Awesome, glad they’re doing it.

The problem is the price and the timeframe. The next batch is available next May?

For that price, more than a year from now, you’ll likely be able to assemble or purchase a small form factor PC and build it out with similar or better components for significantly cheaper.

I think the treasury should issue a Darrell Sheets commemorative $40 bill.

How do you make multiple seasons of this show? It sounds like one of those 3-episode hentai shows from the early 2000s with the horrible dubs.

TV plots were a lot more rudimentary and formulaic back then as there was less competition (like 3 channels total).

Lots of “so-and-so’s boss is coming to dinner and it has to go perfectly or else, and unsurprisingly, hilarity ensues”

For years they ran a program to reward people for using Bing (they still technically do, but the payouts are next to nothing, maybe $5-10 worth of gift cards per year).

10 years ago you could accumulate a passive income of several thousand dollars per year by farming Bing Rewards, Perk (before that company went under) and a few other programs.

That and LeMays firebombing of Tokyos residential areas with mostly wood-construction buildings. The destruction was devastating (some estimates of 100,000 civilian casualties and 1 million made homeless).

The idea being to choke off Iran’s ability to use it at all. This kills their remaining income stream and also incents the Chinese and others who thought they had a workaround (the tolls) to instead put pressure on Iran.

I just assumed it was a loot and repair system like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I mean, shit. 10-70% in 5 minutes? If that vehicle architecture and those chargers become even semi-ubiquitous, we are looking at a scenario where those EVs are road-trippable and there are no more excuses.

Of course that is asking a lot in the US at the moment.

The problem is that even if you do convince them to eliminate office culture, many CEOs are more likely to skip straight past the “let existing domestic employees work from home for their regular salaries” and instead go to the “outsource everything to the Philippines or India for 1/5 the personnel cost” strategy.

Level 10 would be what, the part at the end where she is offing all the soldiers with her USP?

Looking forward to road tripping an EV this summer. I will trade the slightly longer stops at DC fast chargers (vs. gas stations) for not having to worry about what the price of fuel is.

I run Immich on mine with an external drive.

I have not messed with media streaming from a Pi to a TV since the 3B, which was a laggy experience that resulted in overheating.

For that reason, hardware-wise I would recommend at least a Pi4 with some kind of cooling solution. Could be a passive metal radiative case, or active fan cooling.

You want, ideally a crosscut shredder. Burning even moderate amounts of paper indoors is probably too much of a fire or smoke inhalation risk, unless you already have a fireplace you can use.

Mix the sensitive documents with pages from unrelated useless documents (could be scratch paper notes, old letters or homework, junk mail, paper advertisements or pages from catalogs or even a phonebook) and shred all that stuff together.

After shredding, seperate the shredded paper into bags so that no one “document” is likely to be able to be reassembled from one bag. Throw the bags away in separate places and/or on separate days. Drop them in different dumpsters behind businesses or different trashcans in the park. Alternatively if you can store the shredded paper in bags at a secure location, you can save it up and then take it on a camping trip and burn it in your campfire.

If your threat model is so severe that these methods aren’t secure enough, consider instead avoiding writing or printing the information in the first place.

Who the fuck is buying Billy Jack on DVD in current year?

Agree but this does need to be explained to people who aren’t in the know. These laws are currently being marketed as “put the power in parents hands” in various states left, right, and center.

Its a good bet when there seems to be widespread bipartisan push for restrictive laws that literally no one asked for, it’s gonna be something bad. But you have to explain to mouthbreathers in the electorate why or this shit just gets rammed through.

The Prologue may not be as advanced as you would like relative to other EVs, but for those who leased one last year before the credit went away… they got an insane deal. Less than $400/mo with nothing down, for the Elite (top trim level) AWD. Some got them in the $200/mo range.

I’m hoping the lease buys some time in the US market, and in 3 years there are new options that are neither Tesla (the Apple of the EV world) nor Chinese companies. Polestars are expensive and I have heard about the same service issues you mentioned. And I don’t like the idea of trading one set of spyware for another.

The Rivian R2 Standard could be a compelling (cheaper) option when it arrives. Or if nothing else there should be a lot more low-mileage used EVs coming off lease around that time. They could be cheaper and still have a lot of life left.

Great. Can’t wait for price increases or data caps or both.

CNN was reporting he had some kind of explosive material along with him. So maybe he expected it to go off but didn’t.
