The hardest part is learning so much about fellow people you thought you knew.

I have a close person in my life, we used to organize together, went to rally’s, etc. and this person even claims to be responsible for my politics. But they lost their mind during Covid, went anti-mask and jumped both feet into the medical weirdness. Wound up being a big RFK fan.

Now that all this shit is happening, I keep trying to inspire some action. This person told me they were done, not willing fight, wants to let their kids and other people fight for them, they need to be a breadwinner.

So, just embraced the insanity, then stepped aside just in time for fascism to take over. When the fight matters, they just gave up.

Sucks, but at least I finally got to know the real them.

He’s just been itching to use a nuke since his first term. He has talked about it, joked, even suggested it might be on the table. Let history be your guide, this asshole has a pattern. I’m scared as hell.

Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback. Honestly, I might look into it a bit more, more likely with your advice. I am mostly worried about customers, so I always kind of figured I’d start tiny, find space for myself and some friends, if there turns out to be interest, I could expand. But I’ve never found enough folks who want something like that…

I should do some actual research and asking around if there’s a market for such a service. Anyone, feel free to tell me what a great or terrible idea it is.

lol, yeah, wife is a nurse, she brings them home for me :).

Been saying it since his first election. I still do not think America survives the orange fascist.

What a fucking moron.

Reapers man, let’s just say I wash extremely well these days after cutting them up.

I don’t want to setup an ISP, not exactly. I have a dream to setup a consumer/home/hobbyist colo facility; I’d love to offer nerds like me a place to host their personal projects. Been self hosting in my basement for years and would LOVE such a place, where I could stash my stack in a reliable, performant but reasonably priced space. It doesn’t need the security nor enterprise grade stuff that a typical colo has, could even just be in an office, with lockers or something.

I just have no capital, nor any idea how to get something like this off the ground. Probably would instantly go out of business anyway given energy prices today.

I would, but raising three schoolaged kids. Fuck me, never thought this would happen to the world, I was not prepared. Should have had kids 5 years earlier or later…

They don’t, or at least the pedo in chief doesn’t. He just knows that he can sell it to his base. Plus he has stacked the cabinet with true believers and those that stand to profit from all this shit. Just more grift enablement, then again, most religion is.

I say may, only because there are edge cases and exceptions to the rule. Few and far between I’ll grant you.

Still, unresolved parental issues need a partner too, so no skin off my nose…

I think it’s kinda weird and likely indicates that one or both have some unresolved parental issues. I even may silently judge, but it’s none of my business otherwise.

Kinda seems like we already did.

Thanks so much for the advice. I’ll look into it.

I actually have an ac180 for camping and using tools away from power. I kinda figured it was a bit of a waste as just a ups, and worried about killing the battery quickly.

Maybe get another dedicated one for the office where I need it…

You have got to be goddamned kidding me. Literally this weekend I said to myself “time to get a UPS”.

My friends and I have a copy of duece bigelow that we take turns hiding at each others house. I think someone got it as a gift like 20 years ago. I think it’s still in shrink wrap, probably somewhere behind a photo on one of our walls to be found and re-hid someday 🙃

The army drafting rob schneider sounds exactly like a rob schneider movie plot.
