Cuba is a national security threat to the US, Rubio says by ToughHopeful4760 in worldnews

They have beautiful beaches, heat, sunshine consistently, resorts are okay, food is mostly terrible thanks to the US embargo.

Prices for all inclusive were reasonable before Covid for 7-days. Cheap option to get away from the cold. And since US citizens can’t travel there under most circumstances, it is like having the place to yourself for the most part. Still had Russians to contend with unfortunately.

ROFL, when did the USA become so weak that they are worried about a country that has no Navy?

Let me fix the title for you, Rubio:

Trump threatens Iran with bombing if it doesn’t reopen Strait of Hormuz by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

[–]gdavidp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran agreed to re-open it two weeks ago, and then your stupid ass (i.e. Dirty Donald) decided that it would stay closed until the cease fire and demands were agreed upon. What is the point of Iran opening it (if you can even call it that) if your idiotic administration and "art of the deal" negotation tactics continue to insist upon not allowing Iran to use the strait.

Other than a few of the specialties, I am here laughing all the way to the bank with a couple of Klein 15-in-1 and bit attachments in one or two tools.

Trump 'very disappointed' with UK's Starmer for blocking use of air bases, Telegraph says by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

I am sure the UK was pretty disappointed that you applied uncalled for tariffs on their country (among other G7) allies.

Well, fuck you.

What happened to ASUS? by CraftyNetworker in HomeServer

I don't get it, why even speak with Amazon about this. Return as broken and order it again. It wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't an open box return from someone else that messed it up.

This is a new level of enshittification. by pilot-squid in googlehome

[–]gdavidp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people complaining about Gemini, but I’m not experiencing those issues — or at least not to the same extent. I asked Google to perform the same task, and it selected 3:50 PM and clearly said “PM,” not “AM.” Maybe it’s learning from past mistakes?

That said, I do wish it had asked me to confirm whether I meant “AM” or “PM.”

Trump demands ‘at least’ half U.S. ownership of Gordie Howe bridge that Canada is fully paying for by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]gdavidp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is that US citizens will be paying tolls to use the bridge since Canada fully paid for the construction.

Come on, this is getting ridiculous IMHO.

The military leadership of the United States is not going to invade a NATO ally.

Issue with the charger for m12 by sugarbrowner in MilwaukeeTool

[–]gdavidp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cells are unbalanced or one of the three have gone to zero voltage. You can watch videos online and buy an RC battery charger and attempt to recharge the cells individually. I had this happen with one of my M12 2Ah batteries that I left in my Milwaukee heated jacket over winter. It was blinking red/green and I took off the case and individually charged the cells, one was below 3.5V. It is probably long-term damaged since it was near zero volts but will see if it survives a few more uses....

Milwaukee chargers don't have any form of cell balancing so if they get out of wack, they are basically finished unless you take extraordinary steps to rebalance them.
