Synology DS918+.

I’d imagine it looked less janky and more sturdy when it was new.

WFH jobs may not require fiber to the home, but if there’s no fiber infrastructure to support the overall traffic of the area then it’s just not going to work. Particularly when we’re talking about getting internet out to rural areas - fiber carries signal much further than copper, and can thus reach more communities.

At least it’s something different from the disappointing status quo of dying towns in America. Still sad. Pictures of the town make it look like it’s a charming little place. Hopefully things can turn around for it.

They also doing anything about the conservative culture that likely caused their brain drain in the first place?

I stick with Margaret Cho’s advice on vegans from her Assassin tour back in 2005:

And especially, especially, don’t fuck with vegans. Do not look vegans in the eye. If you get into an argument with a vegan, say “I’m wrong” and run away as fast as you can. Do not fuck with vegans because they will fuck you up…BECAUSE THEY’RE HUNGRY.

I do often say the Missouri side of KC is the fun side.

Put your head in the database butthole and receive the lethal dose of the diarrhea of knowledge!

Not missing much. It’s full of WASP-y pearl-clutchers.

If you want a result from a specific website, you need to specify that in your search query. Otherwise, stop complaining about getting the answer you were looking for.

Redirected to banggood.com. With a URL like that you’d expect porn, but it looks to be an Amazon ripoff.

ETA: subsequent clicks took me to dhgate.com, another shady shopping site. They probably run multiple sites and the link sends you to some sort of roulette thing that spits you out on one of them.

My hypothesis on this is they just don’t want to facilitate moving money out of their bank to another one. Moving money between accounts held by the same bank is usually much easier. The major US banks are for-profit businesses, after all.

Alternative hypothesis - US banks aren’t implementing new features because they’re mostly all still running on ancient IBM mainframes.

My main concern every time these health-sensing toilets come up (it’s a topic on everyone’s mind, ya know?) is how long until they start associating waste with the people it comes from, and then forwarding that info on to entities like insurance companies? I’d be too paranoid to use these in public bathrooms, and if I had one at home I’d be doing the usual IoT best practices - keep it on it’s own network with no internet access.

I’d imagine by wires that just aren’t visible. Even auto flushing toilets need power for the sensors, not that unusual.

What that tells me is they have such high employee turnover that their application process is just a disguised pool of warm bodies to pull from as needed. I’d avoid diving in if at all possible.

Magnetism’s just magic anyway. Who can explain that shit?
