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.

Oh man, EV drag race protip right there. Just move to Pikes Peak and you'll win more.

It's not so much the burnout that I enjoy (I'd rather not keep buying tires 😅) as sustained actual acceleration. Which means ideally two powered axles for traction, and at least from what I've read it's hard to beat a model 3 performance for the price. Especially since it comes under the cap for a $7500 tax credit.

I normally wouldn't but figured in context it made sense. But tbf they're similar 0-60 times at least. I'm sure the rest of the handling is significantly better in the BMW, as well as quality, but I'm at 100k miles on my C63 and ready for some lower maintenance fun at this point. Until I can afford a 3 car garage and lift, or something, which probably isn't for a while.
