> Like most people, I’ve had my identity stolen once or twice in my life.

Is there a term for this deceitful language tactic? “Everybody knows that…” “It’s obvious that…” I think this one aggravates me the most because I feel targeted and lumped in with a group I’ve put effort into not being a part of.

Just as an aside, you can put as much effort as you want in, there is no guarantee.

My identity was stolen to take out large student loans when I was 3 years old. I learned of it when I was graduated and was trying to take out loans of my own - it was a mess.

I certainly didn't do anything risky as a baby to result in my identity being stolen but it happened anyway.

Great episode, but infuriating at the same time

There are also SNRIs, which don't have the sexual side effects. I've done mostly SSRIs but in the last few years I've been on an SNRI called Pristiq and it's the best by far.

YMMV for sure - I was on an SNRI (Cymbalta) for a few months as an attempt to eliminate nerve pain. It all but destroyed my ability to climax both during and for maybe 6 months after getting off of it.

The brain zaps were also hell if I was even like an hour later than usual to take it

I have them on my dogs' collars, because squirrels exist.

Cats collars here, as an insurance measure if they were ever to sneak outside. They're also handy to locate them around the house for various reasons.

AirTag itself doesn't have GPS, of course. It depends on the devices that communicate with the AirTag having precise location. IF you have a phone in Russia, are your maps apps off by 50km these days?
somehnguy · 15 days ago
I would assume the inaccuracy is due to the various phones that pick up the airtag pings GPS being jammed, reporting AirTags nowhere near where they actually are.

Why? Are you worried from a liberty/privacy standpoint? "Smart" EV's are demonstrated to be significantly safer than "dumb" EVs. Waymo’s 2025/2026 data shows an 80–90% reduction in injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers in the same cities. [1, 2, 3, 4]

I've noticed this company also has coax modems. I wonder if they will work better than MOCA adapters. I've tried MOCA at my house and the quality of the signal is not good, connection keeps dropping every 10-15 minutes for no apparent reason...
somehnguy · 17 days ago
You may have had filters on your lines or just really poor quality connections/cables. I’ve been using MoCA in my home to bring internet up from my basement to the second floor for a few years and it’s been flawless. Consistent 1gbps, no drops, 1-2ms extra latency compared to Ethernet wired devices.

It's OpEx. MBAs will pour unlimited money into OpEx to avoid CapEx.
somehnguy · a month ago
Clearly I don't have an MBA because this mindset doesn't make sense to me. Burning money unnecessarily is burning money unnecessarily, no matter where it's burned.

I'm afraid to see just how poorly we can utilize computing resources in the future due to cluelessness.
