Old, new?

Oops, sorry, missed your saying kinda old.

Boxy/angular could be 70's.

I think the Mustang idea because of taillights makes most sense.

Hahaha, you're so full of shit your eyes are brown.

All companies with more than a handful of employees, have HR. It's a legal issue for them.

Salary vs hourly really has fuck all to do with this.

Good HR people are there to protect the company, yes, but they're also there to protect the employees.

Their primary responsibility is to protect the company, protecting employees only matters in the context of protecting the company.

Didn't bother reading the rest, because you're already bullshitting.

Even the ones built before can have some bullshit. But I'm with you.

Had to replace a totalled, paid off car in 2019...best value was a 2016. Fortunately (to quote Monty Python) "it's not got much spam in it!". It already has a couple minor glitches with the "cool" features, like the stupid keyless system.

I will happily pay thousands to fix what's wrong on my early 2000's vehicle, just so I don't have to get all that BS.

Hahaha, oh boy, that's rich!

Another ATT/VMware type fight.

Why the hell would I want to:

  1. Use that garbage called discord

  2. Use corporate spyware like shitcord?

  3. Give all this local gossip detail a place online

  4. Let alone in spyware garbage like shitcord?

Did I forget to mention what utter shit discord is?

Have you never used NextDoor? Ffs, people are such gossipy ignoramuses on an app like that, why would I bother?

I wonder if maybe some kind of notification system for her, and you, would be useful (in addition to blocking).

Then maybe you can interrupt her, perhaps talk about it, or setup some tools for her to use to help manage stuff and learn along the way.

Guess what I'm going for is the learning/growth angle, rather than just automatic constraints (which hy themselves don't teach or help us learn to manage this stuff ourselves).

Seems like there's a need for all this for all kids, not just neuro-atypical.

Ah, OK.

Yea, not sure if these units can yet support expansion of a data set.

BTRFS and ZFS technically have the capability (from what I recall) in the latest versions, the question is does the device you're looking at support the capability? I haven't looked into enough of them to know for sure.

That said, my ancient Drobo can do this, but... It will only see the new size once you upgrade all the drives. It will resilver with a new larger drive but until all drives are upgraded it won't use the extra drive space of an added larger drive.

(And yes, Drobo is garbage, this one was free, I had some spare drives and I use it as a third local storage device, kind of a spare I don't really trust).

Oh, cool, that's slick. I didn't know this existed!

Your "job" isn't to "change" anyone's view - and a real pastor would know this.

Change is an individual thing, and a "real" pastor would be appalled at your idea of the implication of denying individuality by thinking you can make another person change.

Your job is to help people examine the world, examine themselves, and gain understanding, so they can determine for themselves what change needs to take place.

Thinking you can make others change (and thinking that the change you choose is the "correct" one) is the height of hubris, and offensive to the very concept of personhood.

Pastor my ass. Nothing more than a sophist.

By supporting networking (and also using a mesh to increase range).

As I understand "walkie talkie" radios, the spectrum they use (GMRS/FRS/CB/MURS, etc) isn't permitted to transmit data in a way that's useful for proper data networking (there's some allowance for data but not really anything like what most people think of as networking, and encryption is right out of the question).

For the most part, these radio specs can only increase range by use of repeaters. IIRC meshtastic takes a mesh approach to increasing range and reliability.
