Same as it always was.

What about us mid-Gen X, that were excluded by the Boomers and are very much not millennials?

“And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”

Hi, Millennials! Welcome to the party! Now you know why we’re constantly viewed as having a chip on our shoulder, being angsty and feeling like everyone ignores us.

Of course, you’re also going to ignore us and take the reins from the Boomers. We have no illusions there.

• Gen X.

So what’s to stop a network from spinning up a subsidiary MVNO to handle their pre-paid plans and only allocate limited slices to them?

Because it seems like with a bit of paperwork, this would do a total end run around these guardrails.

This is only the case if these changes actually cause a dip in sponsor revenue.

Personally, I like the ones that mimic old-school TV and radio, where the product/service placement is woven right into the show, and there’s a direct relationship between the presenter and the advertiser.

The entire ad brokerage ecosystem could vanish tomorrow and I’d be very happy.

It was also built in to all stereo systems long before that. Not that LPs ever had ads, but I could dub to tape off the radio and then fast forward through the ads.

This just in: wisdom tooth removal does not cause autism. Neither does forcibly removing fingernails.

I mean, they’re all things not to do unless there’s a medical reason for it? But while doing it has consequences, they generally have to do with personal (dis)comfort.

That said, I’d be upset if someone tried ANY of those procedures on a baby, as they’re all unnecessary on infants.

The thing I find interesting here is that it’s essentially a commercialization of what’s been done in army, police, gang and extremism recruitment for the entirety of history; the tools change, but the methods stay the same.

I fully support both of their viewpoints.

You don’t want to artificially limit kernel contributions as a whole, but on the other hand, most of the areas in the kernel are better off without the additional work of maintaining slop at volume.

Where is the digital ID required? Because they can’t suddenly require that all computing devices in existence support it.

Is it only for accessing major social media websites? Only for device sales?

Because it seems to me neither of those will make a significant dent in use of older devices; might even drive more people to the Fediverse.

Who’s to blame?

The malicious cyber actors.

Potentially, the government of Iran, and by extension the US government for provoking them by directly attacking Iranian municipal water systems.

This is the key bit:

Apple held ⁠early talks with CXMT, which ​is China’s largest chipmaker by market ​value, about supplying components with the goal of using them in some devices sold ​in China, the report said, ​citing people familiar with the matter.

Let me ask a parallel question:

Why don’t people wear underwear under their swimsuits?

But Danielle Smith was elected by Albertans.

The fires are predominantly in other provinces, this one being in central BC. A province Alberta has wanted to exploit without regard to its environment for years.

The sad thing here is that these wildfires may result in the current NDP government being replaced by a BC Conservative government in the next election cycle, making everything exponentially worse.

Last year, you’d be correct. This year, bots DO purchase things. They also download and run things. Some marketers have gotten wise and have adjusted SEO and general product advertising to appeal to bots.

My family all shares that birthday too, but we were born in 1932.

It’s worth also saying that “VPN” is a pretty generic term. It includes:

traditional private networks where a node network or endpoint is securely connected to a local hub network, using the Internet as a transport layer (think Cisco VPN)

Ad-hoc private bridges where two endpoints have a private connection over a public network (think Tailscale)

Residential proxy services where companies can use consumer IP addresses to exit to the Internet, looking like a consumer instead of a business (think Hola VPN / Bright Data)

Network bridges that obscure the source and destination addresses (TOR and I2P)

And THEN… the one that gets all the airtime on YouTube (and is mostly what’s discussed in this article): exit proxy services where a consumer can exit to the Internet from an address other than the one assigned by their ISP (Mullvad, Nord, WindScribe, etc.)

The annoying thing is that marketing for public VPN services often leans on features of various of these configurations where the specific implementation being sold is actually quite limited.

Interestingly, both my paint gun and my brad nailer have a regulator on them. Although it seems to be more a simple pressure bleed valve than a regulator.

I too have had mine set to 120PSI since I got it 10 years ago.

The only issue I’ve had was from the one time I forgot to depressurize when I was done and the water rusted the inside of the tank; took a few cycles to blast out the rusty gunge before things went back to normal.

I can’t even figure out why you’d want to mess with the output regulator. I guess not all compressors are built the same? Cheap diaphragm on the regulator that can’t take a bit of kick maybe? I know that can be an issue with gas regulators.

Well that’s a relief. The previous plan of just retiring the three aircraft and not replacing them seemed nuts at the time. Hopefully Sproat Lake gets three, and Okanagan Lake gets at least one.
