This site walks you through how to take a DNA test anonymously. That’s as close as I’m aware of that you can get to privacy.

Virginia Tech has been doing a similar helmet study for several years: https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/

There’s an update to the news article that gives more info on the motive: https://www.theroot.com/watch-white-father-pulls-a-karen-with-black-superinten-1851522863

The father and superintendent apparently had previous problems and the father planned to interfere in the graduation ceremony. I’m still not convinced it wasn’t racially motivated, but regardless the man needs help.

https://www.dnasquirrel.com/ provides some guidance on how to get DNA results while maintaining privacy. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’d like to hear if anyone has.

I have T-Mobile too. Would you mind explaining the process of adding an external antenna? I’d like to get 250 Mbps stable.

I stopped shopping at Cub specifically because the self-checkout registers were just like the ones described above. The cashier lanes weren’t any better because I still had to do all the work except scanning anyway.

Cub is the most convenient location for me by about 5 miles, but I refuse to go there because the service is so very bad.

What makes you say it’s abandoned? The last release was about a month ago.

EVs work fine in cold weather. I live in Minnesota and drive an EV. It loses about 10-20% of the total range in the winter, but most of that appears to be from generating heat for the passengers.
