This guy has it right. That’s basically my mom’s kitchen gadget drawer. Junk drawer has duct tape, 3 leftover zip ties, some loose AA batteries and the big screwdriver everyone seems to have

Was just looking at something like how to execute on that this morning as my morning coffee dive down an internet rabbit hole.

There’s this guy named Michael Bazzell who used to make a podcast about stuff like this, and he also wrote a book called Extreme Privacy that I thumbed through this morning. He talks about where to go to get a ghost address, how to buy and set up a cell phone to be virtually anonymous, how to buy a house anonymously or how to re-title your car to a trust or LLC, and pretty much everything in between. Even talks about what information to not divulge when you go to the ER and details what to consider you put on your kids birth certificate.

So if anyone is paranoid enough to know how to avoid getting suicided, I’m going to bet on this guy’s advice

… Rodriguez also notes that jailbreaking the plates could also allow drivers to use the plates’ features without paying Reviver’s $29.99 monthly subscription fee.

This deserved to get hacked then.

That’s brazenly exploitative to charge a subscription for what amounts to a digital picture frame of your license plate

Still too many pixels!

Somewhat recently I was car shopping and looked into towing capacity for a Prius.

No Prius stateside is rated for towing at all, but in Europe where they sell the same damn model it is rated for a light trailer going a max of ~65mph. It was my understanding from digging into it that the US version doesn’t officially have tow capacity because of the legal speed limit on our highways being above what it’s safely capable of.

So at least in this one case it’s due to liability avoidance even though Prius can tow a light trailer if you drive like a grandma on the highway. If it’s true for that it’s probably true for other cars with more oomph

Have an angry upvote. Literally true.

Baby steps.

Yeah I’m sure there’s a new CEO now, but consider that whatever schmuck ends up in that chair next knows he’s taking over from a predecessor that was deposed for wildly unpopular policies at the helm to hold profits over people.

Mr schmuck will definitely be sweating it when faced with similar decisions because fear of it affecting him personally, e.g. catching a bullet, is a real possibility. I guarantee you that thought has never crossed any of these CEOs minds before this happened.

All the assassin did was force them to understand they have skin in the game.

How badly do they want more money? How does the calculus shake out with this new variable of self preservation? Is it worth looking over your shoulder every time walking down the street?

This is why people are arguing it’s the trolley problem

Do you have the dry eye problem I’ve been hearing about after Lasik?

This comment needs to be higher and with more upvotes.

I’ve heard this rumor already but haven’t seen a source on it. Thank you

This is criminally adorable OMG

Well that’s just bananas

Use your hand like a savage?

No thanks

This guy definitely puts his cast iron in the dishwasher

Jesús fucking christ some guy made the Adult Swim skit into a real product?

This wasn’t supposed to be real

This is how I use the vote arrows too.

I think I’ve gotten a little idealistic since moving to lemmy because I definitely used the votes as agree/disagree on Reddit, because it was clear that was what the hivemind decided it was for, who was I to argue.

Replied to a comment in this thread already but dropping this here for visibility

Orange man legalized weed on a federal level in 2018. Source here

Here’s the source

It’s truly amazing that orange man legalized weed in 2018.

You know for a goddamn fact that nobody in congress nor the orange man intended to do this.

Yet another example of old white men legislating on stuff they don’t understand but at least in this case it’s a win for us

Pulling out your gun and shooting the brown skinned dude going for a jog is a little bit different than packing it in and resolving to do yoga another day

You got me, this is what I’m referencing.

If the topic of books comes up in conversation with random people I always recommend it if that’s the only book they read in their lifetime
