Do Netflix et al inject "noise" into their recommendation engines? Like 1/10 titles are random rather than based on your preferences in order to break out of "local minimums".

Then that would fail if the receiver goes offline.

Hakenkreuz is not the German word for swastika anymore than swastika is the Sanskrit word for Hakenkreuz.

I've heard of "mong" as short for "mongoloid" but I've never heard of "monogo" being used that way. Searching through Google books most of the results for mongo refer to the Mongo people of the Congo. The second most common source is the fictional planet Mongo from the Flash Gordon comics.

Side note, It is just RAM now and not Dodge Ram. RAM is a brand under Stellantis just like Dodge, Citroën, or JEEP.

A coin is code and the code for pretty much every stable coin allow the creator to prevent coins from being sent to/from blacklisted addresses.

It likely originated in rhyming slang where words that rhyme are used as replacement[0]. It isn't the only example in nick names. Bill is a nickname for William and Bob is a nickname for Robert.

Or maybe if they spent less Russia would have defeated them sooner, the war would be over, people could return home, and there would be no more casualties. Or maybe if they spend(really received from US) less then Russia would not have felt threatened and invaded at all. Perhaps if their military spending had ramped up faster then Putin would have decided to invade sooner.

Does the cost of defending a country increase linearly with GDP? Do linear increases in military spending result in a linear increase in security?

What was the population density 50 or 100 years ago? Could it be possible that they went extinct more recently than 50,000 years ago (the age of the most recent bones)?

Streaming services take efforts to block VPNs. VPNs targeting users who want to access streaming services need to work to circumvent the efforts of streaming services. Mullvad does not attempt to do this so.

I believe that with iCloud Private Relay, the second hop is a different company (Cloudflare/Akamai/Fastly). Whereas multihop offered by Mullvad and other VPN companies they own both hops which would make correlation easy for them.

Ukraine uses the same equipment. How can you know whether they were Russian or Ukranian tanks that were destroyed? You could also take pictures of the same destroyed tank from different angles and claim more tanks were destroyed.

Food is more important than healthcare. Do you think the production, selection, and distribution of food should be decided by the state?

Voter registrations make people's home addresses public information (in many states) but posting that on Twitter violates their doxxing rules.
