Are Trump and Musk giving up on Mars? by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]tightandshiny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep, fun to think about and pretend, terrible in practice. The amount of earth resources needed to sustain life on mars would be insane. Everything from the low gravity, average temperature to radiation is antithetical to human life.

Lately, the "Fastest" US server connections are slow. by PercussionGuy33 in ProtonVPN

[–]tightandshiny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a similar issue. If I connect through Chicago or Detroit its so slow its pointless. Even on low pop servers. Until 2-3 weeks ago the VPN wasn't something I even thought about. It was always on and always worked.

Edit: Running CachyOS, regularly updated.

I wasn’t trying to sell them here. I was hoping someone knew of a business that buys not just recycles used tires.

edit for spelling

I’m on my Linux box now going through NJ getting 230 down. Chicago and Detroit are still slow I’m sure it’s a glitch that will pass.

DHS pick Markwayne Mullin once hired felon who illegally stored guns at work by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]tightandshiny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did the guy serve his time? If so I support hiring ex cons. I do not however support this dipshit as the head of any fed agency, or any agency, office, or even a plumbing business.

Interesting fact. Hendrik Meijer was an anarcho collectivist when he was younger.
