I think piracy was a real problem for international shipping in the past. Now there are some areas with disputed territory where the US Navy does Freedom of Navigation Ops to keep trade running smoothly. https://en.wikipedia.org&

I leave the apps uninstalled, and only look at it when bored at home. no need to look at this throughout the day.

If you can improve the general signal/noise ratio I think that'd be big for advertisers. I think it's one of snap's strengths actually.

I do think that would work but I think twitter probably could detect bot actions if they wanted to in a more nuanced way. Swarms of new accounts making similar comments has to be detectable on their end.

ah, sidenote! I watch NFL too. Generally local games are blacked out so you need to watch them on the local broadcast via antenna or a cable. I do find this annoying but I have an antenna pretty much for that reason.

Steam charges by the game and often times you can find whatever you want on iTunes or Amazon video if you're willing to "buy" the movie/tv season. Why do you limit yourself to content that comes to you from a subscripti

hmm, yeah, wow, I kind of assumed USDC transaction costs would be low, but I'm reading they can be kinda steep like eth.

Well, it's USDC which is stable and probably is less of a headache to deal with than ETH/BTC. I suppose if not very many people use it, it might not be worth the engineering time to maintain it though.

Eh, I think it's okay to give kids chores to do from time to time. They can pickup something fun for themselves too.

yeah, most things are pretty fixable if you're willing to spend some time and buy some tools. You just have to keep an eye out for situations where you need a real pro. Especially if it's some kind of electrical thing.

yeah I think I'd rather keep using my daily contacts and put on some non-corrective AR glasses.

I started realizing that I wasn't picking up that much of the tv/movies that I'd have on in the background. I tend to do one thing at a time for the most part. Sometimes with background music but mostly not.

Yeah, more or less. Rising commodity prices will eventually hit Americans though and they may not be tolerant of this in the long term.

Well, bitcoin still needs a point of entry. To buy, most people go to their bank, transfer to an exchange and make a trade from fiat to btc. If western banking decided to ban this kind of exchange it'd be pretty close to a bitcoin ba

I think this is more of a dead mans switch and not replacement for individual authority. I would not be surprised if something similar exists somewhere in the US defense system actually. I'm sure there were individuals in the Soviet

I mean at this point I don't really care and I don't really mind. Before I enter a business I look to see if they have a mask required sign on. I don't mind putting one on in that case. If I walk in and I'm the only one

You say that you'll put on a mask to browse books. But you walked into a bookstore without one. You say you'll put on a mask if asked. But they did ask. Politely, as you noted. How would you have preferred that they handled tha
