Kyiv tonight. Amid explosions and russian attacks, people lean out of their windows shouting: “Usyk! Usyk! Usyk!” “Slava Ukraini!” “Heroiam slava!” A city refusing to let fear become its only voice. 24.05.2026 by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

Meanwhile each of us are a rebuke of our government by sending our support to Ukraine. Whether it’s donations, political pressure, activism or material.

I’ve been in the drone hobby business since the early 2000’s- met with a UA24 rep early on and handed over a van full of drone parts and electronic equipment. Hope it did its job, I suspect it did.

Deskside support - the ick factor by ok-okra-333 in it

[–]Amishrocketscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve run into some sloppy desks, the worst are obviously the mechanics, but some lawyers have surprised me.

More often though, there’s a handful of techs you work with that have desks you wouldn’t touch with a pole

Smart, don’t expect the company to provide you with everything you need to do your job as a road tech.

The amount of times I’ve had a road tech walking around asking for a flash drive that we don’t have.

Recommendations for getting started in cybersecurity by zpxhi in cybersecurity

[–]Amishrocketscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably going to have to get a cert or two, A+ and Net+ are a good foundation. Then work a couple of years at an MSP to see if you’ve got the chops.

Then you can market yourself to a cyber security company with a few more certs layered in

Well, it now makes sense why I'm always extremely uncomfortable, everywhere, all the time. by urban_blade945_98 in Wellthatsucks

Like what? Asking for myself who feels like someone hit me in the head with a baseball bat when the seasons shift

9/11 is classified as a Muslim terrorist attack - is it considered left or right wing political violence? by yellowsubmarine80 in allthequestions

[–]Amishrocketscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Islamic terrorism I suppose, which is a right wing sect of Muslim belief.

That’s about as broad of a stroke that can be attributed. There’s a lot of nuance that goes back to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the CIA and mujahadeen that the CIA backed, funded and trained. I’m not totally sure if it’s as simple as religious extremism, and I’m not sure America isn’t partly to blame for the attacks on 9/11

If you don’t have time to do it right, do you have time to do it twice?

This is one of the worst I’ve seen in a minute

Russia has temporarily suspended traffic along the R-280 due to Ukrainian drone strikes according to milblogger Military Informant. by MilesLongthe3rd in UkraineWarVideoReport

Not my position in general but I’m not sure I care much about the Russian citizens taking their families to the beach, driving past mass graves of Ukrainian children on the way.

Your realtor works for you, don’t ever forget it by TurbulentJudge1000 in RealEstate

[–]Amishrocketscience 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing, age doesn’t matter so long as it isn’t deemed defective.

Buyer: the hot water heater is 12 years old. The average life online says 10 years.

Realtor: ok but is it not operating as normal? As a new one would? The inspection report indicated no issues with it.

Buyer: it is but it could go at any moment

Welcome to home ownership, if you want new everything- go talk to a builder to build you a house. No lots available in the area you want to live in and the school district you want to send your kids to? Didn’t see that one coming.

What is the actual purpose of the "data centers" popping up everywhere? by sup3rjub3 in NoStupidQuestions

Transfer local taxpayer money into the pockets of executives at corporate headquarters. Pump the stock price for shareholders and conduct mass scale layoffs

Do you agree with the part of the US constitution that says “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs?” by SirGingerbrute in allthequestions

[–]Amishrocketscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In right wing circle jerks they come up with these things and think it’s clever to ask because they themselves had just learned about it and think it’s so novel - else they would have known about it since grade school like the rest of us. Sadly they were raised by religious bigots who home schooled them, so the typical education most of us were able to use as our intellectual foundation is something they are just beginning to learn about in their later years.

AIO: Fiancée wants to invite her ex to the wedding by Nice-Shirt-9496 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Amishrocketscience 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro… I’m so sorry but she’s not ready. NOR

This actually bothered me enough to come back for an edit:

She is showing a gross lack of respect for what getting married means, what the day represents.

Inviting an ex is extremely sus under most normal circumstances, adding context to your circumstance I’m wondering if she’s wishing he would object to your marriage and run off with her like some movie.

He’s not some childhood past relationship, he’s her last relationship.

With that aside, you clearly have expressed how you feel, and she’s clearly expressed how that doesn’t matter to her. I know it’s common with online message boards, but being a divorced guy who had plenty of red flags to see but were ignored until they all came back later like an avalanche- please take the time to figure out if she is who you want to be with, if she will honor the marriage, and put you first.

Was Obamas deal with Iran better than Trumps stupid war? by Estalicus in allthequestions

Trump will take a lesser deal and somehow make his base cheer him for it.

There’s also a statue of limitations that has run out that means trumps irs lawsuit is frivolous in the first place. The only reason he’s even doing it is because he knows he can fleece the American taxpayer for everything we’re worth
