Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy
I'm 25% Japanese, 20% French/German, 18% British/Irish, 8% Ashkenazi Jew 7% Scandinavian... and I don't own any slaves and haven't killed anyone yet. Too soon to proclaim perfect race, but so far so good. -

I've never laughed so hard than this Gaad clip. -
Comca$$ and other ISPs asked FCC to ditch listing-every-fee rule. FCC says "no."
I haven't had DSL in a few years now. My options will be cable vs fiber (and possibly a 2nd fiber), so I'll be shuffling between those options (Astound, Comcast, Ziply). I'm curious if fiber modems are interchangeable between providers? I've actually never seen one before. Out in the country... -
Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy
Impossible! That's where we send all our brightest problem solvers the nation can produce. I'm feeling less confident about the utopia they will bring about once we convert more individual liberty into power for them. -
Comca$$ and other ISPs asked FCC to ditch listing-every-fee rule. FCC says "no."
Comcast has directional drillers out in our neighborhood to lay fiber conduit. They raised my sidewalk 1", so now there's a lip for the kids to trip on. They are going to bust out that section of sidewalk and pour a new exposed ag one. Insanely expensive to install this conduit. I buy the modem... -

As an old Millennial, I've been pushing back against the fad to blame Boomers for every little thing that isn't perfect. Even if things aren't ideal, that's no excuse to give up. I'll push back on this. Energy expenditure to ship things long distances is insignificant when done on bulk... -

Canada had better hope we never tell China they can have it, because they'd fit right in. -
Comca$$ and other ISPs asked FCC to ditch listing-every-fee rule. FCC says "no."
My complaint is that anytime I sign up for service, they act like I'm the very first customer to ever make such a request, and they are still trying to figure out how the process works. Internet is a fringe service cable provides, apparently. If I ask what the upload speed is, that is a... -
Poll - Who Won the Republican Debate?
If Peter Zeihan has a correct understanding of Russia's situation, there doesn't appear to be any good way forward. They are a population in decline, and they'll never have more young men to send into the meat grinder then now. So, they're going out on their own terms rather than choosing the... -
Poll - Who Won the Republican Debate?
I wonder about this too. My take is that Trump lives rent-free in so many Democrat minds that they just can't not poke the bear. Inadvertently they have kept Trump relevant and activated his base. This may work to their advantage for the reason you give. Half of me wants to move on, and the... -
Lost a BI hard drive
As mentioned already, OS and software on a solid state drive, video on spinning disks, important data backed up elsewhere. I've got my OS/apps on an SSD, media on a RAID 1 array, and BI recordings on a single spinning disk. -
Poll - Who Won the Republican Debate?
Of the 8 Republican candidates, who do you think performed the best in the debate? This is a separate question than who your favorite among the 8 is. -
police visit my property because of my cameras
My neighbor is a cop. He asked me if my cameras saw anything one night, because he had left a 6-pack of cola in his truck and it was gone. The thieves just happened to park directly across from my driveway, center frame of my camera. Unfortunately this was back when I only had 1 camera, and the... -

You've got it exactly backwards. Subsidies per generated TWh are much higher for wind and solar than fossil fuels. As I explained, the only reason I have solar is three unique but equally insane subsidies. It makes absolutely no sense, but my utility, the state government, and the federal... -

The only thing I know about the next POTUS is that it isn't Biden. Don't know how the party will explain that, but that's their problem. -
Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy
Tonight, thousands of folks will become aware of Vivek. We've got a few great candidates this round, so I'm taking the white pill. As I always say though, we shouldn't care much who is in Washington. The fact that we do indicates the federal government is WAY bigger than it should be. This is... -

I mean exactly what I stated. Your examples of poor countries where hardly anyone lives and happen to have hydroelectric or geothermal resources are not evidence that large wealthy countries without those resources can just magic them into existence. The only place anyone would want to live in... -
Tesla Crashes Into Home
I also drove a Volvo for a week with no primary brakes. Used the handbrake until I fixed the leak. Kids and very old folk seem to take risks that others don't.- redpoint5

bidens incredible transition to electric cars
Only the uninformed are duped by the so-called renewable industry. We don't need electricity intermittently, we need it based on our demand for use. Generation sources that are capable of producing based on demand are called "load following". In other words, electricity isn't valuable because it... -
Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy
No contest is nonsense. Plead guilty or not guilty. That's like someone pleading "non-binary". OK, so you live in your own fantasy land, and just because you hallucinate, we have to pretend to also hallucinate. -
House Explosion captured on Ring cam
I've run black pipe in 3 houses now. I'm experienced in fixing my mistakes. None of them would have resulted in leaving a creator where my house once stood no matter how long the leak went undetected. Houses simply aren't sealed so tightly that a small leak will cause an explosion. My sense is...- redpoint5

bidens incredible transition to electric cars
I'm a fan of EVs, for the applications in which they make sense. The right tool for the job. In a battery constrained market, hybrids and plug-ins are a better use of the limited battery supply. More bang for the buck. ICE will be around for decades. Peak oil is still about 15 years away. That... -
House Explosion captured on Ring cam
My BBQ had a tiny leak outdoors, and I still was able to smell it. In fact, I sniffed each connector until I isolated the one that was leaking and then reapplied the pipe tape. Apparently reusing the existing tape isn't good enough. Lesson learned. Don't know what sort of leak it would take to...- redpoint5

House Explosion captured on Ring cam
I looked up video of other natural gas explosions, and they look similar to this. Didn't realize they were so devastating and created a fireball like that. One article mentioned a problem with a water heater, but if one ruptured, it would probably put a hole through something but not blow a...- redpoint5

Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy
Politicians have no other option but to blame global warming. Heck, if I were in charge of an area that was mismanaged and a fire took advantage of my foolishness, I'd be extremely tempted to shift blame on Gaia and all the pagans that haven't sacrificed to her. This is why 100% of disasters... -
Tesla Crashes Into Home
I drove a '69 Beetle in high school. One time a pebble wedged into the gap in the throttle opening and when I let off, the car kept going. I made an unscheduled and unannounced left turn into a parking lot and did some circles until I could figure out what happened. Modern cars hang the throttle...- redpoint5

Tesla Crashes Into Home
There's zero chance the brakes "failed" along with a "stuck" throttle by wire. My mom was only 55 when she floored the Camry and sent it into the house, hitting the washing machine. She claimed her sandals caused her difficulty with the pedals, but I don't buy it. It's clear there was a car...- redpoint5

The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.
Not Whoopi Goldberg. Go ahead and cross her off this list of suspects. Probably not Hulk Hogan either. Put him as a 'maybe'.- redpoint5
