So, most pump POS used to have a labeled or unlabeled mute button. That has become rare.

So far, I’ve been able to kick all of them into a diagnostic/trouble menu by pressing pairs of keys on each side of the monitor in sequence from the top.

Some of them have a timeout on this screen, but the counter resets when you hit a key.

Passwords can be entered from the keypad, with ok/enter also working. I bet the passwords are the manufacturer default, probably a 5-7 digit number. I was able to find partial training manuals and setup docs from one of the POS vendors but I didn’t find a default password or deeper technical docs for the one brand I looked into.

Fucking ads in my face fucking piss me off.

Wow! We already knew he was a broke-dick motherfucker. However, that first article basically says all that shit is all burnt up in really big words.

Must be like pissing and cumming rusty razor blades. When he’s able to work up the nerve to piss or cum he may need a bite stick.

I don’t think it matters to Putin. I think this is catastrophic for Russia and will be the end of Putin’s Russia. No telling what replaces him, but it will probably be another strong man.

However, barring dark horses, the collapse will take years and many Russians and Ukrainians will die.

Probably turn up the meat grinder dial. Russia’s history has shown it can always get worse and they have no problem with human wave attacks. They have a significantly larger population than Ukraine.

Lunchables! You gotta keep that. Wonder if his Mommy still packs his lunchables and lays out his clothes every morning.

Yeah. I still buy shit at Amazon and Walmart. I don’t know that I have the energy for that boycott.

820,000 bananas rough estimate. Given a bungalow, including attic crawlspace, at 4500 cubic feet and a banana at .00551 cubic feet each.

This assumes the bananas have been blended or will squish and remove all gaps.

Man, those random rewards makes for some wicked conditioning.

Oh man, my son and I have been drooling over the Slate truck. We’ve been kicking around the idea of a '90s ranger electric conversion, but, the slate may mean we don’t have to.

Fucking Bruges.

Woah. That’s seriously old school. We had a C64 and then a DOS clone.

What do you program?

As late as 2018, I know of punch tape CNC still running production using rs-232 to optical out in the tape head.

Yeah, I see things reported or comments on Lemmy that ping my radar. Used to see it on thedonald subreddit. That was painfully transparent at first, you could see the Russians clock in and go to work.

All of this sounds like crazy talk, certainly makes me feel paranoid. However, I don’t think most of us, myself included, understand the scale of the media manipulation that is occuring. I think it’s chaotic, state level actors and corporations. Lemmy having a single source for its manipulation is unusual but it is small and nerdy.

Well, dawg, I’ve spent most of my life living in a completely different world than most posters on Lemmy.

And yes, I hunt, fish, eat meat, drive a truck, have a beard. I also talk funny. I have castrated calves. Been backup in large deals. Dealt with thieving meth heads. Done amateur surgery.

I don’t live in my mother’s urban basement eating chicken tendies.

But yeah, that’s my white squirrel.

Yes. It’s cruel, but if you pushed him far enough, he would be committed. Op hasn’t been able to get effective help from the government/social system.

Sounds like he’s older and there are physically stronger people in OPs house so if it escalated, they can defend without much trouble.

Cancer mom beats schizophrenic neighbor. If causing the neighbor to decompensate gets her peace, so be it. This is not a difficult ethical problem, the expedient solution is just illegal.

I’ve done and will do a whole lot to take care of my loved ones. Society sure isn’t.

I’m being downvoted to hell for it, but I’ve done similar things in the past. I’m used to corrupt ineffective cops, sometimes you just have fix shit and be done with it.

IDK, it’s redneck but a quick frame up would at least end the noise.

What do you reckon the organization looks like and what is the size?

What follows is totally unsubstantiated and just my gut.

I feel like there is A/B testing of phrases and factoids that is then used on the wider web. Also wonder if a good chunk of it is training as some of the writing is painfully naive in regards to western life and world politics in general. I also wonder how many follower parrots there are that are just propagandized westerners.

It’s your mama, with cancer, really being hurt here. Ethically, that gives you options. Sucks for your neighbor, he can’t help it.

Fastest solution is to wait for him to leave the house and post a lookout. Make entry and destroy every speaker you can find. Decorate broken items with something that is a feature of his behavior such as a common phrase or food item.

When he gets home and throws a fit, call the cops on him and deny everything and act frustrated and put out. Talk about your sick mother. This may fix it. Ifi not, at least make it much better.

Holy shit! Are you really unironically defending the North Korean government? Like, are you trolling?

Woah. That’s pretty wild. If you’re not trolling, what country are you from and how would you describe yourself politically? Where do you get your news?

I could search this, and probably should. Is the The Monster Raving Looney Party a real thing?

That’s like so fucking English.

🤘😁🤘
