  • From what I heard there is already language that explains exactly what to do and that is if it fails then the fallback is electric chair. Of course her lawyers will fight it for the next 20 years, and even crazier if somehow they win. My guess is she dies naturally in jail before whatever next attempt gets finalized and I am ok with that.

    So my opinion is, no she should not be freed and just be kept in jail for the remainder of her life.


  • “Nomad said that most of the suspicious traffic didn’t escape the network. He has a hypothesis that the unit was simply affected by a bug. Nomad said he has over 10 years of experience in IT and works as a Technical Field and Community Specialist at the 3D printer manufacturer Prusa.”

    Absolutely what I thought. I love how everyone assumed it was hacked… In the 20 years I have been at my job we have had a particular model of desk phone that it happened to twice and when it did it creates a network storm and tanks your entire network (at the time this company did not have proper vlans in place which would have mitigated the issue). You trace it to the device and reboot it and everything is fine again. The phones were still replaced just in case, but that was always one of the wilder ones here. My guess is this was something similar and since it’s his older parents they probably didnt even notice the network being bogged down.

    “After rebooting the device and reconnecting it to a segregated virtual LAN (VLAN), the issue did not reappear.”

    Why even bother? Is it actually required to have an internet connection? If so get rid of it, thats so dumb and intrusive… and if not just turn off wifi on it, why even leave it on at all.


  • This is so weird… I wonder if she woke up wondering if this is real since I feel like it would make no sense to her. Also that part about her being a survivor, come on really? I feel bad for how her childhood was, and that the other 2 got less of a sentance than her, but do I feel sorry for her or think of her as a victim? Nah not really. From what I read she will most likely get electicution, but there will be years of more fighting now and my guess is she just gets life since I think she will die naturally in jail before that next attempt ever happens.

    If anything I feel bad for the family of the actual victim who sees all this and also see people showing Pike more sympathy over it. Meanwhile I remember hearing of 2 cases in the last year that were executions for innocent people that were not allowed to be reversed and ended up dying, those are the ones I really feel sorry for.


  • I put off buy new hard drives for my NAS. I have an 8 bay and slowly filled it over the years with 6tb drives since they were about $200 at that time. Now that I ran out of that space I started replacing the 6tb one by one with 12tb which at the time was around $200 as well. Ive needed a new HD for years now but couldnt really afford it, but now I really need a new one and I REALLY can’t afford it… this hobby is essentially dead at these prices. Ill continue to purge data and hope in a few years some miracle happens and prices drop again. I also hope these current drives hold out without issues…





  • Or to setup local locations of apartments where you can easily be approved and be able to move out from that awful lifestyle for up to 6 months rent free, but at the end you need to pay it all back with a significant amount of interest layed on top and the amount was already significantly more just to take advantage of people who just need to leave. Pay it all with the sale of the house or with a monthly plan kinda like school loans. 1 bonus is those 6 months your living surrounded by other divorced people so you all have stuff in common!


  • I have a friend now who does this. He gets so angry about it as well and since I know him best he always vents to me and says why do we always change things. He eventually apologizes and expresses he just cant handle it.

    The worst one was last year we were taking 2 cars with 6 friends to a place for a weekend. Original plan was that i was going to pick him up and 1 other person thats near him and go up. Then our 2nd friend who was driving got out early so we could all go and i said in the chat sweet can you get the 2 near him and ill now get the other 2 and we all meet at a place to eat first before driving up. He side text me how wrong it was and why do we always change things until i said in the main chat ill just take the original ppl nevermind lol. It was just more convienent because the orher friend was closer to them and i was closer to the other 2, but even different cars made his mind freak out.


  • Why is this being downvoted so much? I really didnt expect to watch it but I got hooked and thought it was really informative since like many people here I only knew about a lot of the things he did from Obama on. Learning more about the stuff he did through the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s made me even sadder that we let this 1 guy take so much control to make a lot of peoples lives worse. If there was ever a reason needed for why term limits are needed he is that example. What a disgusting awful person.



  • The difference is the rice cooker doesnt have metal parts launching upwards creating a very loud distinct sound that already indicates in the room that the toast is done.

    With that said there were some really cool old toasters from like the 1950’s that had self toasting where you put the slices in and it automatically drops down and then rises quietly back up when its done. If that one had a small song I could at least understand that.




  • Not sure, but my experience is when I was a kid my parents told me later on that they couldn’t really afford to get me a console, but they were able to get one for a fraction of the price by buying one off the back of a truck which was a lot more common back then for lower income neighborhoods. Lots of stolen goods sold locally that way as long as you had the hookup. As for games the only thing I remember was in the 90s some of my asian friends had some awesome toys from chinatown. They had this adapter that plugged into the snes and it played games that were on cards which were basically copied roms so you didnt have to buy full games anymore. My mind was blown at the time. Idk about scalpers, but this was what I remember for that market at the time.





  • As someone close enough to 50 this would really freak me out if that was actually a thing. Personally I wouldnt even agree that 50 is that old either. Also what your saying is that basically nobody would have their parents in the later years of their life, hell the way times are changing i know a lot of people who have had kids over 35 so your saying their kids will lose their parents when they are like 10 years old. I still have my grandmother and its still amazing to see my parents, their siblings, and my grandmother which by your question would all be long dead. Also fyi none of them have anything awful health related yet either, hell my 87 year old grandmother still drinks some beers with us when we get together and loves a good IPA or stout.

    Considering my life stopped getting better at 25 and I am in a financial mess right now, i am totally looking forward to retirement and my 60s to enjoy the last years of living and to finally stop working for the first time in my life since ive been 15… im looking forward to that.
