    @Foler Firefly 3 update. Got this all up and running using an old raspberry pi I had laying around. An old Pi 3 that I bought in 2018. Runs fine but I didn't realize that their data importer is an entirely separate application that is not part of their application and you have to do some...

    Winter 2024 Anime Thread

    This is definitely one of the stranger animes in recent years. I always liked the art style a lot though. Should be good.

    Ah man I'm with you. When I first moved to Austin I slept on the floor for 6 months because I didn't want to buy furniture. Hippy Austin girls thought it was cool so I just rolled with it. Get a mint mattress as they cost like $800. Or rather they did...

    They're going to redefine what counts as plagiarism as just as many of their own shitbirds are guilty of it.

    He would still be cool with it if he thought he could remain on the oppressed side of the dynamic. Make no mistake.

    ROFL what a whiney cunt. Literally exactly what he was planning to do with AI and what Rufo has already done. I welcome the storm of plagiarism accusations now that its known to be a highly effective weapon when used even by independent media like Rufo.

    Now I get to spend the next week auditing everything he could have touched or squirreled away. Joy.

    Best I can piece together he got mad about not getting a Senior Director promotion and lashed out by misusing his access to employee data. I am not really sure.

    Taxes

    I thought I did but I honestly don't know. I just submit whatever Etrade provides but I guess I could have missed one? I had thought they consolidate all the dividends into one singular document?

    Taxes

    This year my etrade account became subject to a backup tax withholding thing on dividends. I did not receive any notice or anything about this so I am unclear the cause of it. I don't have super complicated returns and just do it all on turbo tax every year with the documents they provide. I am...

    Don't even need to do that. Just go back to 2001 or something, work a bullshit job, and put every single spare cent into broke apple stock and google.

    Ancient Civilizations

    I think it's always been that way. In the 19th century a sawmill operator who loved the great outdoors put forward the idea that glaciation is what shaped the valleys and peaks of North America. He came to this conclusion by wandering around Yosemite and observing things. He was called an...

    How many fucking times does it have to be said in this thread that aliens and shit is not what we are talking about? What you are doing is taking the "experts" as 100% correct and all you do is defend it for some reason. Even when numerous examples already exist of the experts being totally...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Something for @Chris to attempt to digest. But also an interesting listen. This is a contemporary example from the 20th century. Where in the 1930s researchers discovered the Clovis culture down in New Mexico. This was material evidence that people had lived in the Americas ~12500 years ago...

    I can't be a coat tail riding dicksucker. I am physically incapable of kissing ass enough to do it. Though I do admit that it can be efficient and very beneficial if done correctly.

    I think its the whole thing where Boomers instead spend every single penny they have, even after inheriting sizeable sums from their own parents. Then reverse mortgage the family home for additional retirement income. On top of pushing their children into taking on huge debts that they never had...

    One argument I heard about that recently. It's that the Silent and Greatest generations that survived the hardship period of the Great Depression all had it ingrained in them to pull yourself by your bootstraps. That nobody is coming to help you and you need to work hard as you can to survive...

    I harp on this a lot but I have seen a lot of people move into Salesforce, ServiceNow, and other enterprise platform specialties later in their careers. As the pay is excellent and you can move into the field with most backgrounds.

    I know a dude who went from an office job into commercial HVAC. He makes like $120k and gets overtime and bonuses. Seems to be where the real money in HVAC is. He said that the controllers for commercial units are all done in old school C programming. You just have to connect some terminal tool...
