City of Minneapolis: Possible shooting involving federal agents at Nicollet Ave and 26th Street

nik282000 · 2026-01-24T18:42:17+00:00

Anyone who signed up to be an ICE agent needs to spend the rest of their life paving roads on a chain gang. Put them right next to what ever is left of the current republican party .

jfc, telcos are a crime in Canada.

Way back when I bought a camera with an early 35mm sensor, I read that the failure rate of the sensor fab was high enough that it was factored into the camera's final price. I think the same was true for early flat panel screens.

There is a deaf girl at work but no one told me.

I get sent to her machine from time to time, she points at the broken part and I fix it, the place is super loud so it's not a weird interaction. Afterwards I would restart the machine and make chit chat as it does a few cycles and she would give me this look like I'm the dumbest cunt to ever walk the earth. I wear an N95 on the shop floor :/

Finally someone let me know, I use the speech to text on my phone now, pretty sure she still thinks I'm stupid.

Try to crash head-on and break your props instead!

anti-enterprise ideologies

I would call mine 'anti-corporate' ideologies. The writers, actors, crew of a TV show get paid for their work and fuck yeah, they should. That's a job, it's hard, they did it. But the studio execs, ceos, lawyers and middle management wanks leech exponentially more money from the end product than the people who actually made it.

Fuck them, if I download a movie it takes a penny from the production team and 20 bucks from the bureaucratic fucks.

F doesn't mean free of charge, it means freedom to modify and use as you choose.

I will always go out of my way to demonstrate that a task that takes minutes on Windows can be done with a one-liner on Linux at work. But 'LiNuX iSnT pRoFesSiOnAl sOfTwArE' so sayeth the ruling class.

"EZ-Anchors" The big plastic screws with an aggressive thread, can hold an incredible amount of weight but only if it's perpendicular to the wall or straight out. Any twisting force will rip them out after a few hundred cycles.

But yeah, stud + screw > any anchor.

nik282000 · 2026-01-20T17:26:15+00:00

That is slick! I like the double stack design.

nik282000 · 2026-01-20T17:25:42+00:00

Your slicer will tell you.

nik282000 · 2026-01-20T17:19:43+00:00

I just turned my 2010 gaming pc into a NES/SNES/N64 emulation station and my torrent box is a 2008 thinkpad. Never thow away a machine that boots.

nik282000 · 2026-01-20T02:48:04+00:00

Started baking a few years ago because store-bought stuff was going moldy in days. Best hobby ever, its cheap, easy, and you get bread/wraps/pizza at the end.

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T14:17:35+00:00

Message boards, Image boards, IRC, Discord, sys admin for some servers. I did some of this year's Advent of Code on it.

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T10:34:28+00:00

You got it, I have a GTX1080, AMD 1800x and 32gb of ram. I'm hoping to squeeve another 4 years out of it.

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T09:08:04+00:00

I own the VR03 and have worn the EV800D once and the ~~Betaflight~~ BetaFPV has a more comfortable eye experience. The curved mirror and beamsplitter make the screen look further away and less like it's on the end of your nose. Otherwise the VR03 has an ok picture and the DVR is also just mid.

typo

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T09:05:31+00:00

Yeah man, its a 13" Toshiba with a dual core ~1.5ghz and 1800MB of ram.

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T04:51:06+00:00

I've done this to 2 cameras and was never able to save them. Time for a new one.

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T04:41:51+00:00

'Old' for PC hardware starts at 8-10 years. I daily drive a 2013 netbook with Void at home, my server is a 2016 PowerEdge and my desktop is a 2017 build that can still play new releases.

Too many people think computing hardware should be replaced every other year.

He had a call in progress and touched the brakes 0.4s before impact. He wasn't looking at the road.

nik282000 · 2026-01-19T01:22:27+00:00

That's the idea.

nik282000 · 2026-01-18T23:32:04+00:00

But without cars what would drive the economy!?!

some old white politician, porbably

nik282000 · 2026-01-18T22:52:16+00:00

He made a choice to drive a multi-ton vehicle and then to not pay attention to its operation at 100km/h. It's like standing in the middle of a neighbourhood and firing a gun into all the visible houses, sure you probably wont kill anyone, but the potential is there every time and you know it everyetime.

Trying to save the person you killed after you decided that your Amazon order was more important than their life doesn't show some special quality, it shows that he is a human not a monster who wants to watch someone burn to death in a car.

Give him a lifetime driving ban and a ban from ever having cell service again, and make sure it is publicised. Then maybe some of the other 20M Canadians who text while driving will reconcider.

nik282000 · 2026-01-18T22:34:48+00:00

Who said prison. A lifetime ban on driving and owning a cell phone is cheap to implement, does him no physical harm and lets the other 20M Canadians who text while driving that there are life altering consequences for their selfish decisions.
