This is the excuse my employer gave. So I'm to take a pay cut (gas, wear and tear on my vehicle, loss of time to commute) so I can spend more money to prop up other businesses for a tax break that is likely to go into some rich ass C-levels bonus or shareholders pocket for cut costs?

Fuuuck that. Its just another way of picking the labor class clean to the bone.

Wording confused me at first glance also. Pretty much flexing he is not as smart as 91.9% of the population.

UHC is top insurance company per the stock market.

UHC denies the most claims costing people their lives who can't afford medical care out of pocket.

Shooter is praised for pulling an uno reverse card on the UHC CEO by denying them medical care through taking their life.

And why the fuck are they allowed to be funding our representatives. "Do what we want with the wealth we didn't earn or the bribes stop."

Trump didn't even try to get elected. Total fuck it all pill during his running like he knew he was going to win, then he wins by a huge margin electorally and the popular vote. It was surreal.

This shit pisses me off. Fix our damn healthcare system for fuck sakes.

We don't fund the mental health services needed.

We fuck over chronic pain patients treating them like addicts.

Many are disabled on both sides. We expect them to fill out paper work with every "I" dotted and "T" crossed. You screw up once? Now you start over. Many places that could offer real help just won't take state aide because they take forever to pay.

If you do have a job, even below the poverty line but just enough to have insurance, welcome to ridiculous copays and deductibles.

It pains me when I've seen someone making progress with mental or physical therapy as a path to coping but fall due to one paperwork or appointment mistake withdrawing those services without a safety net.

They won't treat the root cause for many by just going single payer and de-privatizing health care. Need something to campaign on to funnel more cash to our military complex.

Getting deep into tech privacy has solved this for me. My browser essentially resets itself to factory defaults every time it opens. No more purple links!

I hate these and like every bank uses it. Ignoring the fact they tell you the code above, SMS is not secure. Its slower than letting my password manager fill in a Passkey or TOTP which are more secure.

What is the point of being dismissive of parent's concerns and straight up misrepresenting what they said in the last "quote"?

I'm in favor of making the law gender neutral, and quickly without having answers to all these questions.

Doesn't mean there won't be unintended consequences that aren't worth discussing to get ahead of them.

My gut reaction is if its legal in public does that make it legal in the media? Will publishers and advertisers use this to further objectify women? Even though I'm asking these questions, I'm 100% in favor of gender neutral laws for media and advertisements.

My off the cuff and likely unrealistic solution that has nothing to do with gender is to just ban most forms of advertising out right. This includes never requiring users to make the "choice" to agree to any ads in the terms of services in order to access goods and services (e.g., gas pumps, accessing a bank account, etc.).

SSDs are pretty pricey for video. I use HDDs, mirrored. For some uses I put a SSD caching layer on top to speed up frequent R/W. Using only LVM, no fancy RAID hardware or anything.

I have no empathy for most politicians or the harm they have done out of greed.

I'm not in favor of a single individual being judge, jury, and executioner.

Our system for dealing with corruption is insufficient and infected by the corrupt.

Other than some Ghandi-level mass nonviolent resistance, one is likely to just end up on the streets (as designed by the corrupt in question), or the way things are going, soon a wall.

It sucks...

Is your friends client config setup for split tunneling?

If the client config installs a default route to the VPN you will get all their traffic.

The server config can refuse to forward traffic to the internet, but then your friends will be effectively on your LAN but otherwise appear to have no internet access.

Its a good idea to restrict which IPs on your LAN they can access, but the client config also needs route only those IPs over the VPN.

Way over generalization below but some examples.

Neurodivergent - Explore other gender identities (feminization).

Prostate orgasms - New ways to cum (Pegging, bi, bi-cuckold).

Dealing with trauma (taking control) - Cheating (cuckold), smaller gentiles (chastity), cheating (cuckold), forced acts (bdsm).

Persons making decisions all day - Vaca from having to decide (FLR).

Disabilities (partner) - Let her take control.

Porn addicts thinking its easy sex - Mommy Dom, Findom.

YAML is (mostly) a superset of JSON. Is the face hugger any less evil than the alien bursting out of your chest?

Good luck if you run a de-googled ROM. I can't install sandboxed Google Play Services inside the profile because its not approved. I could try and sideload it in, but I'd rather just go without.

Ben and Jerry got you covered with the premade stuff.

Good ole Sinclair.

Its a number but also on a physical card. The physical card is often used as one form of proving you are who you say you are (like getting a license, passport, etc).

You really want Thread over Matter

Do you mean over WiFi? Matter and Thread don't have overlapping functionality. In the OSI model, Matter is like layers 6-7, Thread covers 3-5, and 802.15.4 is 1-2 (MACPHY).

Matter also works over Ethernet and WiFi.

ZigBee is like 3-7 also using 802.15.4.

Z-Wave is also like 3-7 with some sub-GHz MACPHY.

For Matter, low power devices and sleepy devices should use Thread to optimally conserve battery.

Ethernet > WiFi unless wireless is needed for other use cases like cameras, media boxes, dedicated power, etc.

Bluetooth (low energy) last I checked is only supported for commissioning a device. It does use the Matter protocol, and I've blinked some lights on test hardware over BLE, but it wasn't officially supported.
