  • My thought about the whole thing was that if someone went there and, in spite of the agreement they signed, teed off on the Saudis and whatever else they were forbidden from discussing, I’d have had respect. Was honestly hoping that’s what Burr was intending to do. I’d have donated to the GoFundMe for them to fight the inevitable lawsuit from the Saudis.

    Obviously didn’t happen. We live in a difficult world, and when presented with the choice between fighting (hard) and rolling over (easy), people take the obvious choice. I don’t know if I’m doing it differently.

    Are these sets even recorded and able to be viewed somewhere, or were they essentially private? If they’re private, I dunno, I get it.



  • My preferred beef, personally, is from local farms, and so I’m all about the idea about smaller farms. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t buy from factory farms, chicken, beef, and pork, but I try to go local when possible.

    Although as I’m writing this, I’m really not sure if local meats and their prices are affected much by the factory farms.

    So yeah, I guess all I mean is that I’m totally cool with an America that has fewer factory farms, the operations, from top to bottom, seem to thrive on just terrible conditions, environmentally and all. And I’m also cool with the massively wealthy families who own these farms maybe feeling a squeeze.





  • I have little to no background in IT or CS, but I always wanted to set up networks with those Ubiquiti antennas that can broadcast out a few kilometers. I got a buddy who just happens to be a few kilometers away. We could set up our own private, albeit incredibly limited, internet. Outside of that, if you’re using a utility or a service, you can’t expect your info to be locked up right. And so you need to keep certain shit offline, or use a HAM radio, or some other kind of private network for broadcasting, which is not feasible. But it would be neat.

    Could always have a really long string with cans on either end. Can’t tap that phone.



  • Unfortunately I don’t have a receipt in my email for it because I bought it at MicroCenter, got a really good deal on it. So I can’t remember what gen. I think I just need to enable the TPM thingy in the bios, but that it was specifically the processor that was the issue. All this is beyond me, I’m in following instructions mode and not inherent knowledge mode.

    A buddy of mine has the same, we bought them together, so I know it’ll work, I just need to do the work.
