The guy had a police vehicle or one modified to look like one.

Police engaged him at the Hortman's where he took cover in. They say he escaped on foot. The suspect supposedly had a fake badge, fake uniform, and appeared to have police kit such as a taser and tactical vest.

Police say they found a manifesto in the vehicle with a list of names.

Wearing body armor over blue shirt and pants. It looks like they engaged the suspect at the Hortman residence so they probably got a good look at him.

Maybe it's possible they were able to review CCTV footage already as well?

Their shelter in place advisory says not to open the door for a single police officer or to call 911 to confirm.

Metal ones seem nice. I agree with the plastic ones being shitty though. It just seems like more waste and microplastics being added to my brain fork.

Yeah, great point. We are in a small starter home, only about 10 concurrent Wi-Fi devices. It's working great now, although the Wi-Fi gets a bit spotty in the backyard and detached garage. I will certainly be upgrading when the budget allows.

Some routers allow you to turn the router into an AP. I just got my micropc and working on installing OPNSense right now. I plan to switch my current router to AP mode until I can get my hands on a decent AP.

Deepfakes being introduced to mainstream would just lead to them proliferating being shared on social media/texts/emails etc... The disclaimers would be cropped out, watermarks would be blurred or removed, and the general public who eats up rage baiting content would be effectively be forcefed even more misinformation in their feeds.

I'm sure there are good ways to prevent this, but the average user/consumer isn't going to put much effort into disproving what they are seeing. Esppecially if that content fits their narrative and reinforces their beliefs and tribal alignment.

The ID.4 Pro has been great to me. I had still been driving my paid off car from college, so all the newer "smart" features were a bit of a shock. Things like lane assist and sound alerts when backing up I turned off because they were too much/annoying. For instance, the lane assist had a hard time with some curves, or if there was an error in the road paint, or sometimes just hiccuped for no reason. It had trouble with snow on the roads as well.

I wouldn't buy one without having the ability to use an at home charger. My commute is about 65 miles a day and I don't often drive much further than that. I live in a cold state where in the winter it can get well below 0 fahrenheit. Battery is heavily impacted, and I do get more anxious about it general when it is very cold like that.

I have read some reports that Volkswagen wants to move away from touchscreens and back to analog buttons/knobs so maybe look for that in the future?

Mine was to grab a big bag of the cheapest rice at the Asian supermarket and a bulk bag of black beans. Cook rice and beans then mix with soy sauce/black pepper. If I had eggs I would add a fried egg for breakfast or hard boiled for lunch / dinner.

While the stove was broken I would poke holes in potatoes with a fork and microwave them until soft. Salt & pepper or whatever seasoning you had. Butter was a great addition to this if it was around.

For a side dish or snack I would often do ramen coleslaw. Smash up the ramen noodles and pour over a whole bag of Cole slaw. Pour the seasoning packet on top of that. Toast almond slivers then at the end add some sesame oil to warm up the oil. Pour the almonds and oil into the slaw and mix.

Their plant based meatballs are good too. I pan fry them then toss them into a slow cooker with some bachans barbecue sauce, green onion, and sesame seeds for parties and potlucks.

Yeah, to be fair I didn't know what I was doing really. They were smaller and specialized so I am guessing they are pretty tight knit and selective.

I had been browsing without an account since Reddit banned third party apps. After a few months of testing the waters I had applied for a few tech focused instances because I thought that would be fitting since it is my career. I got rejected so I just stuck with the one that approved and let me comment on posts.
