You wouldn't download a wallet.

Musk "Junior High School", or "Musk Junior" High School?

Musk has like a thousand kids...one of them might turn out to be worthy of naming a school after.

You think Khan Academy is named after Ghengis?

Nope. I worked for CVS (corporate) once upon a time, but not on the hill...and literally almost everybody in this state has worked for CVS, APC, or Electric Boat at some point in their lives.

It's because it's incomplete advice.

It shouldn't just be "Be Yourself"

It's missing two important words, in the middle.

Be confident in yourself.

Some people dislike musicals because they are unrealistic...nobody they know just bursts into song and dance all the time.

I think those people need to find new friends.

Come to Rhode Island.

We have a surplus of JWU culinary arts graduates who can only afford to cook in a van down by the river.

Native Rhode Islander here.

Food trucks are a staple of life. They are a quintessential part of RI culture. We have events at Roger Williams Park like every week in the summer and there's lines of food trucks that each have like a 30 minute queue.

When I was in highschool (over 20 years ago now...), there were two big hangout spots: the coffee shop, and the hot weiner truck.

You all haven't lived till you've choked down 4 all-the-way, lovingly crafted on some old Mediterranean guys hairy forearm, and washed it down with 24oz of iced cold coffee milk (milk with coffee-flavored syrup) at 2am.

I do aliases through simplelogin and have my domain hosted on mxroute.

My domain is my real last name...so I have subdomains like @myfirst.lastname.com gets pointed to simplelogin for aliases, which then forwards to mxroute. @mywifesfirst.lastname.com goes to the same simplelogin and points to her Gmail for now.

Mxroute is cheap and they've got decent web apps but really more made for traditional IMAP clients. And they don't really do groupware...just email. But that's really the hardest part, from an admin perspective.

Adminning email is getting to be a sacred art. It's a lot of work and a constant arms race both against incoming spam, and the spam filters for whoever you are sending to. A whole ton of work for what is really an essential Internet service (when I can't get into my credit card account because enom is slacking on forwarding mail, it's a problem...and also why I switched to simplelogin).

For how cheap mxroute is, IMO, absolutely not worth the effort of self-hosting unless it's actually your day job and you get some sick sadistic pleasure out of doing it on your own time.

The mxroute admin/owner himself also seems like a pretty chill guy. He's been pretty forward and transparent on Reddit and lowendbox.

Edit to add: important stuff...make sure that you have an email address that you don't host, to access stuff you need to for the stuff that you do (i.e. DNS, mail hoster, MFA provider, directory service, etc). I use a free proton for that.

History repeats itself. This is how we got the Panama Canal in the first place.

Panama used to be a territory of Columbia, separated by dense unnavigable jungle (still is).

Panama gained their independence by us (USA) having their back with naval blockades to keep Columbia away, since they couldn't come in by land.

The only thing keeping Columbia away was our navy.

Then...we threatened to leave.

Has he gotten robot legs yet?

Hey Elon, how much do clothes cost in The Matrix?

Edit: I feel bad for anybody who doesn't get the references. It's from Grandma's Boy. Peak stoner comedy film. Very quotable...up there with "Your Highness" as my favorite stoner-comedies. Highly recommended.

Is that translated? Or, rather, does Fedir speak English?

I got a funny feeling that the translators in global media sound a hell of a lot more competent than Trump. And there's a hell of a lot gained in translation.

Well, killing billionaires is taxing the rich, just in a roundabout way and with a little bit of class-eugenics sprinkled on top.

At least as long as we have estate taxes. And until some next-of-kin decides to liquidate everything and give to charity.

 

Hey all.

I just waited nearly 3 weeks for my (generic) Vyvanse refill.

How much longer is this "supply chain" problem going to go on for? It's been like a year already, hasn't it? Wasn't the whole thing about manufacturers claiming they'd "exceeded their quota"?

Or is it going to get worse with RFK just wanting to send half of us to ~~concentration camps~~ organic lettuce farms in Kansas?

 

We are waiting for our new Honda Go4Ride.

 

Just...the way it seamlessly transitions in the third paragraph...the illustrations...the summary. The backyardchickens.com reference. Just all of it.

 

Who had "Freedom of Press" as one of the first pillars to fall?

so much to organize, damn you humble bundle

 
 
 

The bumper...I don't know what it's called...that little clip with the snow that fades in and reveals the logo.

It's terrible.

For one, a lot of people actually don't know what TV static is. Analog broadcasts stopped almost 16 years ago, and before that, most younger people had cable.

For another, static is really difficult to compress. It looks horrible and consumes way too much bandwidth for just a couple of seconds that won't even load right. If anything, they should cache a local copy of the bumper in-app in a format that doesn't look like ass when every pixel changes every frame.
