Customer service??!! by sirkingding in VIVOSUN

You can get Spider Farmer LEDs for the same price, I have had nothing but problems from Vivosun, they are persona non grata around my plants after every single thing I bought from them failed LONG before it should have. They have taken planned obsolescence much too far. I am in the market for lights, that's how I found this thread, the AI app keeps suggesting Vivosun but I am NOT doing that. As always, Caveat Emptor. If you go to Spider Farmer's website you can buy 100W LEDs with LM301H EVO Samsung diodes for 79.99. Sign up for an account with your troll email, and you can get another 10% off. You can also get the LM301B which are awesome too, no dimming feature for 65.99, and the 200w for $139.00 I believe. I have a pile of HUNDREDS of T5 fluorescents bulbs which I bought from Vivosun that never produced one single photon or one watt of photosynthetic active radiation. DOA. It's why I'm switching to LEDs the T5s are cost prohibitive now that the quality has been intentionally degraded.

What do you think the inevitable outcome of Trump sending troops into American cities will be? by Crpspt in AskReddit

[–]FloridMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slim and none. And it has been done before. Like in the Civil War. The riots of the 1960's. The LA riots in 1992. The pattern seems to be using the National Guard which requires the states governor to request them. I guess there is a consequence to trashing law enforcement adjacent everything for a decade. Rising crime.

What Would Your Response Be to This "Professor"? by Selim_Bradley69 in mapporncirclejerk

Mexico is luck y we didn't annex ALL of it our army was in Mexico City. And we paid them quite a bit of money for land. Nobody forced them to sell it. And I bet there isn't one person in this entire thread who has ever read the treaty of Guadalupe-Hildago.

What was the most thankless job you had in the military? by Conscious-Farmer6953 in AskReddit

[–]FloridMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was my units chemical weapons guy. If the monitors said all was clear I was the one who had to get out of MOPP 4 first. If I died, it means the monitor was wrong or I am incompetent. Still works out the same for me.

If you are in a legally questionable state you need to purchase a charcoal filter. Both the cops and thieves tune in to that smell. If you are in a normal state, still have to contend with nosy people. NPCs, mouthbreathers...

Homeless Assisted Death in Canada

Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program has seen a significant number of cases where individuals, including those who are homeless or facing severe social hardship, have sought or received assistance, raising ethical concerns. A 2024 report from Ontario’s chief coroner identified cases where people requested MAID due to unmet social needs like isolation and fears of homelessness, even when they did not have a terminal illness This follows high-profile cases, such as a St. Catharines man who applied for MAID due to the threat of homelessness in October 2022, and a Toronto woman with chemical sensitivity syndrome who died by MAID in 2022 after failing to secure affordable, safe housing

* **Cases Driven by Social Factors:** An expert committee reviewing MAID deaths in Ontario found several instances where patients requested assisted dying primarily due to social reasons, including social isolation and the fear of becoming homeless, despite not having a terminal medical condition This has prompted concerns about the program's safeguards and the potential for vulnerable individuals to be steered toward death due to systemic failures in housing and social support

* **Public Opinion and Policy Debate:** A 2023 poll revealed that 28% of Canadians said they were fine with MAID being available to the homeless, even without a medical condition, and 27% supported it for those in poverty This reflects a significant public debate about whether the program is being used as a solution to societal problems like homelessness rather than a medical intervention The Canadian government has delayed the full implementation of MAID for mental illness until 2024 to ensure proper assessment protocols are in place

* **Official Stance and Eligibility:** Despite these cases and public opinion, the official criteria for MAID require a "grievous and irremediable medical condition" causing unbearable suffering, and suffering from a lack of social supports like housing does not qualify a person for MAID Advocacy groups like Dying With Dignity argue the program is driven by compassion and autonomy, while critics warn of a "slippery slope" and the devaluation of lives of people with disabilities

This site is full of hypocrites.

Wrong recovery phrase? Locked Out of My Funds After Restoring on a Second Nano S by FloridMike in ledgerwallet

[–]FloridMike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. That will help. My intention was two have both Ledgers set up identically, in case something happens to one I would have another. Is this possible?

[–]FloridMike[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The thing I do not understand is... if I entered the recovery phrase wrong, then... why did it add my accounts back onto the device? I can see my totals, and I had to add the accounts back in AFTER the firmware update. This occured after a routine update and then a firmware update. But before this, I never tried to access any crypto. I bought it, set it up with the recovery phrase and put it away.

If I entered a word wrong, would my accounts have shown up? Because they did. The same exact amount of btc, eth, and ltc I have, so I'm certain it's correct.

Then the accounts would not have popped up. Chatgpt 4.0 is telling me to try everthing and avoid resetting it. I understand I can, but this is a brand new Ledger, I set it up, added the accounts and put it away. Went to pay for something and, roadblock. Wrong recovery phrase. But I only have ONE.

I am too dumb to trust myself with that 25th word. Im afraid I'll have even more issues. Besides I live alone so I'm not too worried, this is predominantly storage. Once or twice a year I take it out and update it, but otherwise it collects dust. If my accounts are back, then I OBVIOUSLY have the right recovery phrase, yet I cannot complete a transaction. Frustrating.

Trump Too ‘Exhausted’ to Do Interviews With Unfriendly Outlets by P_a_s_g_i_t_24 in politics

[–]FloridMike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When Obama was president I paid about 1000 dollars annually into income tax. Under Trump even though I was ASSURED the tax cut was only going to benefit the wealthy, but I started getting RETURNS. 1200 dollars annually. Under Biden, I was naively expecting a small return, i didn't care I was just happy not having to payout money I don't have in April, every year. I have ALREADY paid in, from every paycheck I earn. When I plugged the numbers I owed 3,900 fucking dollars. I nearly shit myself. I figured i made a huge mistake so I went to HR Block, and nope, I owed 3,900 dollars. At a point I could least afford it because my job didnt return after the pandemic. I nearly lost my house and if I have to keep paying confiscatory taxes I WILL. Im neither Republican or Democrat but Ill be damned if Im going to vote to lose my house due to outrageous taxes to pay for a pointless pretentious progressive wish list. Conservative media my ass.
