I hope you don’t mind, but I was inspired!

I love it!

This is one I made the day he was caught, it still makes me giggle.

Mr. Biden said if Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self-defense.

And if Israel breaks the deal then the Lebanese people have a right to self defense, too.

“Remember, no Russian”

“I have a plan, Arthur”

“Pheromones.” “Do I smell beef?”

It means you’re still in consideration.

I know when I’ve hired in the past, if I like the first person I interview I still try to interview at least one more person so I actually have a choice. If I don’t like someone I’ll immediately let them know.

The only time I’ve ever had my food stolen was when I was working as a deckhand on a tug. I’ve been working white collar jobs for the past 25 years and haven’t had to deal with it since.

Also, my solution was to spray degreaser on my food the next day and wait to see who complains. Turns out, I’m the one who got in trouble for that even though I put a ‘do not eat’ sign in the food.

When China, the US or Google do break encryption they aren’t going to announce it.

I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.

You’re surprised that a privacy and security advocate and essayist with a large online following would have people who would take his advice on which social media platform is best for security and privacy?

Exactly!

I don’t hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.

I rented that game 4 times and never made it past that level. I’m convinced that no one ever did because it was an unfinished game where they just made the last level they had impossible to pass.

Me.

I followed him from Twitter to Mastodon, even though he didn’t exactly endorse Mastodon. If he were to endorse a platform I wouldn’t think twice about joining.

Until they restructure the way OpenAI did.

I’ve installed Amazon’s app store, and FDroid and never had an issue. Are these not considered third-party stores?

Out of curiosity, is there a reason that this couldn’t be an Android app? I would think that there should be some way to check a cable’s functionality by plugging it into a phone and a computer.

I had video but no audio.

It needs another frame showing that feudalism never went away. Capitalism is just a way to walk us all back to feudalism.

I saw a similar thread on Reddit about 12 years ago and one of the suggestions near the bottom that didn’t have any comments on it is something I’ve incorporated into my daily life and it has made a huge difference: Adjust your car mirrors so you have no blind spots.

Most people have their side mirrors adjusted where they can see a portion of their own car in the mirror. This leaves you with large blind spots. To adjust them where you have no blind spots, sit in the driver’s seat and lean your head over to the left as far as you can (basically putting your head on the window), then adjust the driver’s side mirror to where you can just barely see your car in it. Then lean your head over to the passenger side about the same amount and adjust that mirror.

When adjusted properly if you can see a car in your rearview mirror, you shouldn’t be able to see that car in your side mirrors, but as soon as a car is no longer visible in the rearview mirror it should be visible in one of your side mirrors. Then when it is no longer visible in your side mirror it should be in your peripheral vision.

It takes some getting used to, but once dialed in and you’re used to it then it makes changing lanes a breeze. It also helps at night if someone behind you has bright lights because you’ll only see them in one mirror instead of all 3.

If you don’t want to pay for a pool then don’t move into a neighbor that has a pool. If you don’t want to have an HOA, don’t move somewhere that has one. If you don’t like how the HOA is run, volunteer to help run it.

What you don’t do is hold up the rest of the neighborhood that actually wants to take care of things properly.

The change to the dues required a change to the bylaws, which required 100% participation in voting, and required 60% approval. The change passed with over 85% approval. Most HOA dues in our area are $600 - $1000 per year, and many of those don’t have a pool. There are also many places around that don’t have an HOA.
