The government has been conditioned to give away control so much due to decades of corporate lobbying, spectacular they make a jump probably for social reasons without understanding the technological and economic underlying drivers. I'm sure a $500/HR big 4 consultant will provide them a slide on it in 20 years.

Shirley it's redundant when they have the blind US Justice system™ to hold all accountable equally

Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.

Anything from Machinariun. One of my favorite games ever; art style, problem solving, homage to video games, but the music ties it all together in such a beautiful way. One of the outside problems involves helping a group of musicians get their stolen instruments back who then play a different rhythm and melody for you when you pass through.

I would encourage you to learn more before sharing; there may be treatment options, you might have a cancer that is very treatable, unknown or untreatable. Likelihoods and timelines are the most important thing that your family will want to know; sharing "stage 2 cancer type x and this is a general treatment plan and timeline" is a very different conversation from "I have cancer, don't know what type, the timeline or likelihoods of outcomes".

It may be different for you and your family but that can really help your family receive, process the news and support you how you need.

Trump may beat everyone to it. Bash on immigrants as he loves to since it brings out poor white folks, many of his financial backers are industries like service (hotels, restaurants, Ag) who are already understaffed because they've made the jobs so awful only truly desperate or illegal workers will stand them. He will seriously trigger "a day without immigrants" meanwhile upending prices through tariffs that will screw most Americans who are already living in debt and skipping basics. Unfortunately for America, there will not be another election if he wins this week.

The only consolation is that he probably can't get the (mostly lovely) sounds out of his head either.

Sorry but we're raising the minimum retirement age to 72

 

Replacing a dishwasher. Most of the mid-range options now come with fucking Wi-Fi. Found a model I liked, no info in manual and support from Samsung was of course, useless since it wasn't already in the manual and wanted to keep talking about their exciting "smart things" app. gag.

I saw a youtube video of a guy disconnecting wifi cable on a fridge. I'm fine doing that if I have to open up the board but it'll probably be smaller than the fridge and who knows if it'll be helpfully labled like the one in the video was. Internet searching showed me there may be oven keypress combinations to turn wi-fi radio on/off. Anyone have anything similar/advice for Samsung appliances, specifically dishwashers?

 

Other than "dont' use Godaddy", what do I need to know? I've never owned a domain or had a website of my own before.

  1. Domain registration/host recommendations?
  2. Web hosting recommendations? Should I mix #1 and #2?
  3. Website template creation suggestions? Have fairly simple needs like service offerings and contact forms but want something without rotating construction cones.
  4. What else should I consider? Security? e-mail?
  5. Am open to all-in-one for the above, just would like to understand tradeoffs, what to look for/avoid.

TIA

 

Price range for retail seems to be $100-250 for IKEA stuff that will fall apart in 3 years, or $1,000+ for something better. Is there nothing in between? Would prefer to buy new with risk of bed bugs or other contaminants but open to other options if I'm missing something.
