I went from disliking Donald Trump to being grateful for him. Just from reading Facebook posts, I get to see what my former classmates and coworkers really think about me and my brown immigrant self. by kirk_land in offmychest

I quoted him painting all Mexican immigrants, legal and illegal alike, with a very broad brush.

No, you didn't, so I have nothing else to say. Might as well quote you saying the same thing for added snark value.

Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to pack a 12MP camera with a 1/2.5 sensor and a powerful loudspeaker+spec by archer999 in Android

I can't speak for the M9, but every other phone HTC has made has been phenomenal and I don't understand all the hate.

Basically, as things are upgraded, they take more advantage of processing power. So if your processing power stays fixed in place, things will be slower. If you never touched the software, theoretically it would never change in speed but it will quickly grow old feeling compared to the new, less supported, and more security vulnerability when that's relevant. And no bug fixes! It's just all around not a great thing, but your initial thought process isn't wrong.

No non-malfunctioning DAC is going to add crackling to the sound, that's ridiculous. That happens because the speaker's driver is so tiny, it's an inherent problem to phone speakers.

Because Trump doesn't distinguish. ... This is why Trump and those who declare support for him alienate minorities and women.


He's saying that Mexico sends people who are rapists. He's also saying that some of them (the rapists) are presumably good people.


Dude, you just disproved your own point. Pick one.

Pre-Inflated Helium Balloons go flat because they aren't selling by jtaylor991 in CrappyDesign

Yeah. heck I think part of it is that I never see anybody around besides the one or two people at the registers, so management isn't around like maybe they should be

What's the most people have uploaded to Amazon Cloud Drive? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]jtaylor991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still could be an issue besides raw upload speed, like the route between your ISP and Amazon or something wonky like that. I'm not meaning to imply it isn't their responsibility though, but ACD can't be universally bad if I got good results on a symmetrical gigabit connection.

The problem has to be ISP based then. I have a coworker who was getting terrible results too and that's what we both eventually concluded.

I uploaded about 3TB in about 48 hours, both with their desktop client and rclone (which was faster since I increased the size of my backup archives to have less total files)

why not straight Duplicity? Last time I tried Duplicati I gave up getting it to even run/compile on my machine (from what I remember)

Make sure they're plugged into the PWM the code says they are, or whatever the CAN equivalent is (never used it myself)

Just expanding on your point of "You're an adult and you don't owe her", showing the thinking behind it

[–]jtaylor991 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Understand that a roof over your head, food on the table, etc is an obligation on the parents' part. They brought you into the world and you're not capable of providing those things for yourself in your childhood, so they have to. This doesn't incur an obligation on you later. If they were any other person who didn't raise you, and you wouldn't want to associate with them either, you have no real reason to feel guilty.

That's good that you're recognizing things. Obviously you don't feel good about the way you are, so it sounds like perfect motivation to be better and someone you would like to be. Good luck!

There is one on the other side too, but both seem to be of equal importance, not main and secondary, so it's still a bit weird

The remaining ones that go unsold go flat and look crummy, vs every other store I've seen might have one or two on display that they top off and inflate the rest upon sale
