- Comment on Windows 11 user has 30 years of 'irreplaceable photos and work' locked away in OneDrive - and Microsoft's silence is deafening 4 days ago:
I hate to blame the end user, the consumer, but yeah clearly at least some blame is to be put onto them. As outlined in the article.
To trust Microsoft cloud services & make that a single point of failure is exceptionally foolish…and they were moving all this data off of multiple old drives & consolidating onto one big one. Why not copy-paste? Why did they actually cut-paste, move all that data into the cloud?
If it was truly so “priceless”…just make another copy? Keep everything, always, until other copies are made.
I feel bad for the guy, but come on. That was a problem they themselves created. Clouds are for rain. Assuming this person is at least 40 years old (30 years of photos & work) if not significantly older, they are more than old enough to know better, to just blindly trust cloud storage with everything.

The pain is passing, but suicide often sends shockwaves through your family, friends, local community. The family members of a person who commits suicide are 2.58x more likely to commit suicide, themselves.
I’m not saying it’s “never justified”, but I’d think long & hard about it. Extremely old age, geriatric issues can really suck. But so does causing pain, suffering to others.

- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 3 weeks ago:
…fuck…that is very hard. This is not your relationship, nor did you cheat, and their problems have now been made yours(ish). I’m sorry you’re caught up in this.
That said, your mom raises some excellent points & personally I’d be inclined to live with her. She is correct. But we must also acknowledge that she is way too close to this situation & is blinded by hurt, rage; women are prone to making decisions based on emotion & not logic, reason. How much more when she is cheated on.
The fact remains, this man is your biological father. Personally, I think it is time to reassess the depth of your relationship due to his adultery. But to cut him out entirely, forever is kind of stupid, too. That is your father. You only get one father. Your relationship to him is different than your mother’s relationship to him. You can distance yourself & react appropriately to his impropriety without…completely destroying the ties of family. It will hurt your father’s feelings, and you know what? I think he should have his feelings hurt. A little. Understand, he threw your mother away, treated her very badly.
But what’s done is done. This is the family you have now, and you have to decide what is right for you. If you don’t leave your father & distance yourself at least a little, she’s right, you do condone his actions & you’re hurting your relationship with your mother. If you care about that. But I would keep those lines open, and your mother will fuss, but explain to her that is your biological father & you have made the decision to keep in contact with him. That is your right, as his child.

I think the weird-ass names are an attempt not for the parents to be different, but a generally severely misguided desire for their kids to appear different in a “Wowee, that’s special” kinda way. Everyone else has a ‘normal’ name. But not my kid; my child is so different and special and s/he’s going places, s/he’s gonna get out of here & do important things or be a famous athlete.
As we know, oftentimes that’s simply not the case…and it’s just a nightmare for the rest of us (and that child) to spell, say, etc. I find it incredibly frustrating, even though I know this wasn’t their choice, but their parents’. If their last name is weird shit, I politely ask for the first name. If the first name is also weird shit, I politely make a best guess phonetic whatever & move on.
Fun fact, it’s not exactly ghetto made-up name territory, but Oprah Winfrey…isn’t Oprah. Her given name is Orpah, named after a biblical figure in the book of Ruth. Very obscure, ancient name! Nobody knew how to spell or pronounce it properly, and they started calling her Oprah instead. 🙂 Now…we’ve got Oprah.

Respect, and idk what your pipe is, but I want to take this moment to spread the good word of DynaVap. Seems like a receptive audience.
DynaVap is a maker of small metal pipes that bakes the weed via convection, instead of destroying it via combustion. It’s gentler on your lungs, no smoke. It allows for a fuller extraction, more high. You can even use it inside & the vape dissipates relatively quickly, even still your gf could use a boof tube. You’ll spend $40 to $240 on a piece, but let’s be real, it’s more like at least $75-125 minimum because you don’t want the $39 B model. On sales they sometimes throw those in for free. Have some respect, don’t buy it.
The best part of all, besides being healthier for you, more discreet, better flavor, and gets you more high times – you can blow $230+ on the all-titanium HyperDyn & if you’re a heavy user, I can personally guarantee you will save $400+ buying flower. Once you stop burning that shit like a caveman & switch to convection bake, the flower lasts so much longer. To buy a legit ounce from dispensary where I live, that’s $280-300. It’ll last quite a while if vaping with a Dyna.
Any convection method will do, but if we’re talking Apocalypse/off-grid options, consider the Dyna – small, all metal, battery-free. Got an o-ring in there. Provided you don’t just lose it, you will die & your great-grandchildren could pick up your used Dyna & vape weed with it.

Louis Rossmann is correct: there is no reason to let your printer connect to the internet. They’re never going to release an update that makes the printer insanely better or more efficient. It might improve the program & functionality, just slightly? But every time it connects there is a very real possibility they push an update on your purchased goods to fuck you over. It’s not worth it.

- Comment on Lemmy horsepost 1 month ago:
Horse-fucking jokes aside, gonna be real here: actual horse girls are fucking crazy. I’ve known a few of them over the years, and all of them care more about horses than hours of their free time, space, money…
One guy had an unemployed wife with a horse. 🙄🙄🙄 Got their horse when he was 9, IIRC. So she’s not bringing in any money, this very normal & unimpressive horse is just eating through his finances & stealing an inordinate amount of attention of his wife from him. I think that fucker lived until he was 26 or 27, so do the math, he was financing that horse for 17 or 18 years. DDG’s AI assist says: “The annual cost of owning a horse can range from about $8,600 to $26,000”. Eh. Just assume the cheaper end of like $5-6K and still…$85K+, wth, right?
It should come as no surprise this regular-ass man seemed to be financially poor, despite working two jobs.
Another fun little anecdote, though, that may or may not be true -I’m inclined to think it is true- I hear horse girls that ride a lot naturally leads to very very very good sex, because frequent horse riding develops very strong core & pelvic floor muscles. Balance. Organic movements, rocking back & forth for hours on end. Basically they ride a horse & you can bet they can ride the shit out of you while fucking; the position is called cowgirl, after all. You just have to decide between a few hours of happy-happy fun times & having any serious amounts of disposable income, financial security.
I’ve come to the conclusion that you don’t marry a horse girl, but perhaps if you’ve got a girl you like you take her to ride horses sometimes. As a treat. Hell searching prices, assuming high end $80/session, you could do that twice monthly 24x80=$1920 annually. Or she could get herself involved in equestrian care & shovel the shit or whatever, and probably ride for free/cheaper. Idk this is just a mental exercise for me at this point, but personally I haven’t found a horse girl attractive enough, worth pursuing. Just some things for you to think about, good luck to you & your girlfriend, never ever ever let her talk you into buying a horse. That’s dumb AF. Rent instead!! 🙂

“While the city continues to dispute the claims of a gang takeover, Jurinsky has released a series of photos, videos and email exchanges she says prove the problem is worse than city officials have let on.”
…and you guys also forgot to mention the border state of New York.
This border state problem is a national problem.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 2 months ago:
It depends on the media you consume. This is no doubt a blind spot to most liberal media consumers, but conservative media has covered MS-13, sometimes extensively, especially in the months leading up to the 2024 POTUS election. We also heard about TdA, Tren de Aragua, in no small part because of Jose Ibarra, who raped & murdered Laken Riley.

- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
Yeah, that was poor wording on my part, probably just because that’s the terminology I hear all the time. I should probably amend that.
It’s true, due to the nature of the ear being really close to the head, the bullet didn’t pierce a hole through his ear. I don’t accept the bullet fragment theory, idk, I don’t see very-very accurate bullet fragments mid-flight. The bullets themselves can tumble or do crazy patterns, depending on weight & caliber, etc. I think the most logical working theory is the fully intact bullet grazing his ear mid-flight. Ears really can bleed heavily even from small cuts/pimples, at least mine do.
On a semi-related note, you all can watch regular, interesting, and/or terrifying custom rounds traveling in HD slow-mo on this YouTube channel. I believe their slogan is, “You make it…we mach it.” 😂😬

Smdh…indeed
We now live in cages, carefully crafted by laws & legislation over time. I am never shocked or surprised when governing powers place laws on commoners, anything to put their boot on our neck, nail down our identity for verification, or most importantly extract money from our bank accounts to give to the state to be wasted.
Smdh.

Or just, you know, death. 😂 No need to throw a “-cide” of any kind, enough of the time. I had a 50 y/o coworker die from cancer. Sad. Too soon. But he was worried about retirement…now he doesn’t have to. ¯\(°_o)/¯

There’s a lot or fishy things about that day. SS was…incredibly incompetent…but the photo op thing wasn’t their idea, at least it appeared that Trump was arguing with them to stand up & break free. SS surrounding him didn’t seem to approve of photo op.
Then there’s the shots that ranging out, and the casings on the roof. SS cleaned up the shooter’s corpse, the scene very quickly & they would not answer how many casings were found on the roof. There were 8 shots, IIRC? Then in follow-ups, they were pressed “how many casings were found on the roof?” And they never fucking answered. You can watch them continuously deflect. They must know, they have the answer, they don’t want to say. Answer the goddamn fucking question.
Very. Fishy. Indeed.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
I also wondered that, but honestly man there’s almost no fucking way. 😂 That was a very real bullet, that went through his ear, and killed the man behind him. Combine that with all the different random-ass factors others have mentioned with the ludicrously small margin of error. Turn your head at just the right time or fucking die.
Combine that with the shooter being a random child that looks like he had fetal alcohol syndrome, that’s the “man” carefully staging a very near-miss shooting. 🥴 I mean FFS, look at his face. I wouldn’t trust him with a complicated McD’s order, let alone shooting at my fucking ear and not killing me. 😂
The only way it was staged was if you could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump was very willing to die & become a martyr, which frankly I think he’s not against if it came to that, but it’s very clear the man loves life/living. Trump doesn’t want to die.

One must entertain the notion that maybe this was intentionally perpetrated to bring about those laws, disarm the general populace.
Could have been a lone gunman psycho.
Could have been a planned event, psy-op.

Will need to know which states, precisely. Because I don’t think that’s how anything works. This is a pure fictional hypothetical with made-up rules.
It probably isn’t hard to buy a black market gun, though; the laws don’t seem to stop the lawbreakers. Look at Chicago. 🙄

Yes, if your battery posts are corroded to shit you just stick that thing on there & twist it around, rub up & down, and it cleans the crud off.
Once the battery post is clean & connection made, I’d recommend a protective spray or even a nice, thick layer of petroleum jelly. Keeps it nice. 👌

I have no idea personally, I’m just telling you what I observe. And from what I’ve observed, it’s not this stupidly simple operation that anyone can do & it’s “basically a money printing machine”, as others on here are telling you.
If it doesn’t make dollars, it doesn’t make sense. As a general rule. That solar farm has gone under & sold ownership twice in idk 7-8 years.
I am pro-solar panel, and I was anti-wind turbine because the old fiberglass blade turbines filled with oil were dumb. But as I understand that technology, too, is improving & idk we’ll have to see how the new ones perform. Seems to me doing these things on a more commercial scale where you’re selling it to the grid can get a little fucky. There are reasons why it’s slowly taking off. There are reasons why people build, then sell, then the buyers sell. It’s probably a tricky endeavor with its own challenges.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
YMMV. We’ve got a local solar farm & the operation has gone belly-up, changed hands twice. It’s got to be on its third investor/owner. Also depends on the quality of your build & your local weather; that solar field isn’t even fully operational yet. Got hit by a massive hail storm maybe almost 2 years ago, it had to have smashed a couple hundred solar panels.
If you’re interested in it, I’d be very careful. Insure everything. Ask everybody, people in the industry if possible.
