The woman with dark hair is Kennedy. They look vaguely similar I guess, but that is not Tarlov. Like, if you can’t tell by appearance, listen to clips of Kennedy and Tarlov. They do not sound the same.

That’s Kennedy or whatever her name is, not Jessica Tarlov.

Fighting the good fight

Why are there a bunch of random people just hanging out in seemingly the middle of nowhere lol

You can use Google Fi if you install sandboxed Play Services and give it a few permissions. It’s not as private as it could potentially be, but it’s still presumably better than stock.

Also, IMO unless you really need the international features, Google Fi isn’t worth the price since US Mobile, Visible, Mint, etc. exist.

They have some nutty interpretation that when the amendment was written the writers didn’t mean for it to apply to everyone. Basically it’s something like the children of noncitizens owe allegiance to the country of their parents, so they don’t count. The bit they’re trying to use is what prevents e.g. children of diplomats from gaining citizenship.

He met his last wife, Trena McCloud (1957–2012), when she was 12 years old and in eighth grade and he was 35. He raped McCloud repeatedly. McCloud’s parents initially opposed the relationship, but McElroy threatened them into agreement by burning down their house and shooting the family dog.

Bruh wtf

I mean, not to absolve America of anything, but it’s not like the rest of the world hasn’t been complicit in burning paradise either.

Well, white people and apparently Latino men.

Honestly, it looks kind of terrible to me. Not to mention how unreadable text is since there’s apparently no guaranteed contrast with black text due to the transparent backgrounds. I feel like I’m going crazy with all the random articles praising it.

“He’s just joking!”

I was expecting it, but I’m still disappointed.

Where did you go? I’ve been considering it, but I’m not sure where I’d want to live since it feels like the world’s on fire.

The problem with the battery is that it’s glued in and requires basically destroying the foam it sits on, with no available replacement for the foam or specifications given AFAIK.

Also, if we’re just talking anecdotes here, I have at least two Nintendo devices from the 2000s that ended up with swollen batteries. This has actually reminded me that I might need to check again.

I mean, it’s clearly not meant to last decades given the battery situation.

I’m guessing it’s to protect the rice farmers, since if the price decreases enough, they’ll have to either produce other crops or do something else entirely. They’re already having enough problems with people moving to cities, so I doubt they want to create even more incentive.

I’ve heard of some blockchain based systems referred to as decentralized cloud before (including stuff like Sia and Storj, which I guess is what OP wants). I haven’t looked into them that much, but IIUC they push most (all?) controls and so on to the edge. I’m not sure I’d use them though since the networks aren’t super large.

PLA/PAP Casualties

Summary is a truck flipped over, supposed friendly fire incident with a non-uniformed soldier, and a heart attack.

According to the linked page with PLA/PAP casualties, there were 15 verifiable deaths (PRC official number is 23). Half of them weren’t directly caused by the protesters, and the other half occurred after troops first opened fire. Truly, I feel quite radicalized.

• The location functionality has significantly improved recently since it no longer relies solely on GPS, but yeah, it could still be improved.
• Generally, I’ve found the apps that tend to have problems with exploit protection are games, VPNs, and banking apps (which is probably the sort of app you’d most want exploit protection on…). I’m not sure if I’ve ever had an actual problem with other apps honestly.
• While NFC works, Google Pay does not. Google needs to basically certify the OS for it to work, and they refuse to do so (monopoly gonna monopoly). Basically, this means if you’re in the US or some other country where Google Pay is pretty much the only payment option on Android, NFC payments don’t work. Some places in Europe at least have NFC payments available through banking apps though, so if you happen to reside in one of those countries and your bank has one of those apps with payment support, you should be fine.
