Yes. Please list things that a sitting federal politician can do when both chambers of Congress and the presidency are in opposition party control, which are not purely performative nonsense

There are two types of people in the world…

People who need closure…

“Never trust a tech worker” they said, using a device designed by a tech worker, running software designed by a tech worker, accessing servers maintained by a tech worker, on a hosting service implemented and managed by tech workers, through an internet service provider employing tech workers galore.

honestly it gives me disappointed big sister vibes

Good lord I desperately want to know what is going on here. Where are they? What are they talking about? What is their relationship?

I am so curious!!!

As others have mentioned, and you’ve no doubt discovered, this is a fairly complex issue that varies from app to app and service to service.

So let’s take this piece by piece:

1. Is there an app that can automatically choose options within my other apps to deny tracking/disable telemetry collection? - No, and even if there was, I wouldn’t use it. Unlike websites where they are relying heavily on a well-known standard - browser cookies - to store and retrieve statistics about your behaviors, apps are running code locally on your device that can do much, much more than your browser can. They have their own configuration formats, varying UI designs, etc, that make a “one-size-fits-all” solution difficult, if not impossible. Further, any app that tried to do this would likely need capabilities that are risky, like full screen-reading and arbitrary app interaction, access to all other apps’ storage space, etc. There’s just too much danger there for my comfort.

2. Will DNS blocking help? - Big ol’ “it depends.” If telemetry collection is happening through separate internet traffic to known telemetry/advertising endpoints, yes. These are common for smaller apps, where they need to use third party services instead of rolling their own solutions, but bigger companies like Facebook or Twitter¹ will often bundle their telemetry with other service-critical traffic so you can’t block it without crippling the app.

3. So what now? - I recommend LAN-wide DNS blocking via something like Pihole over the VPN providers (if you’re only looking for DNS blocking, and not request origination obfuscation) because it gives you much tighter control over what is and isn’t blocked, what block lists are used, etc. Of course that requires some tech skills to get set up and maintain it. Then default to using browser-based websites over apps.

I’m going to try to give you an actual answer to your question as I believe you intend it …

First: Let’s agree that the question being asked is NOT “did chickens or eggs exist first?” but rather “If chickens lay chicken eggs, and chickens are born from chicken eggs, and any egg not in this category is not a chicken egg, then is this not a paradox? If there was no chicken, how could a chicken egg be laid? And if there was no chicken egg, how could a chicken be born?”

The “real” answer: What this question actually demonstrates is a weakness in language. It is an ambiguity in the term “chicken egg”. It leaves open for interpretation by the listener what a “chicken egg” actually is, what makes it a “chicken egg”. On the one hand it could be “eggs produced by chickens”. It could be “eggs from which chickens hatch”. It cannot actually be both; they are different, though in practice only slightly. So the answer changes based on how you define “chicken egg”.

My “best effort” answer: If I want to try to answer the question literally, I define “chicken egg” as “An egg which, if allowed to hatch, reach maturity, and breed, will likely produce another of itself (i.e. another chicken egg).” In which case the answer is clear: the chicken egg came first. There was a proto-chicken, something very much like a chicken but not quite a chicken. It laid an egg with the genetic mutation that made it a “chicken egg” instead of a “proto-chicken egg”. And thus began chickens.

but who would ever frown while wearing a ball gag? 🤔

CPBGP

Constant positive ball gag pressure

But that might cause confusion with internet routing standards and US presidents where CPBGP stands for “Child Predator Border Gateway Protocol”

I apologize for this incredibly specific and terrible nerd slash dark humor joke

it is 100% a CPAP mask. you can see the other strap mark arching toward the top of the nose, and the mask mark across the bridge of the nose.

but yes, I too hope I’m wrong because ball gag would be way better funnier

source: am CPAP wearer, have strap marks, don’t own ball gag

poison is vile, killing cats is vile, I see absolutely no problem here >.>

Yup. Turns out he was super wrong though and existence is just that fucked up at the quantum level

no, the vile of poison and radioactive particle connected to a device that breaks the vile when it detects the particle’s decay is what makes the cat’s state probabilistic. Otherwise it’s just a cat in a box

Nasty hobitses did not mention radioactive particle decay or poison vile! Cat is just dead dead dead!! Suffocated, starved, sensory deprived cat!

Answering YOUR question:

This is common with disposables and low-quality cartridges.

What’s happening: some of the “oil” (which is really more like wax) is getting pulled/dripping into the airflow channel, and when it dries between uses becomes too solid to be cleared easily, blocking airflow

To prevent it next time: don’t “chain vape”. Take one, maybe two hits tops and let it cool fully before using again

What to do with this one: You can’t really fix it unfortunately. So when you experience this, do quick, short, hard pulls repeatedly until it clears. You’re trying to activate the coil so it heats up the oil/wax until it’s soft enough that air pressure can clear the blockage temporarily

DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.

This is a nearly impossible to prove in court, unless she was appointed as his caretaker due to being unable to care for himself.

The major issue is that proving intent is impossible in your scenario and lying isn’t illegal. Nor is failing to set appointments or provide over-the-counter medicine if you haven’t been granted some form of guardianship.

You need to explain what prevented the husband from seeking his own medical care. If he was capable of seeking care and didn’t, even if she lied about the availability of the care, it will be very hard to prove that her intent was his death. You would need to prove that a) she told HIM that she had set up appointments etc or that they weren’t available, b) she knew that blocking him from getting treatment would likely lead to his death, and c) she actively interfered with his own attempts to seek care

The best you could hope for would be something like involuntary manslaughter, negligence, reckless disregard, or something like that

Nothing implied by that, just couldn’t help but notice.
