Every election for the rest of our lives is the most important election of our lives. Don't ever forget what has been done. Vote like your life and the world depend on it because frankly, they do. If you want another generation to grow up even close to the same quality of life we've had, it is critical to recognize that one party has been actively rolling back protective legislation over and over again against the better interest of the people of thos country and the world. Its absolutely disgusting.

Yeahhhhhh, I used to recommend his channel to young engineers and techs because of how thorough he was at explaining the how and why of mechanisms. I don't anymore which is a shame because he was knowledgeable.

I make decent money and live in Texas. My wife is currently pregnant and the state's policies on maternal care during pregnancy scares the shit out of me. In the case of a medical emergency money doesn't buy time.

The education policies being pushed by the state government are also terrible and private schools are not really any better in that regard. We could homeschool but I am not interested in that for my child.

The general rhetoric demonizing and taking the basic human rights of immigrants, LGBT, and other marginalized communities is also really hard to hear.

Several mass shootings as schools and public places with no interest in taking any kind of preventative actions is disgusting.

The property taxes have become a significant burden on our housing price with no sign of that changing anytime soon.

The state government is opernly corrupt and hostile to anyone who is not a Republican and quietly hostile to the Republicans who aren't high income, powerful, or political donors. Look at our power grid and the states actions after the freeze.

Money can't buy your way out if any of these. We stay because our families live nearby and we want our kids to grow up around them. If I could convince them to move with us, I would leave in a second despite living here for the last 30 years.

Kind of the flip of the question but far cry 5 was particularly infuriating when it came to bullshit plot devices that override the players choices/skills. The boss fights were rigged with fixed outcomes regardless of what you hit the boss with. The fact that you could hit an unarmored human in the head with a rpg and see the explosion but the game was just like "yeah but the story says he's alive so he's alive. Also he is about to wreck your shit for... reasons..." drove me crazy...

Im a straight white male and I don't particularly feel safe living in Texas. This state has become a shitshow.

Windows media center alone is worth resurrecting win7 for.

Texas passed a law in 2022 preventing Texas from doing business with companies that "boycott Israel" can we somehow get rid of Cruz and Cornyn for this? https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/GV/htm/GV.2271.htm

They are likely IP rated in some form or fashion, that means they are rated for protection for a period of time at a certain depth. Deeper water or longer time in water means you still get water past the seals.

It could also be a control fault or short on the electrical side allowing the other components to catch fire or overloading the batteries causing them to overheat and catch fire.

Nah, it will just become YOUTUBE SEARCH, YOUTUBEMAIL, YOUTUBECHAT, and YOUTUBEMAPS

The fast food chain Dairy Queen is different than those branded "DQ". It is not a real Dairy Queen unless it is written out fully and does not use the DQ logo on the store. I will not elaborate further nor eat at DQ. There are still a few real stores in really small towns.

I am curious as to what the repeated knocking on ~30 minute intervals that was picked up on sonar ends up being if not from the sub.

Nah, the og motorola defy had removable battery, ip67 rating, expandable storage, and a headphone jack. It was a tiny phone and it was brilliant.

The final season which ret-conned all the weird stuff post Burnie was supposed to come out last fall and is still not out. I'm not super hopeful it will now.

Yeahhhhhh, fresh water for the amoeba and salt water for flesh eating bacteria... got both bases covered.

Does it cook the same as regular cream?

That is part of why I liked New Vegas so much, they were just like "yeah you can kill Caesar in camp, go ahead, the story is now differerent and you don't get these quests but oh well, your choice"

Gotta keep your electrolytes up too. I learned that one the hard way. You don't need to do that in an office, you do when its 110 degrees in the shade and doing physical activities.

You should read the John Dies at the End series

I had a treo 650, a centro, and a tungsten before that and they worked shockingly well looking back on them.

It is not my primary method of audio use, I use bluetooth earbuds/headphones in a workshop environment for that so I don't get the cables caught on machinery or materials but I use it when traveling or listening to music at home because the sound quality is better and there is only one device to keep track of or charged. Its not an everyday thing but still a requirement for me.

That's a hill I will die on. Bring back rugged android phones under 6".

I was born im 1990, grew up on desktop computers, and did the hunt and peck thing until I actively began using my keyboard for research papers, essays, etc. It is a skill that I picked up on with use, not from instruction.

Looks like the Sea-Aggies have decided to secede.

Derp, I missed the "media" in the title... My bad Its been a morning already.

The commercials in the film were an excellent addition.

Yeah, I ugly cried for a good 30 minutes from the end of The Good Place. It was excellent but it hit me really hard.

The Dropkick Murphys albums This machine still kills fascists and Okema Rising are both great modern albums with Woody Guthrie inspiration/lyrics.

Does the tv tuner and tv guide work? I tried a few alternatives a few years back and they were garbo. Wmc always just worked.

Nah, this bathroom has been like this since the early 2000s.

The original Moto Defy got it right the first time with ip67 rated, removable battery, expandable storage, and a headphone jack. The next major improvement came with the xperia z(or z3) and they got waterproof charge ports and headphone jacks (no port plug required) but ditched the removable battery. Every other phone since seems to have stripped away some useful feature since. The new defy 2 is going to have satelite messaging but is huge and no removabpe battery or headphone jack iirc.

Yeahhhhhh luthier-ing is a rabbit hole all its own... I am about to start on build 3, from a tree in my yard.

Atlanta is mostly blue now so we should probably update the route.
