Wills aren't required and not everyone will have one.

I think the best course of action is to have a trust set up and have all of your assets under the trust. That's how my attorney set up my end of life tasks. It saves you problems with probate and taxes while also giving you flexibility if you want to change things.

The micro transactions alone should knock this score down to a 2!

While not as flashy, FreeTaxUSA provides a nearly identical experience for the base price for free and additional DLCs are a fraction of the price as Turbotax.

By being as opaque as possible and by trying to make privacy look like a dangerous forest.

Yeah but this is Trump. He's going to delay, delay, delay, delay until whomever is suing him runs out of money.

Or he'll settle and never pay.

The only way we're going to see Trump face any consequences is when our judiciary grows a fucking pair.

It's been ages since I've done any serious science schooling so I'm hoping some random Internet people can help me out.

When evolution like this occurs, it's typically not one fish right? The idea is that several fish develop a trait that is beneficial that leads them away from water (or whatever), which they thrive in, causing them to reproduce with those same traits.

At what point do scientists say that enough change has occurred that they are a new species?

Kamala, on Battlestar Galactica, having a serious conversation with Commander Adama on whether to tell the fleet about cylons that look human.

I think it's more of "we pay Microsoft (or any company) for this. Make them handle it."

It's that kind of thinking that makes shit like the crowd strike problem possible.

I actually think a 20% return is modest. She literally has her finger on the pulse of the economy. She should have done better.

Not saying I condone it but if you're going to crime and get away with it, as least go big.

OP, you may be in lawyer territory. Not to sue the insurance company, though it may come to that.

A lot of these companies will give riff raff (you and me) the run around.

But once an attorney enters the picture, they have to get their attorneys involved and typically corporate attorneys aren't cheaper than one you hire. So the incentive to resolve the situation quickly is higher.

At least for a short time. So a short phone call from your attorney to them will often get the attention of the right people.

So this is the kind of comments that makes by brain itch because just dropping this kind of information makes it sound plausible. I did some digging.

In 2021, Newsguard won a just under $750k contract with the US Air Force for "Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences". I thought this was odd because Newsguard doesn't seem like a research institution as much as it is a news rating site.

Digging into their contract FA864921P1569 and it looks like what the USAF purchased was "Misinformation Fingerprints".

This was a one-time purchase, charged as equipment.

The USAF had as much influence over Newsguard's 1A rights as I do when I complain to Nestle to stop stealing all of our water.

I didn't trust Google enough to torrent but definitely used it on my pixel while traveling. Especially when at relatives houses. I don't need my DNS requests being logged by their router.

I very much felt like you: it's a convenient feature-add for something I was paying for. I did not use it for privacy. I used it for convenience.

Which goes to show that there is a huge chilling effect when it comes to our legal system.

But in the case of lemmy and the fediverse, the old adage applies: The fediverse sees censorship as damage and routes around it.
