Naw, fuck any cutesy nicknames that let MAGA minimize his crimes.

Let’s stick with “Donald J Trump, child rapist”

Mike Johnson once downvoted picture of a cute kitten peeking out of a box… on c/cats, no.less!

Alternatively, “making life more fair would be unfair to those who don’t benefit from more fairness.”

Thanks, I didn’t realize the enterprise DASs could be locked down to certain drive models. That would definitely be a non-starter.

Not every interaction is a dick-waving contest that needs to be “won”. Christ, learn how to talk to people.

The irony of you calling OP “smug” then going off on that condescending rant…

Like, you don’t even actually contradict them, just talk down to them for not addressing the “correct” group of shitty people in their 2 sentence post.

Honestly, government agencies holding each other accountable by jealously guarding their own powers and independence to operate is how a government of checks and balances SHOULD operate.

It’s when those proverbial small town cops start teaming up and refusing to hold each other accountable that the public needs to start worrying. For the US, that point is about 25-30 years ago though.

Your mom is awesome!

Am I doing it right?

Situations like yours are the other half of why this is all so maddening. Health insurance used to be a job perk, but now its being used as a noose to keep people tied to their job or risk not being able to afford healthcare for their family.

The ACA was a small, and wholly inadequate, step to fixing that, but at least a step. Fuck the GOP for trying to take even that away. It seems like even the reddest MAGA should be able to appreciate and encourage what you are trying to do.

Type 1 diabetic here. With my insurance I pay $40 for a 90-day supply of two different types of insulin. I literally feel nauseous when I see the “retail” price printed on the receipts edging on $1000.

I know that number is mostly there to make me feel good about the “generous” insurance company, but at the same time the mail order pharmacy I use flubbed up one time and billed my CC for that amount, so that retail price is real in some sense. I fought them on it, but ultimately it was easier just to pay and hit my deductible sooner. I realize I’m damn fortunate to be in a situation where an unexpected $1k bill is just an inconvenience.

I’m not sure what my point is, but this system where commodity drugs are priced at exorbitant prices, and made affordable only by paying a middleman, is insane. Clearly drugs like insulin can be made and sold at a reasonable price, and if it takes a government body to step in and treat critical drugs as a public service rather than a profit-maker, then fuck it let’s roll with that!

I think you meant Donald J Trump, child rapist, 38-time felon, best friend of notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and the man who publicly stated that he would date his underage daughter.

(You forgot to capitalize the J)

We Buy Ugly Houses 2028!

The only thing to watch out for using a laptop that is plugged in 24x7 is the battery. Battery management systems are generally pretty good, but Li-ion batteries can fail catastrophically. As long as you make a point to check on it periodically it’s probably fine.

I’m using an old laptop as a local interface for my network setup, since its in my basement, and I actually pulled the battery out entirely since I have a beefy UPS powering everything. Paranoid, maybe, but a Li-ion battery sitting on top of my equipment rack could do a ton of damage if it were to fail someday.

The atmosphere is about 78% N2 and only 0.05% CO2. So If you took all the oxygen out of a room, it would be mainly nitrogen left, and still only trace levels of CO2.

They must be in the National Guard

It grinds my gears so much that organizations like NPR still refer to it as Obamacare in their reporting. Its a cutesy/cringey nickname at best, and a slur at worst.

Maybe next we can get to the bottom of other radical left conspiracies, such as:

“Why did the UN’s wifi drop Trump’s phone connection right as he was placing his McDonalds order??”

and

“What caused the UN bathroom lights to turn off after 26 minutes of Trump sitting on the can, when the motion sensor was clearly set to 30 minutes??”

Is this going to be the next “Nothing can be done… says the only nation where this happens regularly” headline that gets posted several times per year?
