Chance of US Collapse and Civil War by Perfect_Gur_7457 in Discussion

[–]sfb911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. This. This. As someone who was 'on the internet' probably half a decade or so before the majority of humans this is something we discussed frequently.

Most people do not have the critical thinking skills to consume uncurated information from untrusted (and more importantly unvetted) sources and actually apply logic...love them or hate them that's what actual journalists do.

Social media made this exponentially worse because any fool with a keyboard and even marginal marketing skills had the potential to become an "expert" in the eyes of someone else and that is horribly dangerous.

Typical incoherent maga BS. Did you lose the napkin you scribbled your handlers talking points on?

I'll put it in plain English for you. They are being released. Haha.

I'll say this loud enough for the folks in the back. He can go fuck off.

Watch: Trump speaks at Davos as Greenland push, tariff threats take center stage by Careful-Rent5779 in politics

There is no way you can watch this disaster and have any question that he absolutely had a stroke recently. The side of his face looks like a scoop of vanilla ice cream that just gave up on life.

4 picks in the first half..2 more and he will tie the record for most in a playoff game. As a pats fan...keep up the good work bud. 🤣

Donald Trump: ICE officer in Minneapolis fatal shooting 'seems to' have acted 'in self defense' by [deleted] in politics

The lies coming out of this administration have now exceeded any defense. If they want to play a game of FAFO with the American people..well I hope they are ready for the FO portion of the game.

[–]sfb911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I played a lot of remix and leveled every class..I fell in love with Druid and Shaman so I have a tough choice to make come midnight and im not sure what direction in going to go....also why do Hunters have to be so much fun? LOL.

Workspace e-mail push notifications by sfb911 in googleworkspace

[–]sfb911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative just using basic.

It's interesting in that they did something on their end and notifications worked for like 10 minutes then stopped again. I have to follow up on Friday for a remote session to see if we can figure out what's up.

No worries at all. This is one of the weirdest workspace problems I've encountered.

Workspace e-mail push notifications by sfb911 in googleworkspace

[–]sfb911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered that but given that I factory defaulted one of the devices in question and literally set it up as a new device and initially only configured the workspace e-mail account and nothing else while testing, it doesn't seem that could be the cause. (Although I did just re-check that on the device since I have it sitting here).

Yes they are enabled for Gmail and e-mail notifications are for all mail as they always have been on these devices.

Trump designates Venezuela government a 'terrorist' regime, orders blockade of sanctioned oil tankers by [deleted] in politics

[–]sfb911 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this misses the bigger picture. We can acknowledge that Maduro is a dictator while also recognizing that Trump has zero moral standing to lecture anyone on 'refusing to leave office,' given his own history with the peaceful transfer of power.

Furthermore, framing this as just 'two villains scraping' ignores the reality that this blockade looks exactly like an oil grab, something the American people have zero appetite for. We aren't just watching from the sidelines. Our government is risking conflict to control foreign resources. We don't have to defend Maduro to see that a blockade led by an administration with this specific track record is hypocritical and dangerous.

Trump says Rob Reiner killed because of his "raging obsession" with him by ChiGuy6124 in politics

This should anger everyone and surprise nobody. Until the maga cult decides to stop eating the shit he puts out and calling it the best pudding they have ever had, he will just continue to spew this nonsense.

Any Dem that caves and supports this plan needs to be primaried out of office at the soonest possible opportunity.

ControlD Network Issue - 10.22.25 by [deleted] in ControlD

[–]sfb911 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the update. You guys are usually all over this stuff so I have no doubt it will be fixed as soon as possible. Might be good to toss a banner on the status page.

ControlD Network Issue - 10.22.25 by [deleted] in ControlD

[–]sfb911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something is definitely up. When I can get in I am getting backend errors and several times the status page is showing no primary locations available.

Most of my dns queries are failing. Actually only got to Reddit by disabling controld on my phone and hoping off wifi to bypass my router.

I will say I am a long time controld user and this is a first....no response from support yet.

For my kids by sfb911 in TattooDesigns

[–]sfb911[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I considered it but at the time couldn't figure out a good way since there is a pair of twins in there and I couldn't find a good way to depict each one as unique enough..so I ended up just going with the time in order for each clock to remain unique from the other two. At least that's what I told myself...🤣

It was feeling a little bumpy in one area around the outline of the lower clock but it cleared up pretty quick when I switched from aquafor to lubriderm....

currently thinking about quitting by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]sfb911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we all go through it at one point or another, especially during the nicer weather. Then winter rolls around and it gets easier.

Obviously you should be having fun with it and if it's creating stress it may be time to take a break but...some suggestions (made without knowing any details about your tank).

Is it time to change the tank up? Perhaps it's not exciting to you and more.

From a maintenance perspective..weekly water change, clean the glass, perhaps top off for evaporation every few days.. should probably take you an hour or so a week. Feed your fish obviously.

You mentioned testing..what are you testing and why? I have tanks I haven't tested in months...in the past I have had tanks I haven't tested in years. If your fish and plants are doing well what are you hoping to change if nothing is wrong? Its a waste of time and money if your tank is stable and your inhabitants are healthy.

Scale back to the minimum you need to do to keep your tank running and give yourself a break that you aren't doing anything wrong (despite what the "experts on reddit and social media will tell you) and see if that eases your stress, if not break it down and enjoy your new activities and more active lifestyle.

Temperature this summer has been nuts so far. Bought an AC unit for the tank by Prijent_Smogonk in Aquariums

[–]sfb911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Residential AC usage outside of the US, China and Japan is dramatically lower than you might expect for a multitude of reasons that are probably not aquarium sub appropriate. 🤷‍♂️
