  • You know what is better than this "gift"? A functional tax system that actually captures and allocates what a fair share of wealth/earnings a person has or accumulates each year.

  • Sen. Mitch McConnell falls in Capitol hallway

  • Our bare minimum goal as humans should be to live a life where people across the world don't celebrate when we fall or get hurt. Mitch didn't get that message.

  • So it was just looking for a payout or to avoid governmental pressure got it.

  • Genuine question for the business people here. Would it have been possible to say no to this sale? If I remember correctly, publicly traded companies have to do certain things for their shareholders but I would assume you could essentially say no of you had reservations about the sale for ethical/financial reasons right?

    I am not sure if Dominion is publicly traded but I have to wonder about this sale given the lawsuits they went through and won as well as the pending ones.

  • Setup was easy, it just works, its stable, and if you want the regular updates, just get the lifetime model on sale. I bought it becaue I didn't want to spend time screwing with setup and just wanted to get my data moved snd running.

    Entry-Level NAS recommendations?

    Jump

  • I have not kept up with their raw disk lineup to be honest, they may be garbo but I am not sure. I have been using toshiba and seagate drives for the last 8 years which have been great.

  • The WD devices also offer very limited long term support. The MyBook Live had a software exploit found a couple years after launch that allowed remote access to your files and enabled third parties to wipe your drives. Wd said "wow, that sucks, here is a $15 coupon for a new one. No, we aren't gonna patch it. Buy a new one" I will never buy another wd device except for the raw discs.

  • The Dropkick Murphys put out two albums recently in his memory/spirit. Okemah Rising and This Machine Still Kills Fascists. They are both excellent. Their newest album is also awesome and a more classic DKM style.

  • Job growth revised down by 911,000 through March, signaling economy on shakier footing than realized

    Jump

  • I posted this a few months back and it is still anecdotal but in the Houston metroplex I have noticed a significant amount of commercial for lease signs and it seems to be increasing with time. That is concerning because commercial real estate is often built on credit (mortgages) then the tenant's payments go to pay the loans. When occupancy goes down, the ability to pay that loan goes down until its unsustainable and it goes into default.

    If you default on you home loan of say $300,000, its your problem and the bank has recourse and gets your asset. When a commercial loan of $5,000,000 defaults and no one was renting it already, the bank gets the asset but it's not "worth" anything other than the building/land and it is harder for the bank to recoup that value.

    When that happens en-masse, that's a problem for the bank... Which makes it a problem for the economy, and it becomes a problem for all of us. This has been going on for a while and no one is doing anything about it. The cliff looks to be approaching.

  • Well yeah, they have guns and know how to use them.

  • Texas uses special session to push “discriminatory & harmful” anti-trans & anti-abortion bills

    Jump

  • Your example of working to unconsciousness is overly reductive, as in this case it would actually accomplish nothing. Circumventing laws that are outright harmful by utilizing a tool at your disposal is a reasonable expectation.

    By not doing so, there are years if not decades long repercussions for significant chunks of the population of Texas. Best case scenario now, the status quo is maintained in the federal house races. More of this godawful legislation is going to get rammed through the Texas Legislature now that they are back and since they are under protective custody now if something comes up they want to kill in process they can't leave again.

    It's not their fault that the Governor is pushing these laws, its also not their fault that their Republican colleagues are voting for it. It is their fault for not following through until they had some other means of stopping the bleeding here. Voting no when there is no meaningful result produced doesn't get you a gold star.

  • When someone leaves you no other option to prevent this kind of thing from moving forward, you do whatever you can to stop it. Virtue signaling for a few weeks then going back to business as usual while the steamroller keeps rolling over people as you tell it to stop isn't enough anymore.

    Yeah, The Governor is the one to blame for this being on the agenda. Yes, the Republican reps voting in favor of this are to blame for supporting it, and so are the people who voted them in to start with when given the choice between a Republican and a Democrat. But the Democrats who just came back from the quorum break are also to blame because them not being present prevented these fucks from passing this stuff and god knows what else to come.

    Its not the time to roll over and accept that fascism is coming while saying "well I didn't vote for it" fuck that defeatist attitue.

    I am pissed at a lot of this, the situation sucks, "voting harder" isn't the solution here. Yeah, you as the electorate still need to vote in every election and Democratic Reps need to vote no or ammend everything they can, but if there are legal methods to stop this shit (like the quorum break) I expect my representatives to do that because its their fucking job. Saying, "well we tried" is what got us here in the first place and it won't get us out of where we are.

  • Just a reminder, Texas democratic reps had been on a quorum break preventing legislation from moving forward and they came back. This was preventable just like the redistricting. Yes, there is nuance to why they came back, but there was also the option not to come back because they knew more of this shit was coming down the pipeline.

  • I make one off fixtures to position parts for fiberglass layups or woodworking and its amazing to be able to get really precise fitups without needing a cnc machine or expensive metal for single use stuff.

  • I am using syncthing to directionally sync my music from my server to my phone. I like having the local copy on both devices so I don't worry about losing cell service/internet.
