  • Sure, but Trump is a totally different tier of liar.

    Most politicians “lie” through omission. They’ll tell the truth, just not the parts that make them or their friends look bad. That and overly ambitious campaign promises…but I generally look past that because they should really be called “campaign goals”, and the “stretch goals” should be easily identified by anyone with two braincells to rub together.

    Trump just puts out straight up objective falsehoods and rattles them off with a straight face.


  • Not only that, but managing wifi channel congestion in a dorm is a pita.

    It’s tough enough when you fully control the airspace, to have nice clean coverage and overlapping cells.

    But then add dozens or hundreds of individually managed APs in a tiny space…with DFS and/or 160MHz channel widths?

    Ops best bet is to get their own 5g home internet and plug in.

    You’ll be hard pressed to get a router to talk to a captive portal sign in…but if OP wants to get creative, this can easily be fixed with a dumb switch and a Linux PC with two NICs. You could use windows for this, but why would you?





  • I don’t think anyone is saying that those need to be solved before we can attempt to solve gun violence.

    But there is a definite mental health crisis in the USA, and that’s certainly not helping our gun violence issue.

    That and abject, perpetual, and generational poverty.

    And I’m sure the latter contributes to the former.

    “leftists” just want their population to be fairly represented. The system that we have now gives significantly more power to people who live in the right places.

    These places are all away from densely populated areas (which are, coincidentally, the areas that are contributing the most to our GDP, also where the highest wages are and thus where the biggest chunk of taxes are collected)

    What we are well on our way to, is a tyranny of the minority, and you sound like you’re applauding it. As if that is somehow better for everyone than majority rule, or even the stalemate we have now.

    Yeah, we want a functional democracy where not everyone, but at least the majority, thinks the same way…and also runs under the direction of a majority. You know, like a democracy should.

    What we have now is a dysfunctional democracy…one which runs counter to what the majority are thinking.




  • I’d been meaning to try out atomic distros. I’m not an expert on Linux by any means but I’ve been using it on-and-off for about 25 years, and exclusively (at home, at least) for about 7. So I’m a bit more than a noob.

    I do worry if I’d feel restricted inside of an atomic distro. Might throw kininite on a laptop I’ve been meaning to give to my kid, tho.

    The link is pretty interesting. Apparently a lot of eating disorders can be related to ADHD…namely BED, anorexia, and bulimia.

    With BED, supposedly it’s about instant gratification. That’s likely why a lot of people binge on a specific type of food…like sweets or saltys. Some of it can even be an OCD behavior.

    I do wish it was given nearly the same attention as the other eating disorders. It wasn’t even until a couple of years ago that I heard of it and the specific markers (like eating well past being full, or binging in secret). But most people have never heard of it because “har har fat person”.

    This is also why I believe obesity should often be handled as a symptom of mental distress, not something that exists in a vacuum.
