This is one of those moments, like buying a new car that all the “bells"and whistles” in the end work against you.

I’m going thru this right now. I spent most of my life being able to move in 24 hours. Now I have to plan, I have to check local laws, I feel a slave to things I “own”. Point is the same w/ this. Your unnecessary web enabled device “own” them too.
Why do you need a web enabled fridge/freezer? I want a SNMP/Trap (one way, exit only) alarm when temp is getting near outside the “safe zone”. One way, I set the numbers local, can’t be changed otherwise.
Its simple (as am I), why does it need to be on the “cloud”??? AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS?
Its wild how many parts of the world outlaw motorcycles. As a rider too I feel for the locals…
And that cat it too dang cure, all tuckered out guarding the store :) Too dang cute!!!
Not since Xi showed up, from what I heard China has really cracked down on the shenanigans plus they put up bollards to prevent it.
They are copper jacketed, well the ones I have are. Also got a pile of Russian steel core before Obama banned their importation.
Funny I’m not “seeing” this in the PM’s markets. In fact silver right now is about the lowest I have seen in ages, fighting off the idea of buying some Au/Ag.
EDIT:
But in the spirit of what I think the AI boom is going to do:
We would shoot steel core but the government considers it “Armor Piercing” so its banned from import and from a lot of states… So its lead.
Guangzhou, China takes the cake. I was there for a few weeks. Wrong side of the road, wrong way on one way streets, ON THE FUCKING SIDEWALKS w/ ped traffic. It was insane!
Dominican Republic is a distant second, there was order to the chaos I could see after a few weeks… China it was pure entropy at its finest!
Tell me you have never been oversea’s (let alone drove there) without telling me you have never been overseas.
Everywhere in the world people drive like ass hats. It part of the human condition.
Don’t tell the chinese, they will strip that island clean in a NY minute.
Ramen, PB&J, etc was my goto for lunch. On Fridays I would go out to lunch w/ the team but not everyday like they did. Saved a ton.
Did the same thing on the road and pocketed the per diem… Send off diner was about the only time I went out and I could expense the meal. I was hosting the client after the project was complete per my management.
I fucking HATE BoA, good.
Marvin Boggs: Do you know what’s wrong with this country?
Sarah Ross: They’re all trying to kill us?
Marvin Boggs: Exactly!
Reason 3,256,247 of why I don’t have social media…
What does that make us?
I am utterly SHOCKED!
Oh wait, its just another idle Saturday and business as usual… If this guy makes it past the primary its going to be a disaster.
Yup, they went after that guy that fixed his battery w/ less than 20 dollars in plumbing parts from damage hitting some simple road debris. The only option they gave him was a new batter for an ungodly amount of money.
Thats wild, none of those resources were around when I was that age.
I sat in a meeting, it was late here so I hit a west coast meeting. Nice group of folks, it was helpful hearing others talk about being sober and the issues before and after. Definitely will keep exploring as I get a better feel for the community.
My big issue is a legally owned machine gun, yeah it happens. I never expected to buy it, the price was right. Now its ATF paperwork and the fucking furniture.
