    The dark web is a pretty good bet. Going into a bar is probably going to get you arrested.

    If you go through the dark web don’t meet the hit man in person. Remain anonymous (plausible deniability). Use an anonymous way to send money. I have no experience in the dark web but I’d assume there is a way to do the equivalent of an escrow account. Where you put the money in and it won’t release until contract is complete.

    You have a very good point.

    In that case instead of NATO, then maybe the world builds some sort of coalition to take care of the problem. Those countries that want to put an end to this war can. But at the end of the day, it's up to the Ukraine to allow to happen, but we need to start looking at what exactly it is costing each year and ask if it's sustainable

    I agree with everything that you said except taxing unrealized gains. That is dumb as hell.

    I’m basically broke. But I have a few stocks that I own. If they go up , I should pay taxes even if they then go down? Which makes it even harder to get ahead. Exactly how is this a good idea?

    Are we going to magically set the dollar amount to only include the ultra wealthy even though we all know they won’t pay anyway because they’ll make it appear on paper they didn’t make that much and only the middle class and poor people will pay? (Holy shit was that a run on sentence. Meh I’ll leave it).

    But anyway yeah I’ll agree with the rest of it

    Yeah. Sadly i agree. It's on top of. 35.3 trillion at this point in debt. We can't keep going like this. It's why I say I'm less concerned but not going to say I'm not concerned. It's also why I say if we are going to keep spending then maybe we need to figure out if there is a way to end this thing faster. At some point the well of cash runs dry. What happens when we can't spend more and Ukraine is sitting without weapons?

    Yes the old weapons are going to Ukraine and we get new stuff, but as your numbers show it's still spending more money at the end of the day.

    It just comes down to how much of an increase and where that break even point is.

    Some of it,such as the f-22, the US can't legally sell or give to them by law. It's literally against the law.

    Also there is the cost of the rest of it. If the Ukraine government is paying for it then yes sell it, but some of it is not being paid for. Some of it is being GIVEN. That costs money from the US tax players. At some point that well runs dry. You can't just keep giving and giving. It doesn't work. So since this has gone on long enough maybe it's time to end it.

    As for Ukraine saying no troops. Let's recap. If the Ukraine was paying for ALL of it then I'd say just keep selling equipment to them. Sooner or later one side or the other breaks. But some of it is not being paid for. The dollar amount is getting large of what congress has authorized so far. How long before our budget says wtf?! Sooner or later either we stop giving to save our economy or we send troops before we get to that point to end it faster.

    Yes I know Ukraine is saying no troops but there is the other half that equation. Ukraine is going to have to make a tough call at some point, unless they figure out how to beat Russia before that point.

    Money is a finite item, it is not infinite

    You are missing a step. Right now we are sending them equipment, and they are barely holding their own. If NATO goes in, then it’s a TON more equipment, plus a TON more troops. If Russia is barely holding their own against Ukraine, do you think they can hold back all of NATO?

    That war would be over a lot quicker

    Also, there is equipment that can’t be sent Ukraine, for example of the United States F 22, we literally can’t give that to the Ukraine. The law prevents it. But if NATO went in, that means the US would go in and the US could fly the F-22 into combat there.

    Here's an honest question : are they buying all the weapons and ammo? If so then the suppliers need to ramp up production. It's money in their pickets.

    If they aren't buying all weapons and ammo, and some is being given to the Ukraine . Then maybe we need to change what is happening. No one can continue forever giving money to another person /entity. Sooner or later the money runs out.

    The real question is, if it's becoming a financially strain then maybe it's time we change tactics and end this thing faster. Maybe it's time to send NATO in. Yes I know Ukraine doesn't want foreign militaries in there but if they haven't won by now maybe a hard choice has to be made.

    Is there a wig that doesn't heat your head?

    My mom would not be able to wear a hat during the summer obviously heat would stay in and she would get too hot. She needs a wig, but that wig should, for lack of a better phrase, breathe. So it doesn’t hold the heat in near the scalp. Is there a wig that is like that? Or do all wigs effectively hold heat to the scalp? Edit: I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. That's on me. I meant will a wig be more warm then normal hair?

    With so many narratives they could have chosen:

    When a ton of immigrants come in it puts a strain on the social welfare system.

    When a ton of new immigrant children comes into a new school district it puts a large strain on the teachers.

    I mean there are things they could have chosen, but pets being eaten? Really? How exactly did they choose that?

    The question I would have at this point is how much of a change was it? For example, all their channels right now are coming through service, so that means one remote and effectively one graphical interface.

    So under the new system with everything coming through one graphical interface? Or how many different systems would this entail? How many times would they have to change input? As a person gets older having to deal with multiple inputs, possibly even multiple remotes can be more headache than it is worth.

    I don’t know what the age of your parents are, but with my mom she’s over 70, she knows the sound systems makes TV shows and movies sound much better, but all the extra remotes and changing of inputs, etc. it’s too much for her.

    I don’t know what the age of your parents are, but with my mom she’s over 70, she knows the sound systems makes TV shows and movies sound much better, but all the extra remotes and changing of inputs, etc. she just it’s too much for her no idea of why this got duplicated

    again, I don’t know what the age of your parents are so I’m not sure if that would be a problem or not? But it is something I’m curious on is how many different interfaces/systems and remotes are they having to deal with when you put them over on the new system?

    Also, sometimes even without age people are just going, give me one system, integrated into one interface, give me one remote and just let me view the shows.

    Sorry if I sound like I’m arguing against you I do apologize if I sound that way. I’m just curious what your responses are , And if it turns out that it is a number of remotes, it might be something I think about.

    This is the best option. Put the system in and go over a lot and show them that ALL of their shows they want are available. Then show what it costs. Pay for it yourself as a gift to them. Once they see the bill (if it's cheaper) and once they see ALL of their shows are available, that should convince them.

    I have two internal hard drives in my pc, one has windows 11 and one is for extra storage. I hooked up an external USB drive to install Linux onto. During the install it says Device for boot loader installation And then it gives me a number of options /dev/nvme0n1 (this I think is what my windows 10 is at) /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p3 /dev/nvme0n1p4 /dev/sda ATA WDC WD10EZEX-00W (1.0 TB) Ii think this is the other internal drive /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb WD easystore 2647 (1.0 TB) /dev/sdb1 I think the easystore is my external drive. The problem is they are both 1T in size and both western digital. How do I know which is which? Just above where it says "device for boot loader installation" it shows ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cc3711eb-20dc-4b82-a33a-66dda08e0722.jpeg) If I try to click on /dev/sdb I can't click on install now. On the basis that I should be trying to install in /dev/sdb what am I doing wrong to actually start the install process? Yeah I'm new to Linux.

    Each of the companies that we have talked to for Hot air balloon rides have said you pay for it in advance, then if there is bad weather, you don’t get your money back. You just have to reschedule for another day. We have a friend who had to make many many many trips an hour and a half each way and each time on the way there, they would get a call to say sorry it’s too windy or some other item. It took a long time before they actually got there actual ride.

    Random alarms or sirens for tornado drills at random times is stupid.

    In the United States it used to be on the first Wednesday of each month during the summer they would run a tornado alarm. Namely it was to test the alarm system, to make sure that everything was working. And we knew if it was Wednesday and the first Wednesday of the month I mean. And those alarms went off we knew not to worry too much about it. For some genius reason they decided to run them on different days, it’s pretty much just random at this point. Which is stupid because the only thing it does is makes everybody ignore the alarm.
