They just need someone with a unique yet zany mustache to step forward as leader now.

Am in NC but have family right over the state line in TN. Can tell you they got it as bad if not worse in places. Where the Nolichuckey winds through some of the mountain counties there are areas where all the bridges/roads in those counties are completely washed out. The water isn’t receding fast enough either.

We’ve been in continual contact with friends who are completely stranded. No way in to the area and no drinkable water.

The news is not covering it and what they are is making it sound like there are only a handful of deaths when in reality there are probably dozens of people (or more) missing.

Am afraid this is going to just all get brushed aside for some other ‘News blip’ come next week.

Betcha we will see insurance companies come out of the woodwork to lobby against this like crazy.

Being a kid of the 80s and living on the tail end of the Cold War this is just so weird.

The Republicans then, under Reagan, really viewed the Russians with disdain. We were constantly told - both by them, school, and the media, how Russia and Communism was the greatest evil on this planet.

Now all I see every time I turn on the news is some shadow of a Republican, gargling the balls of a Russian leader or representative.

It’s WEIRD I tell you, it’s like that movie The Manchurian Candidate is playing out only they’ve replaced the whole party.

There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.

My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…

I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don’t recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.

OP after I got my printer and got it printing (using a thumb drive for files for a bit) I setup a Raspberry PI running Octoprint on my network. Basically the printer hooks to the Pi and it serves as a print server of sorts. You can then send files to the Pi, configure it to watch your prints remotely (with a camera) and do some pretty cool things with it.

There are tons of videos on YouTube of course. Just something to think about.

Clearly a WWJD moment.

Just imagine cocaine bread though. 🤔

True. Could be they are all liars and just trying to one up each other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Everyone that I work with that owns crypto brags about it non stop. Like it’s some sort of dick measuring tool. I assume it’s the same everywhere. They just cannot resist bragging about how much or how little they own of it.

I’ve never had an interest investing in it and never will.

The US government now uses it to charge people indiscriminately. I see the term in my local headlines once a month, at least, where someone gets tagged with this BS charge.

As one person said I used to think ‘dear God they must have a nuke in the basement’ but anymore you find out the person just had a sawed off shotgun or possibly the parts for a homemade silencer and a prosecutor got an instant hard on.

The whole reason I bought my Steamdeck was because I couldn’t get the Portal (thanks to scalpers).

Now I hardly ever turn the PS5 on because I am playing tons of games on Steam instead. When I do I am usually running something over my LAN via Chiaki to my Deck so others in my house can watch TV.

Mortal Kombat gave us that sweet sweet soundtrack.

Because what sane person, who upon walking into their home and finding a loved one unconscious (or even worse :dead:) doesn’t reach for their blender.

Amiright, guys??

I believe that cartoon images depicting sex of underage kids is still illegal. At least in the US.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but seems like I remember this from a news article a while back. Maybe it was just a specific state.

I am not going to Google that one though to find out though.

Event Horizon vibes

Would be a shame if something bad happened to fuck up that port and made it, unusable. 🤔

Am in NC and we’ve had multiple cases so far this year.

Here is the issue. Last several years we’ve had temperatures on the rise. 2023 was the hottest on record and 2024 is looking to be hotter.

We’ve had more rain as well in my area the last couple years and I am guessing the rest of the eastern seaboard is in the same boat.

I’ve seen numerous news posts, locally asking people to please dump any dog bowls, birdbaths, sources of water, etc weekly you may have in your yard (why you wouldn’t anyway I dunno).

I suspect we are in for a lot more of this in the near future as temperatures continue to rise.

‘The warship’s commander “is a big ‘Star Wars’ fan’

Lmao the commander is a top tier troll. I mean who wouldn’t love to float a giant grey warship down the Thames blasting the Imperial March??

You are correct.
