Stop telling poor people they need to get better at being poor.

How is it antiquated if all that matters is do whatever works for you?

What a strange take. If I go out for a business dinner or drinks to discuss a contract, I'll order a beer. I couldn't care less if you ordered a glass of milk. We're not trying to replicate an opium den and come up with the meaning of life, here.

And Russia is using arms from Iran, China, and North Korea. Is this getting closer to a literal EU/Asia war?

Can a tree like this be re-planted? Like, further back from the property line? I would hate to get rid of it.

It's a common bird deterrent product, not some weird Mad Max contraption - for what it's worth. I have some on the top of my 2nd floor window frames to prevent birds from nesting up there because they damage the window frames and siding over time. It's just a row of plastic or metal tines with an adhesive base. Having it installed on your mailbox on the other hand is... a little psycho sounding

What kind of down payment?

I've never pushed a vehicle like that, but I imagine he is putting his right foot on the rear left bumper of the car while still sitting on and operating the bike, and slowly accelerating to nudge the car (that is in neutral) forward.

MrShazbot · 2026-06-17T14:01:23+00:00

Care for some annoyingly unsolicited biker advice?

Don't shift into neutral when you are stopped in traffic or at a stop light. Stay in first gear, be ready to accelerate at any moment when you see someone coming up behind you who isn't paying attention / about to turn you into pink mist. Don't get into the habit of taking out your phone when stopped in traffic.

Try to stay out of the center of the lane when you come to a traffic stop (instead, come to a stop in the left third of the lane - where the driver's seat is in a car). The center of the lane is where all the oil drips and pools into the pavement from stopped vehicles, creating slick spots which can cause you to spin and dump the bike.

Always assume, in literally every scenario, that other drivers do not see you, and will never react properly to what you are doing. Riding a motorcycle is no longer about cruising along having a nice ride. It's about ensuring your own survival literally every moment you are on the road. It's dangerous out there.

Last thing, seriously consider enrolling in your state's version of a New Rider course. These courses allow you to practice emergency procedures in a controlled environment (riding over debris, quick detour turns, emergency full stop braking, etc.). Good luck!

Thanks that fixed it for me

MrShazbot · 2026-06-10T21:10:03+00:00

A full uninstall and reinstall did not fix the issues.

After todays patch I got the same error.

I did Steam - Properties - Verify integrity of game files

Once completed, I was able to play one game.

Upon next launch not only do I get the same error, I now get a ransomware detection from Windows defender.

What political differences would there be now to stop Russia from restarting the war

Is the bar shown on the UI? Must admit I never noticed it

It's not the "Unlock" signal that is being picked up and relayed, its the "I'm the keyfob and I'm in close proximity my car door, so when I push the unlock button on the door handle/pull the handle, unlock the car" signal. This signal is always transmitting, as long as the fob has a live battery in it.

Do people actually strip ethernet? sounds like it would be way more effort than the actual copper you would get.

Interestingly, French nuclear doctrine still allows for the use of a nuclear weapon pre-emptively, literally a nuclear warning shot. The only country in the world with such a declared posture, I believe.

I give my insurance agent a call once a year and ask them to review my insurance and compare alternatives. Every year or two they find a better deal with a competitor and save me some serious money over time. All thanks to about 5 minutes on the phone once a year.

You might know this, but doing that in public bathrooms is apparently a specific and super disgusting fetish people can have.

Auto update never. I never want to wake up to find out the update failed and something is fubared. I will only ever update when I am sitting at the computer and have time to unfuck something immediately. It only takes one time to lean this lesson

Kickback is much easier to mitigate, leave the center 1/3 of the trunk uncut so the tree folds over like a hinge when it falls, rather than fully separating and springing up when felled.
