I recall one of the Batman movies having regular people start acting like Batman. That would be an interesting concept, exceptional people trying to be "Captain America". Maybe have the story arc be that the original captain is gone for some reason and the stories are about people fighting against bad guys who look up to the captain and emulate him. That could create some interesting stories of people trying to be more but I don't expect them to do anything fun like that.
Roku Channel
Night Wolf - 80's show about a sweet helicopter and cheesy stories about its crew
A Team - I don't think I need to explain this one.
Magnum PI - 80s PI in Hawaii. Holds up well to current day PI shows.
There's a streaming channel I can't find the name of. It's basically Nick at Nite but it's free. I only know it because I know that the Roku service ignores it when you search and it has a purple/pink play button for an icon. They have a ton of old Don Knots movies along with westerns. The man with no name trilogy, in particular The Good The Bad and The Ugly is really well done.
Archive.org has old radio shows. I typically listen to X-Minus One and Dragnet but there's plenty of other decent stuff on there. https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio
I've been looking at doing my own thing using InspIRCd behind my home VPN. It looks like there's potential to even encrypt IRC traffic on top of the VPN encryption. For those of you who don't know IRC it's old school tech and news orgs like to refer to it as the dark web to make it sound scary.
I think we're at a point where infrastructure needs to think about going back to the end user. We've had too much consolidation at the corporate level and taking the time to build your own system, secure it, and invite only people you know will really be the way to go. Any time you allow a lot of people in you'll inevitably get the commie/SJW crowd because they're usually trust fund kids and they don't have a job to go to leaving them all day to ruin your work.
I've been dealing with this. There are 4 different exploits that when combined can give Chinese hackers access to your system. A lot of it would be manual work but the problem is that once the server is exploited it could allow access for some time to come and that could lead to full network access.
There's a script you can use to check your server here: https://github.com/microsoft/CSS-Exchange/tree/main/Security
If you can't update to the latest CU and patch then your best option is to disable access to 80/443 from outside of your network till you can. Your only hurdle is management stopping you because "they need email on there phones".
It's the one about getting married for benefits. They adopt a kid, live together, and leads to the no homo last night joke. I know exactly what you're talking about but can't find it.
Creating similar structures makes it easier and faster to expand. I live in a area where the houses age start around 1850 and they all look similar with near identical layouts.
I got into old Clint Eastwood recently. Dirty Harry, Fistfull of Dollars, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was especially amazing despite its age. The spaghetti westerns are good and I love the soundtracks.
In the Maps Of Meanings lectures by JP he brings some interesting points about AI up. He says that one of the key problems isn't what should the AI pay attention too, but what it should ignore. Ultimately we ignore more than take in while doing something because we focus on the task we're doing.
Even if the neural net makes decisions that are hard to follow the AI would be configured to try and accomplish a certain task so they could work back based on the criteria to figure out what the problem is. You can't just say the system found an issue but not be able to know why the system found the problem. The system is useless without the reasoning behind the decision.
Note - I work in IT, that's why I'm interested in machine logic. AI isn't some magical answer, it's a managed system and the rules behind it are either understood or useless because it's ultimately a tool. Not some conscience entity making its own decisions.
Sam Harris was actively against Islam. Judaism gets wrapped up into Christianity or the Abrahamic religions to keep people from getting called anti-semitic.
The wave of athiesm was I believe a multi part shift. The first part was that society had changed a lot and a lot of people didn't go to church. I won't go into specifics but really the times just changed and religion took a step back.
This is where the big athiest names came in. They wrote books, did lectures, and pushed people towards logic and science. Eventually science became the entertainment style of science like Bill Nye or NDT that was more about confirming pre-conceived notions instead of the rigorous and boring testing no one likes.
Then the LGBT groups showed up. This is what I recall of athiesm years ago. It started out with some kids get kicked from there house and need assistance to a full on takeover by lgbt and it was changed to athiesm+. The only central tenet of athiesm is not believing so I think they were an easy group for the woke crowd to take over since there's nothing binding them there and they could just leave to do something else.
I don't believe isn't a hill to die on or a philosophy that makes a coherent group. I think it's better to say that athiesm is a frame of mind and any movement was more about politics and power than anything else.
She has stated multiple times that right-wing smear campaigns have prompted death threats against her.
I love how they conveniently forget that AOC was part of a group that messed with the Trump campaign and she cheered it on.
IIRC Jordan's name first became well known when he refused to use gender pronouns. I believe his argument was that it was compelled speech. Unlike most people he was able to articulate his thoughts extremely well and in turn teach others. This is what I think people really hate about him. He's giving good self help advice, peacefully opposing the woke mob, and refusing to back down.
If you haven't ever listened to it yet I suggest downloading Maps of Meaning. You can use a youtbue converter to easily get it. It's an interesting class he teaches covering all sorts of aspect of society and story telling.
I went through this when I sold my collection of systems. Turns out CD's like Sega CD and Sega Saturn only have a 10+ year life span. Most cartridge games have a life span of a few decades but I was surprised how many Atari and Nintendo carts stopped working after sitting on a shelf for years. Most of them in good plastic cases too.
Your best bet is to build a small PC for your TV, invest in some proper controllers whether you want arcade or console, and get the games you want on an emulator. Emulators can also cleanup some of the problems with running old games on new TV's. N64 games are sometimes awful and blocky looking on new TV's. Sprites from old 16 bit games can look bad too but the emulators can clean it up a bit and make it look better.
Trump used the Impoundment of Control Act of 1974 to red line parts of the bill and has requested they be removed.
I have never heard of this before and was surprised he pulled this out of nowhere. Apparently line item veto's were labeled unconstitutional at some point so this is his attempt to deal with the bill while getting checks to everyone. I'm curious how this will play out.
I've had nasty arguments with people I know that work waitress jobs. They feel entititled to the customer paying the hidden fees of their wages instead of demanding their employer pay it. If they work at a good restaurant tips can bump your pay up significantly so of course they want to keep it all.
The thing waitresses miss in all of this is that they're just a face for the product made by other people. It's the same with sales and commission. They're ignoring the hard work of others to claim they deserve the extra wages because the carried a tray, filled some drinks, and spend their smoke breaks complaining about awful customers.
I grew up during the years that Kurt was alive and popular. Kids worshiped Kurt like he was the next Jesus. But the reality is that he was a junkie who got swept up in the popular music of the day. Had Kurt of not died he would of turned out like all the other 90's artists; old, irrelevant, and joining popular causes to try and keep a paycheck coming in.
I know people want there to be an alternative answer so Kurt wasn't a screw up. But that's just not the case. The guy was a junkie who wrote crappy music for depressed teenagers. Sadly too many of those teenagers never moved on with their life and became dysfunctional adults who pine for their youth instead of building something more with their lives.
The bill would set aside $5 billion in federal funding that would then be given to states and local governments in the form of grants.
There it is. The stimulus money the Dem cities need to cover for their losses by shutting down.
Trump's team is now separate from her so they will be tackling election fraud via the constitutional issues standpoint.
It's my understanding that Sidney was never a part of the Trump team and she's an outsider who's considered the "criminal lawyer". All of her cases are for criminal court. Lin Wood is a constitutional lawyer and Rudy was one of the men who brought down the mob. Those 2 are focused on constitutional cases with the end goal of making it to SCOTUS. Between the 3 of them they've dropped a lot of bread crumbs so I'm waiting patiently to see if they follow through. I'm also curious about what the kraken is because it's apparently already been released.
For those of you who never looked it up blackboxvoting.org has been arguing about insecure elections since 2003. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum there's no reason a 3rd party should be counting our votes and there's no reason the chain of custody should of been so insecure. For those of you who don't remember - Philly voting software stolen 10-01-2020.
You should add FF7 to that list of dead IP's. FF7 remake was as empty as destiny and it's sole purpose was to ride the coat tails of an almost 30yr old game to make some nostalgia bucks. The original is still fun albeit the graphics are pretty out dated.
Before anyone asks - I platinumed FF7 part 1 because I've wanted to play a modern version for a long time. The best way I can describe it is; the game couldn't decide if it wanted to be an action game or rpg. So it decided to be a movie. Instead of letting us explore Midgar they created thin stretches of map to walk/listen to npc's, and to crawl between things so they could hide the loading screens.
A few people have already mentioned Synology. They're solid for the price.
You asked about remote access. You'll want to buy a router that supports a VPN for remote access. It really depends on how comfortable you are with IT work. You can buy a linksys/dlink/whatever for cheap that will have VPN software to install. Since you most likely don't have a static IP you'll need to use DYNDNS.
The tax would be paid for by employers and the income generated would be paid to people who cannot work from home.
This is another transference of wealth just like the ACA. That alone makes it a bad idea. The job you work, the skills you teach yourself, are all personal decisions so if you're working from home or not is the end result of your life's decisions. The government is not here to compensate for your decisions.
The other issue here is that they're mistakenly believing people who go to work are paying into the system. As an example I ride a bicycle to work and eat lunch at home. It's very rare for me to not eat at home even after work. In this scenario I would be one of the employees who gets the benefits from being at work but I don't pay into the system the way they pretend workers do. That's not even mentioning the fact that people choose to live different distances from work. So the closer you are the more beneficial it would be for you. But again, all of this is a matter of personal choice and the government shouldn't be taxing your choices on what skills you choose to learn and where you choose to live in relation to where you work.
Not just the state media. SNL had plenty of skits lined up to mock Trump. Much like Covid everyone seems to have ads and shows ready.
It's looking more and more like fraud. I'm trying to stay in the middle on this one but for those of you out of the loop groups like black box voter have been fighting machine voting issues for years (https://blackboxvoting.org). There was a few people running for president over the years who put them in the spotlight but no one big enough ever backed them when we needed it.
This list right here is the best one I've seen so far from a news agency. Between kicking out poll watchers, ballots for only biden showing up at late hours, no down ballot votes, Scalia orders in PA being ignored to separate ballots, and the handful of video/audio floating around of people doing illegal things like marking ballots or telling people ways to break the rules.
I'm not even mentioning the sheer energy from the trump camp to bring out a huge 70 million voters against Joe's shutting down shop at 10am every morning. This is all very fucky and I can't wait to see the audit and recounts. I also work in IT and am very interested in the dominion machine "glitches" which all seem to go one way.
I cant attest to black owned businesses in liberal areas but I can tell you in my rural area we only have a couple of restaurants in town. With the exception of fast food restaurants every one of them is up for sale.
Even though things are open around here everyone realized how nice and cheap it is to eat at home more. I don't think the food services infrastructure we have in the US will survive through next year. I believe that a lot of small businesses will fail after stimulus is over. Add to the fact that a lot of people didn't pay taxes on their unemployment and I think starting in spring of next year the economy will take a nasty hit as people who relied on tax returns will get nothing.
Claims to be a man.Tells management she's pregnants. Continues using mens bathroom to the disgust of actual men. Gets paid leave 2 separate times....
.... Why is everyone treating me like a man not pulling their weight? Why am I expected to do warehouse work while in a warehouse job? Don't you see I have a condition, I'm pregnant!
The link didn't load for me so I didn't see the full list. Was the Sealab episode about Affirmative Action included? Or is Dr Quinn the wakanda of sealab and can't be touched?
There are some good ones here I want to comment on
The guy who got told he was priviledged over sushi he was paying for. I went through a horrible date similar to this and ended up walking up front, having them put my order in a to go box, paying, and then telling the girl I was leaving and just left. She was left to pay for her own food. Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses.
Ben Affleck and the islamaphobia scream. That was a truly bizarre one. A rich elitist yelling at an athiest about how he's racist for disagreeing with a religion. I didn't know it then but clown world was kicking up to 11 and beyond at that point.
The girl who mentions her femist mom told her about abortions, sex life, etc. I used to hang out at a friends aunt's house and that description hits home. They were some old hippies who welcomed everyone and allowed the kids to do some stuff that as an adult I would be calling the cops for. Their daughter got knocked up around 19-20. Abandon her kid with them until it was about 6, then took the kid back. No one in that house hold finds this to be a problem. I think that people with shaky morals do bad things, then justify there kids doing the same. If they did anything else then they'd have to realize they were the source of their kids being shitty. Just sucks because the girl in that post understood how bad her mom was.
