> Can't imagine the food safety institutions even considering pop-up home cafes in my native Belgium.

Many states in the US have "cottage food" laws that allow low-risk foods (think baked goods, jams, jellies, candies, nuts, etc) to be labeled "this is an unregulated unlicensed cottage food product" and sold without a license. Belgium may have something similar.

The only purpose of any government, anywhere, is to protect the ruling class (whether they are internal or external to said government).

The US supreme court has explicitly ruled, on several occasions, that the government has no duty to protect its citizens.

Let's stop pretending that we can separate the good from the bad here. This industry and everyone in it is morally bankrupt.

They hallucinate images for a living, of course making a medical imager is fishy (to put it extremely nicely).

If you try to write to a file that has been changed, it'll ask to merge them. Not sure what the behavior is if two try to edit the same entry.

Find your local music venues -- the smaller the better. Listen to the artists that are coming to play. When you find something you like, see where they are touring and look up the other venues because a lot of them specialize in different types of music. Rinse and repeat.

It's flood routed. 3 bits is probably far past what is practical, except in very linear low-node-count networks.

Thanks for this comment -- it dredged up a memory I had almost forgotten.

I did this but inverted. When only pokemon red/blue were out in the US I downloaded a rom for pokemon yellow (discovered on whatever p2p I was using at the time) when searching for pokemon to play in an emulator. I didn't know it existed at the time and it was in Japanese. When I told my friends "pikachu follows you around!" None of them believed me.

We always want to pretend that we're better and more evolved than those knuckle draggers of ages past -- simply because someone else made a computer for us to use.

> If it wasn't you driving, you know who

This is... Absolutely not true.

I had some family friends and their two (adult) sons come in (from Poland!) and loaned them my car for a week while they were driving around the states. They were all licensed and it could have been any one of them driving at any given point.

I've even been on road trips in my own car where figuring out the question "we got a ticket from nowhere, montana. Who was driving when we went through there?" Would be met with "that was over a month ago, I don't even know where that is much less who was driving then."

My husband and I and our kid take each other's cars for various reasons and trying to figure out who was driving on any given hour of the day over a month later when the ticket arrives in the mail would be an impossible task.

I understand the desire to act holier than thou and pretend that going through a red light with no traffic is murder in the making, but the situation they advocate for (running when clear) is even written into law in some states (at least for motorcycles/bicycles). Some vehicles don't trigger the sensors and the lights never change, so you are allowed to go after a full stop. I would not be surprised in the least if there were some states where the wording of the law applied to cars as well.

He sure showed them. The people I know using super old iphones are doing more than their public commitment to buy more apple products as often as they can -- after a brief tolerance break, of course.
