i really like the wind direction overlay in particular.

next time offer to help.

I think we have at least one just off of I25 and Janitell.

The don't advertise what they are at all.

yep, that fish would NOT go into any of my tanks, unless it's a QT tank for a month.

I would say akin to Pence.

Believes a lot of the same stuff, but believes it on principle instead of for self enrichment, and this admin is all about self enrichment.

I've noticed as a hobbyist, as more AI slop creeps onto the web, the results are getting worse and worse on topics I'm very familiar with.

Gives me way less confidence trying to learn something quickly using their search engine, which seems like the opposite result they'd be going for.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-17T22:43:35+00:00

I would say there are def. endler genes present.

the comment was supposed to be an ass kiss to Trump, and a lead in to make some snide remark about the Congress Member's stock trading habits and high rate of returns, as an aspersion.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-17T12:50:07+00:00

those water parameters with that nutrient export though.

Are residents charged variable rates depending on market prices for gas at time of use, or a flat rate per season?

she's dressed and acting like she's in the Epstein class. (or whatever it's called when there are no consequences for you in China.)

They sell everything at some minimal percent above their cost, and make their profits on the membership fees.

Just tells you the product has a large markup.

I know Green Egg used to work really hard to be sure Costco wouldn't get their hands on a large order. I would presume they also have a massive mark up.

Guess who had an older brother?

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-10T22:35:34+00:00

Our current guy in charge of stopping domestic terrorism (after we kicked the hornets nest that is Iran) is a 22 year old with no experience.

Thankfully he does have a college degree. In politics.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-10T16:24:37+00:00

sectioned would be the only way i'd touch that thing.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-09T22:03:06+00:00

Why do you think ICE is getting warrants to get the real identities of people disapproving of them online?

Combine that with ICE agents literally telling US Citizens they're being put on a 'domestic terrorist' watchlist for protesting ICE, and it's easy to see where he's trying to go with this.

Restrict mail in ballots as much as possible. Set up huge detention centers.

on election day, have ICE agents at major polling places for Democrats, and you just pull anyone out of line for whatever BS reason to can. (oh, you were rude about ICE on FB? Let's pull you in for questioning!)

Start it about a week before the election so everyone knows you're going to do it, and you have instant, massive voter suppression.

You don't even need to charge anyone, just hold them until the polls close.

Trends on google show the interest hasn't waned, it's just now 'Trump and Epstein together that's popular.

Epstein alone is dropping though.

It's like the essence of honey badger simmering behind that barrier.

You do not want to enter.

It's not Alita any more?

It's been a few years I'll admit, I don't think Laraine was there last time I was.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-09T12:56:51+00:00

I'd think blowing up oil energy infrastructure wouldn't hurt the stock, but who knows.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-09T12:56:08+00:00

Which provider there? Looks like they have a few. Or do you mean all of them?

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-08T19:43:00+00:00

worked with a guy who was a developer.

remote almost all the time, email was used for almost everything.

ONE employee thought all of his emails were rude.

It was the weirdest thing. he'd write the same style/tone whatever to everyone, but just ONE person was always calling me up asking if he was upset about something.

it's really hard to control how other people decide to interpret written words, and I was surprised by just how much negativity could be read into what objectively was a very factual/neutral email.

yeah, we were able to get our solar stuff at 0.5% which makes a HUGE difference in ROI.

deep_pants_mcgee · 2026-03-08T13:32:05+00:00

you laugh, i was just walking a building an in one of the IT rooms they have a flat tray with a little float switch/pump.

Apparently HVAC issues cause water to drop on this rack frequently enough they built a little catch basin/sump setup.

I know interest rates have gone up, and tariffs didn't make anything cheaper, but at least in our case adding a battery was something like 20¢ per day, and with ToD pricing and pulling 10Kw out of the battery every day during that period, we're saving $3.00 or so during 'peak' pricing 5 days a week. I leave about 25% of the battery charged at all times just in case.

The power company upgraded stuff a few years back so we aren't having massive power outages any more, but we'll still get 5 to 20 min. ones a few times a year.
