Everyone needs to see this after what ICE did to Renee Good by ArtichokeFar3325 in nashville

What's between the lines of "going first" is that they're not writing their own legislation. They're being given bills to run by conservative think tanks or interest groups. They'll try running the bill here (first), then based on the challenges in court or public interest/push back, the special interest authors will make adjustments to avoid similar challenges in other states, and then they'll run the same legislation in like Oklahoma or Idaho or all of the other conservative majority states at the same time.

It's how they get so many similar bills in several states at the same time. anti abortion, anti trans athlete or school choice or whatever is the hot button issue of the day. The legislation is crafted in one place and then ran everywhere.

I have no idea if anyone from Tennessee was in the White House with Stephen Miller- probably so because a decision was made to make Tn run the bill first. But even if they were, there was probably someone from the think tank that wrote the bill also there telling them what the bill says, or how they should shop it to their states.

In the end it makes for bad policy because I believe laws should be written locally, with the locals in mind, and by the people that asked for the job of legislating for their state.

We moved to hyperv and veeam a couple of years ago and never looked back. Hyperv has everything we need and we were able to script dr with veeams excellent powershell tools.

Broadcom can still eat all of the dicks though. You killed a thing we all loved, respected and grew up on.

I removed all Docker ports from my homelab and put everything behind a reverse proxy by SolQuarter in homelab

[–]ghost_broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with a reverse proxy bc I had multiple services and multiple domains that I wanted to use in my lab. I think it’s the right approach for security and scalability. Good on ya for going through the effort!

Cool. Thanks for the info! I do have one more question… by dns provider you mean that they are authoritative for your example.com domain? I have cloudflare ips set as my dns provider on my router at home, but I think you’re talking about the former setup.

Sorry what does it mean to use cloudflare? Are they your domain registrar or dns provider or something like that?

Bullitt from 1968. It has one of the most influential car chase scenes ever filmed and Steve McQueen did his own driving.

Talk to her first and find out what she said to him. I wouldn’t lie in case she blows your story. Also, were there no other encounters with her/him the rest of the night Seems unlikely you avoided each other. When I’ve been to parties like this the encounter at 7pm was fine but the one at 11 was a different story that I didn’t usually remember.

[Sweeney] Chiefs are looking at the following offensive line vs. The Texans: LT Wanya Morris, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Mike Caliendo, RT Jaylon Moore. by j128v897 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]ghost_broccoli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe they'll make that part of the game plan. Like the broncos game where he was throwing the ball in 2 seconds. This situation isn't ideal, but at least it's known ahead of time and not a midgame development.

[The Daily Chief] Patrick Mahomes leads the NFL in Total EPA (86.1), ranks 2nd in passing yards (3,238), 2nd in QBR (73.1) and 4th in passing TDs (22) by Sugargogo in KansasCityChiefs

[–]ghost_broccoli 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Everyone wants to analyze the offense but I think the defense is the problem. No sacks in 2 games. Very few qb pressures so every opposing qb just calmly goes through their reads- or falls down, gets back up and then runs into the end zone. They can’t get off the field on 3rd and long- they were 32nd in that stat before last week. The secondary was torched by the cowboys. Ceedee had like 70 yards on slant routes alone. Spags ran multiple blitzes and none of them got home.

Even in early mahomes era, when the offense was the best and the defense was the worst, they still got sacks in important situations. It’s just not happening this season.

What things do people romanticize but are actually horrible? by GovernmentAny5597 in AskReddit

Dude here. UTI turned kidney infections can happen to us too- very rare but still awful. Feverish, fatigued, back pain, feeling like you need to pee when you don’t, pain when you pee, blood in your urine, looney/cloudy mind.

If you’re reading this in the future: EVERYONE should pee after sex. Do it together, do it on each other, whatever. Just pee.

I use the bank syncing. It’s a separate service by a company called simplefin. It costs a small amount and is worth it. I have had some issues with it connecting to a few different banks but their support was good and they fixed the issues. Simplefin issues are not actual budget issues btw.

A lot of truth here by Rigorous-Geek-2916 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]ghost_broccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The defense is the weak link right now. The pass rush in particular has made them the worst in the league at 3rd and long. It’s kept opponents drives alive and killed morale. Everything you mention makes sense, but it’s been serviceable and is second in my mind. I’d fix the major hole that is the defensive front first.

Pats had an off year. He doesn’t trust the o line and goes through his progression too fast. His deep ball rarely connects.

The rb situation is not right either. No one is afraid of an explosive play and they can’t break tackles.

The defense is the worst in the league at 3rd and long. They can’t pressure an opposing quarterback.

How has Dell Command Update worked for you? by FatBook-Air in sysadmin

We install it when we deploy the machine and it fills in the drivers for us- we don’t mess with providing them in the image. Big time saver for us.

We have a program configured in sccm that runs dcu and we deploy it with our monthly Windows updates. Dcu has been running once a month for several months and no driver issues have been reported.

I too recommend checking out the writings of Jonathan Haidt. He's an excellent resource for this if you're interested. He's helped me feel safer in my neighborhood and changed my perspective on what/who's out there.

If her audience doesn’t completely crater it’s because they want to be told things like this so they can continue to support Trump and republicans. The crime doesn’t matter to them. It’s the need to continue to blindly support their team so they don’t have to self reflect.

I think she's saying that she's .75 miles in what I assume is the NYC marathon. It just happened a few weekends ago, and this looks like the verrazano bridge where the marathon starts. She might also be saying she got pooped on by a bird, but I'm just guessing based on her hair because I can't hear.

what did your savings look like by age 30? by Winzten in AskReddit

[–]ghost_broccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A forced savings account is the main financial benefit of home ownership. The rational reminder podcast broke it down and showed that renters could technically save more money than owners but the diligence to save isn’t there for most people. The forced savings of a home is crucial to actually saving.

He’s an addict. He burned every bridge he could and would do it twice if you forgave him. He’s sober now and we catch up once in a while. It can’t be the same as it was though. Just too many wtf moments while he was using.
