You are lucky. My mom used the same dishes we used ourselves for the cat food and would rinse them off in the sink with a sponge. And she used a different dish every time so no bowl or plate in the house was safe. Made me feel icky eating dinner out of a cat food bowl but she thought I was strange for caring.

We had an “automobile hairdryer.” On school mornings after I took a shower and was being driven to school, I would lean my head up towards the dashboard and have the A/C blowing full blast to finish drying my hair. I would do this every morning in elementary school. Probably not very safe now that I think back on it.

I’ve had this happen with iCloud. Deleted stuff from the server and then it keeps coming back. There was a problem device not getting the memo to delete and kept re-uploading the data. I had to sign out of my iCloud account and sign back in my devices to fix it.

The article says it is technically impossible to develop in a womb, though I’m not sure why.

Wow! That is surprising to hear.

If they contribute they can be equal? We don’t even say the same about humans.

LibreTube for Android. YouTube just has too many ads.

I have thought about getting a Boox e-ink tablet but currently just read ebooks on my phone. It’s hard not to get distracted though with other apps installed.

Help make a nearby town super attractive to tourists. Maybe they will flock there instead.

#3 sounds interesting. What advice would you give to someone to figure out if they’re currently in a #3 situation or not?

Yes, and also the inverse: everything to fear (just watch the news), so let’s stock up on surveillance

I like learning about this stuff too. I’m curious what is the point of encrypting a hard drive if it just automatically decrypts on boot? If someone stole your computer couldn’t they could just boot it up and have an unencrypted drive?
