Lol Russian soldiers on US soil? The US military would do good to hang back, avert their gaze, and let the US citizens handle things how they see fit. Plausible deniability and all that
The shooter was actually 3 ukranian biolab drones in a trenchcoat
Came here to say Zomboid!
Also, OP, dont be afraid to jump straight into mods. You dont have to fuss with a single file. Right from the start, inside the client, you can join modded multiplayer servers. The mods are automatically installed and applied then and there. Zero setup! I say this because a whole heap of mods are strictly quality of life and they really ease the learning curve.
However, picking and choosing your own mods for your own server is the headache you might expect. Let some saintly admin do all that work for you.
Maybe its just the way you say it.
Weird. You have two top level comments, and two replies in this thread where you’re offended that someone might find humor in an aspect of their job. Are you ok, dude? Is DNS your girlfriend? Should we stop talking about her? Youve been in IT for 30 years - maybe its time to retire.
In front of both; Normal wife was sitting on secret wife.
I cant say enough great things about these rural electric companys rolling out their own fiber. I had an interesting opportunity a while back to do contracted field work for a bunch of small midwest/gulf state electric companies, and was absolutely blown away by the work they’re doing.
The first one I worked, I was extremely confused by the communications on all of their poles thinking ATT came through and delivered the nicest fiber id ever seen to cows and corn until I came across the linemen casually splicing fiber on the back bumper of their bucket truck. ATT was copper only in the area, even in the small town they werent even trying - the electric company was dominating.
The whole mood was wild really, most of these companies were co-ops that were tied into the community already, and its really the community that decided the co-op should do internet too. I never got to be an actual customer of any of these, so i never got to know what it feels like to tell ATT to kick rocks and then actually be able to do something about it. But every single customer and employee was feeling it and it wasnt hard to get them grinning about it.
The options available to them were also something to behold. Its their poles. Communications always go under power, and normal communications companies kinda sorta just work with what they get after the electric company uses all the space they need. These guys can rearrange their electric lines to make way for communications all in the same day. ATT would probably get bogged down under 8 months of red tape if they tried to do that.
One of these co-ops would even use space on their poles for directional wifi antennas. Some rural houses would have a half mile driveway, and the power line has long since been buried, so they just beam internet wirelessly from fiber on the main road and skip the expensive buildout to lay fiber for one person. I got to chatting with one guy that had this setup. His house was downhill from the road, so right next to his house they ended up installing the absolute tallest wooden utility pole i have ever seen, i dont even remember the footage, but all that was on it was a single 10 inch wifi dish at the very top. He still got a few hundred both ways, those directional antennas were impressive, and they just power them off their own electric grid.
It really was a daily eye opener of how it could be if these shit ISPs didnt control everything. I strongly encourage everyone to look up to see if youre served by one! You might be surprised, they sometimes whittle in close to some larger cities, if you live in some newer neighborhoods on the outskirts…but man look at me ramble
They actually make things just like this for this specific purpose. Amazon has a 7 pack for $5, and Ive got them from Home Depot too. Looks like theyre calling them a “Hair Drain Cleaner Tool”
When I took handwriting lessons I had to draw each number 100+ times in a row, so I guess I could say I’ve been googoling since 1987
For me, mIRC had a clunky but useful script editor included that 14 year old me spent countless hours creating little chatbots with
I dont know, the issue reminds me of tech support calls id get back in the day for people who got angry at their ISP when they mixed up IMAP and POP3. Maybe step through exactly how this message service handles copying and deleting before using it to hire prostitutes for years.
The original Xbox had a tray because it was basically a PC, and had a standard IDE CD-ROM with some minor changes. They weren’t standing apart, they were following the new standard of the time, PCs, and it was probably more to do with cost savings by using common parts. They also had a standard IDE HDD. Even their weird proprietary controller port they used on the original Xbox is just USB! Its the same wires, they just screwed up the pinout. you can replace one of those weird controller ports with a normal female USB and then plug all sorts of USB devices into the Xbox and they just work.
I only single out the Xbox because I’ve taken them apart, I imagine the PS2 is similar. At least PS2 didn’t intentionally mess up their USB ports.
The first casualty of those battery fires is probably going to be someone handcuffed and locked in the back seat.
Can we be neighbors?
Is there going to be some opportunity for a round table discussion where they rate the consequences out of 5 stars? A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
