What sane firm would hire anyone who stays on to toe the line being fed out by this Justice Department? She could immediately about face and start supporting victims who have been disappeared…not much money in it but you can sleep at night.

Find out where the larvae are thriving: do you have natural fiber rugs or animal pelts or lots of pet/human hair concentrated anywhere? Is there by any chance horsehair plaster in your house? The larvae feed on keratin (in hair) and the adults leave to find dried veg matter.

lol…asking the judge to hold her in contempt so she could grab a few hours of sleep for a change. For me that would be a sign that I’m not going to work there any longer. She should get out and when they can’t find anyone to argue the government’s side justice will then prevail.

I know, I got a damn spam text asking for donations today. I’m sick and tired of that!

One does not buy pirate hats, one takes them by force! It’s easier than you think - all media is free is you want it and are willing to seize it for your own use.

Yes.

Side note, anyone aware of an instance that prohibits it?

Ok, so…tall person here - as I grew into my 6’4" frame I got progressively wider as well. In my later days (kinda old now) my width has increased unproprtionally to my stagnated growth in height. Damn! You just fat shamed me without meaning to! Uncool, dude!!

We normally don’t gift unless an excellent idea comes up. We were struggling with our ice maker not keeping up (Ice water constantly, cocktails in the evening, etc) and my wife got me a countertop nugget ice maker (chewy ice). It is no good for daily ice water which needs big cubes to melt slowly but I turn that sucker on every day a 3PM and my evening drinks are much improved!

Do you waffle about before taking a slipper to the roach that snuck in under your door-jamb? No, you smash that repugnant shit and scoop it up with a piece of junk mail to toss it in the toilet. That sentient bug is just not food to you. The fact that a lobster is food does not make it a more elevated being.

Yes, they feel every moment until the knife slices their pea-sized nerve center of a brain in half. That took about 1/2 of a second. It’s done and now we can eat.

This is a left/right thing?!! WTF? This just a food thing and if you are left/righting it you are a world-class dolt!

It’s a fucking bug! Boil it and eat the shit already.

I worked at Red Lobster for a number of years as a young’un. A large part of my work in the prep kitchen initially (after I graduated from the dish ring) was to slice live Maine lobs in half to make “princess lobsters” (half a lobster with body cavity stuffed with yummy). These stupid bugs are no more sentient than a cockroach that you smash with a shoe.

Why would anyone spend even a second considering the feelings of a fucking bug?!

“A woman is only fertile during about 5 days each lunar cycle. Unfortunately those days are the most fun but the other 24 are safer.”

Can confirm that these are the best days to get wiggy with it - ask me how I know…kids.

The immigrants are not taking our jobs, we are shedding job roles because the immigrants are no longer around to fill them. This is a self-imposed recession attributable to one orange baboon.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is one big plot hole riddled with plot holes and cheesy-ness to boot but I find it mildly enjoyable (yes, I know it is much panned and generally disliked).

I say yes, in the same way that a folded over NY Slice of pie is a sandwich. Handheld bread containing yummies are sandwiches!

Fair enough, I knew my take wouldn’t be a popular one here. In all fairness if you are using Apple products the iCloud sync brings all of the metadata with the data on every device that accesses it.

While I don’t have any illusions that Apple has my back they do have a lot invested in keeping people’s trust in their ecosystem. The automated on-device CSAM scanning kerfuffle that they backed away from shows that they are sensitive to the threat of people leaving their walled garden.

Another fairly easy to implement local solution that wouldn’t be an admin headache is to put a Mac mini with a bunch of attached storage on the network and use it as a file server. I do that for my PleX.

This will be an unpopular suggestion here but why not just go all in on iCloud? It’s reasonably inexpensive for not data-hoarding amounts of data, reasonably secure and E2E encrypted. Given the low cost, zero setup if they’re already Apple people and lack of admin I think it is ideal for them.

I pay for iCloud storage because I want HomeKit Secure Video cloud storage (I also have a local copy on disk).

I got a really good one years ago, my wife used it to heat up chicken stock to make gumbo. Never again.
