I started keeping a list of companies that cold call me, it will take a lot for me to ever do business with any of them.

The worse are the lead gen companies. Those assholes call me multiple times a day even after I tell them not to call and report them.

Maybe? People willing to copy and distribute this content will always be around and you will never catch them all. People willing to pay a discount or seek not and find said content will always be around. And there will be those who will watch a show or a movie because it is freely available, who would never pay a dime for it.

They will never end piracy and I’d argue it might actually be bad for business if they did.

I can only infer the meaning of the graph but it seems to me that the sampling has increased which could shift the line as well.

I think this is also an archaic model from before smart phones and the early days of smart phones. In the early days of apps, most attempted to limit data usage because most network providers charged a premium for data and the networks were much slower and smaller.

While you could tether in these early days, even before smart phones, the computer was capable of much higher data usage than the phone. These limits were put in place to protect a network that wasn’t really built for this level of load.

Old rules with good purpose turned into a way to charge more money.

Every time the ATT sales people bug me at stores I tell them what I’m paying and that I get unlimited hotspot and they usually say “oh, you’re good.”

Add to this that Fi actually allows you to add data only SIMS at no cost.

Interesting. The app isn’t actually listed anymore after whatever I did.

Never. Keep work and personal completely separate.

I checked to see if this was on my pixel 6 pro. It wasn’t but I found this.

Not something I installed and not something I would allow.

The uninstall did not appear to work UNTIL I disabled the app and cleared the data.

2018 Subaru Forester

It might be a bit more updated than most, but in general less smart than most cars today.

• Still have to press a button on the key to unlock the doors, or use the convenient key.
• Need to put the key into the ignition to start.
• Doors do not automatically lock out unlock.
• Manual parking break.
• Rear door is 100% manual (if you didn’t count un/lock with key fob).
• Basic Bluetooth functionality.
• Equipped with OnStar, and Sirius.
• Shipped with 3G cellular, which no longer works. They do offer a free upgrade, I never bothered.

By my own assessment, it’s the dumbest modern car you can get.

Amusing that most of them likely have the money to get into the industry and if they did would likely be much higher profits than raising cattle.

I mean “vote early vote often” was a phrase out of Chicago and I’m pretty sure the Jungle was based in a bit of truth.

No, I don’t Believe this is actually happening, just pointing out there may have been some truth to it.

Eurovision. Lots of Eurovision.

This article is one of the better ones out there but it only scratches the surface of the WTF. I highly recommend at least scanning the report.

We concluded that, except for the White House Medical Unit, the National Capital Region executive medicine clinics that we visited did not procure, store, or dispense controlled substances or other prescription medications; rather, they relied on full‑service military treatment facility pharmacies for all pharmaceutical support. The National Capital Region executive medicine clinics relied on full‑service base or post pharmacies for all pharmaceutical support. Additionally, other than the White House Medical Unit, the Joint Commission, an independent health care accreditation agency, accredited all National Capital Region pharmacy operations, as required by DoD Manual 6025.13.

I can’t make out everything, but that is a lot of pills. I at least see fentanyl, morphine, and codine.

Now to play a bit of a devil’s advocate, the period investigated was 2017-2019. This was started due to internal reports by staff who obviously were uncomfortable with what was occurring.

I think it is likely much of what is against DoD regulation has likely been happening across many administrations. Most of the staff may not even know they were in violation.

I can’t imagine that the level of controlled substances was anywhere near this level or that they were handing out Ambien and provigil like it was candy.

That kit box would actually be perfect for my needs as this is a hobby I only visit occasionally or when needed. It would be great to have something I can easily store.

I’m much more interested in your kit in the background.

No but I did buy a pill from a pop-up ad.

Birthday on LinkedIn is a bit outlandish as age discrimination laws are fairly standard. I think it is more likely that they called it their birthday on some immature post, which may mean that the applicant is a poor cultural fit.
