Idk why I’m going to bat for the dude, because he’s clearly a tool, but my phone probably has a photo of my SO’s ID if you dig hard enough

Woulda been something like a “I’m buying plane tickets for our vacation, what’s your passport no.” kind of situation. Or her: “left my wallet, what’s my DL# so I can pay this parking ticket”.

Not certain anything is there, but weve been together long enough, I’m not certain it’s not there either.

ETA: Maybe also “were going on vacation, state department recommends keeping a separate copy of our passports in case something happens”

I recognize long term relationship is different from mistress, but still

Lol wut?

The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.

“Crypto” is such a vague term it’s almost comical to imply it’s private. Sure there are ways to use crypto privately, but it takes a lot of steps.

Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.

“Septic safe” is a pretty loose definition, and usually means “this will not break anything” not “this will naturally break down into something that is not harmful to the ecosystem outside of your septic tank”, but it’s usually a good start

Most powdered detergents contain high amounts of salts which aren’t particularly good for anything downstream of your dishwasher.

I’m unsure of a salt-free dish detergent, but I can gleefully recommend Oasis Biocompatible Laundry Detergent for everyone, but especially anyone with a septic or greywater laundry system. It cleans great and breaks down naturally into plant food.

Jokes on them, my phones stupid fingerprint reader only works about 3% of the time. They’ll get frustrated and give up before finding anything, I know I usually do.

New OS is a waste of resources, but it would be great to see them embrace something like GrapheneOS

I clear them a reasonable amount away from my house, because they may not be litter but they are a fire hazard where I live. But they still get to naturally decompose in dedicated spots.

I get the joke, but also I was shocked to see in the article:

Thunderbird for Android runs on mobile devices running Android 5 and above.

Who out there is still running Lollipop?! That came out over a decade ago. You can’t even get Thunderbird through the Play Store because Google Play Services dropped support for 5.1 back in July. I have so many questions.

Trump’s Environmental Claims Ignore Decades of Climate Science

The other bits are simply repetitive.

That’s what, ~5 million tons/yr CO2e? That’s on par with the operating emissions of a large business - just for the “air” to fill a single product

Can you elaborate on your request? What feature is it lacking that other browsers deliver on?

Cool story bro. I once ate pineapple while watching a Golden Girls rerun.

Looks like someone out there had the same idea.

They’re currently selling a packaged system for ~$5k, which is a bit pricey, but maybe worth if you’re full time on the van life. Looks like you could probably fit 2 of these units on a typical roof, obstructions permitting. Alternatively you could do one tracker and one flat unit.

It looks like ground based 2-axis tracking systems can be found for ~$500-1k, you’d just need to bring your own expertise to mount it to the roof and program the controls yourself.

Semi-unrelated: others mentioned painting your van white (which you already have) but I’ll raise you one better - consider painting it with an IR-Emissive cooling paint, e.g., https://i2cool.com/

There’s unfortunately few products on the market at this time, but keep your eyes peeled.

That’s… That’s the… Well nevermind…

Remember kids, everything is a data mining trap. Be sure to submit your resume with zero PII, and at least 1024-bit encryption.

I don’t know folks… It kinda seems like carbon capture might be a scam propped up by polluters who just want to get away with a few more years of destroying the environment to maintain business as usual.
