Can confirm. Skinny numetal kid in my teens, too many kitchen and bar jobs in my 20's and now mid 40's on Zoloft and apparently old goth dads are on the menu.

Cheers man. May the well never run dry.

Just moved down to Oregon from the Seattle area a few years ago and have a Mach-E.

Similar setup to the other poster here. 50a installed at home. We plug in at night and have charging set to 80% and synced with the local utility to prefer off hours. Price wise, we're spending about $60 a month compared to the $200+ we'd spend on previous ICE vehicles. Combined with solar on the roof, it's been a pretty good value. Not a net zero for sure but overall good.

If there's a long trip planned, we over ride settings to 100%. There's a ton of 300kwh chargers along I5 (0%-90% in 20 or so minutes every 3-4 hours). We've driven from Seattle to LA with no trouble a few times. Takes a little bit more planning but not too much of an issue.

Damn, one more blow to make that neighborhood completely unrecognizable.

Bingo at Sam Bonds was a staple activity back in the day.

It's a fantastic option at this point. I've been a GeForce Now user since 15 or 16 (whenever they launched the ShieldTV beta) and it's.... ok? You can still run it on deck as well of there's any concern.

Worth considering he could also use GeForce now while saving for a Steam Deck. Used ones go on sale for under $300 pretty frequently.

If we could start deplatforming extremist rhetoric online that would be a huge boon against these types of things.

It's A Classic Wartime Tale, Saddam did the same thing with Iraq's Elite Republican Guard 30+ years ago.

They were supposed to be the top tier of Iraq's forces and the US bombed them into the stone age with their opening salvo.

Don't mistake propaganda naming for anything other than it is. Dictator dick waving.

I haven't been near anybody Meta's platforms for a decade at least. Sounds like it is still a shit hole of "content" designer and curated to push consumption down peoples throats. No wonder it's still called a feed...

Have you tried being more in to US Politics, Linux and Privacy? I've found several very vibrant communities for those here.

As a shitter on the shitter I vote the name stays.

I'll take that to Matrix and my grave. 🤣
