This all started long before Citizens United. The “southern strategy” used in the 1950s was probably the start of it. Reagan cozying up to the evangelicals was a big step. The Koch brothers had a vague roadmap that looked a lot like project 2025 in the 1980s. Starting in or around 2000, the republicans made a strong push to win state and local elections and pack the judiciary with conservative zealots. The explosion of the internet and social media let them put their propaganda machine into overdrive. The truth died of COVID-19 but it was terminally ill for decades before that.

What a terrible, wasteful idea. Cracking hydrogen out of water at home will waste so much electricity that you may as well just drive a damned car.

Idiotic propaganda probably paid for by the fossil fuel industry

To hell with accessing it. I want to get rid of it, permanently. I hate everything about it.

Your penultimate statement is an absolutely textbook example of survivorship bias.

The average lifespan of a washer has declined a little but the frequency of use during that lifespan has increased measurably.

Survivorship bias is a heck of a drug.

They’re not ignoring it, they’re suppressing it.

I use freetube and/or smarttube every day, sometimes for pretty long periods, and I’ve never experienced more than brief hiccups.

I would bet this tracks fairly closely to percentage of pickup truck owners

June Hymn - The Decemberists

 

I'm using a docker compose file, and I have everything running just fine, containers talking to each other as needed, NPM reverse proxying everything via a duckdns subdomain... everything's cool.

Problem is, I can still go to, for example, http://192.168.1.30:8080/ and get the services without http.

I've tried commenting out the ports in the compose file, which should make them only available on the internal network, I thought. But when I do that, the containers can no longer connect to each other.

Any advice for me?

Edit:

Thanks for the quick & helpful suggestions!

While investigating bridge networks, I noticed a mention that containers could only find each other on the default container bridge by container name, which I did not know. I had tried 127.0.0.1, localhost, the external IP, hostnames, etc but not container names.

In the end, the solution was just to use container names when telling each container how to find the others. No need for creating bridge networks or any other shenanigans.

Thank you!

 

I like this one better than the more recent American version with Gere and Lopez.

 

I'm currently using an AMD 5950x and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 LHR, pushing video to a Dell U4021QW, which is a 40" monitor running 5120x2160@60hz. A few of the games I play are pretty challenged at that resolution, so I'm thinking of upgrading at least the video card. Is there any reason to build a new system with a newer CPU as well?

 

Somebody said we needed more Nick Cave.

 

Way back in 1820, Noah Webster penned a rather prescient speech that talked about the problem of inequality. Some of what he said would be considered problematic today, but IMO the core of his speech rings very true.

The freest government, if it could exist, would not be long acceptable, if the tendency of the laws were to create a rapid accumulation of property in few hands, and to render the great mass of the population dependent and penniless.

In such a case, the popular power would be likely to break limit and control the exercise of popular power. Universal suffrage, for example, could not long exist in a community where there was great inequality of property. The holders of estates would be obliged, in such case, in some way to restrain the right of suffrage, or else such right of suffrage would, before long, divide the property. In the nature of things, those who have not property, and see their neighbors possess much more than they think them need, cannot be favorable to laws made for the protection of property. When this class becomes numerous, it glows clamorous. It looks on property as its prey and plunder, and is naturally ready, at all times, for violence and revolution.

 

I've been doing the crossword, spelling bee, and wordle for a long time, but I just started doing letter boxed about a week ago. Any tips to help me get better?
