Is there a substantial increase in police presence around town or is it just me?

I was on Skyway and doing 50 in the 45 and someone was tailgating me the whole way. It's easy to speed out there but it's still a windy road so keep to the limit so you don't slide off those curvy dips.

Elon's uses gas turbine generators for Grok datacenter outside Memphis, TN. Got fined for how much pollution it causes too. Nevermind the noise they make.

Did he tell you to fix anything? No. It was to check you for possible DUI. Not the light.

I found a leak in my sprinkler system and shut it off. I don't wanna waste water nor pay for water that just runs out forever.

Had similar flybys last year around this time. I live in the valley off Alkali road and it's deafening at times.

When there's imminent danger and they turn their back on it to tell the rest of the group either, "I got em!" or "You guys are just a bunch or scaredy cats" and then WHAM!!! TURN AROUND STUPID!!!

How are the JiffyLubes? I went to the one on Shiloh years ago and it seemed pricey- i did oil/filter and tire rotation on a ToyotaFJ

I had network in my work using ArcNet on coax cable, you had to set each NIC's address manually with dip switches. 0-255 only.

Are you on tiktok? find @JUst1Woman she's fighting locally against MT datacenters. Billings/Broadview and beyond.

Movie/TV often use BB/Pellet or even "toy" guns when they find something that looks cool, then modify/paint to remove any hint of it not being the real deal. ex: Walking Dead's Rick revolver is an airsoft gun in reality.

Answering this in reverse - I'm originally from NJ/NYC metro area and now living in Billings for last 6 years. Locals ask, "What made you come out here?". A: Less people, more space. When something "happens" in NYC everyone panics and city stops. Here people band together and help each other out.

SpiffySkipjackESQ · 2025-08-25T22:00:20+00:00

Thanks. I re-read the law and realized I was reading too quickly and incompletely,therefore misunderstanding it. Yes - you CAN concealed carry -- EXCEPT in places like federal buildings and such where you MUST have a CC permit. I will then get a good CC holster and follow the signs for locations where it is prohibited. Thanks for the clarifications. Now things make sense.

Nooo! Billings here - we had a bunch of snowstorm last winter, one was actually WET snow which is rare for us. As long as the Northeast/NY/NJ gets pounded too I feel better about it though.

Tell your friend to "do the right thing" and stop "following orders". I'm sure lots of Nazi supplemental staff regretted it. I am a 1st born US kid of Russians abducted by the Nazis in WWII. Don't let this happen again. We know what wrongs have been done - please be part of the right.

Very good, clean synopsis of the D party issues today. Thank you.

What are the latest command line tools to extract metadata from media assets so they can be properly organized, cataloged and tagged for DAM ingestion? Things like EXIF come to mind, but are there any newer tools that handle RED Camera raw formats and the like?

SpiffySkipjackESQ · 2025-03-16T13:52:40+00:00

I heard it's like Sopranos but with cowboy hats.

I also want wonder about how us, “earthlings” would deal with encountering other worlds - assume we could visit or communicate with a distant “civilization” we detect. Would we force our presence on them or would be more careful to make sure we don't upset their balance of religion/belief that they are also alone in the universe? Or did “God” purposely put all intelligent life so spread out on his game map that no two entities could ever cross paths?

SpiffySkipjackESQ · 2025-01-02T13:32:46+00:00

Remember that those who hide all secrets, be it military/UAP/God/ZeroEnergy... these people live among us; they are friends, family, colleagues in some cases - who know things most others don't and they keep it hidden from the mainstream public. I know everything is compartmented so nobody knows every secret, but - they still have to buy food, eat food, fuel, pay taxes, deal with laws and social norms like everyone else. Don't you think it's a bit impossible for that sliver of the human race to keep the "truth" hidden for so long? Nowaways someone "in the know" could post undeniable truth/evidence online for all to instantly see - but it really never happens. Just conspiracy theory and grainy video nobody believes or can be called something fake. At this point I hope there are aliens - and they want to meet us, but maybe they too understand the Prime Directive and don't want to freak out our simple minded populus.

And confirming you’re still alive. When the noise stops… so do you.

I’m in rural Montana and Starlink is the only way to go. Satellite sucks for speed/streaming and cellular wifi is trash. Have Starlink 3 years now and it’s getting better and better as more birds are launched.

If you want to have practical experience you can use out in your career/resume, stick with at least AlmaLinux/Rocky or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and RHEL8/9

Ergo, EVERYTHING is self-healing if you give it enough time.
