At is best that panel is held on with some glue. The zip tie is an upgrade.

I mean why are we still asking why? We know why. The American dream involved a house and a car. The great American road trip. The lack of high speed rail. All of that got us here. The real question is what’s keeping us stuck here? And the answer is politics. Solve the oligarchy issue and you might be able to take on the projects we’re need to do away with car centric culture. Get people in office that value infrastructure over military might, and will stop subsidizing car and gas companies. A small thing any of us can do is, when job searching, require companies to justify why a job must be in office instead of remote and unless it makes sense, don’t accept in office requirements. That last one is arguable more difficult if you’re in desperate need of a job, but in other conditions, try it.

“All these streaming services trying to make money off your data are bad” says article that requires a membership to read. I’m OOTL on whatever this Roku Moana controversy is and I guess I’ll remain that way, at least as long as the source is Vox.

So one night we’re playing a modern era game and the BBEG and her husband are “holding court” at a very expensive night club. So all the PCs get dressed fancy, rent a limo, and bribe the bouncer heftily to let us in. A quick persuasion check and we’re in and snooping around. The GM wads up about a whole notebook. “I had plans for you to come in through the skylight, sneak through the kitchen, break in through the fire exit, even find a secret door to the basement. I never thought you’d just go in through the front door.”

So sometimes it’s the GM that fails to plan the simple solution.

Like, how the fuck can you enforce that?

US Auditor: you have a DEI program?

CEO: non

US: what’s with all the woman, gays, and blacks?

CEO: they are jee most qualeefied

US: well…. Get more rich white men in here or we won’t be doing business.

CEO: zat sounds like affirmative action.

US: what?

Please forgive me trying to phonetically type a French accent, but again, this is some seriously dumb shit.

Meh, having experienced their deny and defend customer service, I’m not impressed. If there is no way to escalate an issue beyond someone who refuses to pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see an issue objectively, you’re stuck and there’s no recourse.

To be fair Kubernetes creates copies of the things it drops into the ocean to replace them as fast as they’re lost.

People who come from happy living homes in fantasy settings have no motivation to risk their lives and that happy home for an adventure.

The things that make the happy loving home work as a background are characters that either want to duck an arranged marriage or are so far down the inheritance chain they are going to be life long mooches if they stay.

I hate finding common ground with these idiots, but I think we can agree that a digital warrant is bullshit. That shit should be on an official document with a copy left behind.

You can’t stream the Westworld show either. It was an HBO made show.

I’ve seen a few classic cars retro fitted with Tesla batteries and engines from junkyard teslas. A common thread in that space is that you don’t get high speed charging. There weren’t really alternatives to super chargers at that time, so maybe they can use the other high speed chargers these days. Anyway, that’s tells me it’s possible, but that’s an extreme end of it. Just removing software probably requires a lot of specialized knowledge.
