Women have enough problems with unwanted male interaction, not to mention so many lies about women’s anatomy. This makes it so much worse.

In this hypothetical, men switch from having a sexual interest in women 52/52 weeks a year to 4/52 weeks a year. I would expect a >92% reduction in “unwanted male interaction”.

I’ll take the entrails of a priest.

Convince Biden to drop out of the race about a week before the Democratic National Convention, citing health reasons, and name a millennial candidate who grew up on a farm with wind turbines and solar panels, before enlisting for 2+ terms, and moving to a middle-class area of a blue state after separating. Turn the convention into a media frenzy, energizing the Democratic base.

Undercuts Trump among rural Americans and veterans. Reverses all of Trump’s old and senile attacks against Biden, as he suddenly becomes the geriatric candidate. Keeps all of Biden’s supporters, while stepping away from the “genocide” criticism.

Basically, if Biden backs out a week before the convention and names someone in their 40’s, they can run on a platform of “Ok, boomer” and reach 270.

Is there anything you have done for which, if I had done the same actions, I would be irredeemable?

Is there anything that you have done, for which if I had done, you would expect me to jump into the volcano?

Feel free to judge yourself just a tiny bit more harshly than you would judge others. But only slightly. Give yourself as much of a break as you would give me after expressing remorse for my actions.

Apple has an overly authoritarian business model. They strictly control every aspect of their ecosystem.

Apple long ago alienated the kind of people who would get upset about spying, LLMs. They either never entered the Apple ecosystem, or they left it decades ago.

Pilot here. I’m (supposed to) use only current VFR sectional charts, and they are only considered “current” for a 4-month window.

The scenario you describe actually demonstrates my point. Where anonymity is “illegal”, the only entity you can trust to protect your privacy is you.

That fact does not change when anonymity is “legal”. That fact does not change even when anonymity is mandated. Even if it is a criminal act for me to make a record of who is accessing my service, that is only a legal restriction. It is not a technical restriction. You can’t know whether I am abiding by such a law at the time you are accessing my service. A law mandating anonymity doesn’t actually protect your anonymity; it just gives you the illusion that your anonymity is being protected.

The relevant difference between your scenario and reality is that in your scenario, nobody is blatantly lying about whether your privacy is under attack: it most certainly is.

The inherent flaw is thinking that “privacy” is something that the courts are capable of providing. They aren’t. The most that government/courts could possibly do is make it illegal to generally and indiscriminately retain IP address records. But that only protects you from law-abiding privacy invaders; it does nothing to protect you from criminals who would use that information nefariously.

When you take adequate and appropriate steps to secure your privacy, it doesn’t actually matter what the courts have to say about “privacy”.

There is an IOS app for hot air balloon pilots called “Hot Air”. There is a similar app for Android that… Leaves much to be desired.

There’s several functions that are needed. First, we need a map. We need to be able to enter waypoints and/or polygons charting landing zones, prohibited zones, targets, etc. we need an easy way to select targets, and our bearing and distance to those targets.

For planning purposes, we need a bearing line that we can place and move on that map. We need to be able to easily drag and drop each end of the line, and get the bearing and distance between the endpoints.

Next, we need track recording. It should record a ground track during flight, preferably with altitude information, and notes about the flight.

Next, a wind map. The wind speed and direction varies considerably by altitude. It needs to record direction and speed as we climb and descend, telling us what altitude has winds favorable for our current target.

Bonus points if we can prepopulate that wind map with data from a “pibal” (pilot balloon; a simple latex party balloon released and tracked with compass and stopwatch before a flight)

Next, coordination with other pilots and ground crews. 3D location sharing between participants; wind map data shared between pilots.

True. You’d be giving up a bit of convenience for a bit of compactness. It wouldn’t be too bad with three separate tubes for Allen, Torx, and Phillips/flat/square

Don’t worry about the accuracy of the specific diagnosis. Focus on whether treatment is effective.

The treatment options are the same for many similar conditions, so even if the diagnosis isn’t quite accurate, treatment can be effective.

Also frustrating: not all treatment options are equally effective, not all individuals have the same treatment expectations, and diagnostic science is not able to reliably and immediately predict the best treatment for your specific circumstances. It can take weeks or months to find a combination of medication, diet, mentality, routine, and lifestyle factors that work for you, and those can potentially be disrupted by factors as simple as the changing of the seasons.

I don’t mean for that to sound discouraging. I am only trying to manage expectations. You are very likely to see some positive changes, possibly large, probably small. You’re also likely to experience some side effects, possibly small, probably large. The objective is to continuously adapt and tune your lifestyle to maximize the positives while minimizing the negatives.

Yes, because of your childish edit.

I wasn’t the person to whom you are referring. My downvote is for your edit.

Ah, yeah, I don’t have that problem. If I have someone in the car, I just turn on the radio instead of the Bluetooth.

But, I could pop up what tasker calls a “scene” when a text comes in, which would ask me if I wanted it read.

Tasker.

When my phone is connected to the audio system in my car, any texts that come in are automatically read aloud.

In my experience, android auto has always been a flaky nightmare.

I’d prefer a decent phone holder instead of a screen in the center console, or at least a solid place to mount a holder. A couple 1/4-20 threaded holes in the dash would be awesome.

I’ve got a decent adhesive mount phone holder that I stuck to the top left corner of the infotainment system. Because fuck that screen with a rusty shovel.

I think the rate of matter creation is going to be important. I mean, if I can manifest rocket fuel faster than the engine can burn it, I’m going to be pulling 7g’s all the way to mars.

I agree on the legislature, but not the court. The legislature has to plan for the future. Their age should be below the average life expectancy. They need to have a foreseeable future for us to allow them to plan ours.

I would resolve the instability of the court by eliminating its fixed size. One new justice shall be appointed every other year. In the odd-numbered years, between election cycles.

This will tend to increase the size of the court over time. The average term length is currently about 16 years, but that is with strategic retirements. I would expect the average term to increase to 24 to 36 years, leaving us with a court of 12 to 18 justices.

You’re thinking of “floss”.

Foss is loose debris on an airfield or flight deck that can get sucked into an engine or blown into something important.
