You missed the the bit about dumbest tourists.

I get it that it is hip to hate on Americans right now, but your post is so unnecessarily self-righteous.

That’s when you are supposed to use Mr_Mofu’s technique!

I was going to say, I always had my e-brake on when I parked my car and so I always started the car with it on.

Does he mean slowly let off the clutch while releasing the e-brake? Does he put on his e-brake if he stops on a hill, in traffic too!

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

I feel attacked.

I feel personally attacked. This is me right now at the moment.

I hate congestion and coughs, but I can deal with them, but once I get a fever, it’s like my will to live has been taken away.

The worst is when it starts as a nasal drip, them slowly migrates to the lungs. Then I’m coughing up phlegm for at least a week.

Add on to that, how strong NyQuil affects my brain, it can be weirdly "out of body-ish’ for me.

(Does it take days for the side effects of NyQuil) Cough suppressants to wear off any of y’all too?)

How do you get to be a contestant?

The only item in my Honda (that I am aware of) that requires dealership attention is calibrating the “Honda Sense” sensors if they get replaced. And that is because the equipment required is so expensive, only the dealership carries it.

Plus, the only time I needed that was when I was hit by someone and the sensor was replaced because the panels were replaced.

I can still do all the minor maintenance myself, it is just a LOT more convenient for me to let my mechanic do it.

Love my Honda. (Please bring back the Fit!)

False.

Clarence jumped into the water, before George Bailey could, and then yelled for help.

Fuck, fuck, fuck CA,'s FTB. They can fuck themselves with a butcher knife. They’ll bill you for shit you don’t owe.

My wife dissolved her business and she she still got a tax bill for fucking YEARS. She did everything, but it didn’t stop until she called her old boss, a state legislator, who still had to have a face to face meeting with them (and he was not a nobody). We were lucky as fuck and had an ace to play, wtf is anyone else supposed to do?

Like WTF.

Note. DO NOT START A BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA. Be a contractor or pick another state, dear God.

Date a 17 year old when he was 30. Just sex predator stuff.

A. Who gives a fuck if Stamos didn’t actually shave his head.

B. Fuck Dave Coulier.

Unskippable ads, required downloaded updates, region restrictions…

Nah, I’m downloading that fucking car, I’m done giving movie studios chances to be reasonable.

They were good for a bit, but they are a slave to stock value and their finance bros will take every opportunity to squeeze you for revenue, ruining every experience.

One man’s waste is another man’s gold…

You can train your subconscious! Well, at least influence it’s decisions. Videogames are a great example. Trained reaction/response. Repeated response to similar stimulus can create a trained subconscious response.

However, I have difficulty, especially now that I’m older, where subconscious and conscious will compete and I will lose acuity of what I actually did.

That and my memory is getting worse. :/

All of my points have been vibes?

They were specific examples.

Lol, you’re a fucking dumbass that will refuse to listen to any argument that might actually cast doubt on your fantasy.

It’s called cognitive dissonance and makes you no better than a trumplican.

Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.

Because people fucking suck.

People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.

Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)

Religion. It was a great tool that helped raise civilization from small tribes. It created ethical mores that cemented the value of the individual. Then the ones that became powerful went on to become institutions of manipulation and control

There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.

The original commenter is right. This is a stupid meme.

I would be willing to pay an initial setup fee followed by some maintenance fee. I would expect the initial fee to be significant due to a custom setup/requirements. (I am talking just setup, not cost of hardware/ physical installation).

Unique home network with 2 managed switches.

Self hosted security DVR, automated computer backup, photo backup, network drive for document storage and then self hosting a Jellyfin server along with a torrent service.

(I am sweating just thinking about trying to set that up)

Storage will be a RAID setup where I can just upgrade by throwing a new drive into an open slot and replace (as necessary) existing drives by just swapping them out and server automatically handles the data management.

I have a VAGUE idea of what that takes

Maintenance would cover service calls to resolve problems due to security updates/patches, end of life upgrades, normal planned maintenance type of stuff.

User caused issues should be extra :) (i.e. I was just trying to install a Minecraft server)

Couple hundred bucks, at least, for setup. And that seems cheap.

I would pay $10-20 a month for a maintenance fee after an initial setup fee.

I would MUCH rather give my money to an individual sysadmin than a corporate megalith that will use my membership to force an arbitration clause to any future service of theirs I use. Fuck the mouse. Fuck em all. I tried to do it right and that still want enough for them.

I would be happy if I could pay you to just set up and periodically check my setup. I only say that because I would probably want to put together something that cost more than $150. But I am absolutely overwhelmed by what I don’t know. Every tutorial I read gives me more questions than answers.

I just want to self host, share it with a close circle of friends, and keep everyone else’s noses out of my business.

Let us know which town. Sounds like it’s already full of trash.
