Thanks for that.

I can’t see how this could possibly go wrong . . . except in every possible way.

If by “for a while” you mean “until I’m dead” . . then yea, sure. Any other definition . . no chance in hell.

Ironic . . as I use a burner phone when traveling to the USA.

I drive an MGS5 EV - MG is a British brand, but it’s manufactured by SAIC Motors. Every bit a Chinese company. I traded a VW ID.4 for it . . and WHAT AN UPGRADE. Better across the board - faster charging, longer real world range, much, MUCH better software . . . all for 25% less than the ID.4.

Jim Farley is right to be terrified . . . Both the American and the German legacy car companies are screwed.

I was on a Southwest flight years ago coming into Chicago Midway. Part way thru the descent, an AC pack on one engines burned out, filling the cabin with smoke. The plane went into a slightly steeper than normal descent for 90 seconds - smoke, a diving plane . . lots of screaming and crying. And then something I’ve never felt on a plane again - a humid and strong wind blowing on my face. The plane levels out, the captain comes over the PA and apologies, says we just dropped below 10,000 feet . . . and he opened the window in the cockpit to blow out the smoke. Except for some stained underpants . . we landed uneventfully 15 minutes later.

What the F took you so long???

Anna’s Archive is the correct answer for the ebook source - an amazing resource.

Me personally, I ditched Kindle for a PocketBook years ago. Founded in Kiev, moved it’s HQ to Switzerland, all their models are based on a Yocto Linux platform with the default file format being epub. Highly recommended!

1,000 times this. Rot in hell.

You mean a convicted rapist and frequent flyer on Epstein’s pedo jet doesn’t have the best instincts? Shocked . . shocked I tell you.

If you consider the Tor network as a “cloud without the storage” . . then OnionShare does everything you need - with no fixed file size limit.

/e/ OS is not a Linux based OS. It is a fork of LineageOS, which is a fork of AOSP. I run /e/ on a FairPhone 3+.

So weird how those same laws of physics do not exist in China.

Was there no window nearby??

Second vote for Pinta. About the closest thing to paint.net there is for a Linux desktop . . .

There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.

Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books- Four Futures:Life After Capitalism

It’s a quick read . .and highly recommended. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/59-four-futures

It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.

You rather made my point - everything about morality is relative. There are no moral absolutes - it is up to your (and my) prospective. For the record, I do wrestle with my employment there . . . yes, we did stop many, many Russian tanks. But I also suspect other systems have been used in Gaza by the IDF.

As for speeding and taking out Musk - 100%, sign me up for that moral tradeoff right now!!!
