I have found that if I hug the kerb, the overtakers driver side wheel barely kisses the centre white line. If I get in the middle of the lane, they generally wait until it’s safe to pass and then get both sets of wheels over the line. Added bonus of some room between me and the kerb if I need to take evasive action.
Work is an interesting point. Maybe working with a computer (a till, a barcode scanner, a stock checker, a multimeter) will be the thing that gets people scooped up and compliant first - even if you are using a work device, on a work network, on the business premises. If you want the $10 an hour: “gotta scan your ID, or you can’t activate the wafflegrill”
Reminder that 80% of people don’t read past the headline - most people will believe the lie even if they only see it here. News outlets know this, so the headline should be “Trump breaks the law and commits election fraud with false claims about payments to voters” or whatever.
Richard Branson is on a big AstroTurf PR tabloid inch buying jaunt following several recent exposé on apparent similarities between Branson and Jeffrey Epstein. This might be why he keeps emerging from his nonsense island to do photoshoots and hunt virgins enemies (like Eurostar)
One of the three hit a fire hydrant and a tree before the battery ignited. The flaming prison cell on three wheels is not the expected behaviour following a minor road traffic accident either: “In this total nightmare scenario, the doors would not open, and the driver couldn’t break the Cybertruck’s “armored” windows from inside”
Rickyism 101: “supply and command… you need supply, I command you not to”
True. Although I like how the headlines referring to the product as “pervert glasses” combined with headlines like this one leave little room for nuance. I hope the next logical step is for users to be forced to say “not all pervert glass wearers are sex offenders”. Embarrassment, shame, and ridicule is a better enforcement tool than any government action or restriction.
They are very common in the UK - flexible bollards are widespread here to prevent damage to vehicles after the inevitable collisions. Using them to separate cars from bike lanes is also common - and says the quiet part out loud: https://startsafety.uk/collections/flexible-bollards
Sorry - I meant “permission”, not cookie. If this is on (for Bluetooth headphones, sharing content, smart home etc) you could be leaking your location. If your partner shares their location, and you don’t - but you do allow your phone permission for nearby devices - your partners phone is revealing their own location, and their proximity to to you (your location). Third party cookies can be relevant for this because they allow browsers to identify/differentiate other users on the same network. If one user shares their location (or their location is known by the site they visited), then the other users on the networks location is also obtained.
One of the most pernicious cookies is the one that allows them to identify nearby devices. Even if you do not allow location specifically, consider exactly how much location data can be pieced together from that alone. It’s impossible to overestimate the amount of data they have on you.
Very good point. We may as well have that beer instead of the occasional sugary drink. Similar carb count to tax ratio.
Genuinely what of the damage to our parents generation? They are susceptible to dangers and manipulation and other dangers on social media. If we all agree that social media is probably a bit shit - shit enough that we should protect children from its harm - then why should we not enact some protections for everyone else too?
You are in a fortunate position - you can make stuff available (this is nice and generous) while hardly having to upload anything. Consider joining a private tracker that gives you credit for TIME seeded, not Gigabytes of seeded material. Then just keep the stuff you download in the download folder for a long time before moving it/deleting it.
Maybe the bill will get an amendment. Maybe a 2nd amendment is required.
