It's the secret service. Safe the runner is safe unless she's a prostitute or you happen to trip.

I thought credible reporting said it was merely the Pentagon's lack of updating a decade old Target list?

I did find it darkly ironic that Operation Epstein Fury started out by destroying the lives of more young girls.

Beer at bar $7. What did industry expect?

And, if you want to be overly precise, can you tell us the average prices and consumption for cocktails, shots, wine serving, and beer?

The rent is too damn high.

Since the drinking reduction is across all ages, we're a very lonely people...

My granddad tells the story of the time he left his parents house and they called out "Make sure to turn your burners on".

He was in his 60s....

Once a parent, always a parent, I guess.

Isn't that the Brave and adblocker model?

No android auto? What are you basing this on? I ask because I am responding from grapheneos while connected to android auto, and I am concerned I am in the wrong universe again.

I guess I shouldn't believe what I read. I and when certainly wouldn't buy phone that doesn't do Android auto... Glad to hear it works!

There is Android Auto. There's contactless payments in Europe through Curve, Paypal, and some specific banks. Some companies are working on bringing them to the US.

Funny enough, the only part of Apple Pay I use with any frequency is the browser/app integration part, basically as a much more convenient alternative to PayPal sometimes.

IRL I do use it on occasion but everything I use it for, I could just fall back to the contactless chips in my physical plastic CCs - just like I did for all those years on a deGoogled Android phone with no Google Wallet support. The unique value add of Apple Pay in the physical world is nearly zero to me, other than acting as a market force that made US point of sale systems finally catch up to Canada years late and offer tap to pay.

> Just about everybody with money uses contactless payment

Cash is much better for privacy. The government, banking system, and countless intermediaries should not know how I spend my money.

So the lack of contactless payment on GrapheneOS may be inconvenient, but is it consistent with a privacy stance.

I agree about cash, but we are talking about a luxury experience. In fact, GrapheneOS has talked about it [1].

> So the lack of contactless payment on GrapheneOS may be inconvenient, but is it consistent with a privacy stance

I doubt you're implying this, but GrapheneOS doesn't break contactless, Google does by blocking GrapheneOS. Contactless works with curve and paypal in Europe.

"Moving from cash to credit cards, PayPal, etc. is an ongoing privacy disaster."

$40T in debt, gotta cut something.

Oops my hard drive is full, I'd better delete a bunch of 5kb .txt files that contain important information

Yes, let's focus on the .35% we give to NASA.

It is $0.17 per US citizen, and on average generates several times that investment in return within the economy every year.

They should open NASA's version of a gofundme page. =3

Des têtes?

Excuse my French

That's impossible Elon Musk told us that he solved the debt. And he is a genius who never fails.

Yeah, and his mom was just in the news saying he really wants to live on Mars, so he can tweet about the samples in-between fertilizing his potatoes. :)

Buying local is not necessarily less polluting because of the economics of scale. Driving 5 miles to a farm stall to buy a kilo of fresh tomatoes can generate more pollution per unit than walking to a supermarket that shipped a refrigerated container of produce from a greenhouse in the Netherlands.

It's on the shipping agency to optimize the shipping methods to be affordable and non polutant

Well, if they're too small to trifle with, it would be irrational to trifle with them, wouldn't it?
