Do you see new, unique colors, or are you more sensitive to what’s already there?

There’s gotta be a way to disable telemetry. My first thought is to cut whatever antenna is used to transmit your data to the corporation. It could be the same antenna used for radio, but I’d go without radio in a heartbeat if it meant Ford, Chevy, or whoever can’t spy on me in a car I paid $15,000+ for.

Of course, we shouldn’t have to do this. My first choice is to not give any of these car companies a dime of my money, but literally every single brand is doing it. This disgusting trend of spying on people should be illegal. It’s rapist behavior.

Looks like Kermit’s cracked out cousin and some beat down teledruggies.

Paranoya.

Sure, but only if the purchase adheres to state laws where the resident lives in. You can’t leave your state and buy a gun that’s illegal at home. Here’s the ATF’s explanation.

That’s a myth - It’s a felony offense for gun stores to sell guns to non residents of the state they’re in.

Just to clarify, the FOID approval process is effectively performed in every state for any gun purchase. It’s not like the FOID background check carries more scrutiny or anything. If a Texan resident can buy guns in Texas, they could get a FOID card if they lived in Illinois.

And it’s federally illegal to sell guns to non-residents of the state the sale is made in, so Chicago residents can’t buy guns in neighboring states. Indiana and Wisconsin residents could bring guns into Chicago, but that alone is highly illegal too.

What exactly do you have in mind?

If they cared more about making our society safer, they’d pay teachers more, build more homes, quintuple minimum wage, make education cheaper or free, actually tax the rich, reign in corpos, reform the police, abolish for profit prisons, make healthcare affordable and accessible, remove money from politics, just to start.

But nah, virtue signaling is way easier and is clearly enough to get them re elected, so let’s ban 3D printers baby!

Not all his videos are privacy focused but Louis Rossmann is a good right to repair and privacy advocate. Very entertaining to watch when he gets irritated haha.

I’m not Russian so I have a limited perspective of this, but I remember people pointing out good indicators that the invasion was really going to happen during the weeks leading up to it, like how the Russian military was setting up field hospitals along the border. Obviously, hindsight makes reflecting on this difficult, and I’m not sure what information was available to Russian citizens at that time.

Not to distract from the content of this article, but why is journalism so poor now days? Almost every sentence/paragraph in this article says “she was a victim of childhood marriage,” just worded in various ways. I appreciate the background info on the origin of these laws and the the discussion of how widespread this issue currently is, but this article could be reduced to 6 or so sentences without losing any information.

I’m in the same boat as you OP - a tongue tied adult who’s considered treatment a few times before.

I’m not sure of all the benefits there are to getting it fixed though, other than being able to lick [icecream cones] with competence. I also can’t roll my Rs which made high school Spanish miserable.

I’ve read that recovery is rough the first few days after surgery, and I’m sure we’d have to relearn how to talk to some degree. This tradeoff doesn’t seem worth it to me, so I haven’t gotten it fixed.

Besides, it’s a fun conversation piece if I ever need it.

What’s that?

Your plastic is jammed. I think the clicking sound is from the extruder moving, but since the plastic is stuck, it compresses a mil or two before springing back and compressing again.

Your jam might be in the hot end. Heat it up really hot, pull the plastic out, and clear the nozzle with a fine metal pin. If that doesn’t fix it, you might need to replace the nozzle and reseat the bowden tube against the nozzle, making sure the end of the tube is cut very straight and perpendicular.

Hope that helps! This happens to me too from time to time.

How easy is it to move user data and software to another distro if I decide to change it up?

60 years ago, US citizens could mail order guns to their doorstep and shooting clubs were common place in schools, yet mass shootings like we see today were unheard of. Violence in the US has slowly decreased over time, just as it has in other western countries, but gun violence hasn’t dropped at a faster rate than that, which indicates that gun control hasn’t impacted gun violence. Increased gun control =/= decreased gun violence.

The European countries that people point to as counter examples to this don’t have mass shootings or gun violence because gun ownership is nearly or outright impossible. Gun culture is vilified, self defense is basically illegal, and owning a gun (in countries that allow it) requires so many hoops to jump through that it’s hardly worth doing. Some people feel this level of government control is a good thing, but it’s inconsistent with the US 2nd amendment.

If the goal is to eliminate gun violence, then guns need banned. The US can’t do that without amending their Constitution. Gun control that maintains ownership will never eliminate gun violence, so calls for more gun control will never stop.

In order to maintain gun rights and decrease gun violence, people should ask what changed between now and 60 years ago.

During my senior year of college, I made a burner Google account for my girlfriend and I to use with apartment/property websites. We needed a place to live after graduation, but neither of us wanted to use our personal email addresses to make accounts because fuck 'em.

The last year of engineering school requires completing a design project, typically for real business owners. My senior design team and I had a weekly video chat with my clients where we gave progress updates on our project.

During my video call the week after I made this burner Google account, the first thing my clients say is “OP, what is wrong with your name? It says something very strange.” I had no idea what they meant by this, so I shrugged it off and the meeting continued.

Later that week while I was driving home from class, what they meant finally dawned on me. I forgot to log out of my burner account before joining the video call, and the name I gave this account was “Joe Lickembottom.” So instead of my real name shown under my face during this meeting, Joe Lickembottom was.

This may not sound that bad, but one client is a self-made Texas rancher sorta character, and the other is a retired Navy SEAL commander. These people meant business and were dead serious the whole time I worked with them.

But hey, they offered me a job after graduation so they must’ve not thought too much of it haha

I love how people will blindly support nuclear power plants so strongly that any argument made against them is automatically called propaganda.

My power electronics professor told us the same thing you did, that nuclear power plants are dead because they’re too complex and expensive to maintain in the long run, and that renewables are the better choice at this point. Maybe this will change as fusion reactors improve, but we’re probably decades out before industrial fusion plants start showing up, if they ever do.

Go to the bathroom and hudge a big 'ol grumpy
