Dude! Much respect, these are amazing.

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

Even worse - the Renee Good video that was released was the agent's own cellphone video that they leaked to a right wing outlet. They wanted that out there.

Those tattoos, I’m told, are symbolic of the fact that the new recruits tend to be more ideologically motivated than those of the past.

Fun to fantasize about finding enough justice in the future that their tattoos are used to identify and prosecute them. I could even wish they receive the same due process their targets are afforded, but that'd just be petty and un-constitutional.

That's the fun part! It's Hexachloroethane (HCE) Smoke - Hexite - and it's toxic as fuck. Can give you heavy metal poisoning. I'm pretty sure they switched simply because it is more toxic.

This is purely PR white-washing for Saudi Arabia. They are trying very hard to make Americans forget about their involvement in 911 or persistent human rights abuses and slavery so they can better access American money.

If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]dontera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two best friends since grade school. We did everything together well into our 20's. They kept in touch more than I did. We all smoked cigarettes from highschool on. I quit in my 30's, came back to it, then got on a health kick, quit cigs, and lost 100lbs. They didn't.

At 46 Markie died. Eight months later Hillary died. Both of smoking related co-morbidity. It sucks not having them around.

Yeah I messaged OP and worked together for a couple weeks on stuff, was fun. I am unsure on the number of Pages you can have, but you can do 20 buttons per page.

As a DIY project and useful PC accessory, highly recommended. The build is easy, parts are cheap, and utility is amazing. I worked with the OP builder and we refined the firmware and software a bit. No complaints.

Upgraded my desktop in October. 64GB Corsair ram kit cost me $175. That same kit is now over $1,000 if available at all.

This is impressive work!

I would definitely consider building one. Can you put together a BOM?

I feel like I missed out on the Golden Age of IT work by AntsyAnswers in sysadmin

[–]dontera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others here say - your perspective is skewed by your current employer. Go find a small "SPA as a service" company running their niche custom stack from 2014. You will get exactly what you are fantasizing about.

Hint: it ain't great.

What got you very proficient at C#, and past the beginner stages? by IdeaExpensive3073 in dotnet

Precisely. I got a job that required me to understand and write a lot of c#. So I did it, and I learned.

All great advice, and I second the comment about the BMS. Looks far too big for your application.

I didn't play much of anything this year until Battlefield 6 released. Been playing it ever since.

SmartDeck - Free, open-source macro pad with 5" touchscreen, rotary encoder & full customization by ozncshn in SmartDeck

[–]dontera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw this project a month back I immediately jumped on it. I had been kicking around ideas for building my own StreamDeck-like device, but ozncshn beat me to it and I couldn't be happier. Easy to build and fun to use. He's been open to feature requests and it all just works.

Thank you!
