Not mutually exclusive.

Get out. Either say this to him or do it yourself.

I love Skechers.

Perfect excuse to get a hotel room … ?

The people who are making these things happen are wholly unfamiliar with consequences.

Conflating two very different political groups seems par for the course.

Soviet Union … Maoist …

Uhh

So I learned something yesterday, from someone who is in the world of research.

The trope about researchers spending most of their time applying for grants is no joke. Universities don’t pay researchers; the researchers get paid from the grant money they receive. If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.

So when federal grants get halted, there’s a whole bunch of people who do important research basically put out of work immediately. The kicker is that a fair amount of the research being funded is ongoing research, where if you just “stop doing it,” all the previous work is ruined. Because there’s a lot of things you can’t just stop, put on a shelf, and restart later.

Little t’s war on universities is more serious than you might think.

The person who delivered/stole the item is not a Doordash employee, as @TauZero@mander.xyz points out. They’re also right about if OP goes to the police, OP is subtly conceding that the independent contractor driver is the perpetrator, which can be argued to be letting BestBuy and Doordash off the hook - which is what they want.

I agree that doing the chargeback is the best course of action at this point. Yes, the bank will want to see the video proof - the bank is probably the only organization involved who would care about that.

Work supplied, but thanks.

Tell me what to get for my stupid iPhone.

This is what I used before work took away my nice phone and replaced it with a bullshit iPhone. Switched to Overcast since PA is not available for iOS.

When your repository is on Facebook.

You could also put up a piece of white 1/4 round over the gap. Saves the risk of damaging the nicer trim.

The one on the tower looks like a Moonraker CB antenna. The elements on those were horizontal to the ground.

That’s not what I was talking about.

Technitium does not (necessarily) use a third-party service, but sends all queries directly to the root nodes.

By default, any DNS server will look to the root servers for any query. The root servers only know what DNS servers are authoritative for top level domains (TLDs), and tell the client querying “Hey, go ask the “.com” (for example) server.”

That server knows what DNS servers are authoritative for the zones under .com, and says “Hey, go ask the “querieddomain” server.”

Then your machine asks that server for the “www” (for example) host, and that DNS server says “Here’s the IP.”

Unless the DNS server your machine is pointing at is configured to use a forwarder, wherein queries for any records that it isn’t authoritative for or aren’t in its local cache are resent to whatever DNS server is configured as the forwarder. The recursion like above is done between your DNS server and its forwarder, finally returning you an IP address when one is identified.

There’s a bit more to it than that, but that’s what I was talking about. Out of the box, a DNS server uses root hints, which are IP addresses of the root DNS servers. You would need to configure forwarder(s) in your DNS server if you desire them.

If that was the case, there would be a market for exactly 0 DNS servers.

I’m not sure what you mean by that, but it’s definitely the case.

For the record, any DNS server you choose to employ should default to only using the root servers. You would need to configure your own forwarder IP(s) to point to a general purpose resolver.

… censorship-free …

You should also be aware that even if you use root servers, a DNS server which is authoritative for the domain you are querying may well return different results depending on where in the world you are. This can be in order to direct you to an IP that is closer to you, or because “different global locations get different content” for any reason, including censorship and malicious goals. The latter is definitely less likely than the former, but it’s just as possible.

Hell, why not? If you have something which generates heat, why not capture that heat and put it to use?

tl;dr: “Strike that, reverse it.”

They can bid all they want to put ads in front of me, I ain’t gonna see them. Of course, they probably know that, too.
