Warner, Kaine push bill to shield federal workers from evictions, defaults amid shutdown

Last week, Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine joined 16 other Senate Democrats in introducing the Federal Employee Civil Relief Act.

Now I'm hungry

Not to brag but I can raise the price of Bitcoin $100 just by leaving and returning to the 'Buy' screen 🤣

One frustrating thing about hardware or home improvement store websites is when you search for an item you're already fairly confident is a non-stock, order-only item. Enter your search term and it brings back 300 results. Filter by "in stock at this store", and instead of just confirming your suspicions, it has to waste your time showing you 290 unrelated items because either they're in the same trade category or share one of the words in your search. Have some dignity, Home Depot 🤣

I'm not confident Bitcoin will succeed. I'm confident Bitcoin will succeed the day after I give in to the temptation to sell 🤣

Note to self: beware of censorship tactics that are difficult to discern from 'technical difficulties'.

Pretty cool of him to explain how the sausage is made. Also, sympathy for the altcoin exchange operators. Profit margins must be insane to put up with the hassle that Strike endured X 1000 different coins/tokens. https://www.youtube.com/live/AJjfEL773Fg

Had a part time job doing janitorial for a couple of local government offices. I bet one out of every three desks had a small space heater under it. Of course IT would probably laugh you right out of the building if you asked to connect a mining heater to their network. View quoted note →

Police are asking kids to stop pulling AI homeless man prank

The AI #homelessmanprank has gone viral, causing headaches for law enforcement.

Apparently this makes your browser grow a pair and force the page to use those beautiful old typewriter fonts.

I feel like ChatGPT is trying to impress me with its knowledge instead of helping me. Goal: when someone transmits on their radio tuned to say 123.4567 MHz using a CTCSS tone of 156.7, the other radio receives the transmission and passes it on to an internet-connected device where I can hear it on my laptop, phone, etc. My thought was an HT > patch cable > old Android running Zello app should be able to do this. ChatGPT says I need to connect an SDR dongle to a Pi then run a bunch of code I don't understand. More code if you need it to auto-run at reboot or only rebroadcast the audio instead of constantly streaming the silence too, plus even more code to only rebroadcast transmissions that have the CTCSS tone. Why does ChatGPT have an aversion to recommending anything with a GUI?

He brings up an interesting point about some members of Congress being unable to do their job on a congressman's salary. Have you ever run across a rusty old tool that was used in an ancient technology? I don't know, something like porcelain or glass insulators for residential electrical wiring? That's basically how I view the US government. A creation for a time when the fastest mode of communication was a letter-carrier on a horse. And it's funny how they talk out of both sides of their mouth. On the one hand, they want us to believe they're such great experts at digital security that we have no reason to fear our sensitive chats and emails being leaked through a government-mandated backdoor. Meanwhile, members of Congress have to ignore pollution caused by air travel, and keep flying between their district and DC because there's no confidence in this same government's capacity to facilitate secure, digital, remote-voting on legislation.
