  • So you think it’s smarter to wear a seatbelt, you wear yours but are somehow annoyed that it might ding at someone else for something you yourself think is unsafe and wouldn’t do?

    Yes. Or for my backpack thats in the backseat and sitting just right to trigger the sensor.

    The backseat warning is so kids don’t get left in the back as easily and neglectful parents have an extra step to ignore which plays against them in court. Are you somehow for some reason for children playing pizza oven because their parents neglected them?

    Don’t misconstrue my words to say I’m for roasting kids. But I am against the constant alerts without any means to turn them off.

    I’m just curious, are you also against it being illegal for fridge doors to be produced with a latch that only operates from outside the fridge?

    That’s a ridiculous false equivalency. The things I’m against are annoyances, not trapping people in cars.

    Cars make noises for fucking everything now. I’m not against rear view cameras on the surface. But mandating things like that also mean mandating a screen in the car, usually the infotainment system. And I prefer cars without screens.

    Any single thing, I’m not particularly against. But it’s been a cumulative effect where there are too many things where I can’t make a decision on how an object I bought and own behaves.

    It’s shit like not letting me, as a passenger, use half the damn infotainment because the vehicle is in motion.












  • All emergency powers given to the president should expire within 14 calendar days unless it is confirmed by a supermajority in both the house and Senate.

    Those emergency powers should then need to be renewed by congress in the same supermajority manner no later than 90 days after the previous expiration date and no earlier than 60 days after the previous expiration date.

    Failing to renew an emergency strips the president of any emergency powers.

    This would reverse the current system which requires a vote by congress to overrule the presidents emergency. It is not onerous to assemble congress if there are an actual emergency.








  • Mine is primarily a 4u server, in a rack. That’s screwed to the wall (for added stability).

    They’d need a couple guys to unrack it. It’s in the garage I rarely ever lock, behind the cars which are more valuable and easier to steal. Behind the much more valuable tools.

    Garage does get warm in the summer and cold enough in the winter the fans do funny things.

    Anything important gets replicated to another location as well as backed up to a cloud bucket. So if it got stolen it would suck, but not the end of the world.
