    VPN Primer for Noobs

    It's because you were getting very close to the root problem and it didn't want you to discover it so it can do it to you again.

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    Let's see... The covid shot will prevent you from catching covid. The covid shot will prevent you from transmitting covid. Maybe there are cases where I don't believe my own government :rolleyes:.

    2nd Amendment thread

    Not as serious as the California life-and-death level nonsense, the dems in Oregon put in a bill to tax tire sales 4% to fund public transportation. They just won't stop, and the idiot voters keep enabling them.

    Remotely re-boot your PC when it's unresponsive?

    I had the totally unresponsive issue with BI on an 8th gen elite desk. It went dead every few days. Solution was to uninstall the Intel display driver and run with the win 10 generic driver.

    School Thread: Lets stay educated and aware!

    Mine too, plus wood shop, electric shop, aviation shop, machine shop, plus a couple I don't remember. The one that turned out to be most useful for me in later life was welding shop.

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    This video is close to a training course for politicians. Here's my short summary of the 5 techniques. At 1:45, Exaggerate to absurdity. Done by putting words in your opponent's mouth. At 2:30, Molte Bailey technique. Make you opponent angry to look less credible. Changing the subject is...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    I don't have my own conclusion over who slimed who in this, and don't think I'll even have enough correct info and/or smarts to know the answer. Having said that, I can say that Zelensky has been riding the wave of fear if we don't stop Russia in Ukraine, it will have a free hand to take...

    Money & Economics

    Six years difference is a nit compared to all-time, but just for the record: "An index of 100 is equal to the average level of contract activity during 2001, the first year to be analyzed." Methodology: Pending Home Sales

    Money & Economics

    "U.S. pending home sales have fallen to a new all-time low" Some of these pronouncements are hard for me to swallow. This index behind this claim was created in 2001, so I doubt that it can signal an "all-time low" of pending home sales.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'll offer this as the joke of the day: “The three permanent wires in the White House pool, The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters, have long worked to ensure that accurate, fair and timely information about the presidency is communicated to a broad audience of all political...

    An open borders rant from Michael Moore: “Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight? The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that Astroid [sic] that’s gonna hit us in 2032?” Moore wrote in a Substack post published Tuesday. Gee, he...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    So whose BS propaganda do you believe? Referencing a US based organization doesn't mean it's credible. A big part of the US media is controlled by Axel Springer SE via Business Insider and Politico, with other outlets routinely echoing their propaganda. I have relatives in Germany and...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Looks to me like this is another case of left-leaning journalistic malpractice. The headline says "Budget Bill". It's not a bill, it's a resolution, as the text says. It's just a bunch of overall numbers with nothing specific about what will be cut or added to the budget.

    Looks like we have a frontrunner for the 2023 Darwin Award

    Old thread I realize. I could have written this word for word about myself. I beat you! I was 3 when I stuck the scissors in the outlet. Decorated the white outlet with black modern art. Then there was the time I set the fireplace mantel on fire with the cigarette lighter, and the full list...

    Automatic IP address change?

    In this case I was pleasantly surprised at what BI did by itself. Unlike in the newer cars where I'm often fighting the automatic crap.

    Automatic IP address change?

    I changed the IP address of one of my cameras. Before I got around to fixing it in BI, BI had changed it by itself and the camera was back running at its new IP address. How does BI know to do that?

    New (higher spec) CPU requirements for Windows 11 24H2

    I just updated to a newer version of Wine on my linux laptop, and lo and behold, smartPss Lite works. Then I tried my old microsoft Streets and Trip program, and it runs too. I may never need to boot the laptop into windows ever again :)! It would be interesting for somebody with more spare...

    Active deterrence or TiOC 2.0?

    Just FYI, if you're using an NVR with built in POE ports, the second device, which is a POE-powered 2-port switch, won't work for you . There is a possible exception if you put the built-in switch into bridge mode and assign static IP addresses to all of your cameras. If you're using an...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    This DOES get exhausting. My answer is that as sure as death and taxes, you're never going to let an opinion different that yours go untrounced without a fight using your version of the facts.

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    The ONLY thing I argue is that the USA wouldn't allow Russian armaments near our border, and expecting Russia to allow NATO armaments near their border is unrealistic and hypocrisy. If that constitutes moral equivalency, I'm guilty. If not, you're trying to put words in my mouth.

    I posted something that I thought was a neutral report on how each side views the situation, without taking any stand on it myself. My getting sucked into the debate will be short lived. Possible answers to the questions: (1) The answer you want, that these states are afraid that if Russia...

    Ukraine related: Was Ukraine Government Is Handing Out Guns To Citizens, What Happened to Gun Control?

    I ran across this article about the Ukraine war that doesn't strike me as agenda driven. There's more to the article than just the origins, but for the origins part it's pretty much the view that the west thinks Russia provoked the war via invasion, while Russia things the west provoked it via...

    Plane down in DC

    Another update with a little more info about leading up to the collision, plus info about the helo. I had assumed the helo had a modern glass cockpit, but in reality was all "steam gauges". Still not much concrete info coming out. DCA Mid Air NTSB Update 14 Feb

    Yet another one :( . It's a Delta branded RJ lying upside down. Obviously Trump's fault.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    My understanding is that to move the Oregon-Idaho border requires the approval of both state legislatures and congress. For myself, if the border were moved according to what is proposed, I'm still 1/4 mile inside Oregon :( .
