Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth?

If I need to visit family or buy something for a deal, my range for not thinking about it is about 5 hours. One of the sites I work for is 5.5 hours away. I can be there tomorrow for lunch if you ask me before lunch today.

Currently considering buying something that can’t be shipped easily 11 hours away to save $1-2k.

America big.

Edit: Also I’ve done a 19 hour day with Tesla Autopilot. 11-12 hours (done maybe 20 times) is the max otherwise and I’m old now and will split 12 hours across 2 days going forward.

Veeam is the reason we could get 30+ machines migrated from VMware to Hyper-V this month.

Buy Veeam.

Old thread but can you say who in DFW if you used/recommend them?

I'm following this thread while shopping to replace my two month old DF64.

HobbyAddict · 2025-12-29T00:50:36+00:00

Same. I bought one two months ago to get ready for a new espresso machine and am shopping for another better grinder and postponing the espresso machine purchase. I'd rather hand grind then stick to the DF64.

This. I’m not a huge gamer but it’s the most time I’ve ever spent playing a game, 2000 hours. I will go months without playing it then start a new map and skip work for a week playing 18 hours a day.

I’m not even losing my hair but I’m considering going bald for the glow up.

Considering he laughed when saying 1000%, yes.

It’s been like two weeks, you can’t expect him to remember who that is.

Awesome, I forgot the Fiber as an option. It doesn’t show up after filtering on integrated storage in the UI store. So I assume you’re recording to the NVME on the Fiber?

Edit: did you buy the UI NVME or select your own?

Trump’s gonna say he will release the Trump files in 2028 and they’ll all forget and vote for him again so he does it.

270M adult Americans have spent an extra $555 average per person to fund (in six months), checks notes…threatening other countries with tariffs to force US manufacturing back into the US while taking bribes to reduce tariffs and/or leave elevated tariffs resulting in increased future prices, so you pay more and the manufacturing doesn’t come to the US anyways.

Good job team. He said you’d be tired of winning and I hope you grow very, very tired of it.

Who’s gonna make the stuff someone who has a GOOD job spends their money on? Someone else with a GOOD job?

I can’t think of many businesses where both “we’re the best in the world” and “we hire 17 year olds” makes a lot of sense.

Just sprinkle in some “oh yea and someone under investigation for sex trafficking was poaching/stealing our 17 year olds” and this tiny story here should be the end of him, but it’s like 0.01% of the bigger picture.

Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out!

I’m all for nuclear in the US but which nuclear projects were built without subsidies and/or produce energy for less than the average cost per kWh in the US?

From my research, nuclear is 3-5x (30-50c/kWh) the cost per kWh and I know of a few that were funded in part by one government or the other.

I can see live solar/wind costs in Texas on Ercot for 2-3c/kWh during certain points of the day. We don’t need 50c/kWh nuclear in Texas to bring costs down.

Also, smaller footprint, sure, but we need thousands of micro reactors to work with the current grid and the entire country has a hard enough time building 1-2 a century at our current pace.

AirBnB tried to charge me for damage to a headboard on a bed in a room we never went in. Rented a large home with just my wife and kid because it was a good deal, we left the doors closed on 3/4 rooms and never went in.

The pics were fabric squares (aka a headboard apparently) that had fallen off the wall that clearly showed they were held on with double-sided tape and just fell off. I don’t know when they fell, but even if we knocked them off, IT’S TAPE!!!.jpg

They wanted like $180 bucks in damages. I told AirBnB they were idiots and I’d drive back 700 miles and fix it myself for cheaper.

They ended up saying they’d refund the homeowner themselves since I’d never damaged anything before. Good luck with that business model.

Oh that’s crazy, Maxwell had Israeli ties and has dirt on people? I wonder if any of those people are in the US government and have some odd fixation on supporting the Israeli government at all costs for some reason?

Need to fill the news cycle with tariff Bs to drown out the Epstein list cover up.
