Good job projecting your personal preferences and dating strategy onto every other person in the world 👍

Also, good job failing to empathize with people who are regularly lied to and intentionally misled by people with negative intent, because “not all men” or what the fuck ever logical equivalent

Your responses have told me everything I need to know. This one isn’t hard to discern.

The content of your statements are actively perpetuating the problem right now. Therefore, you are the problem.

Not super complicated.

I’m not questioning your intent. But the results speak for themselves.

You’re right. They’re not fragile and helpless.

You know how women protect themselves? How they demonstrate their strength and ability to help themselves?

By bringing other people when meeting strangers who are statistically likely to be larger and stronger than they are, and 60% more likely to commit a violent crime!

If you can’t figure out the difference between “I distrust unknown men” and “I distrust you” then you have a hell of a lot to learn, dude :/

This is how you get lied to. This is how you wind up shocked when they reveal later that they had a friend nearby. Because they can’t even trust you not to judge them for prioritizing their own safety.

You are the problem.

Tell me you have no concept of the day to day experience of women without telling me you have no concept of the day to day experience of women, speed run edition

The median is a statistical fact that can be used by humans in both good and bad ways. Lots of data can be made to look lots of different ways in the hands of different people.

That’s why teaching critical thinking (not just the skills but the importance and value) is paramount. People need to understand what they’re looking at. Because sometimes you want the mean, other times you want the median, and if you can’t even understand when you might want one or the other or both for different reasons then you can be led around by the nose with either.

Very thoughtful and informed reply. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

These conservative warnings exist for a reason, though. That being hundreds of lives at stake. What I think would be more interesting is to hear how often these types of events occurred before and after the layoffs at the FAA

Someone make a “grand moth tarkin” meme for me, please. I’m too lazy.

This is misleading and dangerous rhetoric.

Autonomous vehicles - actual autonomous ones, not Tesla bullshit marketing “self-driving” - are already significantly safer than human drivers. Yes, they are limited to certain conditions (they don’t handle inclement weather very well yet) but the point is that they are already improving safety over human drivers.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Additionally, once autonomous vehicles become the standard, you will see a dramatic shift in how the insurance industry operates.

Think about it: if I’m not the one driving, why would I be the one taking on liability? I wouldn’t. The manufacturer would. Suddenly, the insurance industry would be targeting vehicle/software producers instead of individuals. And anyone who chooses to drive themselves anyway? They would almost always be liable by default. Premiums for drivers would skyrocket and this would be a huge disincentive to getting behind the wheel in the first place.

Don’t. Let. The. Perfect. Be. The. Enemy. Of. The. Good.

We all lose out. And it costs lives.

While this is good advice, best practice is to always get your yubikey in pairs and keep them synchronized. One should remain in your home, in a safe place (as you described) while the other should remain on your person or outside the home (e.g. in a safe deposit box)

It’s more of a pain in the ass for sure, but handles the theft scenario more effectively

It’s really, really easy to find a ton of information on Hezbollah and their history of criminal atrocities. Like, 20 minutes of googling easy.

Also it wasn’t my comment you were replying to.

Which sea and which river was that again? Is it perhaps some geography that categorically precludes the existence of Israel? Since, you know, from the river to the sea must be free, and I am pretty sure they don’t mean “free, under Israeli governance”

“Caring about Palestine” is not the same as waving the flags of Hezbollah, and Hamas, and changing “from the river to the sea”

I support Palestine and Palestinians. Israel is committing genocide.

I am also Jewish and will never wave a Hezbollah or Hamas flag, nor will you ever hear me chant that antisemitic phrase promoting the extermination of Jews.

You’re acting just as bad as the Israelis when it comes to perceiving anything but complete support for everything they do as an attack

Ayyyy awesome! Glad to hear you’re getting full speeds now!

I’ve personally run into this before, when I got my first gigabit connection. Definitely took me a long time to track it down, and required someone on SmallNetBuilders forum telling me about it haha

With a gigabit connection, you shouldn’t really need QoS, unless your upstream is getting saturated (since I don’t think the coax gigabit providers offer symmetric up/down). But if you do, you’ll want to get another device to do it, or use more simple approaches like just capping throughput per device. If you don’t already have a homelab server, a recent Raspberry Pi should be able to handle it (and then you’d also be able to set up PiHole and other fun self-hosted services)

Issue 1: Don’t use the speed test on your router. Use OpenSpeedTest on your desktop browser. Router hardware isn’t made for this type of function and can often pass traffic (using hardware acceleration) faster than it can decode packets (using the CPU, required for speed tests).

Issue 2: test at off-peak times of day. Last mile for ISPs can get congested and limit actual speeds

Issue 3: Disable QoS, detailed traffic analysis, or other packet-inspection tech on your router. These often require passing the packets through the CPU which can limit max throughput. Check to be sure that “hardware acceleration” is active if possible for your router (sometimes called “cut through forwarding”). This can impact WAN <=> LAN traffic by not LAN-only as it needs to be bridged in a way that LAN-only traffic doesn’t.

Bibi-chan? Is that you?

I will always read this meme in the voice of George Carlin narrating Thomas the Tank Engine, and then immediately post this exact reply with a link to this video: https://youtu.be/2a_gW1KvuFk?si=hR834siCZlYvOei1

Yeah, hasn’t that person seen the incredibly accurate journalistic masterpiece documentary “Weird: The Al Yankovich Story”?

I don’t think he’s seen the 100% true film, using only authentic footage from his life, “Weird: The Al Yankovich Story” 😮

Right? Waymo is already several times safer than humans and tesla’s garbage, yet municipalities keep refusing them. Trust is a huge problem for them.

And yes, haters, I know that they still have problems in inclement weather but that’s kinda the point: we would be much further along if it weren’t for the unreasonable hurdles they keep facing because of fear created by Tesla
