Hell yeah you know it is.

Being a kid of the 80s and living on the tail end of the Cold War this is just so weird.

The Republicans then, under Reagan, really viewed the Russians with disdain. We were constantly told - both by them, school, and the media, how Russia and Communism was the greatest evil on this planet.

Now all I see every time I turn on the news is some shadow of a Republican, gargling the balls of a Russian leader or representative.

It’s WEIRD I tell you, it’s like that movie The Manchurian Candidate is playing out only they’ve replaced the whole party.

There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.

My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…

I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don’t recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.

OP after I got my printer and got it printing (using a thumb drive for files for a bit) I setup a Raspberry PI running Octoprint on my network. Basically the printer hooks to the Pi and it serves as a print server of sorts. You can then send files to the Pi, configure it to watch your prints remotely (with a camera) and do some pretty cool things with it.

There are tons of videos on YouTube of course. Just something to think about.

But this is a very stupid one that he doesn’t seem to understand how to work it. Let me give you one example that hit last time this asshole was in office.

My spouse works for one such import company. While it is US based it gets its metals and product from China and a few other Asian markets.

I wont get into the details as to what all they make but they provide a lot of various hardware items that you find in the large retail hardware outlets.

When Orange Man did this last time, guess what happened? They simply increased the prices to compensate and pushed all that down the line to consumers. When the bottom dollar got bad enough they laid off employees. Same thing happened at some of the other companies she worked with.

Thing is the US hardly manufacture anything, anymore. In fact a lot of the metals and other stuff we no longer mine. It’s easy to say ‘This makes sense’ well no, it doesn’t - he is running his mouth again to get votes without considering the long term effects of how it will damage the economy even worse.

Clearly a WWJD moment.

Felt this way with Skyrim when it was released, then BOTW, then Horizon: Forbidden West, then Elden Ring….

Like a dog in a park that sees a squirrel 😂

Just imagine cocaine bread though. 🤔

True. Could be they are all liars and just trying to one up each other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Everyone that I work with that owns crypto brags about it non stop. Like it’s some sort of dick measuring tool. I assume it’s the same everywhere. They just cannot resist bragging about how much or how little they own of it.

I’ve never had an interest investing in it and never will.

UCC 1308 sounds like it should be the registry number of a starship. lol

The US government now uses it to charge people indiscriminately. I see the term in my local headlines once a month, at least, where someone gets tagged with this BS charge.

As one person said I used to think ‘dear God they must have a nuke in the basement’ but anymore you find out the person just had a sawed off shotgun or possibly the parts for a homemade silencer and a prosecutor got an instant hard on.

Ah yes, the Pope of Pedos is judging others again.

The whole reason I bought my Steamdeck was because I couldn’t get the Portal (thanks to scalpers).

Now I hardly ever turn the PS5 on because I am playing tons of games on Steam instead. When I do I am usually running something over my LAN via Chiaki to my Deck so others in my house can watch TV.

Mortal Kombat gave us that sweet sweet soundtrack.

Because what sane person, who upon walking into their home and finding a loved one unconscious (or even worse :dead:) doesn’t reach for their blender.

Amiright, guys??

I believe that cartoon images depicting sex of underage kids is still illegal. At least in the US.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but seems like I remember this from a news article a while back. Maybe it was just a specific state.

I am not going to Google that one though to find out though.

Alright now Satan.

Event Horizon vibes

lol yeah, nothing wrong with standing outside the door or stall necessarily.

Just standing with your nose ‘touching the door’ falls into the area of getting a bit creepy.
