The sad part is that some people have unwillingly had their DNA shared. My parents both did it without me knowing so now they already have my information too.

If the timing is better and it’s cheap enough I’ve taken an uber to avoid 30+ minute bus waits before.

The problem is that if the profitable routes are private, who will run the unprofitable ones? This is effectively siphoning money away from the profitable public transit routes placing more of a burden on transit agencies.

That being said, even if it’s 50% cheaper than a normal uber I doubt anyone will use it.

Browsing this post on China Mobile now, everything is working fine.

Personally I wouldn’t trust it even though so far there have been no problems playing online with official firmware on a modded console. It’s possible they could detect it in theory and Nintendo does not take unauthorized use lightly, even if you purchased the game and Nintendo online subscription legitimately.

And the same people who are likely to vote for whoever his fascist successor ends up being.

They’ve gotten a bit better with this lately I think. Although it has certainly gotten slower over the years, my A52 4G is definitely still usable despite being released over 4yr ago as a mid-range phone.

It’s definitely a bandwidth usage thing, given their reputation for being informal in communications they could have been a lot nicer about that.

It’s really disappointing to see this from them, they were one the best priced VPNs out there claiming to respect privacy. Their support was also super helpful with my questions about their datacenter static IPs.

His “math” for calculating each is surprisingly simple and not based on anything “reciprocal” https://youtu.be/j04IAbWCszg

Normally Trump does what’s best for the ultra wealthy, but de-dollarization of the world economy appears to be good for nobody in the USA. I have no clue what they’re trying to do, I suspect he’s just lost it and there’s nobody left to tell him these tariffs hurt his croneys too.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re already too far along to save the dollar’s position globally. Globally that’s probably a good thing, but for any of us in the US it’s decidely not.

Ya I don’t know about other people’s maintenance teams but I avoid calling mine whenever possible. They always get mud and dirt on the carpet after they enter, but more importantly I don’t like people I don’t know entering my apartment while I’m not there.

Has anyone seen customs ever actually search an electronic device before? I travel internationally nearly every month and have never seen this before, even in China.

Ya at least you can opt out of overdraft entirely unlike the banks using your money for irresponsible ‘investments’. I have no idea why anyone has overdrafting active on their accounts beyond it simply being the default option, even for a $5 fee it’s a total scam.

This is absolutely not my experience. Usually the libertarians I talk to are first and foremost contrarians who don’t want to appear politically mainstream but also usually haven’t thought too hard about politics before.

Thank you for clarifying that this removes the requirement to spend the money where it was allocated. This answers my question and could indeed be worse than a shutdown.

Most MAGA Republicans would rather a shutdown than giving in to Democratic points. The alternative wasn’t Democrats getting one or two of their points in the budget in exchange for it passing, the alternative was a government shutdown.

I fully agree that when the Democrats have power they do absolutely nothing with it, but in this case I fail to see how they could have gotten any of their points in.

So although passing this budget was obviously terrible, how is it worse than no budget at all? No budget followed by a government shutdown would be the ideal case for Trump and Elon to take yet more power from Congress. The Democrats aren’t in any good position of power right now so expecting the budget to include any of their priorities is unrealistic.

Polish grocery stores generally have it in the UK.

Moxie is significantly sweeter (and more offensive imo). I wish there were options for lightly sweetened sodas elsewhere but Kofola is the only one I know of and it’s quite limited in availability outside of Eastern Europe.

Seriously this. Every single IC which has digital logic contains some number of undocumented test commands used to ensure it meets all the required specifications during production. They’re not intended to be used for normal operation and almost never included in datasheets.
