That’s not exactly true. It really depends on what you’re trying to protect yourself from.

If you’re running an ARR stack, The Pirate hunters out there are going to end up empty-handed at a half decent VPN in a foreign country. But if you’re doing something that will draw the ire of the FBI, CIA or secret service, it’s a little more than a speed bump.

Many local ISPs basically hand the keys directly to law enforcement without so much as a warrant. Most of the VPN providers will at least put up a minor fight to stay in business.

And you feel so incredibly dense every time you run into it and you can’t figure out what’s going on. The crank on my kids bike was out of whack the other week and I kept tightening it down and it kept coming back loose. I was turning the crank one way to tighten it which was pushing it against the lock nut but it needed to turn the other way to be pushed against the bearing before I tighten the lock nut down. If it was all right-handed it would have been clear what I was doing.

If it weren’t for the temperature limitations they’d probably perform reasonably well over a decent period of time.

It would be interesting to see their performance compared to just printing bushings.

You’ll also notice it’s gold colored. Direct homage to trumps tastes.

There are USB cables that do this now. Air capped machines need to be better about sanitizing USB.

Duck duck go is particularly bad at local searches and business data.

Back before Google gimped their own searches, Google was better at finding one-off things.

I’ve moved to SearXNG, which still makes my local searches suck, But the results are usually much better than DDG.

It’s not going to burst, it’s an incredible marketing opportunity that will invade our privacy until and unless we make it illegal. Every screen, camera, vehicle, tool will call home and report everything about you so that the company that sold you the item can make a buck.

Ancient voltmeter for children

I just watched that yesterday for the 97th time.

I have a long involved horror story that led up to me needing a root canal that I decided not to post here because it probably isnt nteresting to anybody but me.

For the most part, a root canal is kind of minor. They numb your gums where they’re going to inject a numbing agent, then they inject a numbing agent, worst case they go a little nutso and try to inject a few places in there but the pain is there and gone in 5 seconds. If at any point you feel pain they can do a better job of numbing you. Honestly, any pain caused in the numbing process goes away pretty quickly when they successfully do it.

They poke around, there’s a little drilling, some bad smell maybe heat maybe cold a lot of spitting out little sandy chunks of debris. If the tooth is still in pretty good shape they just pack it back up and you’re good to go.

If you end up needing a crown there’s a good bit more drilling a good bit more spitting a good bit more smoke. But it’s really just the same thing prolonged.

It won’t kill you, it will annoy you and it’s marginally unpleasant, The anxiety of being there in the anxiety of not knowing what’s going on is much worse than the actual procedure. Meditate, chill, roll with it you’ll be fine.

There will be financial repercussions with the car. They want to sell that data, if you’re going to deprive them of that, they’ll expect recompense.

I’m more concerned with the things we had a few years ago that are now gone, and the new fascist hand me downs that are popping up everywhere.

I have no lack of proper test equipment, this is actually kind of nice because the kids can use it easily without trying to wrangle a battery and two leads.

Works fine on my rechargeable AAs.

Just an inch thick plastic box with a perspective drawing sticker on top of it, But the box is shaped to fit the perspective drawing.

Oh noes, somebody said something positive about Tesla! Get 'em boys!

Seriously though, I would like to see some legislation that made them offer connectivity free models. All the connectivity crap should be opt-in. If you don’t opt in they don’t connect the SIM card.

I get it, but we already brought most of the communities and content over…

Not equal, but at the same time you don’t want to collectively just shit on all your farmers, although, they don’t seem to have any problem shitting on us so maybe?
