  • You’d have to constantly test. Just because a lines worker tested that the line is dead five seconds ago doesn’t mean some idiot just plugged one of these in.

    They can work, you just need to disconnect your house first then use it. It’s also a good way to burn your house down. If something on the same circuit as the generator pulls more current than the wires in the walls are designed to take, because there’s no breaker in the way anymore it can catch fire.



  • Wow your ignorance is astonishing. I’m not even an American and I can tell you that just because there was a Democrat in the Whitehouse doesn’t mean he controls the election. It’s written pretty plainly that the states are responsible for the election. The federal government just sets out requirements, so Biden had very little effect on the voter lists. State governors have much more influence on who votes and yes, voting did get harder between 2020 and 2024.





  • Look into your communities events pages or whatever it’ll be called and look for things that might be your interest adjacent. Go to community centers and look at their boards. Find a thing you’re vaguely interested in ago go. Then meet people there who can either tell you about other things that you might be interested in or continue what you’re doing. Churches often have good community boards too, depends on the church. Some are far less evangelical than others, your results may vary.


  • People are way to eager to be aggressive/mock other people when they get the chance instead of considering that the other person might A) just have a different opinion or B) they misunderstood something.

    That’s interesting that you’re accusing everyone of acting that way because I thought that’s how you were acting. Maybe you should take a step back and see that you’re calling the kettle black.




  • Then you might not want windows cause Windows forces updates on you whether you want them or not and break things. Linux will happily wait for you to forget for so long it breaks because the target API doesn’t accept your old ass code anymore. At least in Linux as long as I don’t forget I’m good. I sometimes forget




  • Yeah the movie really didn’t do the book much justice. The message was the same, but the movie completely undermined itself. Saying ‘Real life is more important than the digital world because it’s where real connections and food is.’ doesn’t hit as hard when it’s the very fact that it was Wade’s obsession with the digital world and having encyclopedic knowledge of Halliday that allowed him to win. The book is still clunky but it’s Wade’s actions in the real world that really set’s him apart from the sixers and gunters.

    His name is Jimmy McMillan and he’s the leader of the Rent is Too Damn High party. Interestingly enough, Mr. McMillan has not paid rent for 45 years. That said, he’s maintained that it is how high his disabled children’s rent is as why he’s chosen to make himself a political platform. For a vet with disabled children he’s pretty active.




  • It depends on what’s on the drive. I have a large library of games stored on striped spinning rust. What it does is let me play very old games without downloading them every time. When one fails which isn’t very often, I just buy a new one, rebuild the array and download again. Usually I’m downloading the library cause I did something stupid and broke it.

    Any data I value at all is at least in a redundant array and anything that I don’t want to ever lose is in a proper 3-2-1 solution. Keeps the costs down, cause I’d be sad if I lost my jellyfin stuff but screwed if I lost my pictures or tax stuff.
