This is an example of learning the wrong lesson from a mistake and consequently passing it down.

If the mistake is having a kid too early, the lesson should be "If you're going to have sex, be properly prepared with someone you trust to actually be on the birth control they say they're on"

Not "no sex until marriage"

Because debit and credit use the same systems and machines. Check needs a whole different system and machine to process the transaction.

Who cares anyways, checks should have died LONG ago

Old people do. I get a cashier's check from time to time, but I don't consider it anywhere close to the same as "writing" a check

I don't know what Verizons deal is with it honestly, but T-Mobile hasn't gotten in the way of it, they've even carrier unlocked phones for me that were still on a fresh payment plan for it.

Always best to buy directly from the OEM

Not everyone can afford that you know, and I find those budget/mid range phones insufferable. I'd buy one as a matter of last resort only.

Code enforcement for commercial properties is one thing, a simple traffic citation is another.

The responsible party is usually whoever is driving. In the case of self-driving taxi services, like Waymo, the ticket should go to the company the vehicle is registered under.

Which is super easy to pull up, so easy in fact that other automated enforcement mechanisms, like tolls or red light cameras do this with rental companies all the time. Rent a car and go through some tolls or trigger a red light camera and you'll get a bill "forwarded" to you in a month or 2.

Never heard here either, I'd say RuneScape is more popular, so this chart is basically invalid LMAO

Irrelevant, these people will find their way into folders they have no business in and no idea what it's doing and break shit

It's a big reason MS started hiding the windows folder after Win 98 (maybe 95)

however, officers have to give them to the company that owns the vehicle. Doing so is “not feasible,” according to a Phoenix police spokesperson

That's gotta be the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard, you write the ticket up, and you mail it to the company.

I'm pretty sure Labour is like our center left

conservatives center right

reform is our far right

Liberal Democrat is our far left

The rest are what we would write off as "third parties", except they actually get some representation across the pond lol

make Russia the villain at every turn.

They attacked a sovereign country unprovoked as part of some world domination plan, they're literally the villain

The tree is an adjoining neighbors backyard with large branches that come pretty close to my house (Though there is a sizable gap, if it comes down under the wrong wind direction...) and are actually touching another neighbors roof.

If it is unhealthy, is it recoverable? I'd rather not have them cut the whole thing down (it provides a lot of shade for my backyard (well, when it's healthy that is lmao)) Should I talk with them directly (I don't really know them, at all) or let the city know?

With Google Workspace cracking down on storage (Been using them for unlimited storage for years now) I was lucky to get a limit of 300TBs, but now I have to actually watch what gets stored lol

A good portion is uh "Linux ISOs", but the rest is very seldom (In many cases last access was years ago) accessed files that I think would be perfect for tape archival. Things like byte-to-byte drive images and old backups. I figure these would be a good candidate for tape and estimate this portion would be about 100TBs or more

But I've never done tape before, so I'm looking for some purchasing advice and such. I seen from some of my research that I should target picking up an LTO8 drive as it's compatible with LTO9 for when they come down in price.

And then it spiraled from there with discussions on library tape drives that are cheaper but need modifications and all sorts of things

I like to let Spotify leave my playlist and just have it play whatever so I can add new songs to my playlist.

But from time to time it'll play songs from some religious band (Usually Christian rock or Christian rap or something). The annoying part is it'll sound pretty good, until I start paying attention to the lyrics and then I realize it's a propaganda song lol and have to block the artist and move on.

Anybody know of a good list of religious artists on Spotify so I can write a script to block them ahead of time? (Or even better an existing FOSS project to do just that lol)
