It’s the pyramid scheme of religion: you only get saved if you brought a bunch of people to the religion cult. Only 144000 people will be saved. At a certain point there are no more people to bring to the cult and the bottom ones/newest initiates won’t have anyway to make money get saved

I’m sure they will blame the libs and the Democrats for it because they are the ones pushing for a bigger minimum wage. Without it, employer’s can collude to drive down wages, making higher paying alternative jobs non existent. Everything pays pennies!

Afaik profit is profit whether it’s from subsidies or sales. On top of that, the government gave them grants to develop said vaccines, so r&d was highly discounted… Production of most vaccines as way cheap compared to r&d, so I doubt there is ever any “selling for a loss”. Combine that with state mandates requiring kids to get vaccines before attending school (I’m not saying this is bad… Public health is a good thing), and you have a captive customer base.

A lot of Mr brain worms plans would seriously cut into the profits of major pharmaceuticals and agricultural behemoths that are major donors of Trump’s campaign. I can’t imagine them allowing trump to cut into their profits like that.

Polar bears and penguins lack the coordination for true kung fu mastery

Every body (in the blue area) was kung-fu fighting. The parenthetical part was removed for rhyme scheme

No. New Zealand is there. They were not kung-fu fighting. The places they were not kung-fu fight are cored white. It’s just unfortunate that it is also the background color

My point (i.e. the “high hopes” part) is that this sounds legit and awesome. I do my best to be an optimist, but I have been burned way to many times to not concede that there may be ulterior motivation afoot.

I have high hopes but my logical side says they can just be pandering like any of the other politicians: they know people support it, they know it will fail. They look good for backing it even tho they aren’t worried about changing the status quo either

Maybe it depends on the access point. When I turn it off on my router there are no beacons sent. Unless you specifically probe the ssid it doesn’t announce itself. BUT granted when you make a connection the ssid does show up during the handshake. If you were watching at the exact moment of connection then it would be detectable. I suppose they could use a mass deauther device and cause new connections and detect while that is happening but they they would need to triangulate the location of said ap… Again a lot of extra equipment.

I would set up your router, turn off ssid broadcast and forget about it. It’s doubtful they have the equipment to find an access point that doesn’t actively announce itself to the world .

Edit: it means you will have to manually add your wifi network to your devices by typing in the ssid on them but other than that there shouldn’t be any issues

Sounds cool but most of the folding phones I have seen are as thick as 2 phones stacked when folded. If this is now 3 phones thick I think it looses some portability unless you put new pockets on your pants.

That’s fine. I’m use to being unrepresented in the arj, lha, and uc2 crew

I suppose it is tar version dependent, but on any recent Linux version I have used, you can just tar xvf <tar_name.tar.{z,gz,xz,etc}> and it will automatically figure out if it is compressed, what tools were used to compress it, and how to decompress it.

But you are right, x and c are mutually exclusive.

Touché.

But in fletch he is a pompous asshole who (thinks he) is smarter then everyone else in the room. In the three amigos he is just a clueless pompous asshole. But I see the difference.

See: fletch.

Purple cables go in, blue cables go to the cloud as you can see.

Or - hear me out - or it is a bit of cotton on the end of an Ethernet cable.

Sure! I’ll hire you without even answering the questions. Of course I’m not the op, I dont work in the it field (any more) and none of my open positions involve programming… But you have a job with my company whenever you need one.
