I’m guessing it’s a power thing. They have “trophies” to get off too

Why don’t you go get a job in the FDA and fight?

I can’t speak to others but it’s exhausting. All the “did something illegal” “got egg on the face of the US” “made a clown of himself”. I can only be outraged for so long before I’m burned out. I’ve voted every election big and small. I’ve argued and talked with people about how bad this could be. I’ve told people who didn’t know there are still literal wars going on and how there is an avenue for ww3. People don’t care or they think trump is the one to see us through and any changes he wants to make are good.

What else can I do? I’m not going to take up arms because I still believe in our democracy.

That’s my job title.

Cold turkey worked for me. But it wasn’t this big thing. One day I didn’t want to go to the gas station to get more and that turned into, how long could I go? And now I smoke once a year on my friends birthday and HATE the taste.

Anything is fuel if you try hard enough. I melted down an aluminum boat in a bonfire last fall. But pitch, fat and aluminum while burnable/melt able do not smell like “fuel” as the average person would associate them.

Fun fact fat was used in early soaps made to smell “good”.

Ps. This isn’t arguing with you, it’s having a conversation.

Fun fact, that torch wouldn’t smell like fuel. Reason being is fuel is an accelerant, traditionally those torches have pitch, fat or some other long burning substance. Those don’t smell like fuel other than the VERY small amount of accelerant to get them initially lit.

You missed the (and doing it properly) part. Could you do it on his setup? sure. Could you do it on your setup recommendations? Sure. Could you do it on a little raspberry pi? Probably. A industry standard best practice for backup is 3-2-1. Do all companies follow industry best practices? Heavens no. Redundancy is great, it may save you from calling someone at triple rates for after hours support only to find your one 48 port switch failed. It’s all about what risk you are willing to take on any of this.

Think bigger, someone gets the accounts and releases all of his private messages. If he doesn’t delete them. I’m on the fence about the precident this would set.

It’s not a word but ‘…’ ok… thanks… I guess…

What do you want? Is it on our do you want something else? It’s fine…

Cmon…

I get the joke now, just was not in the headspace earlier to realize it. Cheers friend!

Have I? Yes, yes I have. I live fairly comfortably in a house that I own with a good job to pay the bills. But I volunteer with people that are not in the same situation and it’s heartbreaking. People that can’t afford to pay for unexpected expenses like a car breaking down. So they lose the job then lose their place of residence.

Vets, people with disabilities or even people that messed up early in life can struggle.

Illegal to live poor too… shitty situation to be in

Because the last dog I rescued cost me $7k in vet bills and needed to be put down a month and a half later due to health issues anyway. We had him just long enough to get attached. Then i spent all night with him puking up more blood then i thought he could have in him.

If I buy a puppy from a breeder I know it’s genetics and can make sure it doesn’t have pre existing conditions from abuse.

Miss you Fen…

Who cares?

I’m all for hating on musk/trump. But do we know if he actually stole the handle/tag or if he paid an obscene amount of money to the original owner?

I hate Twitter and deleted my account a long time ago but facts matter and assuming he stole the tag is just as bad as what he is doing. We may never know what actually happened but I’m curious

Ahh then I guess you never worked a government job? They abbreviate everything as much as possible. I totally forgot about the SS Nazi thing and assumed it was Secret Service.

?? Secret Service = Nazism? Since when?

The after birth abortions were not absurd? I’m half way through watching it and that and the 28 million immigrants a day both sound kinda absurd.

Thanks for taking the time to explain that for me!
