   Oh god I have this problem with my firstlast@outlook.com address. I have a common english name so get the emails of other people from all over the world. The worst are subscriptions and regular invoices. I had to give up using the address.

   Huh? Are phone numbers tied to physical sims in your country? You can't just ask the phone company to give you a new sim with the same number?

   I don't understand why everyone is talking about the cars when the bigger issue is why the critical infrastructure (lights) don't have batteries for backup.

    No such thing was proven. You received a downvote automatically for suggesting that you'd get one for expressing a view.

    The BYD Shark 6 sells for US$40k in Australia: https://bydautomotive.com.au/shark-6 There's a 100% tariff on top of all the regulatory and political hurdles that prevent BYD from selling in the US, but it shows that a

    It was not happening on a daily basis on Twitter before Elon Musk. The endless flow of racism and bigotry on that website is a choice. It's convenient to blame the amorphous thing "social media" instead of the actual people r
