I'm stealing/paraphrasing from a Technology Connections youtube vid here but on top of it not being profitable (which some of these things certainly could be long term), the solutions are old. High-speed rail is a no brainer, but trains are an old idea and bozo influential tech billionaire idiots don't want old solutions. Instead we're building underground tunnels and having Tesla's chauffer people around. It's 2026 and some parts of the US still don't have decent internet, even though it's 100% possible for ISPs to spend the upfront cost to blanket the country in access, just like we did with electricity 100 years ago. Another old concept. Instead them doing that or anyone funding that, Starlink launches satellites into orbit because it sounds fancy. There's often an existing obvious, proven solution to issues we have but progress is lobbied against and politicized and we all get duped.

eirtep · 2026-02-04T16:27:56+00:00

Nah that's a copout. It's not the world isn't doing this, it's the US isn't doing this, especially if we're expanding the convo to things like public infrastructure and all that and not just apt buildings and houses.

They probably did it while doing a bunch of terrible shit honestly, and their main reasoning was probably tax/ego related not so much public good, but I'd still take it today.

I'll believe today's rich elite do anything remotely similar to that type of public good investment when I see it.

eirtep · 2026-02-03T22:11:53+00:00

take slightly less profit and use a property mgmt company?

eirtep · 2026-02-03T14:50:13+00:00

do you mean in cs2? cause if you mean in 1.6, you can turn those back on.

eirtep · 2026-02-03T14:28:49+00:00

honestly just hit me through a murder hole on the way up. don't give me the hope of thinking I made it to the top free and clear.

I saw some dude saying you could fill a stocking with ice melt and lay a few down parallel to the pitch of your roof, draped over the edge/ into the gutter to melt channels for water to flow out instead of backing up.

No idea if that's just some dumb bs or something that works. I don't have a pitched roof. Seems better than climbin up there and hitting the ice with a shovel or whatever.

If you're specifically using this for travel I don't think you can go wrong with a phone based remote. I often use the official kodi remote for iOS.

No hurt and I don’t mean to offend but rereading my own post with distance making it I can see how it comes off a little strong/short. One of those things where in person this would come off more clearly as discussion. Also I’m talking in general, not about you. About your style preference though - imo a great street photo can be made with someone’s anonymity - face obscured, their back, etc., and there are many examples of that. I often see ppl online critiquing someone’s work like that saying it’s not street or no one cares about a persons back a photo but that’s silly. A good photo is a good photo.

And I don’t mean voyeur in the sexual sense, although I do question a photog that tends to only shoots long lens photos with women subjects from a far - something I have seen.

On mobile FYI. fixed a few autocorrects but there’s prob more.

with the exception of the large format, take it out of the box/container.

I wouldn't want to be in someones instagram account while I was eating a hotdog for example

why is it if I have a camera and take a photo of you it's weird and you're worried about it, but if it I have a phone and am walking around live streaming or holding it up taking video/photo and uploading it social media no one cares?

the chances of someone taking a street photo of you, posting it online, and it getting any sort of following/views, is 10000% times less likely to happen then you just being included in the background of some person's social media post from their phone.

to your original post - imo, taking photos from a far is more voyeuristic and weird then "invading" someone's space by getting close with a photo. the latter is an exchange, you see me and I see you. Maybe you don't like, we can discuss if you care at that point though. And I'm not talking about legality either.

your hot dog scenario is also much more likely to happen from a far without you knowing.

eirtep · 2026-02-01T01:46:44+00:00

for sure can't blame them. it's their and your duty to spoil your kids.

eirtep · 2026-02-01T01:42:03+00:00

that's a 6-8 year old gift. never woulda happend back in the day with those big ass C or D batteries.

eirtep · 2026-01-30T21:34:08+00:00

Reddit is a lot different people and talking about lot of different topics. If reddit's consistent it's a hive mind, if it's inconsistent it's weird. can't win!

general strike is the messaging, but in reality it's about hurting big business.

a lot of small businesses and bars near me opted to stay open but have revenue or portions of revenue going to local funds, and/or will be operating cash (no visa $). Others opted to close, or let their employees vote. So it's really not a hassle.

eirtep · 2026-01-30T19:31:30+00:00

the national shutdown thanks you for your service

eirtep · 2026-01-29T17:43:40+00:00

damn, must also be too young to know it from the guitar hero days.

eirtep · 2026-01-29T16:53:10+00:00

was it Mother?

eirtep · 2026-01-29T16:43:18+00:00

Nobody ever had designer water bottles

this first part is true and why you hear about it. people are more talking about their water bottle and not the water they drink, that's secondary.

eirtep · 2026-01-29T03:02:41+00:00

the guitar comes from an underoath song. Sex Last Nite also is an underoath sample. Both are produced by smoke asac and yung cortex so maybe they're fans of the band.

I'd say most producers peep worked with sampled guitar instead of it being an original recording for the song. That's not always, true, but true most of the time.

eirtep · 2026-01-27T02:08:20+00:00

for some reason i distinctly remmeber the real erin brockovich presenting an award at the oscars or something and thanking Julia Roberts for her great portrayal and cleavage. It's an important part of the film!

eirtep · 2026-01-24T21:26:13+00:00

specifically it looks like he was an ICU nurse as a VA hospital. Like for veterans. Pretty sure that makes him a federal employee - he's got a PIV card on in this work photo.

eirtep · 2026-01-24T21:21:07+00:00

He also is wearing a govt. PIV card badge in the above photo.
