“Cunt” isn’t actually any more egregious in America than Europe. The difference is that here in America, there are just far more cunts to take offense.

Indeed. Systemic problems need systemic solutions.

Home Ownership is the single largest factor affecting poverty rates. We need to drive everyone toward home ownership rather than renting. Renting should only be feasible for small-time landlords who live on one unit of a duplex, triplex, or quadplex. Apartment buildings should be converted to condominiums. Land Contracts (basically rental agreements with fixed monthly rates that automatically convert to mortgages after three years) should replace traditional rental agreements with their annual rent hikes. All that is easily achievable by offering owner-occupant credits to property taxes, then jacking up the tax rate on investment properties beyond a rate where renting could be profitable. With renting generally infeasible, landlords will be pushing tenants to become buyers instead, mostly through tenant-favoring land contracts instead of landlord-favoring rental agreements.

We desperately need universal healthcare replacing our employer-sponsored healthcare standard, including optometry and dental coverage.

Prison reformation: Prisoners need to earn at least minimum wage for their labor. Their spending can be restricted while in prison, and their saved wages released as a monthly or weekly allowance after their release, but their labor needs to lead to economic gains, or we are just creating recidivism.

Universal Basic Income needs to be phased in. We can start with $20/wk for every man, woman, and child in the country, and increase it periodically.

14-24 year old impoverished young men forced to live in urban hellscapes with no legitimate opportunity for economic advancement comprise the bulk of both murderer and murdered.

It’s almost like systematically forcing people into desperation results in profound violence.

But yes, we should try to reduce the bulk of the violence by focusing all our attention on those rare and newsworthy cases where a privileged maniac adds a handful of privileged victims to the massive tally of systemically impoverished victims.

You don’t need a static IP, you just have to keep track of what your current dynamic IP is.

You still need a public IP address. More and more often, IPv4 services are provided behind CGNAT, which won’t be able to work as you describe.

If you don’t have a public IPv4 for your LAN you can use IPv6. Or, you can reverse proxy your services through a gateway with a public IPv4.

I use a a reverse proxy (Pangolin) running on a VPS. A Newt tunnel connects my LAN to to Pangolin, exposing my local services via subdomains.

/edit; vpns are good and all, but they require you to setup software on the remote device to connect to it, and that typically routes most if not all your traffic back to the vpn server then out to the internet. That can create speed/bandwidth issues.

Tailscale, ZeroTier, and other similar services generally establish direct tunnels between devices, without a separate VPN server. They use a central service merely as a sort of common meeting point (STUN/TURN) for the devices to figure out how to establish direct tunnel(s).

What are you trying to accomplish with that?

I’ve got pangolin running on a VPS. It was dead simple.

Don’t forget the military industrial complex! We’ve got 20 years worth of cruise missiles we need to re-stock.

Exactly. A TUI is not a replacement for a GUI where human interaction is essential to the process.

But, very few computer processes require direct human input. The overwhelming majority of individual operations are performed silently in the background. The presence of a TUI in an image modification program allows for certain operations to be performed automatically, in the background, without a human ever needing to be involved. I actually needed to do this, to add what was basically a watermark and a date stamp to a PDF document via an image modification program. Repeated 80-120 times a day, 6 days a week. A TUI allows for the tying together of a half dozen simple operations into a functional system.

TUI. Text User Interface. Command line. Terminal. You interact with the application via the keyboard, rather than a mouse, touchscreen, trackpad, etc.

Well, they’re lawyers, so they’re automatically scumbags. That being said, I don’t think you can judge a generic criminal defense attorney on their choice in clients.

I do think you can judge an attorney on their scope of practice. Copyright trolls are among the worst.

Studies found that charcoal and gastric lavage (stomach pumping) was just as effective at preventing poisoning. The complications of ipecac include aspirating vomit into the trachea. Digestive fluids cause some pretty severe injuries in the lungs.

What?

No, it’s because we have something called “Civil Asset Forfeiture” which basically means that American cops can just stop you for no reason, file a lawsuit against your cash and just take it out of your wallet. If you want it back, you have to declare yourself to be a criminal defendant, and then be found not guilty of the criminal charges against you. If you don’t, they get to keep your money to put in their pension fund.

That’s not from math. That’s from lack of practice. Nobody has used cash in 10 years.

Yeah, the world really didn’t need Stargate: Voyager.

Your wife is your adopted daughter?

Losing or having your wallet stolen should not disenfranchise a voter.

Now I have uncomfortably correlated the concepts of “sexual intercourse” and “cross threading”. I am now scareroused.

Male ducks have corkscrew penises.

Nothing to apologize for! I wish they wouldn’t be cagey about their actual offerings. I’d recommend them more if I didn’t gain anything from doing so.
