A person’s eyes are a window into their soul.
Our international partners began moderating the intelligence they would share while Trump was in office. They couldn’t trust him to not blab about state secrets during dinner parties just to try to impress people with how smart and important he was.
It has been popular. People were traveling out of country for joint replacements. Costs were less for travel, surgery, and recovery than what they would pay for it here. Covid put a damper on travel for a couple years, so not sure if it’s still as popular. I would consider it if/when I need knee replacements done. Considering what I’ve heard about the quality issues of joint replacements in the US, I don’t want one here.
There really should be better options, but it’s where this country is currently at, where some home chemistry is something people would have to consider. You’re right, it’s dangerous and certainly has a lot of risks. With some background in it myself and access to resources that the general public doesn’t have, I would still be hesitant to try something I’d cooked up in the basement at home. But, I’m also not at the point where I’m going to die from a treatable but unaffordable disease.
I’m a quality chemist. I test the API’s that process chemists make to be sure they’re right. Yeah, reactions don’t always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you’re independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you’re not valuable enough to save?
Scepter televisions are a great option, no “smart” features at all. Bought two of them about 6 years ago and no issues.
Saw the question and thought of exactly this video. Great skit.
Commodore basic on the PET computer, back around 1981-1983. My grade school had three of them in the library, and since my mom was a teacher, she would sign one out for summer break and bring it home if any were available.
I bought a couple Sceptre TVs six years ago, been great.
I’d probably sit and play Unreal, or maybe Riven if I was feeling more chill. Could easily burn through 12 hours like that. Just need to be able to take a case of Jolt, a few bags of chips, and some Skittles along and I’d be set.
I laughed at this comment, but also a half second later think, “unfortunately there’s a chance they’re right.”
Unless they are all closeted homosexuals, blackmail is useless at this point. They’ve seen that the base will punch the ticket for every “R” candidate regardless of any transgression aside from being gay or trying to work across the aisle.
It’s a dual drive redundant setup. Unless something catastrophic happens, I doubt both drives will go out at the same time. I could do an offsite backup as well, but just haven’t.
Been using a Synology NAS for the past year for automatic photo backups. Take a photo, it gets copied to my drive at home so long as there’s internet access available. No issues so far. Turned off my backups to Google.
Bro Hymn by Pennywise is playing right now. Listening to the punk channel on XM.
The NRA has a bloody hand in promoting this culture. Decades of escalating fearmongering brought them members, money, and political influence. It also took them far off course from their original goals promoting safety and responsibility. They now exist solely to promote more firearms sales at any cost, and actively push legislation against any attempts to regulate ownership. I enjoy going to the range once in a while to do some target shooting, and used to hunt years ago, but will never be a NRA member. I have no respect for this organization and what they’ve become.
In the 80s and 90s HP printers were great. They just worked, even in rough dirty manufacturing environments. You could just about drop kick one, and it would still print out a page for you. Now they’re crap. The investment firm that owns the brand is past beating the dead horse, now trying to squeeze every last dollar out of the carcas.
Everyone was holed up waiting for the world to end because of Y2K. 😯
Ended up ordering 2 of those myself. For the price, couldn’t pass it up. Going to replace the 1Tb ssd’s I have now, and turn the old ones into external storage. All my Steam games are taking up too much space.
I’m running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.
