With what I do for a living (Cybersecurity work), I could actually put around 4gig to solid use. WHen I get the place away from town I am probably going to convert this house into a rental. Wondering what the logistics to having it be rented with "Free internet and wifi" so that I could keep a...

I bask in 2G here )with a 5 static IP package.. of course. I hear 5g is hitting later this year.... Getting fiber though is a huge longshot in rural Texas right now, so when I escape the city it will probably be to slum it like a beggar on Starlink.

As mentioned the main use we have for this is ground beef. From time to time I can get a great deal somewhere I will buy a LOT of it. Usually in normal packs. Then we divide into around 1lb portions (since with just two of us, thawing/cooking 1lb at a time is around the right amount). Put...

Yeah, you can lay them flat, or even stand them on end like you were putting plates in a dishwasher....

We have some like that around here already. (We have accumulated so many different "reusuable" bags it's kinda crazy). I think I'm going to give either this or cardboard partitions a try. That way I have a "beef stack", and a "chicken stack", and then stack the pre-packaged meats (like...

That tidbit about the labor participation rate makes complete sense to me. Full disclosure, I turned 54 yesterday so I'm at the upper edge of that "prime" bracket. I know a lot of people in my age range and a little older who essentially got nudged into retirement during Covid. Companies had...

I'm torn on this one.... I am a cyberhistory buff, and things around the Manhattan project are massive in the world of how all the technology we use and work with today is how it is, so I am definitely compelled by the subject matter. But 3 hours.... damn....

OK, so this isn't a true "Prepper" question, or maybe it is... But this seems to be the best place to drop it. Deep Freezer Inventory Management So, we have a chest freezer here which we use for storing meat. We also have a second fridge which we store some things in (mostly bread and such...

It's the 8th of July... your birthday. You have a great lunch with family, your bestie sends you birthday cupcakes that spell out "You're my boy, Blue!", you finally have your car back from getting hail damage repaired, the construction project on your house is finally done except for just...

As opposed to my mother who seems to have her one rating scale being "How good are their chicken and dumplings"

We live on different ends of a spectrum. I have asked my mother where she wanted to go on mother's day. Literally, anywhere she could want to eat at. Her answer?

I did pellet therapy for years. In my early 40's I had a test done and I had an insanely low number (like 124 or so). I did pellets for around a decade, they said the only notable potential real side effect risk was reduced fertility. Since I know I'm shooting blanks effectively that didn't...

I think it's under the concept that demand for commodities precedes demand for product. Since you would need commodities to manufacture goods. If commodity prices are down, that means demand is down, that means producers are anticipating lower demand for finished goods. So a downturn in...

Yeah, even my company is rattling off the AI buzzword like it was the magical fairy dust which will make us all into princesses. Lemme check... Yep.. we just also quietly clocked a 52 wk high as well...

It's the 4th of July... You could be out throwing a few back, blowing some shit up, and screaming about freedom... But the highlight if your night? You realize you have a few hours left to snag some fancy ass copper thread laced uber-boxers from Duluth Trading for $12 a pair with no shipping...

I think it will impact them in that they will realize how many people don't consider it worth it to get a subscription if they were just using a friends login from time to time. They'll have some sub increase I'm sure, but it's not going to be what they are hoping for.

stragely enough, I have a brother in law who seems to love that place.

There are a lot of reasons. One is that the streaming services are all competing for the same user base, so there's a race to the bottom on price. For instance. I have HBO Max, and Paramount +, and pay for neither because they were free with other things I was getting. These subscriptions...

So last week I had to have surgery. Multiple cystic formations in my left leg. Doc told me after it looks like something called Hidradenitis suppurativa, which at first I thought sounding like a really expensive strain of pot... But it turns out it means my sweat glands basically hate me...

You are SERIOUSLY overestimating how many people still have a media player for physical media anymore. And yes I am including talking about Xbox/PS/gaming platforms.

So. I'm loitering on the cesspool which is FaceBook since that's where all the really olds in my existence (like my mom) are. And I now see they have "short videos" as a section, looks like trying to bridge the FB/Insta/TikTok chasm in some way. Cool, whatever, it suggests these random...

I look at that picture, and all I can imagine is that Harrison Ford is asking her what she's done with the gelflings and that she will never get to the crystal in time...

You sir, are an officer, and a gentleman!

Time to necro a thread to get ready for the greatest holiday in the entire damn world!

When you go in for an outpatient surgery to get masses removed from your left leg... But somehow get home and actually don't feel like you need to be bedridden for a week, and in fact feel good, and you definitely know that even through your groin looks like you somehow went between 2nd and 3rd...

Nope, it won't even do the one which WOULD be promoting a black American.. photorealistic picture of mount Rushmore, replacing the face of Washington with the face of Clarence Thomas That generates the "Against TOS" warning.

I tried requesting that image in the bing image generator... I got this :

OK. I have a great need for a specific kind of generated image but I'm also a cheap bastard who doesn't want to pay for a service to do it. What are the best options around for me? The prompt in question is... a photorealitic picture of mount rushmore, but featuring the faces of Clarence...

I think there's a good middle ground between what the MCU does (every phase leads to a huge universe threatening thing and massive team up) and completely disconnected movies. The movies can exist in the same universe, but not have to intersect except what a natural story arc makes sense for...

Thank you! That is what I was thinking, but sometimes I see numbers and either they look WAY too optimistic, or WAY too pessimistic. 12 months from now lines up to what I'm seeing and thinking on one of the stocks I am looking at. Which I know is just walking/talking confirmation bias... But...

OK. I am pretty sure I asked this in here once a long time ago, but I seem to be a special combination of lazy and stupid that seems to prevent me from finding the answers and this is an "investment 101" style question but one I have always wondered about... When an organization (like an...

I never considered the corn dog in such a royal light before.....

I think we all know what happens if someone actually went back and prevented Hitler's rise to power...

I'm no Bitcoin maxi but..... Looking at the overall landscape, right now what are the compelling reasons for existence for essentially any altcoins? (ETH included here). Outside of pump and dump fodder, what real use are they moving towards? At one point I honestly felt that ETH with MATIC...
