He still thinks the “Central Park 5” should have been executed even though they were exonerated. 5 young men who share a certain skin color with me…

Agreed. I once tried to look up nearby supermarkets that didn’t donate to antilgbt stuff (or just not GOP) and it wasn’t feasible to avoid it with what was in range back then, especially if I wanted any quality. It felt like I had no choice, so accept and live with it is also what I did. I still tried to avoid egregious examples, of course. Tesla now counts, not just because of his personality, but also because of some of the cost cutting practices and regulation skirting he has done.

I don’t track down and listen to CEOs. I don’t know most of them. The pedo sub thing was generally the first negative I heard about him also, just from general impressions that came off if you didn’t search for him specifically. I also heard about the Type E and Type 3 thing, and how he wanted to have the cars spell out SEX. I thought it was a bit immature, but didn’t read much further into it back then how much of a manchild he was.

If you’re not dialed into specific types of content, you just didn’t hear it. It’s not simply opening your ears as you said. It would involve having enough interest in looking up a CEO of a company, and many of us don’t do that. I don’t know who runs Kroger, though I have some negative opinions due to the price fixing. I don’t know who is the CEO of Aldi, of Nissan, of AMD, of cuisine Art, etc. I use products from or purchase from the previous companies either daily or weekly, but knowing the CEO generally doesn’t affect me.

What he’s done since then does now affect much more, but back then it wasn’t that important for most to know.

Star Trek has always been political though?

Iirc it’s based on a real experience, so that’s probably true. I haven’t seen it in forever, nor do I intend to, so I say probably because I don’t recall all the nuance.

I don’t remember fully about that airport(after all, it is a full 20 mins from my house) but as i recall this is a major Delta hub, and because of that the entire section where they board and then move to taxi is all Delta only.

It’s just so common here. It’s an automatic assumption that a snide culture comment isn’t about America but those of us with some melanin in our skin.

Yeah, JWs (I’m ex) believe climate change is foretold in Rev 11:18, which says (dunno which version, just googled, but not the JW version as it uses ruining the Earth);

The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.

Italics mine. JW version is bring >“to ruin those ruining the Earth.” Either way, they believe that means God will stop and destroy those bringing about climate change. Since it relies on God, it’s another one that really doesn’t help even if they believe in in, because they believe God will stop it before it’s too late.

Networking, we had a remote office in Europe (I’m in the US) and wanted to reset a phone. Phone was on port 10 of the Cisco switch, port 1 went to the firewall (not my design, already in place).

Helping my coworker, I tell her to shut port 10.

Shut port 1, enter.

Ok… office is offline and on another continent…

They’re likely translated, not literal. Might be harder to find, and some may be up to interpretation. I’m certainly not up to date on everything going on with him, so I can’t say.

Don’t even know what it stands for. I don’t recall feeling a strong specific vibe from .ee people. By vibe I mean, I see a lot of people from that instance giving a vibe. Explaining it is complicated, so I won’t try, but based on some instances I feel there is a general feeling of how users may feel about certain topics, but .ee isn’t one I have any baseline for.

I’m imagining that last line said with a thousand yard stare.

Or just vacation packages. I’ll teleport your family to <insert expensive flight destination of choice> for the price of just 1 ticket, or half that, etc. My siblings and cousins wanted to do a family trip with ticket prices between 1-2k usd per person.

I don’t know the episode, but unless that’s some extremely official time piece controlled by the government or something, it could just be someone like me. I live in the US, and several of the temp gauges in the house are celcius, including the one I keep at my desk and my in room A/C (set at 25 atm).

I also used to keep my car on km/h instead of mph just for fun and confusing anyone who rode with me why I was going 80 on local roads or 130 on the highway.

Kif, we have a conundrum.

43: chuckles, I’m in danger.

Used to? Some of them don’t know how to stop. Alex Jones jumped violently on this train, and h3, his crew, and Rodger Stone were up until Kamala became the forerunner claiming either Hillary or “big Mike” would replace Biden. Then would diverge into making more terrible jokes about Michelle Obama for a while before getting back to the point.

That’s fair.
