Are you surprised though? He's an admitted liar saying that if he needs to lie to get America's attention then he'd do it.

Honestly cold water is not bad. If that's your deal breaker find a $30 Bidet attachment and give it a try.

Used to have one that visited me every day for lunch at the office. We were friends and i would put obstacles up and then encourage him to jump onto the obstacles. This went on for several weeks until he just didn't show up one day and never again 😭

Great. But vote in November no matter what.

This happened to me last year. Bought a cs4 and cs5 design suites back when they came out. Only ever used on one computer. When i unauthorized my computer and moved it to a new one they wouldn't authorize it and demanded proof of purchase. I showed those fuckers a paper receipt from 10-15 years ago. They wouldn't accept it and required additional information to verify i was authorized to purchase the software at the discounted price from an authorized retailer. It took several back and forth before they issued a new cd key instead of reactivating mine.

I suspect the cdkeys were cracked at some point and i just had the unfortunate luck of mine being abused. Would be nice if they didn't require online authentication for a product i legitimately own though. If they are going to require online authentication then they need a more secure way of generating their cd keys.

AT&T told the SEC it does not believe this incident is likely to materially impact AT&T’s financial condition or results of operations.

This is part of the problem. They don't care, and don't think it will hurt them. Why would they? No one is holding these corporations accountable.

Not preferred pronouns. Just pronouns

Please note that the trans community no longer uses the phrase “preferred pronouns” as it implies that trans people’s pronouns are a preference, not a fact.

Op, glaad and hrc both have great resources to dig into

Exactly. Cable had contracts for X months, and everything was packaged so you couldn't just get one channel you liked.

Now streaming is splitting off into a bunch of services. That's not great but on the other hand I'm not on a contract. I can stop and start whenever i want. I spend anywhere from $12-25 a month. All i ever wanted was for cable services to be unbundled. If I'm wanting to be subscribed to every service all of the time then yeah that's going to get expensive. But if i just want to watch 1-2 shows at a time then I'm still much better off streaming than i would've been with cable 10+ years ago.

Edit: and when i cut the cord in 2010 my cable bill was $120/mo for basic cable + 1 package iirc.

Generally, a 13-year brood emerges in the same year as a 17-year brood roughly every 5-6 years, though most of the 17-year broods are not in contact with a 13-year brood, so the different cicadas are clearly separated in space. A co-emergence involving adjacent broods of different life cycles is something that happens only roughly every 25 years. Any two specific broods of different life cycles co-emerge only every 221 years.

Don't get me wrong, it's exciting that these two broods are co-emerging, but broods co-emerge more frequently than hundreds of years

If you haven't already, check out https://choosealicense.com/licenses/ . This gives a broad overview of the common open source licenses. And if you're just starting out, one of the first things you'll want to learn is that the licenses fall into either a permissive or copyleft category. You'll want to make sure you understand the difference between those broad categories.

Shortly, permissive have less to no strings attached to use their code, and copyleft requires you to retain the same licensing terms meaning if you publish under GPLv3 then someone using/ modifying your code needs to also publish under GPLv3. Copyleft licenses ensure that open source code stays open source.

Essentially. Police or anyone could report an account for illegal activity which is against ToS for all three of the services. From there the service would need to be able to substantiate the claim and then shut down the account. I've seen a few cases of proton accounts getting shut down. Proton can't read emails but they can read headers and if you've posted illegal activity in public using your proton email address or if law enforcement/ someone reports you for using proton for illegal activity then proton will be able to review headers to determine if you're violating ToS. Like a few years ago i think someone was using proton for ransomware, and proton was able to match the headers with emails that had been posted in public, and acct got shut down.

Unfortunately can't find that specific case but that was one example I've seen
