It would be my choice if I needed that kind of tool.

I just killed my back for the day making a barbeque bath for their little fingers…

That guy is such a wiener; the wurst kind of shit sack.

Someone that takes abstract statements personally and responds in anger. It shows a lack of self awareness and depth. It also implies that they have a limited binary view of the world around them; a bipolar me versus others perspective outlook.

Hello serfs. Welcome to 1984. Fuck this dystopia.

So, you could almost call me a rocket boy. My grandfather was in Huntsville as a technical writer for the Saturn V, now I watch Vandenberg launches from my roof, with the second stage of Falcon 9 lighting off almost directly overhead from my perspective.

I lived in Tennessee/Alabama/Georgia up until my late teens, have family in the Orlando area, and my immediate family took vacations in Florida regularly when I was growing up. I’ve spent time in most of the tourist spots and stayed with family for awhile down there. In my teen my father traveled for work doing electrical retrofits of industrial controls that each took a few weeks to complete. I traveled with him for a little more than a year where we drove through or stayed in almost every state in the contiguous USA.

Indeed California is very different. I found it frustrating at first. After living here for a long time, things start making a lot more sense. There is a focus on avoiding a lot of the corporate abuses in the local community. Like Walmart and similar big box stores are largely hated here because people have tried to maintain local business culture. It is more broadly recognized how Walmart and similar ilk destroy local economies and create a dependency on artificially low price goods from a company with no ethics. There is more social awareness and political awareness here. There also seem to be more rich people that see a problem, get involved in some political niche, and tend to get things done. At least, when I looked into why some areas have really good cycling infrastructure versus others that do not, this was often the case.

Growing up in the South, people seemed to be very headlines hot takes culture. Like few people really cared or thought about the news or political headlines. I moved back to Georgia for a couple of years in my twenties and noticed the way information is tinted to the Right, and how many parts of life are just accepted as normal when in reality, it is all of those normals causing people the majority of socioeconomic problems in the first place. The big box brand corporate culture is essentially an export trade deficiency in the community and region. They export wealth and offer nothing in return, often they pay poverty wages and cost the local economy even more when they subsidize the wages of these workers. Corrupt governments will often give these institutions low or tax free status just for building in their jurisdiction. This is one of the largest reasons the South is so poor by comparison.

As far as weather here, this may seem odd, I know it did for me at first, but SoCal has micro climates. The weather where I live, a couple of blocks from the cliffs above the ocean, is very different than the weather just one mile away going inland. It can rain here and be sunny a mile away. The cold ocean upwelling is pretty strong here and the angle if the coast is south so there are no prevailing issues. When the sun is most intense and there are no major fronts passing from some distant equatorial storm tracking into the Pacific, this area gets marine layer clouds. Most homes here do not have air conditioning because they do not need them. It stays ~70F year round. A mile away gets hotter and colder by 10-20 degrees, but it remains stable here.

The waves are dependant on the ocean floor, winds at sea, and orientation of the coast line. Where I am at, there are never really big waves because the ocean shelf is like a hill side going down over 100 feet within 100 yards of the beach. There are some spots around with waves, but I’ve seen bigger on the Atlantic coast of Florida. I’ve been to some places, like this one spot in a secluded cove in Laguna Beach where the waves break right up against the sand. Someone lost a body board that was like 10 feet away. I went in to get it as I was the strongest swimmer there, with a divers license and all. Just past the breakers it went from mid thigh depth to well over my head in a single step, and the current pulling straight down HARD. I had never felt anything like that before. It took everything I had to get out away from it into deeper water, and then everything I had to get on the board and get back to the beach as it tried to pull me out of the cove.

In Florida, I’ve been pulled along the beach while playing in the waves where I end up some distance away from where I started, but deep water does some really unusual things.

It takes awhile to get to know this place. It took me 10+ years to really feel at home. There is a lot of subtlety that takes time to pick up on and understand why things are the way they are. A lot of it is an attempt at a more egalitarian society. It fails in some ways. A lot is from not-in-my-back-yard asshats, but overall it is a place that has more opportunity because people have fought to make it that way, and I find that endearing. After growing up half aware of they political eristic’s sophism, then moving back for awhile and noting the spurious nonsense, there is no comparable spin from here. The narrative has a Democratic focus, but it is not an equivalent spin or bowdlerized story like it is in the South. There is a certain freedom here that is nice, like it should be, even with its other flaws. At least that is my take.

There is no way for advertisers to know that their ads are actually shown. That is why an ad is a link to the advertiser’s website. If there is one thing I have learned from uploading to YT and watching, it’s that YT is terrible at transparency and this kind of logistics. I doubt this will work at all.

Southern California is the main homeless destination in the country. The Los Angeles basin is unusual. It is a bowl of surrounding mountains against a rare deep ocean upwelling current. We actually have fewer really hot Summer days near the coast than you might think. There needs to be a pattern that pulls the desert out over the cold ocean to make the signature SoCal beach days. The rest of the time, within a few miles of the ocean, the temperatures stay quite mild. San Diego gets hot, and just north of LA it gets cold enough to freeze in winter, but not within the basin. It also only rains for a few weeks total every year, and all of that will pretty much happen a week at a time. Up near the center, Sierra mountains are the likely cause.

No joke there are 100k homeless people in the LA basin right now.

I’m in social isolation from disability. On a full day of testing for cognitive effects from a massive head injury with a psychologist, I’m well above average in every category tested. I’m an outlier for functional thought with an abstract focus based on intuitive thinking skills. It is not ASD. I can seem odd to some opposing personalities, but these seem just as odd to me.

I stereotype that all animals are a reflection of their owner’s behaviors. Mostly because I’ve shaped every animal I’ve ever been around for more than a few weeks. It is likely my consistent routine, intuition, and self awareness. I don’t put up with crap, I reward good behavior, but I punish bad behavior. I primarily withdraw my attention in a pronounced way, but when an animal intentionally acts out by biting, stealing, scratching or trespassing intentionally, I toss a pillow at them. It only takes a couple of times and it stops the behavior to the point where I only need to grab a pillow in the future. I might need to toss a pillow once or twice a year. Above all, I am simply consistent in positive attention. My cats come when I call, one will fetch toys, the other asks to be brushed. We all prefer quiet. I am never scratched, bitten, or threatened with play biting or scratching. I’ve had a dog that played by the same rules. But like, when people come over I herd them into my room, there is a hideaway under my bed. I make new toys out of junk all the time, etc. All of my pets are like this, so I view all pets as a reflection of the consistency, self awareness, and intelligence of their owners.

These don’t scare me as much as the little ones do in the grand scheme of things.

I think we will see a 90% effective kill for $1k within the next decade. Start making your >> /dev/null and random image noise camouflage soon… ‘nobody here but a bad pixel’

Me too

I think AMA only works when it is 3rd party to the platform where the outcome is inconsequential to the platform. A dev on their own project would have much more negative and far reaching potential problems. Open source is already challenging to maintain morale and participation long term. I certainly would not want to see a major negative feedback from misguided or ignorant users. Most here likely don’t even understand things like why Rust is the gold standard of code, why that matters, or how hard that really is to work with.

As you get older, your perspective will likely shift to where “can’t” as a concept changes. It is a matter of mental focus and persistence. There are lots of things I won’t do or am too lazy to do but could if I apply myself for long enough. This is really true of almost anyone. I largely learned to overcome my impatience by doing auto body work. There were countless barely passable jobs where I let my impatience override my reality before I could overcome myself. Most people could not see my mistakes because they do not know what to look for, but I knew.

You’ll likely encounter some aspect of life that alters your perspective in this area. You already made the purchase. This is one commitment that will impact your view of yourself for the rest of your life. There is no hurry or time limit for learning. Ultimately, it is only 12 notes.

Ask yourself why and address it. Maybe try lowering tension on the neck and finding strings that work at lower height and tension. I play with an acoustic that has nearly the same action dynamics as an electric.

There are also some minor things that often do not get communicated. Hold the pick near the tip of your index finger and not near the middle or upper joint/segment. Keep the end of your thumb on your fretting hand behind the guitar neck; don’t palm the neck. Most pattern-like music that you use TABs to play are accuracy exercises someone heard and made a song out of. One of the first songs I learned was December by Collective Soul. It happened to be TAB’d in a magazine and I played it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6exsatE-DUk

The first dozen or so songs you learn are harder, but choose them wisely, you will not forget them for your entire life. They will stick harder than anything else you learn.

3 Doors Down’s Kryptonite is another song based on both an ultra simple strumming rhythm that may not feel natural but will expand your understanding of strumming, while the picked line is another simple practice/pattern training system.

The Alice in Chains acoustic album’s Rooster is a simple chord and picking combo of two chords that are overly rewarded for their simplicity.

There’s little that users of an affected device can do other than install a patch if one becomes available from the manufacturer.

Gentoo gives extensive instructions:

• https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Secure_Boot

Arch:

• https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot

NIST (US government guides cover POSIX/Windows with a layperson explanation and guide):

• https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/key-management
• https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/specialpublications/nist.sp.800-57pt3r1.pdf

The technical documentation about Secure Boot says that SB is not a mechanisms to steal ownership of your device. It is a spurious claim because the design specification is only a reference and not a requirement. Gentoo has further documentation that can be found describing KeyTool, a package that enables booting directly into UEFI to change the keys manually if your implemented UEFI bootloader lacks the functional implementation required to sign your own keys. I’ve never tried it personally. I merely know of its existence.

The guitar (any instrument) is not like learning any other thing. It is a part of your life and something that you care enough to have or not. It is okay to suck at it and still enjoy it. There are a great many reasons to play that do not involve any social context. I tell people all the time, you do not hear of all the concerts people play using the masterful compositions of Albert Einstein, yet he played the violin.

I never play a guitar with or for other people. It is my emotional refuge. I’ve sucked at it for many years, but I simply do not care to make it an academic like pursuit so far in my life. I enjoy zoning out to my thoughts while my fingers move without.

I haven’t made any regretful purchases in a long time. Maybe some woodworking gear (planer/jointer) I’m unable to utilize well due to space constraints.

You’ve got to search for stuff. I don’t watch much outdoors stuff because of disability limitations.

Odyssey functions as a scripted backup copy loading system for many regular YouTubers. There are not a lot of views for most of it on Odyssey, so it doesn’t get promoted. At the same time there is a lot of absolute garbage on Odyssey that seems like either stuff YT never shows me, or more likely stuff that YT banned. That can make it challenging to find the decent stuff that is new.

I have profound and unwavering respect for the patriots that miss, hit an ear, and make their mark. Treasonous subhuman fuck of a shit stain. His supporters all belong behind bars or worse.
