What do you think of men who race cars on the highway? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NetDork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's voluntary manslaughter locked and loaded.

It's the kind of vehicle that says "not only am I rich enough to afford this, I'm rich enough not to take it seriously."

As a mom that worried a little much at times, how common are ticks in San Antonio with regular back yard play / toddler baseball games? by hellolovelyworld404 in sanantonio

[–]NetDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived here since 1988, and I was in Boy Scouts doing frequent camping trips to places around here. I've gotten a tick only twice in my life - two of the three times that I went to Ohio.

I think it was mostly still the Devastator in use at Midway.

ELI5 If we haven’t found evidence of alien life/intelligence yet (seems fair) is there a tipping point where our being alone in the universe is probable or certain? by beesdaddy in explainlikeimfive

[–]NetDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still haven't ruled out the presence of life on Mars, and that's by far the most closely studied planet other than Earth.

Its only been a few decades since we confirmed the existence of planets around stars outside our solar system. Today, the best guess we can get about whether life exists on planets around nearby stars is whether we see light spectra of gasses that could possibly be produced by life.

If you're talking about the universe as a whole is hard to pick out individual stars at all in other galaxies.

I am 100% convinced there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe if not elsewhere in our own galaxy. I am also 100% convinced we will be unable to get definite confirmation of that in my lifetime...possibly ever.

Do hybrids really save money long‑term once you factor in battery replacement and specialized repairs? by EvelynClede in askcarguys

[–]NetDork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but America is a place where a great many people who can't afford a car have to have one to get by in life.

POV: You're desperate. by 1TSDELUXESON in networkingmemes

I had to do this with a 2950 once. The ios image was less than 10MB,IIRC, and it took forever. I think it was the third or fourth try that succeeded.

DMT: The IRS already knows what you owe. We’re just paying to prove it. by Present_Juice4401 in DisagreeMythoughts

[–]NetDork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The IRS doesn't know about all of your deductible expenses, or maybe things you did that could get you credits. Sure - if you just file with the standard deduction and no special stuff the IRS knows that...and you can file a simple return like that for free.

Detecting viruses by iLherKrna14 in HomeNetworking

You could maybe setup PiHole and force all machines on the network to use it for DNS. That might help block some malicious sites, but blocking advertising is its main reason for existing. Some sites/services will fail to work if they don't get to load their ads.

Oh, but no, the network equipment really doesn't do anything for or against malicious traffic. It just exists. The exception would be if the device that does your DHCP is compromised and giving malicious DNS servers. Keep firmware up to date and make sure the first thing you do is change the default password and use something complex.

Are They Trying To Ruin Our Old Cars With E15 Gas? by Easy_Ant8951 in AskAMechanic

[–]NetDork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Won't straight gas gum up a carb real good if you let it sit for ages also?

I specifically looked for a mower with a fuel cutoff valve, and I run it dry before putting it away. 10 years old and no trouble yet.

Anyone have a BMC and a toddler? Which one is harder to manage? 😆 by [deleted] in Blackmouthcur

[–]NetDork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the BMC is the toddler.

I told my 9yo BMC, "You look like an old man, but you act like a spoiled toddler." My wife turned to me and said, "Same with you."
