Also a bunch of other issues with small town living like lack of privacy/anonymity, entertainment, restaurants, government services, etc… And these problems get more severe the smaller the community.

But people really did spread out to smaller towns during COVID. Property values went crazy in a lot of small towns around me.

Haven’t used Ansible in years. Has it been improving over the years or has it mostly just stayed the same?

I’m with you. I refuse to believe the American machinery would allow us to attack an ally any time soon. A lot would need to change.

Completely ignoring and never talking to them.

You can use any temp, really. There’s a pretty good window of a minute or two for being able to touch them. Just don’t leave them in too long and always use a potholder to pull them out just in case.

There is no one thing. Democrats have floundered for… decades. They did a thing during Obama but largely as a party they’ve done nothing for most of America except maintain.

Then there’s MAGA which is kind of a new thing. It goes beyond ideology. I’d argue there is no ideology, beyond maybe a few wedge issues that are just used to build ranks. To me it kind of looks like useful idiots being wrangled by those that control information. But the idiots are at the top and the bottom of the chain include the politicians and the electorate so it’s confusing.

People also got soft, complacent, and poorer. Lots of people just completely checked out of their civic duties. Either because they can’t be bothered, or because they’ve got more important things to worry about.

There’s probably also lots of other topics leading into the current political climate that I haven’t even touched on. Trying to explain it away as one thing doesn’t really work.

Keep fucking that chicken.

We forgot to perform maintenance on everything.

PorkBun has been pretty great to me for years. Good prices, lots of TLDs, good support, and their site is pretty straight forward.

No, they’ll define it in a way that will exclude Obama.

They probably peer with many local networks just for redundancy. I don’t know what the fuck this was.

Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, said the installation was done to “improve wifi connectivity on the complex”.

And they had some DOGE kid climbing on the roof next door for some reason.

I miss competency.

Nicole got 'em.

As much as I’d like to say like 21, probably 25 since that’s when your brain is apparently fully developed.

Don’t bring that thought into reality.

There’s so much other federal land that can be logged before going for the tourist attractions. It would just politically look bad if they did. I’d say probably not.

EDIT: You know what, on second thought, I’m still surprised every day what this administration is doing so I could see them doing it just to show they can.

I’ll usually have 2 or 3 meals in mind that’ll carry me for the week. I’ll make something that will have leftovers (stews, stir fries, etc), and other things that can be easily repeated (fried eggs, bagels, sandwiches, produce for salads, etc).

Once I get to the store things can change a bit according to what’s available or what looks good.
