Former smart TV app developer. I’m going to drive my old dumb lcd TV into the ground before I’m forced to use a “smart” TV.

I prefer casting, but for convenience for my wife, we have a fire tv stick.

I want my panels rendering, not thinking / reporting.

They do. A friend in a fire prone area is unable to get fire coverage through his former provider. He was trying to find an alternative last time we spoke, but the estimate from the state was $500/mo. Just for fire insurance.

At my first job it if college, we had one QA guy at a small company. He did everything. He worked 12+ hours a day and weekends to support a team of ~8 devs iirc.

He was an H-1B. He didn’t have a choice but to work his butt off and do anything they asked.

At one point while I was there, they honored him at some company party, thanking him for his hard work over the last 2 years. Three gift was a $100 restaurant gift card.

And management had the nerve to be “shocked” when he quit immediately after getting his green card.

Eh. He could have intended to use it again, or didn’t find an opportune time to ditch/destroy it. Or maybe he’s not the master People’s assassin that everyone wants him to be.

Rofl. OK. So forensics is fake science now, too? Because it could implicate someone you’d rather see go free?

How is this kind of mental gymnastics any different than the covid deniers.

The whole gun planting take seems like conspiratory nonsense to me. And I’ll trust the forensic science on the striations.

Didn’t he have the burner gun still on him? Honestly asking, I know a lot of disinformation tends to go out early, and I haven’t followed up on verified facts.

Remind me again how Dems are really anti-worker?

We have the Biden administration consistently fighting the pardon student debt, fighting for unions (despite the frequent misrepresentation of facts trying to frame them as union busting), etc.

Then you have Republicans dragging student relief efforts through appeals, repeatedly putting government payroll at risk for shits and giggles, etc.

MAGA paraded with more direct threats of violence on signs, after Jan 6th, with no accountability.

Great fucking job, worst Carolina.

I can see how that deep windshield would help navigate tight spots / ensure you can see pets and children, low retaining walls, curbs, etc. These trucks mostly need to navigate surface streets and unfamiliar residential which can have tight spaces like long and narrow gravel driveways / access roads.

Makes total sense to me. Hope they have backup cameras too

Aye

Motion to amend internet user qualification criteria to exclude smarmy douches like this

That sounds like the point. This town decided that it did not want that city life.

Edit - In that zone. It very well can have higher density zones too.

Ok. What part of that conflicts with what I said?

If he cheated on taxes, then fuck him. But I think it’s generally assumed that these fucks all cheat on their taxes. So if you’re going to go after one, then go after all of them.

And again, he’s not actually a politician, and was only targeted because of who his dad is. If you don’t see that as abuse of authority as revenge against his dad, then there’s no point in talking to you.

Also, if you read the fucking article yourself, it never goes into details on the tax charges.

What’s amazing to me is that you people fall for the rage bait every time.

If you’re being serious, the gun charge is that he checked some box on a gun application stating that he didn’t have any drug addiction problems. IIRC, it was after he got his shit together and was sober.

I didn’t follow the tax evasion charge.

A lot of people here missing the point. We don’t care about this because Hunter was the target of a witch hunt. The actual “crimes” weren’t impactful at all. The Republicans literally spent 8 years dragging him through the mud, digging for anything that he could be charged with, just because who his dad is. And Hunter didn’t even touch politics in the slightest.

The gun charge is the moral equivalent of crucifying someone for having pirated music on their hard drive. It was a nothing crime, never enforced, and the only reason it was in this case was because they happened to find something they could latch onto.

I don’t know anything about the tax evasion conviction. If it was serious, then sure, fuck him. But I’d want them going after every politician AND their family with equal vigor. But guess what? They aren’t.

That’s why most of us don’t really care. The man is not important. He holds no position of power, nor has he expressed any intent to. He is not important, except as a whipping boy for their propaganda. And a pardon for such preposterous prosecution is fine with me.

They’re a cross between BMW drivers and incapable Prius drivers from the oast when they were the first hybrids.

Aka, you have the douches driving like entitled dicks because of the speed and prestige of the brand, and then you have the eco focused clueless drivers putting around.

I tend to keep a wary eye on all teslas because either way, they’re unpredictable.

How would your point of view differ if you had bought your house right before the crash? Your entire outlook on the wisdom of paying yourself via principal vs a landlord seems to be based on your particular (lucky) circumstance that you got into the market at a time where your monthly cost for mortgage was comparable to rent prices at the time. So locking it in time was a good decision.

That is not the case anymore. I have presented numbers to support that argument, even if it’s overly simplified for simple calculations.

And you’re seemingly ignoring the distinct possibility that housing prices may tank, at which case locking your rate at twice comparable rent would be a terrible situation.

Right now, my money is parked in other investments. We are keeping an eye on the housing market, but paying $300k as a down-payment for the privilege of doubling my monthly housing cost does not seem like a financially prudent decision, when my money is making more in its current investments. And given that if we took a loan out now, we’d probably refinance for a lower interest rate at a later time, reseting the interest/principal schedule anyway.

This is the reality of the market right now. Your outlook is not applicable in today’s paradigm.
