “so what? We always knew this was the plan and haven’t done anything about it, so it must be okay” without stopping in the middle for “holy shit, this is unconstitutional bullshit!”

It really grinds my gears how many things could be almost trivially designed to be rackmountable, but aren’t for no good reason. I guess in some cases it’s for market segmentation so they can charge more for “enterprise” gear, but in a lot of cases they don’t make any of that stuff to begin with so it clearly isn’t.

I’m actually so fed up with it that I’m seriously considering learning how to do sheet metal fabrication so I can make my own damn rackmount cases for stuff (with blackjack and hookers).

Also, what I really want is a version of this thing that’s rackmountable but has no wifi, and then another in the form factor of a ceiling-mounted PoE access point.

(And yes, this is just for my house, not “enterprise.” It’s not even a very big/fancy house; I just like my tech to be cleanly installed.)

I mean, technically there’s no reason a router can’t route between more than two networks. For example, I’ve got both fiber and cable Internet (for no real good reason – I ought to cancel one and save some money) and I’ve configured my OpenWRT router to have two different uplinks, reconfiguring one of the four LAN ports to WAN2 instead.

I’ve also got the other ports configured for separate VLANs (walling my untrustworthy Chinese ONVIF cameras off from being able to phone home, for example), but I think that’s technically not “routing” 'cause it’s OSI layer 2.

I assume it’s not common to have more that two networks being routed, especially in a SOHO environment, but it’s definitely not impossible.

America has always been two-party (that’s the inevitable game-theory result of how our elections are designed), but it hasn’t always been the same two parties. When the Whigs were a thing, the Republican Party didn’t exist yet.

They also realigned three or four times without changing names.

FYI, the ACLU mobile justice app shut down at the end of February.

https://www.aclu.org/mobilejustice

To ensure compliance with a growing number of consumer privacy laws and the ACLU’s own privacy policies and to minimize risk with surveillance technologies currently used by law enforcement, the national office has made the decision not to renew our contract with Quadrant 2, the vendor behind Mobile Justice, and shut down the app on February 28, 2025.

Friend/coworker recently told me that i don’t have a ‘game face.’ Now I’m self conscious that everyone knows what I’m really thinking.

You’re confusing it with “poker face.” “Game face” is when you try to look determined in order to intimidate the other team.

Hope that helps!

So has the US, in theory.

Keith’s 23 March update: within a few hours after this was posted (over a weekend) A NASA YouTube video and an official NASA photo of two female astronauts were pulled offline. Both things had been online for several years. This is not the first time this has happened. Apparently NASA DEI Sanitation Squad is using my postings to help them delete things. Details below.

So has anybody saved the YouTube video?

This post got reported because it’s an image of text without a transcription. That’s not against the rules, but it would be nice if you could edit it to add one.

Realistically, I want a Seawind 1160. Unfortunately, I’ve been keeping an eye on prices for used ones since before the pandemic, and they never seem to get any cheaper. 🙁

Most Americans have no idea how historically similar the US and Argentina actually were. It’s honestly weird that Argentina’s similar circumstances didn’t turn it into a great power like the US.
