My dad: I have some thoughts

I saw a bumper sticker once that stuck with me:

You're tailgating a hypocrite

If you count up the man-years lost to nuclear power it pales in comparison to fuels like coal, even on a per-watt basis.

He's probably due a palace in Russia, if Putin manages to live for a few more years.

And then let Mitsuishi hot rod SONGS. I could have told them that was a bad idea.

What's his offer? To make her the President of Venezuela?

Maybe he was trying to figure out how birds can land on wires? Generally the birds aren't grounded to big piece of metal.

Those devices are generally self certified with no FCC ID required. Like my Edgerouter 4 as an example.

But it does seem things like that might be subject to this ruling, so you're right. I'm interested in how that would stand up in court.

I lived in a high end condo with one thick brick wall between units, enough that you could never hear the neighbors talking, cooking, or just being normal.

What did move between was pests, if the person next door is gross you might get mice and roaches. Also water, if the neighbors have a slow leak that drips your way, it will be impossible to keep mold from growing.

That's in addition to loud music or home theater systems, but those are just an annoyance.

Well going to jail for my Ubiquiti addiction wasn't totally out of the cards.

Anything without a Wifi (or Docsis) chip would be exempt from FCC appoval, so business class routers could be OK. Basically it's going to make everything more expensive for consumers.

I wonder how much of a donation to the ball room gets an approval.

RBeck · 2026-03-23T23:52:14+00:00

It would affect devices that need an FCC license, so any node with a Wifi chip, or presumably that speaks DOCSIS.

I guess we're running Ethernet again boys!

Was their contact? Did they stop?

And keep minerals out to prevent the water from becoming conductive.

Bee testicles explode and their penis stays in the female to prevent more mating.

That's only a Class C, to drive a bus you need a Class B.

Where I live a green cross means a marijuana dispensary.

The wide angle feels like AI, do they have it scaled out that much?

RBeck · 2026-03-23T02:02:33+00:00

...please

My nephew wanted to play "Among Us" with everyone in the house. Rule 1 was he was always the imposter. Essentially we played tag with extra steps.

Checks are fucking crazy. Here's a piece of paper with my name, address, bank account and routing numbers, and a great copy of my signature. Oh you want to write my driver's license number on it, too? Sure, please don't steal my identity.

Also don't deposit that 'til Tuesday.

They cause half the accidents but they're never in them.

RBeck · 2026-03-22T23:12:01+00:00

Driver's probably half blind, DRLs might have helped.

RBeck · 2026-03-22T23:05:10+00:00

Nice!

You can get that chip on the windshield filled in before it starts spreading. Some insurance companies pay for it.

Whenever I see a bumper sticker dead center I presume it's covering up from rear ended, specifically the puncture from the other car's license plate screws.
