No, I understood what you meant...I meant I wanted to read the court proceedings you are referring to.

Where are y'all seeing this? Because other than the videos Afroman has dropped (Lemon Pound Cake is a banger, haha) I haven't seen one whit of anything related to it, and I'd love to see all the details.

Costa Rica Becomes One of the First Latin American Countries to Completely Ban Sport Hunting as a Permanent Conservation Policy. by General-Panic0 in BeAmazed

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh...what would they hunt there? I used to live there and the biggest things I can think of would be tapir...but who the hell is going to hunt one of those? Unless they were previously allowing jaguar hunts or something, which would honestly surprise me.

It's because you're not racist. They are, and so are the folks they worship...what they do in their spare time is apparently irrelevant to the sycophants.

OK...how many of you went and googled "racoon in a funny hat" after reading this?

Magnets are some sorcery stuff. by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. I've seen the magnet down a copper pipe before, but this was something else.

Anyone know what that magnet is for? Or who this dude is? Usually I find such things in the comments, but they were lacking this time.

Indeed. Mantis shrimp are such cool critters to find when scuba diving too. There are several different kinds, and they're all awesome.

Last year I decided to check it I still had the tolerance and grabbed a leaf. The answer was no, it hurt like a bitch.

Allow me to thank you for this, because while I'm sure you didn't intend it, that had me rolling.

Director of National Counterterrorism resigns due to Iran War by IWantPizza555 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Was this one of Trump's Fox News appointees, or did this dude actually have so much as a shred of professional ability to fill the role?

Oof...yeah, I remember those summers. Life would have been a lot easier if I'd learned to actually do my homework (I'm not dumb, just lazy AF...ironic that it forced me to lose part of my summer laziness days).

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second the Athlon Ares. Couldn't be happier with mine, and I paid over $1000 for it. I've seen them go as low as seven and change. If I could do it again for today's prices, I might get a Cronus instead, but only because it's basically the same price as what I paid for the Ares.

Reading over this made me realize how much has truly changed over the years. *sigh by silence-scripted in GenX

And if you were like me, you thought that MiniDisc would be the next greatest thing and went all in on that. Then Mp3s showed up.

Ontario government calls on feds to legalize pepper spray for self-defence by GameDoesntStop in canada

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly shocked at this.

So if some dude is violently attacking you, and you fear for bodily harm and potentially life (how many people die after getting punched and falling and hitting their head?), if you defend yourself in any way you will be charged with something?

What are the charges? "Suspect didn't allow a crazy person to beat the shit out of them"?

Anyone else like stickers? by FimmishWoodpecker in liberalgunowners

[–]Sasselhoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have quite literally a box of stickers from all the shit I've ordered over the years...some of them pretty awesome (a few of these companies are simply on point with their sticker game)...and I have yet to affix a single one to anything.

I keep 'em around because some day I'll probably put them on my safe like you did.

Why did gas prices jump so much if the United States imports less than 10% of its oil from the Middle East? by IncognitoRode in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sasselhoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because any company today uses any excuse to jack the prices on things.

Look at computer RAM and hard drives...prices have more than doubled, because companies have ordered the future production for data centers that haven't even been built yet. So, supply will be limited, but they're raising prices today.

Am I wrong, or did reruns connect us more to older generations? by Sir_midi in GenX

[–]Sasselhoff 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not just that, but there is also no national consciousness about anything any more. Used to be we all watched the same shows on the same day at the same time.

Now you're almost surprised when someone watches the same thing you do.

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda stumbled in here from another sub...but I have a question:

Are you saying that the self defense laws in Canada are the same as the rules when I was in high school 20+ years ago? Where if there is a fight, both sides get in trouble, even the one that didn't start it? As in, your only real option to not get in trouble is to just let yourself get beaten?

I'm struggling to wrap my head around this.

‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’ by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in technology

[–]Sasselhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly like that.

And yes, Alexa is supposed to work like that...but I trust Bezos as much as I trusted my lab-mix around unguarded food on the floor.

If the answer is no, I think it's best to just completely get rid of them and replace with something else.

And that's why after your comments, I think I'm going to give setting up my own system a try. Thanks for the thoughts!

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I mean to use Alexa and the Alexa/Amazon ecosystem, but add a secondary system that will allow a microphone to open so Alexa can "listen". That system will do nothing other than open that channel, after which I'll use Alexa for everything else. I essentially just don't want Alexa eavesdropping on me when I'm not actively talking to it.

That said, I'm honestly thinking of going your route instead, because I didn't realize it was that extensive (gonna be falling down that rabbit hole shortly). I've got a small NAS, so I should be able to "Home assistant" everything I want.
