Man pays 100 people and under 50 show up. Interesting that they went with that title.

They however listen to advisors and experts.

So based on the statistics that should be about: 210 white nationalists 192 anti government and conspiring followers 36 animal rights activists 24 abortion extremists 128 other

In aggregate right and right leaning individuals and organizations are 75% or 3/4ths or 3:4 or 3x more likely to commit acts of terrorism.

Your very first sentences is just wrong and that's at is where the exhaustion begins.

I have lived through 5 "once" in a lifetime disasters and seen hundreds in my lifetime.

I don't have much love or trust for CNN but Bill Nye has spent his life trying to educate and speak truth.

You are focusing on the wrong aspects and ignoring the real threat to your and my kids which is global warming and climate change.

We have to stop burning the world and we have to stop now. More people are going to die and it will keep happening more often. It will also eventually happen to you and people you care about. I hope you recognize the risk and take action before then so you also won't have the leopard eat your face.

Part of it is exhaustion. Democrats and the left often see the eventually outcome of policy change, while I find that people leaning right are surprised when policy changes they supported or politicians they supported make changes that affect them. It's where the leopard are my face meme comes from.

So yes it's callous and she should be held accountable for what she says but this type of extreme weather event is exactly what the science has been predicting and business as usual had lead to this inevitable outcome.

No they are being obliterated since decimate is 1/10th and this is all out destruction.

It really comes down to your needs. If flying frequently then the perks of status can add up but if your flying for personal reasons it makes less difference other that needing to learn multiple airline policies over just one.

Killing more jobs...

Meet up somewhere outside and stay sweaty!

We have to stop rewarding the neo liberal and "moderate"parts of the Democrats. We also can't keep letting the fascists rewrite the rules on the fly. Newsom is another clay neo-liberal trying to contort and reshape himself into something just fascist enough and just moderate enough to be acceptable to the plutocrats.

Mamdani proves that there are eager and active liberal Democrats and they are on the sidelines while "main stream" candidates are rolled out time and again as the best option...

Don't bother I'm never voting for the least bad candidate because it's not working.

Me too buddy but for very different reasons.

He is looking for a replacement but is really addicted to the macro keys on the left. Anyone have a non Keychron rec? (I am already sending him all the Keychron keebs that offer similar layouts)

Thanks/Cheers!

 

Despite the massive breach where we found out that notes (where lots of people stored previous passwords) were not stored encrypted by Lastpass, I have stuck with them for years because its hard to switch services.

Recently I realized that both my wife and I were paying for 2 separate password manager services and we need to consolidate down to one.

Staying with LastPass and moving to a family account would only cost $4/m which is still 1/2 what we were paying combined.

Is there another manager that offers Apple, Android, and Browser based applications/plugins? Ideally also with an authentication app, though I can swap to any authentication if I need to so its just a nice to have.

 

I will never be done tweaking and adjusting things, but for now, this is how I want it.

I do wish I had more control over things like Discord and Steam. Some of the colors and things just dont fit well with the rest of the style but o well, cant make everything perfect.

Replacement tubes are only about $15 but why spend that when I can just print them!

 

Hey there fellow neck-beards and grey-beards!

For a while now I have been a Brother evangelist because they just worked, they did not lock you into first party only printing supplies, and they were overall a good value.

THEN: my printer firmware auto updated and suddenly my toner cartridges were no longer recognized. Its not that they ran out and I put in new ones, simply the ones that had previously worked (3rd party already) just stopped and it reported an error.

I managed to find a guide on downgrading the firmware, and now I am back up and running and auto update is turned off. I am also saving all the little chips from the Brother branded cartridges.

So Dear Brother Printers, Please choke on a bag of dicks. I spent $500ish on a laser color printer so I would not have to deal with the shitification that has happened to inkjet. Seeing hostile and profiteering consumer behavior from other printer companies you decided to copy them for short term gains.

Well I will no longer recommend your products, and I will go out of my way to fix and downgrade your older printers with the sole purposes of putting them back into use and costing you new sales.

1 down, 1 in the cue, feel free to stop being anti consumer and breaking hardware we already paid for.

Hey y'all. I'm not a huge fan of defederating other instances but I honestly don't know that hexbear is adding any value to our discussions. So far everything I have seen is trying to be edgy and gatekeeping with manipulative language. They also seem to enjoy stirring things up for entertainment.

So I pose the question is it worth it to stay federated to a seemingly bad faith instance for the few people who might understand and enjoy the lulz.

I would vote no but I'm open to the discussion.

 

Hey folks... Yes we all saw the drama, and yes Linus probably did not understand that the criticism was of their pace and methodology rather than on a single video.

BUT please down vote bad content, not because your mad at Linus, and more importantly if you are down-voting to protest, do it on Youtube!

This unofficial community (of like 3 people) is not affiliated, we are not beholden, we are fully independent and have no connection to LTT. Down voting here without adding to the discussion is as bad as posting YouTube video's without fixing the errors.

 

My 7 Year Old decided that their GMMK needed a key cap refresh, so we sat down pulled off all the old caps, and put on new ones out of my spare/surplus.

The old Keycaps:

 

The only real complaint I have had for my Keychron K4 has been the plastic case, so yesterday I decided NO MORE!

I took some aluminim stock plate I had left over from another unrelated project and trimmed it down, tapped and countersunk mounting holes, and give it a hand brushed look with some 80 grit sand paper.

So far it feels solid, and I love the diffuse reflections from the key illumination. Combining the open sandwich plate with low profile caps gives it a really cool "exploded" or raw look.

I also added some silicone rubber to some of the larger keys to tone the "ping" down and give them a heftier feel and sound.

I dont love the stock stabilizers that come with this board so they may be the next update. Switches and Firmware are already all custom.
