Yes. We got married a little over 3 years ago. We originally were planning to get married in the spring of 2021 but Covid changed our plans from being a larger wedding to one with just immediate family.

Then the venue we picked for the new wedding plan decided to close until the spring due to Covid about two weeks before the day.

We threw together a home wedding, just us, our parents and our siblings with their families. We loved our wedding though, it ended up being perfect! We were both in our 30s already and smaller just ended up being right for us.

We did keep our original wedding date and hosted a reception type of gathering for friends and family at a nearby park. That way we still got to party with extended family and friends.

Good to know, glad you take advantage! Amazon is one of several companies I avoid on ethical grounds but I fault nobody else for shopping there.

I was mostly being facetious, I try not to use Amazon. My wife does off and on and has used a free trial 3-4 times a year.

The trials are 30 days (in the US) and years ago, 4-5, I would just use a throwaway email and do a new trial every 30 days to keep Prime. Not sure if they guard against that at all now or not.

I always sign up for the free Prime trials just so I can get the satisfaction of cancelling.

Same with coffee. I believe it’s actually caffeine that can work as a diuretic.

Yeah! What a terrible job they’ve done raising those bullies!

No, that was a potato… or a beet.

Thank you for the reply! I hadn’t consider the regulation around the government as the purchaser.

Wyden, who released the Dec. 11 letter, called upon U.S. intelligence officials to stop using Americans’ personal data without their express knowledge and consent, saying it was unlawful

Anybody able to explain how this is unlawful?

Is there a restriction on intelligence gathering agencies that would apply?

I don’t believe this is right or fair but I’m not clear on how it’s illegal.

Thanks! Subbed and posted!

I’ll sub once it’s moved. I don’t know that I have .ml blocked yet, but I know I debated when I blocked others.

I can only imagine. You guys get that lake effect cold and wind. I’ve seen it a little in Duluth, I can only imagine what it’s like in a city nicknamed the “Windy City”.

Never. I have had some hard starts when I’ve owned older cars but I’ve never had it not start.

My biggest issue was actually my first car with the headlights. It didn’t chime to remind you they were on and those didn’t turn off automatically. I had to tape a reminder to turn them off on the steering wheel because I killed the battery a couple times.

Still, winter performance wouldn’t stop me from getting an EV. It’s probably be a bonus because when it’s super cold out who wants to go anywhere? Good excuse to stay home.

Sorry to hear that! You might benefit from a battery tender or one of those jump starter devices like the Halo.

I had to jump my mother in law last week and we might get her one as a birthday present. Her situation wasn’t directly cold related though, her negative terminal was super corroded. Ended up needing a battery and the terminal cable replaced.

I’ve lived in Minnesota for decades and I’ve never had an ICE not start in the winter.

That said, the cold weather performance isn’t enough to stop me from getting an EV. The same general rules apply for all vehicles in cold weather climates, which is to always have an emergency kit just in case.

There was a time though when I commuted 35 miles one way to work and the charging parking spots were always full when I got there. Range loss would worry me a bit there but in that case I’d buy a hybrid and plan for full EV on the next go round.

We all know it’ll never fully go under

No, it likely won’t, and part of that is also because of who’s invested in the company’s success. Just another example of “too big to fail”.

Just like Amazon who is a cloud computing company with a side hustle in e-tail or Google which is an ad company with a side hustle in tech.

In general most people don’t really understand this about big companies.

God, I hope the wrench has access to less of the network than the employee.
It’s an IoT device.
You never trust IoT.

Hahahahahaha!!! Does solarwinds123 sound familiar?

Best practice ≠ real world application. Based on my 10+ years in IT I’d be very unsurprised to find that the networked wrench has greater access than the person.

Sorry, I assumed the context was obvious, but it’s hard to hack a person standing there turning a wrench.

What’s easier to hack? That person standing there turning a wrench or a network connected wrench? Especially considering the points you made; the wrench turner probably has access to less than the network connected wrench.
