Never thought I’d spend as much on the wool socks I have… yet here I am.

For good reason. It’s basically a speed run of enshittification from day-one.

The Spanish Inquisition!

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.

What do you call someone who speaks one language? An American.

Don’t underestimate their tactic. For the republican presidential campaign, they will recognize only one of two outcomes: victory, or election tampering/fraud/manipulation. And, the wider the margin of win, the stronger the rhetoric will be.

Bonus points for those really thin microfiber types. You wring them out as you go to get the majority of water off your body, the rest air dried quite quickly after that.

House of Leaves reference?

There are ones with clauses that say “cancel any time” and then when you actually try to cancel they make it a substantial pain.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned the film Gattaca, which is centered around genetic identity.

In preparing to get my ticket in 2020, I hopped on the Utah WebSDR and even got a shortwave listener (SWL) QSL card from a guy in the Cook Islands (E51JD).

Earlier this year I made a two-way QSL (contact) with him using my rig and 100W.

There’s a ton to learn, do, or accomplish if you want. So many facets to amateur radio.

I’m working on CW now!

There’s a whole other section on defensive driving, I’m certain of it.

In this case, you’d be expected to exercise reasonable judgement on whether this UFO may be developing into a hazard. Four-ways on, and pull to the side of the road if it’s safe to do so.

Your last sentence is the answer. Your driving manual probably says “drivers must yield to other vehicles occupying a lane”, which in your example would be a UFO.

Lede:

Under a local law, drivers are supposed to be paid even for the time they spend between trips. But Uber and Lyft found a money-saving loophole: Simply prevent them from logging into the apps, erasing some of their working time from the record.

Planned obsolescence hidden behind a “feature”.

In ten years, when they want to pull the plug on this game, they will cite dwindling users and “exorbitant” per-user maintenance costs.

They don’t want playable legacies. They want something they can leverage for nostalgia marketing in 20 years, and if you break out the original game, they won’t make any money. Production companies want you to buy what they are offering today, because it pays for new yachts.

Luden’s cherry cough drops for me. I can eat them like candy, and honestly they probably are.

Sounds a little like you’re describing an interrobang: ‽

Nice! Thank you for that!
