As a great though experiment start to write to yourself from there and then take on the personality of that person and respond.
What would they say to you? Obviously things go wrong in every universe so how does that alternate universe you mentally frame issues. What decisions do they make when faced with choice.

So as the title says, I run a homelab with various technologies — Proxmox, Home Assistant, a reverse proxy, lots of Ubiquiti equipment, and so on. Over the years I’ve consumed countless hours of articles, stack overflow posts, youtube channels, and knowledge bases to keep myself up to speed on how to use this equipment and...
“I’ve noticed that the Apple equipment has far less documentation on the whole.” Since the ios/macOS are closed source it’s falls more on Apple to provide documentation. Most of the good Apple resources are the programming references(developer.apple.com).
Signing up as an Apple developer is a good way to get access to lots of information on ios/mac specific items. Most of home lab type stuff is going to be an adaptation of a 'nix process.
It’s frustrating since the programming references aren’t really great resources on how to do something though the UI. You have to figure out how the functionality you want is exposed.
First off, I don’t base my views on “what Americans are like” with what people post online. Just about everyone I know personally has just gone off the deep end it seems....

This could be the start of something good. The 40% number isn’t out of thin air. It is the amount the CEO got his pay raised to . Unions can tie exec raises to worker pay in a way that boards aren’t doing.
True, but unions as an external force can simply state the exec total pay package rose by 25% in value. “pay us” The problem has been looking to the boards installed by investors to cut their own pay. My hope is boards will cool down on huge exec bonuses if it means they may have to do the same for workers.
Feels like a dumb question, but I haven’t ever worn a pair of boots that didn’t hurt in some way. Is this just a feature of boots, or am I doing something wrong?
Get boots made for construction workers. They are on their feet and in boots all day. I got a pair of redwings a few decades ago and they were my daily walking shoes until I got a car.

It’s a total lack of the concept of scale. I’ve moved servers like this, but when decommissioning them. Things are different when running a corporate data center than when moving a home lab. He doesn’t grasp the difference, because he doesn’t understand the scale.
Running and moving one computer is different from 150k of them. Hooking them back up the the network without a plan or documentation must have been a challenge.

When questioning your intentions as arrogant, entitled, immature vs confident, moral right, correctness. Or even questioning if the Duning Kruger effect is at play....
Depends on the person or the medicine. So your results may vary. Basically anti-depressants for me lessen the impact of depression. So when the idea pops into your head that that is negative or self doubting it’s easier to reflect and evaluate if that thought is correct or not. As well it helps with break negativity chains where something goes wrong and a bad mood continues for several events. That is a confidence killer.
This is going to absolutely devastate Florida. They need as many people as possible to do work, simply not enough workers live in Florida to rebuild it after a massive weather event. Anything that prevent workers from entering Florida means anyone working in Florida can charge more.
This may actually sink Desantas as a presidential candidate. There are more storms on the way. a slightly damaged house can become unlivable if subsequent events.
There is strong gerrymandering going on there. That form of vitoing ensures the most extreme rise to the top since the other views never have enough votes to tip an election.
Even then there was a lot of ‘off book’ work done by people who could do the job. Basically smaller jobs there would be easily knocked out, and less profitable have to wait for an official company to acknowledge them or just get someone. Small damages can become big problems if not fixed before the next storm.
I love how Russia public military success plan involves the US getting bored of funneling money to defense contractors without any US or US contractor loss of life.
I bet Trump thinks about them a bit. Every day Trump isn’t in the White House he is reminded that they are failures. Zero surprise if they never get parole if Trump makes the WH.
Unfortunately Russia needs to be broken. There was an uneasy acceptance of the 2014 annexation of lands. That was simply used as a launching off point for the current campaign.
There is no way to let them save face and nothing other than a full defeat can be trusted. At this point the wars in the main territory are only to hold on to Crimea and keep the fighting from the last warm water port for the Russian navy.
More than an embarrassment it would be a real and severe blow to the future of Russia for decades to centuries. Once the port falls, there will be no reason at all for Russia to care for Crimea.
This is even a bigger fuck up than it appears. Putin owns the biggest military failure since Germany invaded Russia.
All Putin had to do is put up a beach front villa in Crimea, trade with Europe and enjoy the ill-gotten gains of 2014. The western world would have accepted him with open arms. There is no victory to be won, only lesser losses to be groped at.
Having seen this happen before, I believed that once. Russia is going to break into pieces that will be seized by the most corrupt. The people of Russia just want a comfortable life and will follow the leader that gives them the closest approximation of that.
Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something?

People always judge personal waste as something they don’t enjoy. It’s fun to hate on people who enjoy things.
I have never went but the people I know who go have been going so long that their kids are bringing their kids. It sounds like a great community event where most of the point is to meet the people who go there.
The desert is usually a good place to host a mass event since it is a flat large area. By definition rain is rare in a desert.
This creates an incentive to let high earners:wealthy people :off the hook for jail time since they will have to earn money to pay for the support. This of course won’t apply to lower earners which will go to jail.
The crux of the issue is they think they won’t hurt anyone. They give 0 thought to the idea they would hurt some. That’s how this happens. Any person who thinks they might hurt someone won’t drive. They gain false confidence by drive many times without incident.
I don’t think a single drink drive ever considered that they would hurt some or get hurt.
I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment....
Basically the holy trinity is the idea that Jesus,God and the Holy Spirit are all aspects of the same being. They are not independent of each other.
In Lovecraftian terms the full extent of God is an eldritch being is so incomprehensible that it would break mortals if he appears directly to them. Jesus and the Holy spirit are two ways that god can interact with mortals without them, or the universe, breaking. They are not lesser separate gods .
It’s very inline with the church’s teaching to pay taxes.
Mark 12:17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and give to God the things that are God’s.” The men were amazed at what Jesus said.
There is no religious conflict at all with taxing churches.
The concepts of racism was quite different then as to now and was addressed. Basically the story of the 'Good Samaritan" needed to add the ‘good’ because Samaritans were discriminated against and though of as poorly as racists do today.
Homophobia is basically covered in a bunch of places where in general you are supposed to love and treat people well. Jesus gave MANY examples of directly treating people who were not in good social, or religious, graces with kindness,openness and compassion. Basically the worse someone is the more you have to try and show love. I’m not sure at all how basically the complete opposite is the practice. There is some epic level mental gymnastics to get there.
Now slavery, umm… yeah. God was like , here are some rules on how to treat your slaves. You know because that is a thing and should keep being one. I’m glad this one is opposite in practice.
Ever have a dog? You really love the dog and the dog is smart for a dog, but no matter how hard you train them they won’t really understand you. You can get them to follow a few rules , but after a certain point you can’t really train them much more.
People can’t even handle the few very basic messages that were already laid out.
This is in a thread about a sect of Christianity. I am not aware of another religion that uses the word church. The dictionary definition is christian house of worship. Jewish Synagogue. Islamic Mosque. Hindu Temple. Norse Hof. Greek and Roman temples.
Talking about taxing churches is about a tax on Christian houses of worship. There is no Christian religious rule against it, which means that it would be a stretch for anyone to claim that the government is violating the first amendment.
Without a real sill and a slope on the outside your going to have water intrusion. Add a gutter/diverter above the door on the roof. Remove all the sealer you can. Use waterproof concrete sealer/paint on the slab. Fill every gap you can with silicone. Shave down the slab with an angle grinder to add some kind of slope.
If the concrete applier ‘forgot’ to add a slope to the outside see if they will help with the remedy.
I just got a DIY kit quote for solar and it’s ~$18,000. That would mean a contractor installing is at least $25,000 if not more. That’s a big chunk of change upfront.
