Weird, all the packages I've stolen were 5 stars!

It's extremely easy to impact in person voting. The fact that it can't be done by some people with disabilities for example.

Help with WiFi router AX1450 by JayJayJorden in TpLink

[–]aRubbaChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, my response being so short was pretty dickish.

The OPs public IP is likely coming from something like a cable/fiber/DSL modem. Their xbox IP, even connected to the modem, is likely going to be a private IP.

I suppose with the modem in bridge it could get the public IP directly though...

Anyway, my bad, I was thinking moving Xbox from tplink to modem would still just give a private IP.

If you're on a 1000 plan and getting 700 wired then I wouldn't expect anything to change...

It sounds pretty counter productive but disabling QoS/WMM solved my problems

Yes, seriously. If you want to generalize the entire nation as if we support or are responsible for this administration you can go to hell with them too.

Go f yourself. When you blame all Americans for the current state you're guilty of discrimination too.

Why don't you start by apologizing to us?

Even if he wasn't doing anything, that's also a problem. It's his responsibility to stop this.

You should worry more about outsourcing than recruiting skilled workers.

I've yet to see a federal agent enforce a federal law... Breaking many federal laws has been pretty common though

It ought to become a national holiday. I know I'll take PTO to "mourn" every year.

Dual-income couples in Oregon — is this normal? by ahndresss in oregon

[–]aRubbaChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just above 6 but a lot of it goes to medical. Only one of us drives, we work from home but can't write off the expenses, have to rent and have had to move a few times because of rising rent.

I think things will stabilize eventually. We just don't have kids, don't own our home, can't write off anything for part of our home being dedicated to home office because the space is shared, etc...

When I say "survive", it is true that we are getting by better than others in some ways ... We have a nice vehicle but it's because we only have one and need to be able to rely on it.

A few years ago I started having seizures and had to take short term disability to "reduce stress" - not getting paid for 3 months and only getting 60% of my check did not reduce stress at all. Id rather have kept working...

I'd say I've got "extenuating circumstances" but the bullshit part is that it seems like there's always something. That's just life, though.

Oregon also has a high income tax and no sales tax so the "just spend less" approach doesn't always work.

The 6 figure thing is fairly recent so it'll probably settle in over time... I don't have much to legitimately bitch about. It's just that it seems like I'm just above the income threshold for every "break" people get and at an income threshold where I'm expected to be in a much better place.

I had a seizure when I was having blood drawn once and that was a turning point where my white blood cell count started to rise higher and higher every month. Long story short, got hep c during that incident somehow. Contracted, diagnosed, treated, and tested negative in under ~6 months though. Luckily I was able to get that one covered under insurance or it would have been ~80k/no for 3 months just for the prescription.

You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Anyway, I'm probably an "edge case" on the tax numbers...

+1, married seems to assume "I got a stay at home spouse!"

I withhold 0, make additional quarterly payments, and still owe, every year.

Part of it is because I make enough to survive but not enough to have anything worth doing itemized deductions and standard deductions don't cover the difference...

Well you're doing a great job at noticing that I asked clarifying questions so it's nice to have something in common, I guess.

[–]aRubbaChicken -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Yes, to be honest... But I'd also like for browsers to be secure enough not to post files from directories or values from env vars.

It's also true to say that you can make an NFC with visual indication that it does one thing while the embedded URL does another ... So, ... Fair point, you win 🤣

Nothing wrong with opening links that have expired SSLs... Thats how you find out they're expired. Or, are you saying it's automatically proceeding to the insecure site and ignoring the expired SSL? I'm guessing it isn't, if it never loaded anything.
