Agreed.

Also, I don’t remember all of the details, but there was an early 20th century peace treaty that some in the losing country considered unfair, and that ended…well?

Being laid into? Personal preference.

I’d guess it’s not as bad as it is in CA, but this is starting to happen in my neighborhood in Portland, OR.

Houses are getting more expensive, so sellers are getting more and more offers from wealthy investors buying them to rent them out. Since people can’t afford a home, they go ahead and rent the house (at least around us).

Its a bummer because the rent continually increases, so folks typically cannot stay there for too many years. For the renters, the rent is around what a mortgage payment would be at current interest rates, so they’re not saving a lot of money.

The house across the street was sold when mortgage rates were ~3%, so the owners are making a good amount on the house. I just happen to hate that it’s ruining our neighborhood, and I’d like more families with kids to move on to our street.

Send it up and over to the other side. Free lemon squash for your neighbor!

For the calendar specifically, you could use something like DAVx5 to sync your calendar onto your phone. Then, Google Calendar would only be displaying the calendar that’s already sync’d to your phone, and you could revoke network permissions from Google Calendar.

Otherwise, for a program that transmits a bunch of data whenever it connects to the internet you don’t have a way to finely control that.

I haven’t use a DNS filter on GrapheneOS before, but that might be able to block specific connections.

Alternatively, just make a version of the file that’s 6-8 hours log and play that every night…

ICE would fucking love this type of escalation.

So what are they doing now if not agressively revoking visas?!

For the “Midwest”, in my opinion:

• Ohio is in the Midwest (or at least the places you can order “pop”…maybe this isn’t a thing in Ohio…I don’t know…Ohio sucks…Go Blue)
• North/South Dakota shouldn’t be
• Kansas shouldn’t be
• Nebraska shouldn’t be

Cut to the Trump administration buying them all for $250,000 each.

So you admit the plot is poorly done and still decided to share it here for some reason?!

…for now.

Can you move between them in Elder Scrolls Online? I’ve never played myself, but it would be cool to walk between the locations.

I didn’t do that specifically, but one of my grandfathers was an insurance salesman and worked out of a home office before he retired.

He still had all of his things by the time my sister and I would play at their house as kids, and we would spend HOURS playing office. Typing memos to each other, cutting paper, using white out, etc.

It was actually a mistranslation. The original Hebrew can also be translated as “burning kush.”

You say objectively but really mean subjectively.

I mean, I prefer my Framework running Linux too, but the Apple laptop still has a nicer keyboard and touchpad. I hope I never have to fix my MacBook though…

“The power of Christ compels you [to get cholera]!”

I haven’t read the Andromeda Strain…I guess I shouldn’t?

I actually enjoyed 90% of Sphere, but then the ending just…killed it. Like, it comes off as if he just got sick of writing the story despite not having a way to end it.

The Sphere. I’ve never hated the ending to a book more.
