And if you have kids, freeze theirs too. It's a total PIA with paper copies via snail mail, but after the Instructure/Canvas school software breach a couple of years ago I just bit the bullet and did theirs too.

I'm in because of intertia, got one of the Lifetime passes like 10 years ago on a black Friday sale and at the time some of the alternatives were just a hot mess. I do like the DVR and EPG functions to grab TV and the dedicated music app. But I wouldn't pay $250 for it let alone $750. I saw...

I can't speak for Virginia or the other states NextEra operates in, but Florida is "regulated" (wink wink 😉) as in the Public Services Commission is all former utility employees that got a cushier job as a "regulator" for the state. To my knowledge, they have never turned down a rate request...

This too. The first responders, particularly up North where this thing doesn't happen daily, will also likely have lifelong trauma from responding and having to treat and bag up the bodies so badly damaged. A guy I went to school with did that after the Pulse shooting in Orlando and has had...

Hopefully Health Canada completes their review and approved this too. We have family close enough to the boarder that we could visit and make the two hour drive if needed. We planned to last year when it looked like the COVID vaccine by itself wouldn't be allowed. I miss being proud of this...

And thanks to the precedent set by Biden, he'll unconditionally pardon his whole family and any other minions he sees fit for everything on his way out the door so they won't ever be prosecuted even under a new, sane administration. Assuming we ever get a new administration.

The advisors were saying all along this was a stupid/bad/terrible idea, even the "sexy suicide coach" thing but Sam was over on the dead bird site saying they'd have guardrails and it would be good and blah blah blah. But the minute investors started saying the same thing, it's all "we're going...

Not that I really side load stuff that often, but if it's not even going to be a realistic option and the phone is just going to (basically) be locked down to a single app store anyway, I really can't think of a reason my next phone shouldn't be an iPhone. Apple ain't perfect either, but I...

With a fairly well-documented "loneliness epidemic" out there, I suspect a lot more people than we think could get hooked by one of these bots. Maybe not setting out like that, but in just "giving it a try" end up forming that connection. And after the AI bros have milked all that sweet, sweet...

We have a Carnival hybrid, which is actually on the Telluride frame but slightly longer than this, and it was also rated for 35mpg but I can fairly regularly get it to 36-37mpg with just around town driving, and even on the highway still 34-35mpg. Pretty impressive for a three-row vehicle that...

I could probably edit the original post, but what I meant was that (IMHO) in this case there really does seem to be a movement to do away with vaccines and let "natural" immunity happen and all that. RFK Jr. is one that seems to believe that, so in that sense I would say that "we" (as in the US...

I would clarify that with what we know about measles having measles parties in modern times not a good thing. Measles, among other things, basically resets your entire immune system back to zero. Plus some of the other possible side effects (like death). Not that chickenpox parties weren't a...

This seems like it will hit a sweet spot for general use. For its audience, I don't think the 8GB RAM is going to hinder it that much. I have a Dell laptop from 2019 with 8GB RAM that somehow wasn't Windows 11 compatible so I threw Fedora on it. It works great when I need to be portable and...

Pearl Jam tried to warn us.....Pearl Jam: Taking on Ticketmaster Edit: Ninja'd by truth serum!

And it is--and I cannot emphasize this enough --NOT the same with measles or other such diseases we're trying to bring back.

Well whoopee they're paying for actual power. So what happens to my water bill when they suck a city's worth for cooling, or my power (or heating) when they divert all the natural gas to power their own stuff. Or buy up all the turbines so my utilities have to pay higher prices to maintain...

Thanks for this! Fast has always seemed low on the download but max on the upload, consistently. Cloudflare is pretty spot on, I think, so definitely bookmarked that one.

I do live in Florida, and the Florida Public Service Commission has never once turned down a rate increase request for power or water. The members are all former utility lobbyists so they're paid not to turn down a rate increase. I will almost guarantee FPL wanted the $6.9B all along but asked...

Well, I guess when my Pixel 7 goes I'll be taking a serious look at an iPhone. Been on Android for nearly 20 years but if it's going to be as locked down as Apple anyway, I may as well go for what just works and has nearly forever support. Hopefully by then Apple will have their spam call...

I honestly have to wonder what percentage of Paramount+ subscriptions are propped up by Walmart or similar "package" deals? I only have P+ (with ads) because it's a freebie with Walmart+ and I rarely watch it other than Star Trek. If it wasn't included from Walmart I'd never pay for it...
