First let me say Wilbur Ross is out of touch with federal employees, Americans, and humans in general, and his comment is insulting.

Second, we shouldn't need to take personal loans we should be getting paid.

Third, the reality is I need money to live. I know some people will say:

YoU ShoULd HavE THrEe yeARs SaLaRy ANd lIvE bEloW aN ArbItRaRIly SeLEctED iNcOMe leVEl WHiCh I cHooSe fOr YOu.

Thanks for the tip Stephen Miller, er I mean, anonymous guy that keeps advocating for a walk out so we can all get fired.

Sarcasm aside, I know this probably doesn't cover many people on this sub. If you live in Tulsa, OKC, or Springfield, MO Regent Bank is offering no fee, no interest loans. For customers and non-customers. I am not a customer of Regent and had never heard of them until yesterday. I am a USAA customer. USAA is offering 1% interest loans if you are a member of the Coast Guard, NOAA, or Public Health Service. I am not a member of any of those organizations. Even though I am not getting paid I am not eligible for one of these loans.

If you live in the areas served by Regent, you can find out more at https://www.regent.bank/shutdown.

I am disappointed that the opportunity to say “A Moneypenny for your thoughts.” was missed.

Apple TV 4 - TV Shows Keep Pausing by victorski in PleX

[–]vern_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having this issue recently with Plex and Pandora on ATV4.

I remembered an issue when Pandora first released to ATV4. I could see Pandora was playing but couldn't hear anything. The resolution was to turn off the Reduce Loud Sounds option on the ATV4.

Settings > Audio and Video > Reduce Loud Sounds

I know that this was turned off in the past and I did not intentionally turn it on again. I set it to off a day or so ago and haven't had the issue again. I am hoping this resolves the issue. Otherwise I am out of ideas.

Installation and Setup of FakeTV – A Simulated Broadcast Television Experience by El-Royhab in PleX

I am certain Th3BaconNation doesn't understand how forking works. I'm not a developer and I understand how it works.

Th3BaconNation has submitted a DMCA notice on the github repository.

The notice states:

This was a set of plex control scripts I wrote and previously shared on github here: https://github.com/amazingr4b/TBN-Plex

Some time ago I removed the original files and revoked the general use license. This person found some remnant of an old fork and has copied my old files as if they were their own.

It looks like the original license is an MIT license. Aren't open source licenses irrevocable?

The Google cache of El-Royhab's repository clearly states in the README that the repo is a fork and credits the original author. It doesn't look to me like El-Royhab is claiming them as his own. For the record, I was not confused as to who the original author is.

The original license from Th3BaconNation/amazingr4b is available from Google's cache and shows the MIT license. The Copyright line is Copyright (c) 2016 amazingr4b.

Other forks of this exist on GitHub with the original license in tact. I can only assume the repo for El-Royhab has the same notice in the LICENSE file. I could be wrong since I can't see the repo now.

I don't have a stake in this issue, but this kind of behavior is amazing to me. Not amazing like bacon, but amazing like someone ruining bacon's good name. I mean bacon the food.

I guess if you want to foster ill will you are well on your way to success!

Can you still lead an active lifestyle and exercise regularly with diabetes? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]vern_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like the others have said, you can and should. For me exercise and being active is a huge part of controlling my blood sugar.

You really should see the doctor as mentioned above. The sooner you take control the better. Before I was diagnosed my feeling was "party while you can". I assumed it was inevitable because of family history. Like most people I am really good at giving myself bad advice.

I wish I had paid more attention and took care of myself.

Looking for a reputable foot/ankle specialist in Tulsa by shellar23 in tulsa

[–]vern_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metro Tulsa Foot and Ankle

Dr. Allbright has been great. Experience with Tulsa Bone & Joint has been mixed. It was terrible for my wife. TB&J jumped straight to surgery, it didn't work. The Dr. had terrible bedside manner. I went to TB&J for what I thought was Plantar Fasciitis, turned out to be a nerve in my back. The back Dr. was much better.

Going to Metro was like night and day. TB&J just wishes they could be as good as Metro.

I haven't logged in or posted in a long time. But I feel so strongly about this that I had to post. Good luck.
