  • They opened one in Panama City Beach years ago. It’s actually a decent place to bring younger kids if you have them or are hanging out with your nieces/nephews. All kinds of random things at the time.

    I’m sure it’s all cheap junk but if you are hanging out and want to find them some quick entertainment they have cheap pool floats/ beach stuff, marker/drawing/coloring sets, TShirts, little plush stuffed animals of things like Lilo and stitch, small Lego sets, sports balls, backyard games and even some shitty headphones and such.

    Can find some activities for them for the weekend and they have fun looking around while you don’t have to worry about it being expensive like if you bought a toy at Target or something.

    For us it was usually things like little water guns, water balloons with fillers and big notepads and colored pencils as the kids were 4-12 years old and they loved going there. Not sure how they’ll survive the tariffs though.



  • The documents often aren’t fake, otherwise they wouldn’t be getting tracked down by their names. Many come to the U.S. on a student visa or work visa or such. And the student gets a job while working to pay for food/life while they are here. When they are done with school or drop out, they are still working. Which makes them now an illegal immigrant, but they still want food the next day, they already have a residence they were staying at and a job they were working, and the taxes they were paying into. They just can’t collect social security and such because they can’t submit paperwork and such when they are no longer legally here.

    For instance Musk moved to the U.S. around 1992, on a student Visa. He did not become a Citizen until 2002. Yet he sold his company to eBay in 2002 (established in 1995). His Visa would have been long expired as he stopped going to school in 1997 supposedly. So 5 out of the 7 years he established growing his company within the U.S. he would have been considered an illegal immigrant. This is something he admitted to on broadcasts before.

    Our records show the majority of immigrants who come into the U.S. become illegal after their Visa’s or other legal entry methods expire. What they are doing now is systematically reducing the population that currently pays taxes and reducing our workforce while tariffing other countries which will reduce imports overall by making them more costly. Every part of it appears to want to shrink/halt the economic growth of the U.S. The alternative reasons could be that they are anti capitalism, or simply just don’t like people who are different.




  • I haven’t ever been afraid of those things, I see more likely scenarios of them having it disable the O2 sensor to cause the check engine light to come on and depending on the vehicle cause sputtering and other “serious issue signs.” To convince drivers to take it in for repair. Then just re-enable or replace the sensor for dealers to make a quick hefty buck.

    You can steer someone’s car once and when it hits the news people would freak out and the companies stock would crash. You can send 500,000 people to the shop for a sensor malfunction and charge them $200 to repair it make an extra $100,000,000 and fly under the radar pretty easily I imagine. It would be hard to prove that “reseating” the old sensors cable didn’t infact fix the issue


  • Isn’t that the same one we found out that most of the data being recorded wasn’t from the cars but data that the sales/maintenance workers were allowed to record when you were at the dealership and they manufactures/dealers could legally sell it do to the contracts. It’s horrible that they do it, but the cars weren’t tracking your sex life, and trying to figure out if you were a lesbian, or if you were even male/female. The dealership was just able to mark information like that down and sell it.

    It’s one more reason buying cars direct from the manufacturer for those who choose to should be allowed and not banned by law like states such as Florida have done. We don’t need more middlemen between producer and consumer. It usually only raises prices and creates more privacy issues.



  • If you ever end up watching Andor, they explain more of how the empire mines entire planets to collapse acquiring minerals they need, destabilizes galactic views of planets to ensure resistance would be minimalized. It also goes into how the weakness in the DeathStar was created and how some engineers were essentially enslaved/forced into to building it. Believe they gun down most of the lead engineers in Rogue One.

    Edit: light speed is really one of the only non-defined technologys I find. But they have tractors everywhere, so I assume the point is with mass amounts of energy… You can do near anything

    (I meant reactors, but tractors are pretty funny so I’m leaving it)

    I was never one to analyze dreams but I thought it was comical a couple weeks ago I told someone I have repetitive dreams where I am just hanging out in an empty parking garage at night. Just grey cement, don’t really know what floor it’s on, not the bottom, not the top. Throwing a ball around with a couple people I don’t know or can’t even see. The ball rolls down the ramps when someone doesn’t catch it and we spend most of our time running back down to fetch them. At no point in time am I ever trying to change what’s going on, the conversations are just blurs of nothing worth noting. Yet I still don’t want the dream to end and have to get up so I keep pushing it forward.

    Not till they mentioned that interprets to feeling worried/ stressed, stuck, and unmotivated did I ever consider, well yeah… Of course that’s what that means. I haven’t had that dream since, but it was comical to take something I was blatantly ignoring and putting words to it.

    Not saying any of it has real merit, just conversing


  • I wonder if that has to do with them trying to integrate access for zero client type setups. If 20 people are remoted into a VM setup but they all are coming from the same rack, the IP/Hostname would be the same in theory, so if you try to RDP to it, the protocol doesn’t work properly, it would want to kick all the other users off their instances to let them sign in. Been a bit since I’ve had tonl manage virtual instances though, so maybe I’m forgetting something.


  • Am I reading that wrong or is it just saying the Windows Store version (which was terrible) is going away. It tells you to use the normal remote desktop function that has existed in Windows until they put that new stupidly named app in the Store.

    So if you run rdp.exe (can’t tell if that’s actually mstsc.exe now) it should function as normal.

    People should just be able to create their RDP shortcuts as normal and go on with their day by simply ignoring the Microsoft store like most enterprise users have been trying to do all along.

    Though I could be wrong, I don’t have a windows computer around me to try it on at the moment. I moved my machines at home to different flavors of Linux when I didn’t want to figure out comparability work around for 11




  • Honestly I don’t know what Id ever use them for. A guy set up a corn field/deer hunting spot on a spot behind my partners family with motion cameras and such. He had a drone that either he rigged up or bought with an IR camera on it. Dude would fly over the area and check how many deer and where they were before going hunting I guess. It’s not even “fair.”. You can spot the deer easily and they have no idea you were ever there. I remember seeing several photos/videos where he was tracking them. At a certain point you have to feel like it’s just overkill. Although if he was using as much of the meat as he could I guess it’s still better than what we do to cows and such
