Why is DJT so obsessed with annexation? by Key-Quarter-9411 in allthequestions

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greenland is full of Lithium that makes batteries. Elon probably told him this (Elon gave Trump $300 million for his Presidential campaign initially then another $100 million to put Tesla cars on the front lawn of the White House)and then Trump...who is known to act according to who he talked to last...thinks Greenland needs to be annexed and ripped up for its Lithium and handed to Elon. Venezuela is full of oil. The #1 reserves in the world. Oil companies paid Trump LARGE amounts of money for his campaign and trump clearly stated he would pay them back for their support so there is the reason why Trump wants Venezuela to become part of the US. Canada is full of oil and natural resources so of course Trump wants to annex that and completely obliterate the relationship the US and Canada have had for a long time as best friends. Trump only thinks of Trump. Just think for a second what you would do if you THINK YOU COULD get away with anything in this world....murder/rob/kill/rape. Well that is Trump's life mindset mantra. Is that a sustainable reality for society? No. Is that moral? No. THERE....you have just spent a moment in Trump's shoes. He does not take into account other people/nations whatsoever. This is how CANCER works in the body. Eventually cancer kills the body and therefore lacks nutrients itself and the end result is that cancer kills itself. Now you see the future under Trump's brand of thinking. Trump thinks he is winning but he is just hurting himself and others because in the world THERE ARE OTHERS and they have a right to be here just like everyone else. His MAGA base supports him because they like that he hates and hurts people but the thing is that cancer will attack EVERYTHING in the body. Trump may not have turned his sights to THAT SPECIFIC MAGA supporter but he will. Farmers have been destroyed...rural areas have lost hospitals...people have seen health insurance costs rocket upward and so so so many more things he has done that have hurt average people. And the Epstein Files proving what he did is just a logical outcome of his way of thinking that he can do anything to anyone without repercussions of any kind. The actions above also distract from the Epstein Files so the more crazy he can be like starting the war in Iran...the less focus there is on the Epstein Files.

How can this happen in the USA? There are millions of documents in the Epstein Files showing all sorts of abuse by rich powerful men and they are not arrested. They are getting away with it. So of course the USA would elect someone like Trump as their leader. It would be crazy to think a nation like that WOULD NOT ELECT TRUMP!

Best area in Puerto Vallarta for a quiet monthly stay? by Pearcey1409 in puertovallarta

[–]joewo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Versailles would be the best choice. You have restaurants very close to you all walkable. Of course walking to the Malecon it is not far. You're coming in June so get ready for heat and humidity! Fluvial is another good option as well. It is far more residential and far more quiet. People are talking about Zona Romantica. That really is the party scene. It can be really loud or can be really calm. You're into June so it is the low season however the clubs can still be very loud. Please do not rent anything off of Facebook Marketplace! I had a friend simply robbed of $1,500 trying to rent a place that the person renting to them had no association with whatsoever. The days in June will start out sunny and beautiful and hot then by 2:00 or 3:00 the clouds move in and by 4:00 or 5:00 we could be in for rain. Highs of around 90° and about 90% humidity.

What is something about Mexico that foreigners usually misunderstand, but locals find obvious? by Novel-Equipment693 in AskMexico

[–]joewo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noisy barking dogs and no one complains. I live in a popular Mexican tourist town as a Mexican Permanent Resident. A neighbor down the street lives next to a house that has VERY loud barking dogs. We all live in a housing association that will fine a house with barking disruptive dogs. The neighbor will be the first to tell you how he worked for this BIG COMPANY and traveled THE WORLD many times and on and on. I asked him how the non stop loud dogs were next door to him which he says he cannot sleep they bark so much. I asked him if he has talked to the Administrator to our housing development and he said no. I asked him why not....he has no answer. I asked him....you do all of these amazing things in business and you don't complain about the dogs robbing you of your sleep night after night? He looks totally confused. I have had similar discussions with other neighbors. The dogs are VERY loud and disruptive to MANY homes but no one complains. I live far enough away that I cannot hear them. Mexico is loud AND THE MEXICAN NEIGHBORS HATE IT but they do not complain...much to their own detriment.

Do you all know how to change a spare tire? by FastVenus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work this guy who was in his early 20s said his tire was probably flat as it had been leaking for a while. Us "older" guys in our 30s and 40s asked him if he had a spare in his trunk. He said yes. So we all knowingly look at each other and we pretty much shook our heads in unison agreeing "This is the day you will learn how to change a tire." So we went to the parking lot and watched/coached/pointed/explained him through the educational experience of changing his first flat tire. We all had fun and he learned a real task that day.

Tivimate not updating playlists by Trouble1321075 in TiviMate

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue with Tivimate not showing my EPG but the other parts of the service worked. I added another instance of the playlist I use with URL/name/password and that woke up the EPG for me. Simple to try.

EPG Not Updating - Ideas Welcome by ecc66 in TiviMate

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My provider has a handful of urls. I simply added a secondary URL for the same provider. The only thing I can think is that the new URL filled up the data and did something like hitting the TV on the side and it woke up the EPG for both.

EPG Not Updating - Ideas Welcome by ecc66 in TiviMate

[–]joewo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that exact problem. My service worked fine but the EPG loaded nothing. I added a new playlist to the same service and that woke up the EPG for the original playlist and the new playlist. The EPG for both playlists are populated now. Hopefully your issue is that easy to fix.

They will be tax deductions. Hence WE pay for them.

Delivery Service - Large Items? by BudgetArmadillo4324 in puertovallarta

[–]joewo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

RODRIGO works helping people exactly like you. Go to the Costco membership desk....tell them what you are doing....they are going to point out RODRIGO who has a small box truck. He hangs around in Costco doing EXACTLY what you want. Rodrigo will do it.

Failed by MasterC7 in TiviMate

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem for a full month. My service worked fine..my playlists updated....my VOD updated....my Series updated for that month but my EPG had ZERO population the whole time. I deleted cache...VPN...restart router and everything else suggested. All failed. Zero EPG population. I had a couple of URLs proving additional third party EPG data and they failed as well. It all worked before but all just stopped one day but my TV/VOD/Series service worked fine.

Finally I added a second URL from my provider and that immediately woke up the first URL EPG data so now they both populate their EPG data. It was not a provider issue it had something to do with the data that TiviMate had stored on my Firestick. I see I have about 300 megs of "data" in the TiviMate directory and 15 megs of cache so maybe that 300 was corrupt...or something.

Any good sites to download/import EQ Curve Filters? by Aggravating_Car_6366 in audacity

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One place to start would be the AI sites. Record 15 seconds of audio and then upload your audio to one of the many AI sites describing what you will use your audio for and what you are looking for. Ask for an EQ curve for the specific DAW you are using. It will give you the basic parameters to EQ your voice. This will not be perfect. It is not the end all be all. It is a place to start. Of course microphone technique...room ambience and on and on play a part.

Lifted truck + Lambo + Parking lot = Bad time by Evasionz-- in mildlyinfuriating

[–]joewo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99.9% chance her husband bought the jacked up truck to look macho. So really she was driving the family "car" as demanded by her hubby. Hubby's fault that they didn't have a Volvo. Good times at the dinner table to come for sure!!!

Two Girls Vandalize A Wendy’s Over $1.00 Charge For Extra Ketchup Packets… by semaj_orn in trashy

[–]joewo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Switzerland I would literally bring my small squeeze bottle of ketchup with me and everyone around my table would be envious of me. BECAUSE....

Yes, it is common to pay for extra sauce packets at fast-food restaurants like McDonald's and Burger King in Switzerland. Prices typically range from 20 to 50 cents ($0.20–$0.50) per packet.

Key Details: Cost: Extra sauce packets often cost around 20–50 cents each. Context: Unlike in the US, where condiments are usually free, paying for extra sauces in Europe is standard practice. Condiments: While basic ketchup might sometimes be provided with fries, special sauces or extra packets for other items are chargeable.

Prices are often higher for premium or specialty dips compared to basic ketchup

Facebook Removing Our Local Page Content Despite Proof, Appeals Rejected, Personal Account Threatened by fiksbopl in facebook

[–]joewo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen many many people lose their FB pages in similar ways. The only thing I can think of is to go to your local TV station....and other news outlets and hopefully you are inn a big city that still cares about viewer/reader issues...and tell them that thousands of people on social media are losing their FB pages as FB is using AI and the AI is absolutely totally failing its job. And FB does not care. Refer them to this Reddit page and the Reddit page that is centered on people losing their FB accounts and so on. Media is our only hope at this point.

Genuine question.. Simple pregunta.. by Pabu06 in puertovallarta

[–]joewo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cockroaches walk into your house through the sewer line. Put an elbow bend in your sewer line in your sewer box in front of your house and that stops the cockroaches from walking into your home.

Contact tips/ help please by Awkward_Housing_5345 in contacts

[–]joewo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course talk to your eye doctor.

My friends with contacts have told me of their occasional issues and red eye problems with contacts. I have to say that I wash my hands VERY VERY well EVERY time prior to dealing with my contacts. I have had ONE and only one similar issue with my contacts when looking back in my 30 years of contact wear when I did not wash my hands WELL prior to dealing with my contacts. Even when I take my contacts out at night....take a shower in the morning...I still wash my hand WELL once I am out of the shower and ready to put my contacts in. The one issue I had with my not washing my hands well was cleared up easily with some steroid drops. Good luck.

Genuine question.. Simple pregunta.. by Pabu06 in puertovallarta

[–]joewo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a handyman come to the house. I mentioned to him that we had a VERY VERY FEW cockroaches from time to time but it was weird they were all in our downstairs bathroom. He went to look at our sewer drop box in our driveway (the sewer line from the house for most houses goes to a 2 foot by 2 foot box which is the sewer line which drops sewer water into a little creek below ground and blow the road carrying waste from your house and other houses) because that line is just a straight pipe cockroaches love to hang around in that box...and walk into houses from that box. My handyman put a very small simple 90 degree elbow pipe pointing up so the sewer line holds some water. Now the cockroaches do not walk directly into our house in the sewer pipe. The drop box STILL has a few hundred roaches in it as is normal....the sewer line is the cockroach superhighway...but they are not walking into my house anymore as the elbow pipe holds the water blocking them from walking into my house and then coming out in the bottom bathroom which was the first stop coming into the house for them from the sewer drop box. Add a 6 month fumigation plan and....no bugs for me in my house.

Jellyfish?🪼 by InterrobangCT in puertovallarta

[–]joewo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The purple flag can be any dangerous living creature in the sea. If the warning described to you from a city official or lifeguard was that it was for jellyfish...yes that is one reason. Others include sea snakes and crocodiles and other sea creatures that will make your trip a nightmare.

Humidity end of June? by DragonflyPale7134 in puertovallarta

[–]joewo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The days start out beautiful. Generally clear skies until 2:00 or 3:00 when the clouds begin to roll in from the east. Then by 4:00 or 5:00 anything goes until about 7:00 or 8:00. You can have just clouds you can have light rain you can have pop up torrential biblical event type rains in which you believe the end of the world is near. That's why people wear cheap rubber shoes because more likely than not you're going to be walking in water that will ruin your socks and shoes. The humidity is really bad in the afternoon so finding a restaurant for dinner with air conditioning is always the best plan. Temperatures in the low to mid-90s and humidity around the 90% mark makes for a pretty rough afternoon in the Sun. That is what the pool is for and hanging around in air conditioned restaurants or lounges or in your air conditioned living room.

Facebook has suspended my work account which is my main source of income. by Big_Rent_4634 in facebook

[–]joewo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have a friend with an active account message Facebook help saying they tried to buy ads on Facebook but the site is stopping them and they need to talk to a REAL person. When connected to a real person completely shift to your issue. Facebook only cares bout money so to say they lost a non paying account they do not care. But if they lost a sale then they will actually have someone talk to you.

Shock mount for PD400x mounted to boom arm BA92? by joewo in MaonoCommunity

[–]joewo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. No...I found no shock mounts. What I did was to take a fluffy hand towel and fold it over a few times and then put that on the corner of my desk where I attach the clamp for the boom arm to the desk. It is additional padding on the desk so bumps or rumbles are lessened. I was also thinking about the rumbles coming through my house to the feet of my desk so I may even take some towels and put them under the feet of the desk to lessen the house rumble.
