Data privacy is a concern of mine.

Car makers see technology as a data mining opportunity to force us to use their shitty infotainment systems to track our every move and interest, and then milk us with subscriptions.

I use a Merkur safety razor, but most often I use a commercial shaving cream like Gillette as I don’t have the time it takes to break out my brush etc.

I look at it as I get the benefit of cheap, close shaves, without the longer process of using my brush to lather up. Maybe if I had a nice badger brush I’d feel differently.

As for the blades - Astra are a good general purpose blade I like. Feathers, as someone else mentioned, are wicked sharp, and require extra care.

Moving from cartridge expect to take some time to get the technique down. You can’t go as fast.

Enjoy!

This makes me very sad. Poor animal.

If someone at a US consulate/embassy told you not to worry about the selective service because of your age, it’s probably fine.

Good luck sorting out your tax situation. My kids are dual US and Canada and haven’t had to pay any US taxes yet as there is a tax treaty between the two countries. It has been expensive for me to pay someone to file the US taxes though.

One other point, assuming you are male, you were supposed to register for the US Selective Service at the age of 18. There are potential serious consequences for not doing so.

You can contact them and explain your case. Or maybe you don’t need to now as you are past age 25. They are easy to contact and speak with.

I know people in Canada who have gotten letters from their ISP via torrenting.

I didn’t know that part. Even worse.

And yet again no one will be held accountable.

Phoenix was a disaster too. No one’s fault there either.

Will try this tonight. Thanks!

Is Tubular an Android only thing? I can’t find it. I’m still looking for an iOS solution.

Same. The shipping was still 2 days or more to my location. No point.

Watch the Donnie Dunphy video Havin a Time

I saw this and was like wut?

Thanks for the Finance context. I figured they ran numbers and decided to go ahead anyway.

It’s sad that being public also encourages companies to act in ways that aren’t ethical as long as it maximizes shareholder value.

My Prime subscription renewed in Dec. I didn’t know about the ads arriving. So yesterday I went through support and cancelled my subscription and they agreed to refund what I paid.

If they want to change the membership terms on renewals it’s their right to do so, but changing the terms of an annual subscription after I purchased it is unethical to me.

Use the Canvas blocker extension. It will randomize your fingerprint. So the test will say you have a unique still, but it is random every time.

I just bought this same board, same switches but the silver black colorway.

It’s my first mechanical keyboard - kind of excited.

Definitely a differentiator

Walled garden aside, I think they do care about privacy and security.
