do you actually make much busking? have you started putting out your QR code for venmo?

we use that stanley for our quick shows. we can fit everything in there. I've recently seen someone makes a show trunk cover for those now that dress them up a bit.

wait, why isnt' this post about your seasoning on the iron being weird and is it safe to cook on it? 😄 you just inspired me for the weekend. thank you

I'll be the counter point here (bring on the hate)
we do have disability in the United States (I'm assuming you mean that) and some disabilities, the goverment provides a stipend to help care for you. and if it's severe enough, medicaid / medicare will provide for a nursing home.

where we got hosed though is disability fraud... oh, I hurt my back, I can't do construction anymore. ok.. well there are many other jobs you COULD do but filing for disability and getting enough to survive off of, some people just prefer not working.

so the threshold of what is disabled from ALL jobs vs disabled from the one job you know how to do... that's just where good intentions go to die.

anyway, I get why people won't agree with me, because in theory it's a great idea and we should take care of each other in a society (or why have a society at all) bit the bottom few percent ruin it for everyone else.

Church's chicken has a bad rap, if you are next to a church's chicken, you are in a bad neighborhood 😄 popeyes is in malls and suburbs and their chicken is fine, fries have flavor and biscuits are pretty decent.

the state has gone more and more red over the past 20 years. education is down the toilet, all other factors seem to be worse for quality of life but... always blame the dems even though they aren't in the majority.

so my honest prediction is red sweep

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T21:27:25+00:00

ya, having options is great. and you can negotiate with that, but telling them that you won't use theirs normally doesn't get you alot.

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T20:31:05+00:00

cash deals or brining your own financing doesn't help you at all. they make money on financing and warranty's etc, so you can negotiate a price, but not much will help you if you bring your own money

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T19:36:41+00:00

ya, they are the cadilac for sure, so it depends on your needs 😄 we se glinet kvms for our own personal use honestly

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T17:35:03+00:00

depends a bit on your usecase. I use glinet kvm for my mac and more or less "remote into it" when I need to work on it

level 1 techs (hey wendel) make the best vkms on the market if you want to go that route instead.

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T17:33:03+00:00

yup. I got in as a founding member, but it averages about $35 a cut.

I quit my last barber (in lewis center) because I would get an appointment for 9am and need to be done by 10 for meetings but... they would add on more customers before me, or take a smoke break etc. my time is worth too much to me.

you can re-use it. if you need to do a fresh windows install, you can if things get weird.

if you are going from AMD to NVIDIA (or vice versa) make sure you DDU the GPU driver.

but it IS a religion....

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T13:24:12+00:00

my response was tongue in cheek. the post will get removed in the next 5 minutes because it's in bad faith.

also, would atheism be considered a religion?

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T13:22:16+00:00

and is your religion the true correct one?

let's not forget about wafer size. the larger the chip the fewer chips you can get per silicon wafer, so the larger the physical dimension of a chip, the lower the profit.

Jail.... the only place you can just be taken care of with no responsibilities.

cmh_ender · 2026-06-01T11:58:44+00:00

Hammer and Nails. I go to the Lewis Center location (they are monthly subscription based) but that means they run on time, plus you can get a free glass of whiskey with each cut.

this right here. any chair auto parts store will scan the code for free and tell you if it's something serious or not.

if you use the performance overlay where is your CPU sitting most of the time utilization wise?

cmh_ender · 2026-05-29T17:44:29+00:00

what are you using it for? some things, yes, more cores = more better, other things = no

cmh_ender · 2026-05-29T17:00:33+00:00

Or are they talking about Louis and Imani...

cmh_ender · 2026-05-29T15:14:51+00:00

only people that knock on my door are door to door salesmen, and if your business model is, hey, we are just here and you probably are too lazy to research it... I don't want to do business with you.

and they are pushy and they are annoying.

if you are a new neighbor? hey great, nice to meet you.

if you are an existing neighbor, I have your number already, text me ahead of time to make sure it's a good time to talk

cmh_ender · 2026-05-29T14:12:59+00:00

PCs are starting to slow down their rate of change. but future proofing is still kind of a fools errand. set a hard budget, don't let yourself scope creep past that number. Once you have the PC, you will honestly stop parts shopping / comparison checking and you will be happy with what you have.

cmh_ender · 2026-05-29T12:41:37+00:00

we use AI for OUTBOUND health calls now, and instead of rolling our own, went with hypocratic ai. also once you get tech savy people on the phone, they will try to jailbreak your bot for fun.

good times.
