  • I've ruined a few people's good time of this lol, sorry! If I'm sitting in a bar and hear the same song more than 2x in a row, I've been known to pull out the flipper zero and skip your songs. Hell I've done it when someone played the Kid Rock version of Sweet Home Alabama once lol.

  • YSK the four rules of firearm safety

    Jump

  • For sure all this, one note, rule 0 is

    encounter one at the home of a friend or family member.

    If you don't know what to do (RE: these other four rules and how to operate that specific firearm) or are nervous, don't goddamn touch it unless you have to. If it's a safe situation and not something out of the ordinary like kids or burglars are around and the owner is dead, go get the owner of the gun or someone who is experienced enough to handle them safely.

  • I think "terrific shows" was supposed to be facetious, as most of those are not terrific shows. I think the gag was "they cancelled us to make way for all of this bullshit nobody liked."

    Which tbf fits their modus operandi, they cancelled King of the Hill 4 episodes early to run the fucking cleveland show.

  • The measurement is from the rear of the buffer tube to the tip of the barrel without the muzzle device (or with, if pin and weld).

    That's also a pistol brace, not a stock at all, and it doesn't screw on it slips over the buffer tube. The buffer tube is screwed into the lower and held on by a properly torqued castle nut and an endplate that is (hopefully) properly staked, but being that those are essential for the function of the firearm (while the brace and muzzle device are not), that is the measurement the ATF uses.

    If it's an SBR he should put a stock on it, but since it has a pistol brace I'm betting he hasn't filed for a tax stamp on it yet, other than the can of course.

  • My bad.

    But yes I agree with her (you) lol.

  • Well it is illegal to posses, unless you successfully register it as a destructive device with ATF but if you had the qualifications you needed you'd know about it, so we can't do it.

    For sure hollow points though.

  • Yet you're suggesting using a molotov cocktail inside your home is safer? I'm guessing you've never used one of those, either (and neither have I mr fbi man that's very illegal and I would never...) but they're not exactly super controllable.

    Nor are they practical, you have to keep them capped or the gas will evaporate, so you'd have to open it, soak your rag, and stuff it all while saying "hold on mr home invader I'll be right with you."

    Nor is it legal, the AR is a self defense case that in my state is pretty cut and dry, the Molotov is an unregistered destructive device charge, an arson charge, and probably an attempted murder charge since he'll likely survive with third degree burns tbh.

    I'm assuming you're joking anyway, but fun to debate nonetheless lol.

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm not gonna molotov a guy inside my own house, I'll just use an AR. Easier clean up.

    Though he should have said "get at least two guns, you and your wife learn to use it, and carry one even at home for a while just in case."

  • YSK you can turn off Google's personalised advertising. This prevents them from using things like your browsing history, search history, or personal data to serve you customised advertisements.

    Jump

  • The only ads I ever click on are when I search something like "brother dcp-l2550w toner" and the first result is an ad for Staples where I was going to buy the thing anyway. Even if I saw an ad for that exact toner and said "ah, that reminds me I need more toner," I'd still not click that ad but rather go search as described because I do not click ads.

    There have been times I've been so annoyed by a company's ads that instead of buying their product I go with their direct competitor out of pure spite (if I needed something like the item in question, ykwim).

  • True, though I can't help but wonder where the accompanying comic is that implies there's a sizeable group of people who see men as just dumb bank accounts who only want sex and are pigs, and how that comic would be perceived as opposed to this one.

    I'm betting the author didn't make said comic and anyone who posted it if it were made would be called an incel immediately, but who knows.

  • Yeah I've heard excel the hard one to replace if you need some special functions of it, idk tbh I've used excel like twice and basic stuff at that so LibreOffice works fine for me.

    Lol I don't even know what visualization means in this context, I'm definitely no help on this one! Sorry!

    Hope so, it seems to be more common these days! I "recently" got a Framework16, which was my first dual ssd laptop (but unfortunately doesn't meet your size requirements).

  • Awesome thanks, that gives me hope! The other thing is at the moment I lack internet haha, mobile only, but now I'll get moving on actually doing that and calling my dreaded local ISP vampires.

  • What are your latest privacy wins ?

    Jump

  • I mean tbh by nature, no.

    It's a pseudononymous forum, so it's better than social media that requires identification or attempts to fingerprint users, as you can use an email and uname not linked to your identity, but you're still posting things publicly for all to read. Your DMs can likely be read by at least your instance's admins and likely the admins of servers you DM with, same for Mastodon.

    If you're looking for true privacy, you want a Journal that you keep in a good safe. If you're communicating with others at all you're sacrificing some degree of privacy, letters can be steamed open or copied and forwarded by recipients, things told to someone in confidence can be remembered and repeated, even recorded.

    I'd say that lemmy (or Masto etc) is good enough for things you wouldn't mind too much being leaked or that you'd say publicly anyway, but if you're say going to mail something to me and need my address, well you're gonna need to reach out to me here, we'll move to Delta chat, and exchange addresses there, but I'd never DM it here.

  • Got two people (plus me) on Delta Chat so far. The easy onboarding really comes in handy for getting "normals" (like my parents and technologically challenged friends) to sign up, especially when compared to MossadChat (Matrix) and Jabber, and it has less metadata than both, and it eats less battery than both, and somehow it works better than both (MossadChat calls didn't work because of the delay from pull notifications, Jabbers did but the battery life was atrocious, like we're talking 20% in the background vs 1% of my battery on Delta.)

  • I've had a Linsys router that is supported on my table still sealed for like a year and a half putting this off. Was it hard? Is there much to adjust in the set up after or is it kinda just plug and play "plug into modem and set your passwords" type stuff?

  • It has definitely improved in your absence.

    But yeah I understand needing your programs to work. For some like Office you may be able to get away with a replacement like OpenOffice or LibreOffice, maybe not. Idk what PowerBi is but it sounds like a c/196 user's uname lol, and from a cursory search it looks like Teams is supported with a .deb and a .rpm but I can't attest personally.

    I'd also recommend using a laptop with two SSDs if possible, one for linux and one for windows, to alleviate some of the headaches in dual booting.
