When I was in the navy I went to a barcade and decided to buy around 1000 little army men. I managed to hide about 200 of them and I still have buddies telling me they found another.

So firstly, I don't sweat a lot to begin with. I'll go for a run and I'll be at a mile before I feel sweat beading up. I'll get a little clammy throughout the day, but rarely have whole body sweats. As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don't shower, it'll take several days before my significant other will notice.

But I don't wear deoderant or antiperspirant. If I do, then its like the rest of my body decides it needs to sweat. Anyone else out there with this experience?

Anyone who says "I don't want to have to draw my rifle", wants to draw their rifle.

Also, draw is a weird word in this context right? Draw your pistol, sure. But a rifle. I guess you can have a sling holster and technically would be "drawing" it.

Downvoted unkind discourse.

Upvote is for quality. No vote is for noise/disagreements. Downvote is for hate.

In theory, the lower a score, the less people see something. If I disagree with something that's said (like a civil political opinion), then I won't 'like' it. That takes away one potential point. But if someone is being unkind to others (mean, rude, trolling, etc) then I'll downvote, which I see as removing two votes. The one they could have had from me, and one from someone else. Hopefully, that means they won't get as much attention.

If it's really bad, then I'll also report

I'd still call bullshit. Done attacks will be useless. People desire drugs. They'll find a way.

The problem is supply and demand. If people want to use drugs, they're going to either way. We need to make the drugs ourselves and create harm reduction centers. Attack the problem at home.

For real, if I was buying FDA regulated MDMA at Walgreens, there would be a virtually 0 percent chance of me accidentally getting addicted to fentanyl.

I really care about my privacy. But I just can't break from SwiftKey keyboard. It's just so good. It's really unfortunate that it's owned by Microsoft.

When I delivered pizza in 2012, if you gave a 5 I'd always be happy. The thing with delivery is that the service is the delivery, not making the food. So it doesn't really make sense to be percentage based. Whether you ordered 2 large pizzas and a coke or just some cheese bread, my labor was the same. Of course, if you order 30 pizzas then yeah, tip more. Or if you lived far from the store. If you were literally two blocks over, a dollar is fine.

Think about how much time you're taking up. If you're 15 minutes away, it's also 15 minutes back. Assuming it's not Friday night, you may be the only delivery on that route. Which means, I could only make 2 deliveries an hour. Papa John's only paid me 2.50/hr while driving and 7.25 while in the store. So with those assumptions, I'd only make 12.50 that hour. And that's not accounting for gas, which I paid for myself.

It really varies a lot. But if you tip 5 bucks, I'd be at least making more than minimum wage. Less than 5 and it's not even worth leaving the store and wasting my gas.

Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It's also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can't burn it, because it's already burnt

The liberalism run wild concept is kinda what I'm curious about. Like what things? I know California protects abortions and has stronger gun control laws. But is that really it? There's gotta be more actual examples

I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me "why are you moving there, its so bad?". Now that I'm here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says "the policies are dumb" but can't give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

Don't buy cheap daily use items.

Shoes Mattress Car TV Computer

That doesn't mean buy the most expensive thing. if you rely on this thing to get you through the day, get yourself something of quality. Do your research. Often times, buying the more expensive thing now, can be cheaper in the long run.

Secondly: Use mental health professionals. Go to a therapist, psychologist, or anyone else trained to help people mentally. For years I advocated for my employees to seek help. I built work schedules around their appointments. I could tell that it help or productivity as a team. I did this for years. Finally, this year, I went to see a therapist myself. I've been having depression problems for a while but I never took my own advice. Now, just 4 months later I'm doing way better. Not perfect, but I can tell I've made very good progress.

Buddhism. I first learned about it when someone was discussing whether it's a religion or a way of life. They specifically mentioned that it doesn't necessarily prevent you from being Christian (which I was) at the same time.

3 years later and I disagree with that statement, to a certain extent. You could choose to ignore the "supernatural" parts of Buddhism and just learn from the lessons. But I think the more you learn, the more it just kinda makes sense.

For instance, buddhist believe in "re-incarnation" but there's a lot of debate about what that is. I prefer death and rebirth. Which I interpret as: I'm a different person than I was 10 years ago. The old me died and was reborn as what I am now.

Other things that I like about it: it is encouraged that you have skeptisicm about what you learn. I'm fact, you shouldn't just accept it because without questioning what your being told, you can not come to a true understanding and belief. The lessons all revolve around how to be a better person. How to achieve nirvana through your thoughts, actions, views, etc. Many of the principles were first introduced when buddha was alive 2500 years ago. Today, psychology studies have shown that many of them really do have long lasting, extremely beneficial effects. Think meditation and mindfulness (not necessarily invented by Buddhism, but popularized by it)

For me it really resonates. A lot of the things I care about are discussed. From mental health to treating life with respect to the environment to forgiveness. I also don't find much hipocracy.

I blame apple for this. They are using imessage and the green bubbles as marketing to get people to buy their hardware. So it's either you talk to people with iPhones or you use sms.

Meanwhile Google has been trying to get apple to use RCS for years. I would be curious if RCS and iMessage are susceptible. I didn't see anything about them when I glanced through your link.

Factorio. All about letting the factory grow.

I also started playing wizards of legend recently. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get through the tutorial, then it's just game. I'm enjoying it so far

If you're in California, feel free to volunteer or at least seek out a petition to sign. Hopefully, it'll happen this time.

Hey guys. I ordered an ASUSTOR NAS and it finally came in! I'm so excited to start hosting my own things!

So everything is going pretty smoothly so far. I got home assistant running. My plex is being migrated now. The next thing is getting my Reolink doorbell (IP cam) to start working. I can have it save data to it's local microSD, but I've got a new NAS.

With the back story done, the problem I'm having is that their software "surveillance center" seems to be broken. I installed it (yes, I already tried uninstalling and re-installing), and all it does is show 4 black screens with a tab at the top for "live view, settings, and logs". The problem is that none of the tabs do anything. Like I click, no response. Can't configure settings if you can't get to the screen.

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas? I can do FTP/FTPS with the camera, but I was hoping to use the built in software.

Thanks!

Side note: fuck Spez for making so I can't read reddit posts for help.
