Costs rising more than 3% a year. Since it’s California I’d imagine the insurance is going up much faster than 3% of total ownership costs. If small landlords cannot stay in the black because they can’t afford the insurance with capped rent increases they will sell to the entities that can afford to self-insure. Corporations like BlackRock

Oh man, that makes me feel better.

Is that ~10mm rod on the green one the trailing arm?! They look fragile and like they would get stuck really easily. Might be a spooled 2wd but I sort of doubt it.

If the paths are made for them, they would probably work fine but on a western ranch? nope.

oh. hmm

I use TrueNAS and just checked: There is an available Minecraft app and also something called MineOS (seems to be a front end to make managing the server easier). My plex running through the same app ecosystem stays updated and hasn’t failed me yet. I used to run the service separate from the NAS, but this is real nice.

FreeNAS and UnRaid probably have the same functionality.

I thought we weren’t supposed to kink shame. Maybe /u/Raglesnarf is really into degradation and being dominated. Full on ball-busting, perhaps?

No vassals, you are landed gentry. You own your machine now.

Cancel that evac, Boris.

Despite being named NYU, it is in fact a private university so yeah, no 1A protection there.

yeah, the slot is for when the tether breaks.

lol, PItbull “won” the air travel top spot last year and you don’t hear shit from him about being tracked.

It’s fun to watch airplanes. Watching them via radio is also fun. The data has been public since the FAA started issuing tail numbers and it’s never really been an issue before.

What’s really fucked up is that these jets currently operate under Part 91, just like grandpa’s Cessna. Quite unregulated when it comes to how long the pilots can fly and the taxes are lower than Part 135 which is where I believe these private jets should operate. IMO a private plane should be owner operated, allowing the individual to determine safety limits. Part 135 regulates quite a bit more, including pilot rest periods and allowed weather conditions. We already regulate these billionaire’s car drivers more stringently than a regular driver, why not the air travel too?

edit: oh, duh. If the airplane operates under Part 135 it can easily be owned by an LLC which is the same form of privacy protection I (and many others) use to shield my identity in real estate records.

This isn’t a stand alone bill, it’s just an amendment in the FAA re-authorization bill. They have to pass this bill every 5 years to keep air traffic going.

like /u/toiletobserver memed in this thread, “Challenge Accepted”. All the airplanes are still going to have to broadcast ID through ADS-B. They are going to shuffle the N-numbers around but I’m sure we’re going to have the finest geeks on the case deciphering who is who in the air based on where people end up on the ground.

What would be neat is if ScarJo sues and wins, could the Jane Doe voice actor then hit ScarJo with an antitrust lawsuit? I mean, if the poor lady can’t get work because the market for “that voice” is dominated by one actor: then what?

This isn’t a debate. Gloves are off.

So the US government wants to curtail the use of an open source architecture that is published by a Swiss organization which isn’t controlled by any government.

Talk about tilting at windmills. What the fuck could they possibly do? Sanction RISC-V International? ONO!

Right? I might have an old GTX970 I could part with if old boy here wants a drastic upgrade.

Look at the language. “Biden regime” “2014 coup”.
