re: Geopolitical security analyst on War Room says US munitions inventory nearly depleted.

I keep seeing this reported using almost the same verbiage all over twitter. I'm assuming it's all nonsense propaganda by somebody with an agenda. But if were to actually be true, somebody needs to hang... considering our massive military budget.

Will these be available on ESPN or is this part of some one off subscription like some of these tournaments?

The arms aren’t really ready this early. Happens almost every year. Give it some time and they will look much better.

The great part about the part of the route on Magazine from Jefferson and the more extended route of Thoth is how concentrated families are in that area. There are folks from outside of New Orleans who will come in to catch only Thoth on Super Sunday as it cruises its exclusive path before joining the regular route on Jefferson and Magazine,.
We caught Okeanos, Mid-City. and Thoth this year and next year we are going back to the Thoth only part of the route. It's much less crowded and more family friendly. Thoth is easily my favorite parade because of this.

Some jackass on a float in either Okeanos or Midcity threw a bunch of whistles and all the kids had whistles around us blowing them non-stop. We had about 100 whistles blowing constantly after that. Wish he hadn't wasted his money on that idea.

but I don’t see why Russia would be willing to accept it.
They probably have come to conclusion being under the influence of the US is better than being under the control of China. I would imagine we will be a gentler master. And given their current projections, those are the two most realistic outcomes. China was going to treat Russia like the Belgians treated Africa. They just wanted all of those resources.

This isn't doom bullshite, we just had a large layoff and i'm friends with a ton of people looking for jobs. Companies are strongly prioritizing higher Sr. and Expert roles, entry level they are doing their best to replace with AI.
Sorry you don't like it, but if you are working on AD DC's i can see why your perspective of the industry is radically different.
I haven't really seen any of this. But I've been in security for a while now. If anything AI has made me have more job security. The amount of stupid shite people are doing via AI without a second thought is absurd. We have shut down lots of the AI usage because we had clowns doing stuff like leaving API keys or PII data in plan text because that's what the AI told them to do. Devs that should know better too.
AI is neat and has it's use case, but I feel like these AI layoffs are really just investor relations so they don't have to admit they are just regular layoffs.
ETA:To OP - echoing what others have said, you probably aren't jumping to a systems analyst or system admin role right away. You are going to have to cut your teeth on helpdesk.
Not saying it's the only way to do it, but I a Sr in cloud security and I started out as a temp making $10/hr on the helpdesk. But you can prove your worth and move up pretty quick at some companies.
re: Parents detail spending $16k per year on JaXXXons travel ball career
Posted by WavinWilly on 2/4/26 at 8:34 am to tiggerthetooth
Had a discussion recently with somebody who did this for their kid in a different sport. They talked about how it was an investment that paid off because it resulted in a scholarship for college. Things got very awkward and quiet when I pointed out they could have taken that money and paid for school (and a better school at that) with cash and had plenty of money left over.

You may want to research the security posture of this thing first. I would only run it on an isolated device with limited exposure.
Yea I've been reading all sorts of security researchers exploiting it. Also, I don't really have anything I need an llm to do for me in my daily personal life. I wouldn't be able to integrate it with work, so I just don't get the need.

Just looked into this - supposed to be finished before the end of the decade and more than double the current US production. That seems like things are working as intended.

re: Do you have a smoke detector in your attic?
Posted by WavinWilly on 1/27/26 at 7:34 am to dyslexiateechur
Do they work well up there? Does the temperature mess with them? My garage has always been of a concern because of the batteries for my tools but I’m under the impression smoke detectors don’t do well in garages. The sawdust, exhaust, temperature swings, etc messes with them I think? If I’m wrong I’ll definitely put them in both places.
re: Double SIM with IPhone
Posted by WavinWilly on 1/26/26 at 10:38 am to LSUDUCKMAN67
I have my personal T-Mobile Line and my work Verizon line on my iPhone. It's really useful. I can quickly identify what is a work call or a personal call and shut off the work line when I'm on vacation. My Wife has AT&T. Between one of those we should have a connection, and the T-Mobile Sat connection really helps in that regard come a disaster.

Where would you like the vents to go? And are you sure they are dryer vents and not (bathroom) exhaust fan vents? Either way it’s the side of the building or the roof typically.

I'm doing Keto right now and was looking for minimal carbs. I tried Body Armor recently and it does the trick. 1g of carbs per packet I think. Seems to do the trick. 700MG Potassium, 510MG of Sodium, and has a little calcium, magnesium, and zinc in it too.

Graves didn’t graduate from LSU and supports many college teams and NFL teams. Not sure he donates as much to LSU as many would expect from a billionaire alumn.
I've heard conflicting reports on Graves. I've heard from some people that say this - that he doesn't give as much as people think.
Then I've heard from some people, who I'm under the impression would be in the know, that say he is very instrumental and involved financially.

I never understood people that say you don’t need AWD in the south like its only use is snow.
Maybe I’m just dumb, but it seems to offer a lot of benefits in the rain. A good set of tires like Michelin defenders and AWD gives you real solid footing.
