It's also in the The Cask of Amontillado. Great word, ejaculate.

Most people have already pointed it out, but I must say, I don't recall the last time I ordered pizza and didn't use a coupon.

Incognito mode keeps your browser history private, and that’s pretty much it. If you want more privacy, you’ll need to add Tracking Protection and maybe even browse through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. Incognito mode can’t.

I met a man from France who said that the French spoken in Montréal is "real French." I was pretty shocked to hear that.

Ahh the halcyon days of downloading one song from a private FTP server with upload ratios, found by Lycos FTP search. Over a modem, natch, so it took about 50 minutes...and that's when your mom didn't kick you off the internet so she could make a call.

What app/website is this from?

We had an IT person quit this year because we transitioned to fully remote after they closed down the office in December 2020. He couldn't handle working from home.

It was specifically about the Christian God because all others were "obviously" incorrect. It's terrible logic because it discounts:

  1. God somehow doesn't know you're believing in him "just in case" rather than because of actual faith.
  2. The wager implies that you should be an adherent of the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.

It does seem like the TL;DR of right wing Israelis is "Hitler was right, but his only problem was that he was killing us."

I've read plausible explanations that when your company is a meme stock, you need the thing that makes it a meme to stay around lest the price fall to reasonable levels dictated by market demand.

In other words they gotta give him the money or else the fanbois will stop pumping up the price.

The climate activist thing they did pursuant to a warrant, which every company will do, and the only thing of interest they turned over was the person's recovery email...which was personally identifiable. From there the authorities got everything else. IIRC, they got access to the person's iCloud. None of the person's emails or anything like that was given out. If you are strictly concerned about privacy you shouldn't use a recovery email so that your login can't be tied back to you.

As far as the service, I am using Mail and Pass daily and like both. I use the VPN and Drive sparingly, but I have enough space on it to stop using my Google Drive. Calendar is useless for me because of the lack of CalDAV support... and also because I can't have many calendars on the free plan.

It hits the sweet spot between privacy and ease of use for me. YMMV.

 

Not the Onion, but still great satire.

 

Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all.

Apparently other trans candidates had their petitions accepted with no problem.

Looks like the Senate bill has gotten better. There is some good and some bad. They're cutting back on home grow and max potency for extracts. They're expunging all convictions on possession of 2.5oz or less, and I think most importantly, allowing people to buy from medical dispensaries for recreational use. Right now, it's legal to possess, but illegal to sell. This should fix that loophole.
