You're unrealistically optimistic. The earth will cook us off the face of the planet along with 90% of species. It's starting now and will take a few years to really get moving.

Don't worry, we don't have long enough left to institute an insect food delivery system of any note. Pretty soon the bugs will be eating us.

How about not innovating with people's lives at stake? What a bunch of insufferable douchebags.

It's been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

I had absolutely shit parents so no I don't really sound like them. I had the classic "Bad 70's Dad", I couldn't be like him if I tried.

Like an episode of Alone, but without the planning, support and logistics.

It was sarcasm.

I did find a service but the part about being male doesn't help much. I left a message and never heard back. :( I get it, I'm just disappointed my fellow men have such a bad reputation.

Porque no los dos?

Your state leaders sure think it is.

I think you nailed it.

 

Everyone's favorite Gen X edgelord teenager finally gave our generation the visibility it deserves. We now have our very own branded shitty alt-right social media space.

Abortion Uber? (self.losangeles)
 

I'm looking for a group that helps assist women from other states coming to LA seeking abortion services that don't want to use their car for identification purposes. Several states are asking for license plate information from various police agencies in California and it appears they are providing it. Is anyone putting together a matchmaking service for people that wish to help ferry women from and to the airport or to an abortion provider? Disclosure, I am male but I believe in every woman's right to reproductive services.

We are now "in charge". (news.yahoo.com)

Uhhh, sure about that figure? I mean, social media certainly doesn't rank high but I don't think a plausible majority would do without the internet entirely, and few would roll back every benefit they receive from it.

 

The Ballpark app requires a ton of personal information, way more than I expected. To wit: Full name, Email address, Password, Street address, Telephone number(s), Birth date, Payment data, IP addresses, Location data, Contacts (as stored in your wireless device), Demographic data, Device data, Usage data, Voice recordings, Audiovisual recordings, Information about your interests and preferences, Data specifically requested in relation to an activity or an event (e.g., emergency contact information), Data provided by Other Companies if you choose to connect your use of our services through the Other Company’s service, Personal information of a child if and only if a parent or guardian provides the child’s personal information; and

  • Sensitive personal information*.

This is all required in order to go to a game, all tickets are distributed through the app. There are workarounds, I said I don't have a smartphone, and they allowed it using an mlb.com account. It's tedious. Perhaps this is an indication of what our future looks like, it becomes increasingly difficult to navigate modern life without giving up all your data to prying apps, corporations and data brokers. This is just to go to a game, there's no opportunity to print out tickets, show a generated QR code, bar code, nothing. You must have the app to attend a game.

Ask a beekeeper (self.beekeeping)
 

Hello, I am a 10 year beekeeper and bee remover. I've taught hobbyists and removers the ins and outs of beekeeping for awhile now, and I've gotten to the point that I feel there's very little that bees have left to teach me. I deal with a more southern climate, not much overwintering, and my bees are partly Africanized, like the local population. I can answer questions about hobbyist beekeeping as well as strategies for removal and relocation. Have a problem you can't quite figure out? Bees being a bit mysterious to you? Having trouble with a particular hive? Want to know more about what gear or woodenware you're working with? Hit me up here!
