I like the die-grinder microphone. Sets the tone for the rest of the presentation.

My ISP seems to use just normal DHCP for assigning addresses and honors re-use requests. The only times my IP addresses have changed has been I've changed the MAC or UUID that connects. I've been off-line for a week, come back, and been given the same address. Both IPv4 and v6.

If one really wants their home systems to be publicly accessible, it's easy enough to get a cheap vanity domain and point it at whatever address. rDNS won't work, which would probably interfere with email, but most services don't really need it. It's a bit more complicated to detect when your IP changes and script a DNS update, but certainly do-able, if (like OP) one is hell bent on avoiding any off-site hardware.

You don't need AI to make up or mis-cite references. I've seen it in science-adjacent political manifestos for decades.

"No one's going to check the references anyway." If they do, they're easily dismissed as haters trying to sow doubt.

Daniel Stenberg claims that the curl bug reporting system is effectively DDOSed by AI wrongly reporting various issues. Doesn't seem like a good feature in a code auditor.

I, for one, would rather just see them use a couple of 2/0 AWG welding cables, bolted onto a 5mm copper plate on the board. If you need 200 amps, make it look like 200 amps.

Disapproval is a temporary condition, anyway. Soon enough, it'll be illegal (or at least dangerous) to express disapproval, and Trump's numbers will be right up there with Putin and Kim.

For me, the effort of going somewhere to exercise is a big impediment, and I'm self-conscious exercising in front of people. The low barrier to start a daily workout wins, hands down.

Others find camaraderie just having other people involved in the same process, or really enjoy the variety of machines and options of a well-equipped facility.

You have to figure out which type of person you are. The most important thing is just to do something. (Unless you have specific, Jason Momoa-type goals in mind)

Imagine the CEO of Browning or American Rifles helping Joe Biden pick out a new gun from a display in the state dining room.

If this happens to multiple CEOs, companies will just implement secret-service style security for the C-suite. Wouldn't even be a rounding error in CEO compensation.

They released doorbell video of the incident. Dude's running through the neighborhood, half naked, yelling incoherently. Runs up to the home, pounds on the door, rolls around on the porch, still yelling, something about his girlfriend. Bath salts type of crazy.

Asking some anonymous neighbor to remove their peanut tree was pretty funny.

But maybe more, blaming the barking dogs - complainer's own dogs - on a mysterious peanut feeder, as though squirrels wouldn't be running around the neighborhood, playing on the fences and trees anyway, is like the poster has never experienced squirrels before.

One national election every four years is enough for me. I can't even imagine what the campaigns for judges with the power to rewrite the Constitution through creative interpretation would look like, but if they can put Trump in the White House, they could put him on the Supreme Court.

Term limits. Active oversight. Maybe go back to requiring 60+ votes to confirm so the GOP can't shove the Federalist Society hack-of-the-day through with a simple majority.
