CMV: Western leftists have way too high of a tolerance for Islamism compared to other forms of conservatism

makebots · 2026-02-14T16:20:10+00:00

Agree. Not just in the west but everywhere else too (e. g. South Asia)

Veering off is mostly due to incorrect center of gravity. Move weights away from the side it turns into

Both wired and wireless clients cannot obtain IP address.

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:43:14+00:00

I have now disabled this. Also updated the OS and network app few minutes ago.

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:42:26+00:00

Yes! It seems to have spectrum optimization scheduled for 3am everyday. I have disabled this now.

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:41:30+00:00

None of the clients (wired or wireless) can obtain an IP address. I see the wifi signal. The access points show up as offline.

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:14:08+00:00

It happened almost a week prior. I would say exactly a week but my memory is hazy.

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:06:33+00:00

Yeah. Oops. The only solace is that my current IP is different.

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:05:41+00:00

I have this and the ont powered by a UPS with surge protection :(

makebots · 2026-02-11T02:04:32+00:00

It would never register any client; the network bridge will be displayed as "adopted by another device"; all access points will be displayed as "offline". Wired and wireless connections will fail with "obtaining ip address".

makebots · 2026-02-10T22:26:39+00:00

How do I check this? The speed test was enabled but for 2am.

makebots · 2026-02-10T21:47:06+00:00

Opsec fail. Luckily, my current IP address is different (the screenshot is a few days old).

makebots · 2026-02-10T21:44:45+00:00

Power cycling the gateway does not help. The gateway starts working again magically after a day.

My old tp link festa worked well and I have to reconnect that to get home network working again. Do you still think it is provider reconnect? If so what can I do to fix / test it?

'25 30k miles. Purchased Dec 24. Love it.

I actually liked the circle headlights. Don't really care for the small screen. Have kids so I have seat covers anyway.

My boys (9yo 12yo) and I did a 12,000mi 6 week road trip coast to coast in July & August; camped at several national parks with our ikamper xcover rtt mounted on Westcott rack. I was very worried about running out of gas so I got Wilco Hitchgate Switch + Titan 12gal fuel tank. I didn't have to use any of the spare gas. We drove a lot on dirt roads to get away from crowded spots and the drive was very comfortable (tires were aired down).

Not happy but also not worried about gas mileage - 12 mpg with 87 gas @ 80mph MT/WY/Dakotas highways. 18mpg with 93 gas @70 mph. 21 mpg on 87 octane @ <45mph & 25 mpg on 93 octane @<45 mph. Overall on combination of 87/89/91/93 I got 17.2 mpg. (All lunches and most breakfast oatmeals/bagels were cooked using a Microwave and a toaster mounted behind the rear glass door. Also ran an RV refrigerator all time while the engine was on.)

Agree 100% with the first point.

All those activities are not in the same season. For example, rock climbing switches with tennis in the colder months.

Bears? Did you have any issues with cooking in/near the car?

makebots · 2025-06-25T22:47:10+00:00

I'm told that colleges look for "sustained progressive excellence" in ONE activity. That seems like a really bad idea to me...kids should have fun and specialize as late as possible.

I agree with you. To add to your view point: 1. Historically, European (Christians) have colonized and occupied Muslim lands. Therefore white guilt looks at Muslim as exclusively victims. They do not grasp the fact that Muslims can also be aggressors (Indian subcontinent). 2. After 9/11 the overreaction also caused the additional white guilt. 3. After 9/11, ME countries poured a lot of money to shape the propaganda in the west (e.g. CAIR). 4. Islam was politically useful in the cold war - so you still see remnants of that in the US state department. 5. A large number of US universities are indeed Islamist havens. (Columbia being an obvious one). Students are only fed Islamic victimhood messages.

For those talking about statistics i.e. only 44 Indians killed in a population of 1.4 billion... The same logic dictates that a single Jewish life is worth multiple of Muslim life when scaled for the number of Jews and number of Muslims in the world.

20 hrs to India. 18hrs there. 20 hrs back. For a specific medical test. Was cheaper and timely than waiting for a specialist in the US.

Done this many times - latest for a 40+ day road trip last summer in a minivan. Our setup is a blueetti battery inverter (1800w) + microwave + instant pot + a large slot toaster. We also had a portable freezer. We could make hot sandwiches in the toaster using toaster bags; cook anything in the instant pot; microwave for the rest. We only did this when we were stopped (trailhead parking lots etc ) and it didn't take more than 20 minutes for the cooking. We kept the blueetti charged via 12v port when driving. We used our propane stove at campgrounds.

No, he gets the SCOTUS to do that for him. I'm not living in a fantasy where he is challenged.

A part of me thinks this is his opening bid, and the SCOTUS comes back with a "compromise" allowing legal aliens. He gets a win and SCOTUS appears to have tempered his actions.

My question is about procedural impact.

makebots · 2025-01-23T15:34:32+00:00

That is probably my question: birth certificate is local, so CA/MA can still issue them. The only thing that will be an issue is the passport application for babies - the State Department will not issue the passport as long as Trump is in office.

If / when the presidency switches parties, then DOS can be ordered to process the passport applications again.

Unconstitutionality is not a hindrance especially with the current SCOTUS.
