This is so stupid. It cracked me the fuck up. The kid and I are sitting giggling like a couple of morons.

Looks like it is showing some etoiliation on the new bud. It has to bud to continue to grow as it was cut of when planted. Aerial root may mean that it is root bound in that pot.

Larger pot with the correct soil for dragon fruit, more sun.

Farm and eweka.

I drive a 98 Ranger XLT, it has a 5900 lb towing capacity. I’m pretty much going to keep fixing it forever.

I second this recommendation, was going to post the same thing. Just watch out for cats and permethrin, it is neurotoxic for them.

Dikes or pair of dikes also refers to diagonal cutters. (Look like pliers with blades instead of jaws at the end) They are used for cutting sheet metal, also, wire cutters are also called dikes. Can also be used as a verb: Dike off the corner of that piece of steel, or, dike out that part of the circuit.

My wife is bi and it always messes with her when I say it. Just a trade term.

Dang, you’re in about as good a place as you can be then.

I hope I’m just an alarmist old fart. If so, my family ends up with a better life anyhow.

For your old man’s sake, have a plan. Have a go-bag, include SS card and birth certificate. Try and keep your vehicle 3/4 full. Chances are, you will have time to run to a safe state on one of the coasts. Pre-plan two routes, one for back roads and the other for highways and interstates, print it out. If you can, keep a minimum of $500 on hand and more like $1-2k.

I strongly recommend a handgun, take it to the range and practice enough to be proficient loading and shooting at 7 yards. A single woman is usually welcomed at ranges. Just don’t talk politics and if anyone asks, you’ve got a bad ex-husband. The more straight you appear, the easier it will be.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice/novel. Stay safe.

Escape the Devil’s Doom Looks like there is a PC port for it now.

I have a wife, daughter, and son. My daughter is queer. My son is a teen. There isn’t a future here for them. My daughter, especially, will be in danger.

I’ve had to cut all contact with my family.

We’ve been saving since 2020.

If it was just me, I’d stay.

I pass as a bearded white guy good ol boy. The shit I hear. These people aren’t coming back. Even if nothing happens with the next election, I don’t know how they rejoin reality.

I don’t know what happens to this country. I kind of hope there is a bloodless balkanization.

As best I can figure, the majority on the left are completely unaware of how dangerous things have gotten over the last few years. Unless you’re living in it, most people see it as histrionics.

We live in the deep south in what used to be an island of relative progressiveness. I have acquaintances that joined the three percenters, know former military spouting Q shit. Lost the only man I ever called brother to the insanity. Things have CHANGED in the last few years.

Our friend circle has shrunk and we no longer talk to our neighbors.

We’re moving to the northeast this summer. There’s a very real chance that it won’t be safe for us here much longer.

Like you, we’re armed and also realize that it likely won’t be enough.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. The smart Jews with means got the fuck out of Germany before things popped off. We can’t afford to leave the country but hopefully we’ll land somewhere safer.

Hope nothing happens and all the worry has been for nothing. I really want to be wrong.

I’m probably, mostly, behind my eyes, inside my head.

In moments of adrenaline and action, I’m in my chest or gut. Sometime hands, especially when doing delicate or involved work. Sometimes legs or arms when laboring.

In times of pain, I’m often at the focus of the pain until I work and ignore the physical and go somewhere deep inside that doesn’t hurt so much. Usually, a good memory or fantasy.

I’m stripping ipv6 because I’m ignorant on a lot of this and a lot people say it’s bad and show how to strip it. I’m a script kiddie in a old guys body.

I ran both iptables-save and nft list ruleset but, the output was so offensively formatted when inserted into Lemmy, I’ll wait until I’ve had some sleep to try and get it legible.

Right, fail safe is the concern, I couldn’t get the kill switch to work so I started monkeying with UFW.

I’ve got 53 and 5353 open so that DNS will work for my local network when connecting to *arr and jellyfin.

I.E. type raspberrypi:8989 in a browser to bring up Sonarr.

Should I restrict to UDP?
