Well, we successfully shifted all the wealth my generation will ever create over to ultra-rich Defense contractors.

Translated : I don’t know shit, so you can’t know shit. Corporations are gouging my shit, and I mad at Democrats for it.

You got a solution, or anything new to add to the conversation? Or are you just going to whine like everyone else?

Cause frankly, I don’t have a fix for this. At least not one that is overly authoritarian, like controlling every piece of media that is available to children, and creating a guide for what characteristics of different role models should be emulated, and what should be avoided.

Maybe at a certain point, it is up to the individual to form their own set of desirable positive characteristics and seek to incorporate those traits into themselves. We can’t (or really shouldn’t) just thought and content police everything for every child. They have growth and developement that the must do for themselves, no one else can do it for them.

I really have no idea how we fix that on the internet. I guess volunteer for big brothers/big sisters if you can.

Maybe young men should build a role-model construct of good qualities they see rather than idolize a single patriarchal figure and seek to emulate them, including their flaws.

Speaking as someone who was fortunate to have a decent dad, and a decent step dad, who were radically different.

Probably a bit of both to be honest. Thanks for clarifying.

This is the way. Although, to clarify, you should assign static IPs on your DHCP server, which for most SOHO networks, that’s going to be your router.

If you assign statics on your hosts, your DHCP server will assign them the preferred address if available, but if it’s already assigned then the DHCP server is going to give your device the middle finger and assign them whatever the fuck it wants.

Are you assigning the static address on your pi, or are you assigning a static address on the router?

Yes. I use it for my PiHole and Wireguard VPN.

No issues with mine, but I have a standard trans. Electric motors in hybrids/EVs are practically zero maintenance, and they reduce the peak stress on the ICE, so you extend the life of your conventional power train components. Regenerative braking also majorly extends the life of your braking components.

Eh, my brother has owned a Tesla Model 3 for a few years now. He’s had fewer trips to the service center than my partner, who got a new 2021 Civic.

What an intelligent and nuanced opinion you have. Most of the drivers in the US drive less than an hour a day for their commute. (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/one-way-travel-time-to-work-rises.html) Even if they jumped straight on the highway at 70mph, they’d still have 2 or 3 days before they would need to recharge. Not to mention that most of the time I average about 35mph on my mixed driving commute, the real distance most people drive is much less than that generous estimate. Charging overnight off a regular wall outlet will easily replenish those miles as well.

As for paying taxes to build roads, as a hybrid owner in my state, I actually pay more per mile than almost every other vehicle type. I pay more than my share for the roads.

Try thinking a little bit before you assume that your outdated dinosaur ways are the future for everyone.
