Yeah, not charging any more could just as easily be attributed to the battery. Hissing of any kind, except for pretty significant arcing, would most likely point to battery as well. I'd definitely take precautions around the battery as those fires aren't pretty.

Not a climatologist, but I would presume a lot of it is because there also happens to be a lot of water there. For one, the rotation of the earth kinda pushes the oceans into a squashed ball shape, so more water ends up at the equator. The distance to the core at the equator is roughly 13 miles greater than at the poles.. But also, in our current state of tectonic drift, there's just lots of ocean at the equator surrounding various bodies of land. And the extra heat due to more direct sunlight for more of the year means more evaporates from oceans and enters the water cycle. All it needs then is to meet colder air above land, and we have lots of atmospheric currents that end up helping with that, and those areas tend to be significantly wetter.

For another, possibly better-researched answer, here's an answer to a similar question on Quora.

Mother/father is inclusive and a drop-in replacement.

Man, my 2023 bingo card is shot to hell.

The neat part of the trick is that the quote never says who specifically gets protection and service.

Don't ask them to do math too! Don't you know they missed a ton of school?

I'm quite happy with Backblaze B2 for my backup storage. I think I pay like $3/mo for a few hundred gigabytes though they did recently change their pricing. Iirc it wasn't going to affect me much. On top of their security settings like encryption and deletion locks, I use local encrypted backup tools like restic that make it dead simple to worry less.

I've messed around with this for a while one day, and the hit rate is seriously low. Even with high parity QR codes and even when you sometimes get it to scan. So you end up sometimes being like "good enough because I've been at this for 15 minutes." My phone started overheating and turning the camera off from how frequently I was testing QR codes and regenerating. This controlnet looks better than the model I used though (older tutorial) so I'm definitely tempted to give this one the old college try.

I mean, under the CFAA you could probably pretty easily pursue charges when explicitly deauthorizing certain agents from accessing your data. Plenty of people have been threatened and prosecuted for less.

Free or just included with your internet service? I remember getting usenet as an ISP perk long ago. No idea if they indexed any binary newsgroups though.

My money's on an incoming fundraiser or emergency batch of pillows for extra money to support "the cause."

It's more complicated to set up but ridiculously simpler and faster once set up, from what I've heard. Also something you shouldn't do. Nobody should do it because it makes illegal things too easy.
