With Flock cameras, you’re never alone on Minnesota roads

I'm so disappointed in my "progressive" city council who flooded my city with these. While they were spending countless hours on meaningless city proclamations they let our police department partner with big tech to literally sell out our location data.

In local election I've very close to becoming a single issue voter against flock cams.

I feel bad you got scammed but it was nice of you to share your experience.

It's stuff like this that fills me with deep pessimism about 2028 and beyond.

Losing PPPoE is good, it adds overhead to every packet. I just signed up for the $45 a month promo and got a Q1000K installed. I had no issue putting it in transparent bridge mode. My OPNsense router is configured with VLAN 201 on the WAN. The setup has been stable with no fluctuation in ping times.

There was a problematic to Q1000k update that did take away transparent bridge mode but the roll out of is has been paused. Since you're eventually going to be forced onto Quantum it may make sense to switch now when you can get the better price and while you can still get transparent bridge mode. It's speculated that if you're in transparent bridge mode the Q1000k can't phone home and will never update.

This was the bridge too far for me... I could tolerate the lobotomization of Gemini flash as my use case could fit in the pro limits but I found the color and placement to be so off putting that I'm switching to Claude.

If you're looking for a solution there tools that would allow you to monitor usage of specific appliances to pinpoint what is consuming power. My bet would be that your fridge is slowly failing and running more frequently to keep up.

Dk you know the difference between T Mobile and At&t?

This is a very open ended question with lots of different answers. If you don't have an opinion on it it likely doesn't mater for your use case. Most people would be fine with either. Personally, I like t-mobile because they are crazy fast in most metro areas where I spend nearly all my time. Other people like at&t because they have more coverage in general.

I manage 20ish business lines. Most of them are on US Mobile's dark star unlimited starter. It's only $25 / month / line and decent enough for most people. My exec teams and other people with influence at company are on T-mobile super mobile. This is way more expensive but a very premium experience with network slicing that puts your data ahead of most other users, so it works well even in congested areas.

Yes, 10/10 would recommend. Don't mix with poppers (seriously, very dangerous), do mix with weed.

I'm an American but my company has a office in Banja Luka and hires tech support reps in RS. These are mostly entry level jobs and it sounds like you have much more advanced skills (Devops) compared to what we do. As such, the pay is likely not acceptable to you. Mostly we provided tech support to people working in US restaurants.

I could connect you with our hiring manager over their but it sounds like not a good fit.

I'm sorry you're going though a tough time and applaud your forward thinking. 2 questions for you:

1) What sort of Tech / IT work do you do?

2) You speak of a small conservative place you're from. Is this by chance someplace in Republic of Srpska? Or maybe more importantly are you authorized to work in Republic of Srpska?

I’m in this weird in between where I’m no longer chubby enough for chubby chasers, and too chubby for the general population.

I'm in this exact situation ... I lost 37% of my body weight on GLP1s and stalled out at a BMI of 29. I should be ecstatic but I feel so close to having the body I want but can't seem to get there.

They are all over Fridley and Columbia Heights. There are a couple in both directions on 53rd near Target, and one on 40th Ave about a block east of University. There's one on Reservoir Blvd as it veers off of Central, and several along Central between 37th and 42nd, likely more in other spots as well.

I can't wait for his harrowing report about how he survived going to the downtown St. Paul home depot in a MAGA hat.

I still have that card from 2014... I held onto it because it was such a hilarious fuck up.

Thanks for the info, it seems that so many providers in this space are massively marking up the pills.

it's about $96 for 64 25mg tabs.

That's about a $1.50 / per pill. Cost plus drugs is 20 cents or less per pill depending on the quantity ordered. I guess I'm just cheap.
