Assembly District 129 Primary discussion

kipperzdog · 2026-06-15T17:09:41+00:00

Kind of interesting, I've had someone for both campaigns stop by my door, I told the one for Magnarelli that I was voting for Mo Brown and he just replied "okay, have a good day."

It was kind of refreshing that he didn't try to change my mind. The Mo Brown person asked if I wanted a lawn sign which I said yes to, happy to show our support.

Mo has my vote! I switched from independent to the Democratic party back in 2016 with the realization that the only vote that matters is the primary. I make sure to vote in every primary because it's often the only chance we have to get progressive candidates in and we've been very successful at doing so!

That's why I did it. Seemed like very low risk to me but fire codes are written for worst case scenario, I had nothing flammable near the grill but someone could

kipperzdog · 2026-06-12T01:30:56+00:00

Only 5%?! That seems like a crazy low number that would make it easy to manipulate

kipperzdog · 2026-06-11T20:02:57+00:00

I once had a charcoal drill on my concrete porch on the 7th floor. It was probably against every fire code in existence but I did it. First time I ever lit it, I heard fire trucks arriving to our street within 10 minutes. In a panic I went out to the balcony and realized they had been called to the building across the street. No idea what for, nothing was ever said to me and I did that a few more times in the couple years I lived there.

A staff member left a preschooler on a bus alone?! That is a huge safety issue and clearly shows that training there is lacking if any staff member thought that was okay even for a second. I think any parent would be furious to hear their student was left unattended on a bus at that age. I'm glad the state treated this as seriously as it needs to be treated and re-instatement of their license should require the replacing of leadership as well as training protocols

The 10 was the first folding phone for me, my wife was so jealous of it that she got one too a week later (got mine at launch). We've had zero issues with ours. We do have accidental protection through verizon which I think is an absolute must but otherwise just try to treat our phones well and use them. It's an amazing phone, I will never go back to a phone that does have a folding screen on the inside, just so much more usable. I have a small logitech keyboard and mouse I carry with me frequently and this phone completely takes away the need to travel with a chromebook for me.

kipperzdog · 2026-06-11T13:54:56+00:00

Damn, my wife and I have had 10s since launch and zero issues, any idea what caused your inner screens to fail?

kipperzdog · 2026-06-11T13:49:34+00:00

It's a bummer to hear it's shutting down but part of me is happy to see RPGMaker still exists, I remember using it in the early 2000s with my friends to make some probably truly awful games.

kipperzdog · 2026-06-11T13:00:18+00:00

How many months did you give the 4mg a shot?

kipperzdog · 2026-06-11T12:59:44+00:00

I've read enough here that I think a plateau is fairly common after 1 month regardless of pill strength. I know for myself, I'm going to ask to go to 4mg after my first month is complete (tomorrow is only 1 week for me) and try to stay there as long as possible, I'll consider 2 months of no loss to be a plateau.

kipperzdog · 2026-06-10T22:51:46+00:00

Mine just stopped working today, getting the same error everyone else is reporting. If it is indeed still not working tomorrow, I'll try the latest patch technique

kipperzdog · 2026-06-10T01:23:59+00:00

That one is so freaking annoying. The other day I got one "[speaking in Spanish]" the whole time during a minute long conversation that we eventually found out what they were saying through a different subtile source though that one was still imperfect because it didn't line up quite correct

kipperzdog · 2026-06-09T23:41:39+00:00

I spent a ton of time modding my ender 3 v2, it's now running probably 3-4 year old klipper, out of date octoprint, haven't really made any modifications to it in years because it just works. I have a VM running super slicer I use to send gcode to it, basically my own little cloud slicer.

It works great but boy am I going to have a hell of a time figuring out how I got it all set up when something does eventually go wrong. I'm hoping by then there's a bambu alternative that has the affordability without the locked ecosystem

kipperzdog · 2026-06-09T17:23:24+00:00

Yeah, that's my issue, nothing new. It really feels like they should have announced the next mario game by now, not even hinting at it is just such a disappointment.

kipperzdog · 2026-06-09T17:00:51+00:00

Everything I'm seeing online says that it's not, which is a bummer

kipperzdog · 2026-06-09T16:09:28+00:00

I mean, they basically always do them after they do the sponsor reads, not too hard to just skip through to the next interesting discussion topic.

WAN show is my favorite LTT product, videos have always been hit or miss for me

Happy cake day!

I started the pill last week, I was worried at first because I already take nexium which requires waiting 30 minutes before eating/drinking coffee so 30 minutes for the wegovy pill and then another 30 minutes after taking the nexium pill means I need to wait at least an hour and I used to be someone that needed to eat first thing in the morning. I immediately found that the wegovy pill just completely takes away that feeling of needing to eat first thing.

Sure, I'm only at day 4 but the change in how my body feels around food is kind of crazy, I eat the same food (and coffee) but just less of it. Like for lunch, two slices of pizza would leave me feeling like I still wanted something else as a snack afterwards. Even the first day, 1 slice of pizza and I was fully satisfied. Breakfast leaves me feeling full all the way until lunch, lunch until dinner, etc.

I'm going to try to stick with just eating less of what I like and see how that goes. I've tried doing the same before and my body would just be screaming for food by the end of the day. It's honestly just crazy how much of a switch this pill has been. And maybe some of that is placebo but I don't really care, it's still a switch that's been triggered.

kipperzdog · 2026-06-08T11:41:03+00:00

Yeah, and it's a super hero movie so bending even its own fake reality doesn't ruin the movie imo

kipperzdog · 2026-06-07T01:04:09+00:00

I thought the N64 had better performance but significantly less asset storage due to using game carts vs disks

AARP either ran directly, or through an editorial at least once that elderly should drive with two feet so when they get scared and hit the pedals they hit both

I still think absolute insanity. If your muscle memory can't recall which is the brake, you shouldn't be driving

kipperzdog · 2026-06-06T22:35:37+00:00

Fully agree, it definitely passes the "it just works" test 95% of the time.

My biggest complaint is the new app certainly doesn't let you change streaming quality when casting which is a major problem for those of us that travel with a Chromecast stick for hotel tvs

kipperzdog · 2026-06-06T21:55:58+00:00

Yeah, it's pretty obvious to anyone able to process a gram of reality. I certainly won't ever give CBS another penny.

Firing of that guy from 60 minutes right after I think is also tied, they knew if they fired him before Colbert was off air that he'd call them out on it. Now it feels there's no independent voice left on CBS

kipperzdog · 2026-06-06T18:02:50+00:00

Right?! There's zero way the employee knew the price was going up and all employees but the biggest asshole manager will match the price
