In my experience, hotels and convenience stores also sell stamps, sometimes called "seals" (at least in Singapore).

That's horrifying, lol.

That reminds me of this:

How many people buy tents, hiking boots, RVs, etc to use at parks?

Yep. I can avoid saying yes to all of the apps that want to access my contacts, but I can't prevent everyone I know, from doing the same :-(

Aliens, but it's classified, so they redacted those parts.

Your comment is very similar to past comments in HN where the user was sadly not being sarcastic (generally people with defeatist attitudes). Please use the widely-accepted sarcasm symbol. Example:

(Insert sarcasm here.) /s

Does anyone have any other opensource recommendations?

Yes, it's okay to abuse people because others are already might be abusing them.

> in the hopes that they fixed that shit via a software update.

Hell will freeze over first.

Which are costs that John Deere will ultimately pass on to the consumer.

Sounds like a lot more work then just getting them to spam themselves.

The USPS has an FAQ about mailing bricks, but it won't load for me. I do know they are allowed to throw away trash, and they could interpret a brick as trash.

In my limited experience, it's usually when they are sick or dying.

Eating healthy and spreading one's cheeks as the sit down is hardly a lot of trouble.

I like bidets, but I hardly need them. When I build my next house, it will have bidets.

Idk, a good diet and physically spreading the cheeks (to simulate squatting) when using the restroom seems to basically prevent messy cleanup.

When I eat crap food, that's when I need a lot of toilet paper.

Somehow other animals don't need toilet paper.

That may not be what you intended, but that is what you asked.

It looks like you intended "is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome", but what you asked can just as well be interpreted as "is there a good alternative to uBlock in Chrome."

LPT: if you're not a customer but you get their mailing advertisements and want them to stop, create an account with them on their website then update your address to their headquarters.

If you call and tell them to stop, they will only stop for 2 years then resume. Or resume when you take your vehicle to someplace that (re)sells your information to them.

You might be going at it too hard. Please see a dentist or get a second opinion from another dentist.

According to my dentist, you can damage your gums by brushing them too hard. I don't floss so he didn't address that, but in both methods, force is being applied to delicate tissue.

The point of brushing and flossing is to remove food particles. You don't have to abuse your teeth or gums to do that.

That does not sound normal.

'Video or it didn't happen'?

I don't doubt you, I'm just curious to see it :-)

Attempted to try the demo, it requested microphone access which I denied, then the page was stuck. The only option to move forward was tapping on the chat icon, and then it wanted my email address and I wrote "no thank you" which it seemed to accept but not process.

It looks like your app only wants people to do things a certain way, and if the user doesn't, then too bad?

Air-gapped doesn't mean no data transfer. If there is data transfer, then viruses could get on it which will use up system resources.

Before this, when just using a single email address, I had no idea where the spam was coming from.

Now I know where the spam (I get) comes from.

I haven't had to ban any addresses yet.

Yes.

I use a catch-all. I can accept (whatever)@mydomain.tld

Anytime a new company wants my email address, I just randomly give them one.

So far I only get spam to the email addresses other people posted on a website as contacts for organizations I volunteer with.

(I get spam from web scraping, not from company hacks/sharing etc.)

Thank you.

Just don't have any visitors in your house either, as they might connect it to their cell phone hot spot to watch one of their Netflix shows or similar when you're not looking.

As much as you think this scenario is paranoia, your visitors will think you not connecting your TV is just as paranoid.

Isn't it the Kessler Syndrome when the debris from the first collision creates the subsequent collisions?

I believe there's the ability for the moderators to implement karma equity sharing, or maybe that was just someone's suggestion I read a while back.

As long as it doesn't hit something while it's in apogee.

How so?

(Not me, but I'm curious, and who knows, maybe someone else here can.)

I'm pretty sure they don't: source I've helped move people's stuff in and out of a couple of different places. My experience is very limited, so if you have more data points where you have seen such things, please share.
