IOS testflight isn’t open and I can’t download it.

I’m surprised you didn’t use any soy sauce.

Wow, imagine all the stuff she witnessed and lived through from the mid-late 1800’s to the moon landing.

Dude didn’t even shower to save on water bills.

I believe the W-8 BEN form is for declaring yourself a foreign person for tax purposes, so they’re probably trying to avoid taxes because they’re sovcits. Funny that they put America as their country of origin because 1. Yes it’s not a country as the bank said, 2. They have no other country to put in there because they’re from the US, and 3. Putting the US as your country in a form for foreign nationals is peak irony.

I think it’s more of finding ways to express negative emotions in a healthier/safer way, and not necessarily just suppressing it.

Do electronics next. It varies wildly now, with some airports requiring laptops and tablets removed and some don’t. And before someone says they do it to make it unpredictable for would-be attackers, they can at least not be a dick about it.

I use the Focus feature on IOS. I selectively silence the stuff that aren’t important (email, messaging apps, social media, etc.) and keep calls and emergency alerts active. 90% of calls I get are spam or sales calls and they don’t happen at night when I sleep. If I get a call in the middle of the night, there’s a high chance it’s important or it’s an emergency, so I don’t silence it.

Currently in a rut with recording new music. I have a collab with a guitarist friend and we have 9 unfinished songs that have been sitting for almost a year now. Home ownership really did a number on my music-making time. There’s just always something to do or something to fix that I can’t find the time to dedicate a couple of uninterrupted hours to record music. Compare that to 3-4 years ago where I was able to release 2 albums and 2 EPs in a span of 3 years.

On the other hand, I’m looking forward to acquiring my own 8-string guitar soon so I no longer need to rely on collabs to get guitars on my music. I’m primarily a keyboardist and I make prog/industrial music.

Not much really. Separate profile on your machine or run it in a VM. Then maybe use a vpn. But that doesn’t really hide anything from zoom itself. Maybe use a throwaway email.

Capsule hotel, popular in Japan.

I just watched an interview of Karen Hao and she mentioned something along the lines of executives being oversold AI as something to replace everyone instead of something that should exist alongside people to help them, and they believe it.

Are are we applying butterfly effect mechanics here? If yes, the farthest I’ll probably go is the previous 24 hours to have the least impact on the things I don’t want to lose/change. Then I’ll probably bet on the lottery.

It does happen in some third world countries. Not sure for LA though.

Ah shit the grass killer I have has diquat. But the weed killer variant from the same brand doesn’t have it, which is interesting.

Clearly you didn’t read the post. You need to add filetype:pdf for the best results.

The measures you’ve taken are more than enough for your threat model. I think it now depends on your data hygiene. Weakest link kinda thing, where it doesn’t matter if your home network is locked down and you use privacy friendly services if you’re careless with your data anyway; which I assume you aren’t.

Blows my fucking mind they can’t just deny a tranaction

They can, they just won’t because of those juicy overdraft fees.

Translation: I went to the bank without an appointment and started talking my word salad to a teller who couldn’t understand a single thing I said, so they escalated me to an officer who will quickly show me the door as soon as they realize it’s sovcit bs.
