I experience the “search box deselected after starting to type” problem on Amazon pretty much every time I use it, even if I have the page up for several minutes before starting to use it. Its like the search box.is specifically designed to fuck with me.

Multiple platforms, multiple browsers, it’s like they dont have anyone actually looking at their UX.

Umm… There is one glaring flaw here:

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.

Pretty sure all the humans left Reddit like two years ago.

The reality is that “tactical” and “strategic” are functionally meaningless adjectives when applied to weapons or systems.

Theoretically, “tactical” refers to how a military unit engages another military unit. It is how a commander wins a battle against an enemy unit.

“Strategic” refers to how a nation engages another nation. It is how a government wins a war.

The term “tactical nuke” referred to something that a lower level commander could have been authorized to use under his own judgment. If Soviet tanks were rolling across Europe during the cold war, commanders may have been granted the discretion to use small nuclear weapons to halt their advance.

Since the the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction was established, there has been no such thing as a “tactical” nuke. Any wartime use of a nuclear weapon of any kind demands an escalation to total annihilation. I used the term “tactical” ironically, to refer to a pre-“MAD” doctrine that can no longer exist.

In declaring that conventional bombs cannot penetrate this fixed bunker, it seems that someone is pushing for unconventional warfare. The reality is that this bunker is not impenetrable. It shares the same weakness as any bunker: getting into and out of it. Bomb the entrances to the bunker, and it will take months or years to tunnel back in. Whatever they are doing inside it, they won’t be doing until they manage to dig it up again.

Coreium.

We drop an overloading nuclear reactor on top of the complex, and let the radioactive core China-Syndrome itself straight through, rendering the entire area uninhabitable for thousands of years.

Sounds to me like someone is trying to justify actually using a tactical, atomic bunker buster.

You dont have to switch phones entirely, and you’re better off if you dont. iCrap is still far worse than anything Google is coming out with.

Just switch to a different dialer/phone app to replace “Phone” and a different SMS/MMS app to replace 'Messages". I’ve used “Should I Answer” in the past for my default phone app, and I currently use QKSMS for texting.

Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken.

I bet this guy knows how to play Mario Kart.

Open source with profanity in comments is statistically better than code without it

Wat. Do you think there’s like a L1.5 or something?

There’s the option of a level 1 charger at home, supplemented with an occasional stop at a fast charger.

The L1 charger is not quite enough to keep up with their usage, but their usage isn’t enough to make an L2 absolutely necessary.

Can you cite a time stamp? I don’t want to watch a 30 minute video.

I’m very curious where “42 amps max” comes from, as NEMA outlets are rated for 15A, 20A, 30A, 50A, or 60A. 42A is a rather oddball number; I’d like some context for it.

Most dryer outlets are rated for 30A, NEMA 10-30, or 14-30.

So you don’t accidentally get interested in a bullshit paywalled article.

Smartphones are far too valuable to our efforts to be left at home. They are the difference between personally observing law enforcement atrocities, and being able to prove them. The media isn’t covering the protests. We need as much video as we can get. We need to be able to coordinate efforts, passing along troop deployments and numbers.

While our main phones and accounts are probably linked to more information than law enforcement should ever be allowed to touch, burners add too much to our efforts to seriously consider not bringing them.

Ideally, that burner phone never goes anywhere near your home or any place you frequent from the time it is acquired until the time it is destroyed.

Briar is a good messaging app for you and your group. It will work (to some degree or another) over bluetooth even after they shut down the cell towers. Keep posting information about law enforcement deployment numbers and locations.

Airplanes.live provides unfiltered ADS-B data, useful for identifying and locating law enforcement aircraft, including drones.

For uploading media, choose overseas fediverse instances for your account, which are not subject to US law, and won’t get shut down or raided by US law enforcement if you upload something they don’t like.

I’ve been suggesting this everywhere: pick a dozen different protest locations, and share your list with everyone you meet. If and when law enforcement deploys in force at your current location, leave for another. Force them to constantly redeploy to multiple locations.

They mix the mind control chemicals straight into the jet fuel. The pilots don’t even know they are complicit in making chemtrails.

Turn signal or not, you shouldn’t be pulling out in front of them. You should be assuming they are turning into a driveway after the intersection, or that they mistook your intersection for the next one down the road, or that they left their turn signal on from a lane change 5 miles back.

Turn signals are lies until conclusively proven otherwise.

I want to equip my vehicle with an annoyingly loud external speaker so that when someone near me does something dumb, I can personally shame them.

CB radios often had a “PA” switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood.

I’d prefer a “FlameThrower” button next to the horn.

Ah. I see. They are emitting a green light, so I know they’re braking, and it’s OK to cross.

But, it turns out that they’re planning on turning into a driveway past the intersection, and not into the intersection I am crossing.

That’s OK. I can check “impersonate a hood ornament” off my bucket list.

We already have this problem with turn signals: there are circumstances where it would be confusing and dangerous to use them in the manner prescribed by law, and to avoid dangerous ambiguity, they should actually be used much later than the law specifies.

YOU SHOULDNT GET IN FRONT OF ANYTHING YOU ARENT SURE IS STOPPING

This, exactly. This “plan” sounds terrible to me.

No, I’m not braking to turn at the intersection you’re sitting in. I’m turning into a driveway just past that intersection. If you pull in front of the green light the government says I have to have on my vehicle, I’m going to t-bone you.
