My house is over 30 years old, and the studs are 24" apart. Frustrating when I need to hang things built for 16". 😭

Unfortunately, a tie means it doesn’t set precedence, and Justice Barrett likely won’t recuse herself on the next case.

When police questioned Garcia on Saturday after his arrest, he said he had “continued this lie for several months because he did not know how to stop it in fear that they would not like him,” police said.

Mr. Garcia, I have some bad news for you …

I blame Glenn Beck and his stupid Tea Party.

Even then, he was still lying because he added the disclaimer “if she wasn’t my daughter.”

That’ll be 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 rubles.

The only 7-seater available in 2018 was the Model X. Yes, it was clear he was an asshole as far back as 2018, but he was still a huge proponent of mitigating climate change (in hindsight it was clearly a grift for him), so at the time I thought it was a net positive. I used up a lot of my savings to afford it, so it would be difficult for me to switch to anything that isn’t a gas car.

I switched to EVs in 2014, and went fully electric in 2018. My problem is that there still isn’t a good alternative I can use for long distance trips for my family of 7. I’d love to switch to something like the Kia EV9, but I almost have my current car paid off, and can’t afford another $80k car. I’m conflicted, because I don’t want to switch back to a gas car, and I believe my current power company is on track to be 50% sustainable/renewable in 5-10 years. I feel like it could take me years as opposed to months to find a replacement EV that works for me.

Yes, it was definitely a product of indoctrination from my dad, who was a chiropractor (my grandpa was also a chiropractor); he was very knowledgeable in other medical areas like anatomy, so it was difficult for me to realize he was wrong about this.

Though, I did write an argumentative paper for high school English about why vaccines were less effective than we thought, and should not be worth the risk. I even used statistics from the same measles outbreak I was part of as proof, because 50% of those who got the measles were vaccinated. Of course, I was too dumb at the time to realize that 50 people from a vaccinated pool of 200,000 doesn’t equate to 50 people from an unvaccinated pool of 10,000 (I don’t remember exact numbers anymore, this was almost 30 years ago).

She said she was planning to get our first child vaccinated, and if I had a problem with that, I could raise my concerns to the pediatrician. I’m non-confrontational enough that I didn’t push the issue any further, but I was still terrified that our first child was going to suffer from a vaccine injury.

I think me being scared about my son was enough to get me to look more closely at how research like Andrew Wakefield’s had to be faked to get the results he wanted and that no one else could duplicate his findings, and one of those replication studies was even performed by an undergrad student that I realized had no “big pharma” incentive to lie about it. By the time our second child was born, I was already anti-antivax.

I was raised antivax, got the measles at age 17, and was still antivax for roughly 10 more years. It was my wife that convinced me to actually think about it, because she was adamant about vaccinating any children we had. I have her to thank for making me less ignorant. My sisters, on the other hand, are all still antivax despite my attempts to convince them otherwise.

This just looks like a standard orthographic projection with Canada near the center.

You are mistaking a “concerted effort” with a general consensus that free VPNs are not a great idea. “If a service is free, you are not the customer, you are the product” is a pretty good rule of thumb. Your downvotes aren’t necessarily a conspiracy here.

Close, Coordinated Universal Time. And for those wondering: Why is UTC used instead of CUT?

If Apple gets their way, you’ll be renewing every month:

I couldn’t find any news stories to confirm this, but given the current administration’s picks, I still can’t tell if you’re serious.

This probably explains the post I saw last night about Roger Ver. I was wondering how a post about a Bitcoin cash shill hit my All feed.

“That’s a sandwich worthy of Dagwood Bumstead!”

The Linksys WRT3200ACM has A/B firmware support, but unfortunately that router is starting to get a little outdated. Saved me from a couple bad upgrades, but unfortunately it died on me about 4 months ago. I updated to the Banana Pi BPI-R3, which has been great for my network speed, but was a lot more complicated to set up.

Are you trying to say you’re not a fan of needing to reinstall packages after an upgrade? It’s so simple with these easy to remember commands:

opkg update
cat /etc/backup/installed_packages.txt | grep overlay | sed s/\ *overlay// | xargs opkg install
