Not likely. I’m sure life exists out there, it’s just too far away.

I agree with the holiday items coming out wayyyy to early and was on board with this person at first… then I realized they’re a delusional fundie and it makes me want to buy extra Halloween stuff just out of spite.

Because what people really want is an iTunes like service that just has everything for a single price rather than 14 streaming apps that have content overlap but also exclusives and rotating temporary content licenses costing $20+ each with ads.

There was a period of time when I gave up pirating because Netflix+prime was good enough to watch just about everything, and on-device search easily searched both platforms and provided a unified search/watch experience. It wasn’t worth the effort of finding and storing content yourself.

Fast forward to today, you search for something, it belongs to some fucking random service you don’t currently pay $17.99 a month for and then halfway though a season, it drops from the platform and goes to another streaming service you also don’t pay for. It’s just endless bullshit and nickel&diming now.

I’d happily pay $60 a month for a single service that just had everything and saved me from all this bullshit, instead I’d be forced to spend $300 a month for 23 services I barely use just to have access to the catalog of content I want.

Another example of this done well is steam- I just want my whole library in one place, I don’t want 5 different game libraries each with their own crap. Consequently I’ve spent thousands of dollars on steam over the years because of the unified experience.

What a fucking idiot

You can get gigabit over 5e, you don’t need super expensive cables. That said I ran cat 6 through my whole house and am able to fully saturate the bus, about 115 MBps (920 Mbps) which accounts for the TCP overhead. I haven’t tried 2/5/10G on it bull I’ll probably upgrade in a few years, I don’t expect to have much trouble getting good speeds. Your biggest issue was you might not have had all the cable pairs in your wire, or your cables ends might have been crusty, or you could have had bad kinks in the wire causing packet loss, or some real absolute trash quality wire. In general, 5e and 6 are plenty for most people/situations to get good speeds (1Gb+)

The wheel, rope, fire.

Nope, I keep coming back. New Zelda is great. My kids are really into it too right now!

Yeah, there’s a growing subculture of people, not just in USA, that have fallen for an internet scam claiming to have found “loopholes” in the law. Generally, it involves not having legal plates on your car, registration, not paying child support or taxes, driving without a license, etc etc etc.

They theory goes that if you just “educate” yourself on constitutional, maritime, and wartime law, you can catch police and judges in a “gotcha, checkmate” situation and they’ll be powerless to do anything to you.

Sadly, there is a big overlap with SovCits, flat-earthers, right wing maga types, ancient alien conspiracy types, Neo-nazis/klan types, the mentally ill, and the poor and uneducated. They tend to be a group of people that dont have much in life and are susceptible to the idea that there is “one easy trick they don’t want you to know” type of cheat code to get ahead in life and leave problems behind.

Toxic relationship that ended and now she’s asking for child support? I’ll just become an independent nation that doesn’t recognize that law. Can’t afford car payment and the bank is trying to repossess? I’ll just make up some bank docs that “dismiss” the loan. Silly stuff like that.

There is a group of hucksters that prey on these people, they make YouTube channels, sell books, run seminars, etc etc etc to squeeze money from them while leaving these poor gullible sops running around being pedantic about the difference between “driving” and “traveling” as defined by some 18th century cattle rancher.

Redundancy is your best option regardless- that said, when those western digital easy-stores go on sale, I like to grab them for offline storage. Something like rsync every couple of months and you have a decent second copy of your data to keep on a shelf. The $/Gig was hard to beat, I haven’t gotten any in a year or two, but there were sales to get the drives with enclosures for like $130 for 8TB. At the time, that was far less than I was paying for internal NAS drives. Since it’s not a daily driver, you don’t need super high runtime or performance.

I’m pretty sure every one of their points was demonstrably false / nonsense.

I like the part about the extreme desert heat…. Underground.

Ahh yes, the Adolph Hitler award for tolerance and peace.

Fuck both of them

These people are so fucking dumb I can’t even finish reading. They should be locked in a room and forced to read books for 5 years.

What a cunt

I mean, they’re ignoring the one in Palestine and the one in China, and even taking sides against Ukraine, so how is this any different?

GOP’ers are the fucking worst. Maybe they should go move to Israel and have a stab at killing babies. On second thought, they’d probably like that since the kids have been born already and are brown.

Fuck the GOP

She should open a pet store where you bring your existing pet and then she just shoots it and tells you why she had to.

Is pretty high up there for me. Guy does a photoshoot of himself fucking a corpse after performing an autopsy on it.

For a lot of the same reasons.

But if you want something arty, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101420 has some pretty insane imagery.

Stop, I can only get so hard!
