I wonder if these shitheads claim to be pro-life.

I've not seen that one before, but it looks pretty strong. I'll need to keep it in mind.

I typically do a lot of camping that might involve stringing up a clothesline or just a ridge line to throw a tarp over. So I need something that will hold tension but won't necessarily cost a life. This is the version of the trucker's hitch that I tend to practice: YouTube link. The guy has a little bit of fluff in his video but he otherwise does a really good job of teaching the knot.

Davidson supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and on December 5, 2017, he wrote on his Instagram account that he got a tattoo on his leg of Clinton, whom he called his "hero", a "badass", and "one of the strongest people in the universe". Clinton thanked Davidson, joking: "This makes it significantly less awkward that I've had a Pete Davidson tattoo for years."

Ok, Hillary. I'll let you have that one.

Would have been a great opportunity for a military coup.

I ORDERED ONE LARGE FRY AND YOU GAVE ME A BUNCH OF FUCKIN LITTLE ONES

I'm a contractor at a rocket launch service provider. The final build of the ground control software is compiled and deployed to the launch pad with debug flags enabled because of a "fly like you test" mandate.

Millions of dollars and tons of time invested by brilliant people are riding on rockets that are launched using software with debug flags because of an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality and archaic test strategies.

It was me. I shot Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare.

I'm not even terminally ill.

It's a news article from 2019 for Ryan Kirkpatrick at Westpark Elementary School (a public school in Irvine California). He paid off the debt for only his 3rd grade class (not the whole school, not the whole 3rd grade, just his class). It was a total of $74.50. However, the school still serves hot lunches to kids with a negative balance on their account.

Apparently he paid it anonymously. (???)

Just stating facts above, but yeah, my opinion is that all public school lunches should be free.

It's like Oscar meets Birdcage. Which are 2 fantastic movies if you haven't seen either.

From this article all I can see is the Internet giving this man a well deserved warm embrace.

I knew he'd get caught eventually. In fact, I'm surprised and impressed he lasted this long. But I'm really hopeful his jury acquits him.

Refresh your feed. They found him.

If you (or anyone else that's reading this) are going to do illegal and questionable shit on the Internet, you might as well go whole hog and set up your own piracy and content distribution system on your home network.

1). First and foremost, you need to do this shit behind a VPN. You're specifically looking for a VPN with port forwarding so you'll get better download speeds on your torrents. I'm using ProtonVPN because when I was setting my rig up for the first time about a year ago, that was the top recommendation. Just do a little research and type in "best VPN for torrenting" into your favorite search engine. Set up your VPN as instructed. You'll want to make special note of the "openvpn" username/password. You'll need it later.

2). Next, you'll need hardware. While any old laptop that's been sitting around collecting dust is probably fine, you'll run out of storage on it pretty fast if you want anything more than a few shows and movies. If you're running out of storage space, I would recommend a Network Attached Storage device (NAS). There's lots of brands to choose from, but I'm partial to Synology.

3). Next (regardless of hardware) you'll want to be familiar with Docker and the container model. Essentially, containers allow you to run a little piece of software in a self contained virtual environment. All you have to do is tell docker the containers' dependencies and configuration and it'll spin up the container you ask for it.

4). Next you'll want to get smart on the arr stack. This is a set of services that run in docker containers that can completely automate your piracy activities. At a high level, you specify the TV shows and movies you're interested in, then the arr stack will search for the torrent, download it, and move it to where your content distribution service is scanning for new media.

5). Not sure where else to put this, but I'd recommend gluetun for the VPN client (this is where you'll need your openvpn credentials), qBittorent for your torrent client and Jellyfin for your media distribution. These are all services that can run in Docker containers. I'd recommend using the docker containers from https://fleet.linuxserver.io/ since they tend to standardize the configuration of their docker containers.

It's a lot to distill from into a single Lemmy comment, but hopefully this sets you on the right path!

I've been wondering why that didn't happen right then and there. A boy can only dream, I guess.
