Just a dude and his dog, and all that we're after is a life full of laughter

— if anyone understands fighting bureaucracy and COVID fallout, it's you. This isn't about bending rules; it's about fairness for people who played by them. Any advice or eyes on this would mean everything.@realDonaldTrump @elonmusk

No shortcuts. No overstays. Just a decade of paperwork, fees, and waiting through a global crisis that wasn't her fault. She's ready to contribute as a skilled instructor, but the system punished her twice for the same event.

After 10+ years of following every legal step for a U.S. working visa, my girlfriend (Bulgarian dance/fitness instructor) was finally approved right as COVID hit. Two days later, international travel shut down. Her visa expired before she could enter. We saved more money, invested more time, and restarted the entire process from scratch. Yesterday (3/30/2026) she had her second visa interview and was denied—explicitly because COVID decimated her business and she's still fighting to recover financially. The very pandemic that blocked her first approved visa is now being used against her comeback. We did everything right.

@BanditPatti Sorry it's taken so long to reply. I tend to post and forget. In total it cost me around $625 USD. Also be mindful of where the products are being shipped from.

Things are finally slowing down enough at the airport that I can actually take time to do things now!

DS225+ NAS server with 2 WD Red Plus 8TB HDD's. Making my own private cloud server to backup my electronics and use as a multi-media system. Getting it setup as we speak! 🥳

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

Okayyy a few hours later. Installing a NAS server for the first time, while drinking and expecting AI to walk my drunk ass through the process has run into a few difficulties. Note: I think the AI is kinda pissed at me now...

@Twitch I haven't streamed in at least two years. I'm curious as to how my channel got banned because my stream violated community guidelines.

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

@Twitch again?! I've dropped into like 3 streams over the past year. Resubbed to a favorite and lurked in two others. Can you at least tell me what I'm doing wrong? To clarify I'm banned for disobeying community guidelines, again. When I don't even speak, I just lurk.

@Lilli_mushnip Walty, you have treat for me? Lilli, you are the treat... My vote goes to Lilli.

I'm a blue-collar worker and love handling extreme weather, hot or cold. Maybe it's my age, but I had to pre-hydrate before mowing this afternoon and drank more than my body weight in water and Gatorade. What's with this heat?!

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

@Lilli_mushnip Gotta be C, get it out of the way so it's not caressing your cheek as your taking a bite out of B.

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

Another day at the office. Trying to mow around the runway while the crop dusters are hitting it hard and heavy. That puff of smoke was a friendly hello.

Please share <3 A little (teary) message about the Cancer Research UK charity stream on 2nd May!

[🍄Lilli🍄 @Lilli_mushnip]

This is happening a week on Friday! More info coming this week💖

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

Got a bit windy at the airport today!

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

I would like to take a minute to thank everyone who is still around. I probably should have posted this earlier but I'm kind of an idiot. Do to changes at work it's extremely hard to have time to game, let alone stream. I really appreciate those who just let me join and play.

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

Someone had a wild night. They caught air and flew right through the middle of my airport sign. Don't know the full details yet.

[DedBytes @DedBytes]

@realDonaldTrump Seeing a lot of push forward but not taking steps back. Robots! Tech! What about the vets living on the streets? We put up monument and give out purple hearts for those who died for the cause. Then shit on on ones who survived and made it back.
