  • A much better way of putting my point.

    The fact that someone like him was elevated to the status he was coupled with someone feeling they needed to go as low as killing another human to make things better is insane. I hope American history (as long as America still exists long enough for this to become history) looks back at this like we looked back at other huge events in American history and some 4th grade teacher someday has to try to explain to our great-grandchildren how we let things backslide to this point followed immediately by a chapter on the first presidential debate held entirely virtual with augmented reality and holograms.


  • I can’t say I feel sorry for him, specifically.

    But anyone who can’t agree with the fact that us being here, where a man (whether you agree or not) was shot at a public event for his beliefs and people are celebrating it, is absolutely insane for things to have gotten to this level, needs to do a bit of thinking.

    And I mean that as, whether you think it was his beliefs (which I fully believe are WILD) that led to him being shot because they had no basis in reality and only sowed hate or the guy who shot him was crazy and shot him, we all need to admit, this situation is so far out of normal that I’m not sure there’s a chance to go back.



  • So everyone else has good points but there’s one other part I don’t think was mentioned.

    Most ISPs use a PON based network. This lets them connect one fiber in their network and “split” that to up to 128 (or more, depends on the OEM) customers. You need a either GPON (Gigabit passive optical network) or XGS-PON (10 gigabit symmetrical passive optical network) SFP module and usually the ISP has to get a serial number off of that module to provision the proper data service.

    This is contingent upon the ISP being willing to do that. The one I currently work for, we really don’t do that except for businesses.




  • What about a WiFi connected smart outlet? It can be voice controlled or controlled from a phone or turned on at the outlet. You can set just a “run timer” (from the time I turn it on, run 2.5 hours) without it repeating.

    AND if you need to make sure it’s off at any point, just check your phone.

    TP Link Kasa outlets can run for 23 hours and 59 minutes at a time.










  • Tablets aren’t a baby sitter.

    But denying your kids access to them until a certain age and then turning them loose and wishing them good luck is harming them so much more.

    My example I always go back to is schools and banning cell phones. My school had an outright ban. You walk into school, you shut the phone off and put it in your locker. Which at its face, kind of makes sense. But then I went to college and nobody cared about my phone. I spent my first semester on my phone near constantly. I had to take weeks to teach myself that, while having my phone is nice, I still need to pay attention in class.

    Technology exists to better our lives and outright denying children from learning HOW to use it properly is going to be to their detriment.



  • Cases like this make it so difficult. As rule, I think capital punishment is wrong. But then someone like this guy who, whether his time in the military made him one or he was just a broken individual, is a monster and shouldn’t exist shows up. It’s wrong to treat any prisoner inhumanly, but damn is it hard to say this dude should have spent all of his time on death row in a metal box with not even a bed.

    I still say that the death penalty should not exist, but I’m not going to give this guy a second thought today.
