No no no, see:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his sentence should serve as "a stark warning to all those entrusted with protecting national defense information: betray that trust, and you will be held accountable."

They mean business! For real this time. No take backs. While supplies last. Void in some states. Not all locations participate. Some restrictions apply.

Result: “sorry we shared your personal data, here’s a check for 38 cents. “

Worth noting, there is a difference between “lock” and “freeze”. See this article for the difference but I believe freezing is preferable https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/09/credit-freezes-are-free-let-the-ice-age-begin/

Freezes are free now and my experience has been they are instantaneous for freezing and thawing.

Agree, and sadly he won the popular vote too (so far). It’s really bleak how many people don’t vote at all.

lol: “experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly”. That’s one way to describe it!

Considering the state of the US, it’s really amazing more people don’t vote.

I think the Simpsons quote is:

we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas

This is both sad from the perspective that it was the last time and nice from the perspective that during that last time, I wasn’t bogged down with that knowledge and was able to enjoy it for what it was at the time.

Goodness, could you imagine the sheet storm if Trump backed out?

Thank you!

Agree 100%. Look up the “housing first model” and donate to non profits that do this:

https://www.caritascorp.org/

https://www.homefirstscc.org/

https://keysnonprofit.org/

https://epath.org/

Far too many states handle homelessness very poorly.

So much needless hate.

I think the list is longer

If advertising is meant to get attention and spark conversation, then goal achieved.

Lol

I’m ripe

Always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. You never know what someone else is going through.

In all seriousness, you need to sell that book title idea.

I think you misspelled “fascism”.

Hard to execute

Nice, I see what you did there.

It’s only a matter of time till someone moves a stock market for profit with a deep fake. If it hasn’t happened already.

“You can be princess… for now. You better watch your back Glenda.”

I’ve installed this on an old Chromebook already and it does work. You have to dig around for it a bit online but it has been available publicly for a while.

However , surprise, if it’s an old Chromebook you’re going to have to remove the internal write protect screw or use a Susie-q cable to make it the primary operating system on the device as they never intended for you to overwrite the existing os.

You can boot from usb or dual boot though.

Edit: plug for this awesome site that lets you update bios on chromebooks : https://mrchromebox.tech/#home

One of these things is not like the other…

Except plutonium, man that stuff will mess you up.

So they either knew or they didn’t care.

The scene with the bear…

I bought one of those Halloween mix bags last week and it actually had an empty skittles package about this size. Literally empty, sealed with what I can only assume was the factory fragrance of skittles.

Recycle your old batteries https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/recycling/yes-you-need-to-recycle-your-old-batteries-a5385943645/

Most batteries—regardless of type—contain toxic chemicals. Think cadmium, lead, lithium, or sulfuric acid. If your old batteries end up in a landfill, pollutants like these can leak out and contaminate groundwater, damage fragile ecosystems, and potentially make their way into the food chain.

That arms flailing last moment of “I regret everything” was great.

Asking the important questions right here.

I see “Godzilla minus one“ today and I’m pretty excited.

This right here. Every kid is different and parents should know what they need and be allowed the freedom to choose what’s right for them.

We have a 11 and 13 year old and neither are capable of disconnecting. I mean literally. They will skip sleep, meals and restroom breaks if given that level of freedom. So we have time limits. Reasonable ones in my opinion but still limits.

Also, I work in tech and one of the kids is extremely savvy at pushing boundaries and getting around my security , so I make it a game and give them the freedom to break limits in a controlled environment. This builds trust and teaches them at the same time.

Trust but verify and provide what’s best for your own kids.

“This hurts me more than it hurts you”

Yum! I do this with tortilla chips crushed slightly and let them soak in the melting butter in the pan while it warms up. Same thing in reverse mostly. Delicious.

I can usually make my goosebumps on my arm go away by concentrating alone.

My cat, a 3 year old tuxedo, does this strange yawn-meow when it’s time for dinner. It’s a combination of him meowing mixed with a full wide mouthed yawn. Its especially funny because he only does it once per night shortly before feeding and he typically has a chirpy meow anyway.

I have a 2015 leaf and while the estimated battery range has gone from 90’s to 60’s on mileage, it’s still kicking and gets me around the city just fine.

I do donate actually, to two organizations in my state. Not huge amounts , but something comfortable for me and my finances.

I started during the pandemic when homelessness was more visible in my area and I watched the city make all the wrong moves despite my votes.

Don’t get me wrong I prefer all avenues of improving the problem should be pursued but I also admit fully that donating isn’t for everyone.

I got suspicious this was removed by pressure from Reddit as some crazy cover up but no, just a changed link, I guess. I never saw the original post but found this when searching the interwebs: https://lifehacker.com/three-things-you-should-do-before-deleting-your-reddit-1850534879
