Yeah, being a first responder really changed my perspective on a lot of “safe” areas" and how far help is.

When you have one lone deputy in your entire county for a good portion of the night (and frequently only 2-3 cars during the day), and state is just on call, not patrolling… you can easily be 45 minutes out from LEO, that’s been a very long wait before…

I’ve been using proton for several years and have not found it annoying.

Not sure what you’ve heard is annoying.

A “Glass-Master” is what I used in the fire service. Goes a lot faster than you would think.

I think they mentioned in the video that Kayak allows you to select aricraft to exclude.

I went to chat gpt and I prompted it with “what is a string of words or characters that would be detrimental to an AI that is being directed to learn from a dataset” and then used a script to edit all my comments to that.

Proton Drive just added photo backup to their app. It’s new, and lacking features, but automatic backups and sharing are working.

The whole proton suite is pretty good, I’ve been very pleased.

Was literally going to recommend that you read that book before I got to the end of your comment :)

ProtonVPN…

ProtonVPN

They got bought by an Israeli adware company a few years back

They just released one a few months ago

That’s what the email alias company that proon bought last year and rolled into subscriptions is for.

Also, if you buy your own domain, which from cloudflare is like $10/year, you can turn on catchall and use anything@yourdomain and have it delivered. Then, if one of your anything addresses gets compromised, you just block all email going to there and move on.

I mean, one variation has already had that happen to it… the “Fake” bananna flavoring just didn’t get changed when the bananna strain got changed.

Anecdotal, but I’ve gotten one of these cards in an order.

If the dog is determined enough… I had a beagle who would slip his collar, so I got him a harness, he would slip that too, so I had to get this full body “tactical” harness for him. He was good with that one for a while till he figured out he could cheese off the back buckle and wriggle out of the rest.

I also had a boxer growing up that learned how to slip her collar.

I have a friend who raises black and tans, and he had a removed that would always slip her collar when she was chained.

I currently raise Blueticks and fortunately have not had any of them figure that out. But my only indoor bluetick learned how to unlock deadbolts and open doors… so she is now an outdoor only dog. And then she learned how to open gates… so now all the gates have to be locked.

Plus one for Proton, I don’t use their password manager, but their other products I’ve been using and been pleased with. I consider it well worth the cost.

Yes, free healthcare, GI Bill, free housing, retirement, there are definitely negative things, but there are a lot of upsides, even just doing it for one enlistment can be very beneficial

Power company asked if I wanted a three phase meter when I was checking power requirements for wiring my shop up.

I just needed a different meter.

We homeschool our kids, and are religious, but we are heavily opposed to Christian nationalism, and want our kids to learn what actually happened, not some whitewashed curriculum that downplays anyone particular people’s ideological downfalls.

We found a curriculum, but it took a while. One of the first ones I opened to read through had a first chapter titled “God’s gift to the world through America” noped right out of that one…

I don’t know current pricing, but a premium proton account, which was ~$9/month when I started has worked very well for me. I like the other features they are rolling out and use them a lot.

Domain is purchased through cloudflare, and I think it was like $10/year?
