Best Buy somehow would never send me an email or text to sign into my account, refused the password I had stored in my password manager, and couldn't send any link to reset it. So I spent my money at Target instead.

Great job, guys.

This is stupid. If the Tailscale plugin on OPNsense updates, it will offline itself. Why? Because it is too dumb to know that it has already authed and has a node key on hand. The workaround is to null pre-auth key field in the Tailscale GUI. forum.opnsense.org/index.php?to...

If you're wondering why Republicans have been in a redistricting panic, this is why. They are hopelessly chained to the most unpopular president in US history and their only hope is to pack districts with enough MAGA voters to compensate.

PS I do not expect this to work.
I mean, we're starting to sniff impeachment-capable majority territory.

Just sniffing it so far, but give Trump another full year to continue making people's lives worse and doing incredibly stupid stuff, and just about anything is possible.

If we're limited to movies, Muppet remakes/spoofs of popular movies (Die Hard, Titanic, Star Wars, etc). If we're talking TV shows, Better Off Ted for at least 3 additional full seasons.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Every year, we are asked to bring brussel sprouts. No recipe, but simple. Cook chopped bacon until crispy and the fat has rendered out, remove to a plate to drain. Add minced shallot, 2 minutes later add shredded brussel sprouts. When done, add a few glugs of balsalmic vinegar, salt, and the bacon.
What are you bringing to dinner?

I’m bringing Tini’s mac and cheese again (it was popular last time)

Or also known as cheese with noods.

I dunno, man. "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men" seems to be at direct odds with everything TPUSA does and stands for.

John wanted the kudos without doing the work. As usual. #utpol
Last week, Senator John Curtis stood shoulder to shoulder with Senator Kelly at Utah's UVU. Today Curtis has remained silent which tells you what a moral coward he truly is. Speak up John, you know damn well Senator Kelly would be first in line to defend you if the tables were turned. #utpol
Trump is threatening to recall to active duty Senator Mark Kelly so he can court martial him and put him in prison.

If Trump can do this then he can do it to me or any other military veteran.

Trump is a fascist dictator.

This is like mock 60s lava lamp typography and I see why everyone hates it.
I've been off all day so I'm just checking emails and here is the Utah 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Games logo (at least until 2029 when a new one is chosen for the Games itself). #utpol #Utah

Don't let @swiftonsecurity.com see this.
I wonder if they were called com ports because of 'corn' kerning.

Might need a hull modem cable which would have an odd pin-oat. The grains are so varied so you might run the risk of croptalk - would a germination resistor help there or just cause problems with seednal propagation?

Beyond the size, the white and dark meat are done *at different temperatures* which requires crazy workarounds. Imagine trying to cook an entire cow at once when the prime rib cuts are best at 125 and the chuck needs to hold around 205 for an hour.
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

I am not here for the sports, but the sports are what make normal people want to join and I like seeing people be excited about their passion.

If you're thinking about sharing confidential company information for profit and/or revenge, don't. Whatever you think it's worth you will pay far more in the costs of almost certain litigation (both time and $$$), both criminal and civil. I have never once seen this end well for someone.

This was basically the take I had on it at the #BSidesRedRocks keynote panel. IF quantum computing is actually "just around the corner" (and it has been for decades now), it's at least a full refresh cycle away and what you'd upgrade to will support quantum-resistance ciphers anyway.
This is spot on. Quantum’s gonna be the next cyber grift (again), after the bottom falls out of GenAI. www.linkedin.com/posts/nathan...

Completed a migration to a new webhost. $6/mo for 2 years was a steal compared to what I was paying the old one, and now it's a modern infrastructure built around Docker Compose and Debian. Lots of lessons learned in 7 years.

The worst congestion, though, is north of around 4100 S. You'd think that would be the priority.

Be VERY careful when upgrading from OPNsense 25.1 to 25.7. It nuked AdGuard Home (installed from a community repo) which required full reconfiguration, and it blew up Tailscale which required a new auth key to connect.
