I've amended my comment to make it more clear. I didn't mean to imply the app sends your data to third parties, only that the company who owns it profits off of third party information brokering. Where that information comes from is beside the point in my opinion.

PSA: Nova Launcher's owning company sells their user data. It was a good launcher when it first came out, but it's been nothing but a downward spiral from there.

Edit for clarity: I don't mean the app itself. It is owned by an entity that exists to sell consumer data.

Edit again: I was wrong. TIL about EPR Torx. Just search that and you should find the right set.

Yeah, that's just the stance you take when shooting from a standing position in competition. It's really awkward at first, but it does improve the stability of your aim significantly.

Well, the others are using pistols, while he's using a rifle.

I was told this as a fast food manager: do not admit fault, only apologize for the situation the person is experiencing. The second you admit fault, they said, you admit liability for any damages, real or imaginary.

Zelda taught me how to read. Or, more accurately, I learned to read so that I could play Ocarina of Time and know what the hell I was doing.

This seems like a CYA by Intel. They're saying that there was a manufacturing issue causing oxidation, by that's not why their CPUs were failing. That was caused by a voltage issue that can be patched, but the bricked CPUs will be refunded/replaced. Like, why admit to two separate issues being present in your product, as a manufacturer, unless it's to mitigate the blowback from one issue in the first place. I don't buy it.

I wish I could've enjoyed some hallucinogens before my memory went to shit. I'm just hoping it's my ADHD and not early onset dementia. 🙃

This is the stance my wife and I are taking lately. I'm native too, so dammit, I was born in this beautiful land, and I'll not let some fucking uneducated Christian rednecks force me to leave.

I've never been happier I dropped out of my CS classes

I think they're trying to suggest Biden is in office as part of some Qabalist ritual. I think they just don't know how to spell Qaballah.
