My point (i.e. the "high hopes" part) is that this sounds legit and awesome. I do my best to be an optimist, but I have been burned way to many times to not concede that there may be ulterior motivation afoot.

I have high hopes but my logical side says they can just be pandering like any of the other politicians: they know people support it, they know it will fail. They look good for backing it even tho they aren't worried about changing the status quo either

I'm not a big Morrissey fan, but he isn't wrong herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjPhzgxe3L0&t=26

Maybe it depends on the access point. When I turn it off on my router there are no beacons sent. Unless you specifically probe the ssid it doesn't announce itself. BUT granted when you make a connection the ssid does show up during the handshake. If you were watching at the exact moment of connection then it would be detectable. I suppose they could use a mass deauther device and cause new connections and detect while that is happening but they they would need to triangulate the location of said ap... Again a lot of extra equipment.

I would set up your router, turn off ssid broadcast and forget about it. It's doubtful they have the equipment to find an access point that doesn't actively announce itself to the world .

Edit: it means you will have to manually add your wifi network to your devices by typing in the ssid on them but other than that there shouldn't be any issues

Sounds cool but most of the folding phones I have seen are as thick as 2 phones stacked when folded. If this is now 3 phones thick I think it looses some portability unless you put new pockets on your pants.

How do you know he isn't already on a diet?

Something similar happend to me in Connecticut. Some underaged kid driving her father's SUV backed into my car in a parking lot. She got out, apologized. I took a picture of her, the car and the license plate. She apologized to me and called her father who told her to get back in and drive home. It took the police 6 hours to respond, finally around 2am. They took the details and looked up the vehicle which had expired insurance. They went to the owners house, found the vehicle and knocked on the door. When no one answered (at 3am) they gave up, closed the case and told me to take it up with my insurance because they were understaffed. My insurance company tried using them for 6 months but eventually gave up as well as the police basically refused to help with anything other then the report.

I appreciate your concern. Clover is a girl kitty... She sees the vet two or three times a year. We got her from the rescue and she was a larger kitty then this and has been on a diet. She is and has been very active chasing her step brother and sister around our house, because she believes that she should be the only cat in he house. She doesn't like wet cat food or people food at all. It's slow going and it doesn't change the fact that she is a lot of kitty. It was about 85 in our house the day I took this picture and she flopped in the tile floor to cool off.

It amazes me that people in this thread tell me all about how I care for my cat by just looking at a picture of her.

Good to know. I know a couple of people in the steam deck world who dual boot windows and steamos and have their games on a btrfs partition that use it so they don't need games installed twice ... I have no desire to do this so I have never tried.

Have you seen/tried https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs ?

I have heard it is decent but have never had a need to try it.

 
 
 
 
 

It's been 57 short t years since my marriage has been a guaranteed right in the United States. It just blows my mind since my wife and I have been married for 24 years.

 

It's been 57 short years since it was a guaranteed right in the US that my wife and I could have our marriage recognized everywhere. To put that into perspective, we have been married for 24 years. When we got married I had no idea that there was ever a a question that we could be together. It's pretty insane to me.

 
 

I can't tell you how many times I have heard this song and never new. Soon as someone pointed it out all I can here is positive k's voice.
