Yeah worker owned businesses are lit. As are communes.

Books without Dinosaurs are communist propaganda and should be removed from shelves! Also Dinosaurs are Satanic propaganda and books featuring them should be removed from shelves! /S

AES is a solid symmetric encryption standard. I support the use of it. However I think you might be referring to something else?

Who cares if they are trans? The more interesting question is what would make women generally more likely to self host? More free time? Different applications? Actually having a job in IT? Being single?

Depending on your general philosophy, and how you value various issues, anything could be a selling point to someone. It's hardly a lost plot, a lot of people value the great equalizer. "God made man, Samuel Colt made man equal" -dunno who said it

Why do you assume people are meeting on dating apps? I met my spouse in VR chat, and a few others I've had relationships with I met as mutuals on a Discord server... Online isn't necessarily Tinder

They do, it's not cheap, like $50

I'll take better over perfect especially since better is on the ballot as an option this year for me, but who knows might try to get approval voting on the ballot for next time

My instance is pretty fast. Run Conduwuit as the server, problem solved

Well in Florida open Cary is illegal unless engaging in lawful hunting and fishing activities. Lots of little caveats like that all over the US

I'm very much onboard with this. Idk if I'd say it's the libraries job though, I think it should be at the city level for community instances.

conduwuit, a matrix home server it is so much faster and works so much better than the Dendriter server it replaced.

It's been a thing for quite a while. I want to say about 10 years ago I was watching a bunch of off grid YouTube videos and more than a couple people turned their cars into short range EVs.

More recently I've seen a few videos from a professional shop in Cali that does it for classic cars, also you have Jerry Rig Everything converting a Humvee.

It's been a thing and will probably end up being more and more common

You aren't, it's a bit less than a tenth

Yes rates are used most of the time in forms of address. However you do have a rank, for example E-5 or Petty Officer Second Class. However when addressing enlisted you'd usually say something like CTM2, IT2 etc... Until you hit chief then you are just called Chief, or senior if you are a Senior Chief, Master Chief doesn't get abbreviated to Master for obvious reasons, and MCPON is usually referred to as "mic pon" phonetically for Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy.

Pikes Peak is a 14 thousand foot tall mountain in Colorado. It's one of the most iconic mountains of the US, and is sometimes referred to as Americas Mountain. However if you go north about 75 miles from pikes peak you are at Denver which usually makes simplified maps like this one, Pikes Peak is rarely noted on maps

I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn't enough print money in existence to pay them back.

So, veteran here. I've tried to talk people out of joining the military or at least trying to avoid jobs with high probability of seeing combat. Usually the result is they just start prying about what combat is like and make statements about how much they want to experience it.

Another tack I haven't tried but it might be more effective, is to describe how miserable it is to have the stench of a burn pit wafting over you, always wondering if the distant gunfire will move in your direction, being stuck manning a 24/7 watch where if even one person who can do that job dies or is otherwise incapacitated you will be stuck doing 12hr shifts instead of 8. Then you get back home and have to fight tooth and nail for benefits from the country that fucked your life up in the first place.

War is hell, coming home is hell, forcing that on someone can only be justified if they are literally at home fighting off an invading force.

Some apartments double nat

Shut up and take my money
