This might be oudated, I've heard there is a new vaccine that's easier. But historically, the rabies vaccine has involved multiple very painful injections, and cost thousands of dollars.

Well, with the constant enshittification of literally everything, this might actually be a sound strategy. Buy everything you can today, because the only thing available tomorrow will be way worse.

If one wants to work from home, they will, just not at your company, unless they lack the ability to get a new job.

This reasoning seems suspicious. Why would farmers choose to use futures markets if it doesn't benefit them?

I'm "involved" in plenty outside of work, with an active social life, including regularly meeting new people, volunteering, and more. I can't remember the last time I got a legitimate phone call except from work. It&#x

In a storage business no less. They literally had one job: to know how to resize arrays, so the rest of us don't have to.

Venmo is usable on the web again as of at least a year or so ago. Not sure what changed their mind.

My phone was $150 brand new and still works acceptably over 3.5 years later. Software updates weekly thanks to LineageOS (firmware updates are another story).

Shoplifting removes an item from the store's posession and is theft. Copying an ebook doesn't remove any copies the publisher has, which is why it's not theft.

What societal recognition? Most people I know that much are in big tech, finance and corporate law. None of us pretend to be of any value to society (thankfully -- that would be insufferable!) $20k is not quite enough, but I can tell you th

The question is how many people making 200k will, given the option, take the free 20k and not work, therefore paying no taxes.

I'm not concerned with that. I bought the phone for $150 on ebay and intend to use it until it becomes unusable; it's a Pixel 4A 5G, the last one with a headphone jack.

This is awesome, thank you! I am a noob at soldering but I have done a tiny bit before. Maybe I can get this done after all!

I think an airport is probably one of the least worst places: a very public place with lots of witnesses and cameras, plus its own relatively relaxed police force. If you have a flight to catch, of course, the calculus changes but once that

IANAL but I think unless you are arrested, a handhold in and of itself would be illegal?

If they are airline employees and not cops I'm not aware of any way they can detain you, short of a citizen's arrest which usually requires them to have observed you committing a felony? In this case I would just declare that I&#x

LineageOS and other custom roms do not and cannot do this -- they are dependent on the OEM for firmware and kernel updates. Once those dry up, you get Android updates but ultimately the device remains vulnerable to lower level attacks.

Wait, what encryption would iOS have used 15 years ago that's now unsafe? AFAIK Android has always used dm-crypt (should be familiar to any Linux user) with AES, which I'm pretty sure is still safe. Back then I think maybe it used
