They’re not hurting the people they need to be hurting.

All of the English teachers agree with him.

Wouldn’t reverse deportation be sending American citizens to a different country? TBH, there’s definitely cases I would at least entertain that argument.

It’s also a boomerish thing to say in general. I’m sitting here holding “foldable media”, my folding phone.

We do the same, but opposite. We have a minivan and a smaller EV. The minivan is technically hers and the EV is mine, but it’s really more what it’s used for. If one of us is taking the kids somewhere (school, birthday parties, fun) we take the van. If we’re running to the store, normal errands or just taking a single kid we’ll use the EV.

It doesn’t make sense for her to take the minivan to run to the store to pick up something small and it doesn’t make sense for me to take the smaller car to bring the kids somewhere.

These aren’t regular people, these are navy soldiers on a high tech warship, I have to imagine their IT would know how to find rogue wifi APs.

You could easily scan for hidden SSIDs. It might not show up in your phone’s wifi list, but that’s by design. The traffic is still there and discoverable. Even with an app like WiFiman (made by Ubiquiti).

Yea, they eventually did the tour and honored the tickets. I guess $250 isn’t terrrrrrible, when I was looking it was like $250 for essentially nosebleed seats.

True or not this is now a fact in my mind.

I’ve seen Green Day and Weezer in concert so many times when I was younger. Then they did the tour with Fallout Boy a few years back and I just couldn’t justify the cost. Which is a shame but it is what it is.

There are two main reasons why those numbers are skewed and incorrect.

1. Mojang/Microsoft can’t legally keep tallies of players under the age of 13 due to COPA regulations, so that demo is underrepresented
2. Those numbers include Java metrics which contrary to popular belief, are absolutely dwarfed by Bedrock players.

Bedrock players are Mojang/Microsoft’s target demo. They spend more money (with both realms and the marketplace) and purchase more merchandise.

Just like in this case, it isn’t straight forward. She wasn’t simply “letting her friends use it”, she was selling use of the trick.

Google has been doing it with YouTube for as long as there has been a paid version of it. If you’re a premium subscriber, the creators you watch get a portion of your subscription based on how much you watch them. It’s why premium subscriber views are worth more than free views.

That’s why IMO YouTube premium is worth it. My subscription supports the creators I watch and I get no ads.

Let’s be real, no matter how you’re watching YouTube, if you’re accessing the video directly and not cached through a third party server, Google is still tracking you.

It’s super relevant in this case since they were shutdown for abusing the system and given warning that they decided to ignore while looking for a new provider.

Getting Home Assistant to play nicely with Google without using their Nabu Casa service definitely is a hurdle, but once you get over it, it’s super nice. I ended up just blocking Google DNS inside my network to force all the Google home devices to use my internal DNS to fix the https/hairpin NAT issue. It wasn’t a big deal since my kids are getting older and I needed to block outbound DNS in general since they’re getting savvy enough to get around my content filtering.

It’s quite convenient, at least on the Google home. I could just share an album with my mom and MIL, set up the album to automatically populate with pictures we take of our kids and they get to see the latest pictures we’ve taken right away without ever having to touch the device or really do anything other than take the picture.

It worked really well when my MIL lived in a different state. They got to share in the memories that were happening 1000 miles away in almost real time without having to beg for pictures every day.

Yea, that’s more or less the same cost a fully loaded i5 would be in the US. Works out to be about 15k more than the normal 5 series, more or less.

Currently only Ford and Rivian can use Tesla chargers in the US. BMW, Mercedes and a bunch of others have announced partnerships with Tesla late 2023 / early 2024 but they haven’t released the adapters or technically allowed to use it just yet.

I’m absolutely in love with the i7 (the 7 series in general), but the i5 is the closest I’ll get and even then it’s really hard to justify since I really don’t drive a whole lot.

It’s something I’ve been considering getting but the one thing that really gets me about it is it’s essentially an ICE car with its engine swapped out for a battery and electric motor. It’s so big and heavy.

I haven’t gotten to test drive one yet, so maybe it doesn’t feel as bad when driving. I know not really the same class (though surprisingly close in cost) but I’ve been leaning towards the mach e GT (one thing Tesla got right is their supercharger network and Ford can take advantage of that).

I’m also half hoping they come out with a sedan built from the ground up as an EV. I considered the i4, but at that price there’s a lot of great cars that would probably be better.

Did your company buy them or lease? I don’t think I can bring myself to actually buy an EV. I’m still not sure how the battery will be in 10+ years.

I don’t know where this “conservative” thing comes from, at worst he’s a libertarian but voted Obama twice, Biden once and went on record that he would vote Biden again no matter what his health was (before Biden dropped out).

Eat the rich and all that, but I wouldn’t label him a conservative.
