Adding to this, beware of progressive lenses. Get dedicated readers if you need them for the distance of your screen so you don’t have to tilt your head even a little.

I think op is right. A new law that says you have to own real estate to vote would have been unconstitutional before and is not now.

It’s an interesting comparison because it seems to me dueling comes from times and places where personal reputation was much more important to life destiny than now due to a lack of protective legal and other institutional infrastructure that dampens the risks in living and working with strangers.

So maybe any rising sensitivity in the present is due to the feeling that this infrastructure is weakened.

I like your idea, but it just brings to mind how fragile all of our digital media is, not to mention the surrounding tech necessary to read and understand it. What we know works is to press your message to the future, grocery bill, whatever, into clay and then accidentally burn the city down around it – good for millennia.

I wonder if it would take more or less time with auto-complete.

I’ve used this giorgio regni app on Android for years with various random earbuds.

The only option on its menu that reliably does anything for me is called “morphine pain killer”, but it was a game changer for me for incapacitating sea sickness (believe me I had tried so many things I don’t think I had any placebo potential left). On land, I’ve found it effective for post surgery pain, nerve pain, and even the odd depressive crying jag. I guess at this point I’m a believer so I’d be curious to know what effect it has on a “fresh” patient. I don’t think I’ve tried it just for kicks, though, so not sure what you’ll notice if you’re already feeling ok.

This may not be the best advice, but it is what I did for a project that was required to have these statements. There are online templates and services that will create and host your terms and data privacy policy for free, with upgrades of you want more customized wording. The format is clunky and in my case allowed for more data collection than the app would ever actually do because I did not pay to customize it, but it serves the purpose. Termsfeed.com privacypolicygenerator.com You could just generate one to see the general idea and then customize it yourself if you don’t need the hosting.

I like and fear your answer, but having recently watched a ridiculous number of police homicide interrogations, it seems to me that if you are smart enough to get away with murder you are probably smart enough to avoid it in the first place. A lot of murders are solved with cameras and phone records. Even many sociopaths who you might expect to do better.

Used to be considered simply prudent to back up the vhs tapes you bought and people were encouraged to tape their favorite shows off the tv. Now some random CEO of the month has the right to bury decades worth of creative works?

I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.

Except I think it’s interesting this was not generalizable. The Spanish were looking for people, just different people at first. Cortez for example landed and immediately “employed” hundreds of native people to come up with some wealth to pay off the exploration debt. The friars were specifically there to convert people to Catholicism.

The British puritans were looking to build their personal Utopia, but the Spanish and others, it seems to me, were looking for a populated colony from the start.

Yeah, I hadn’t heard of it, but it looks really cool. Gonna have to try that out.

I use osmand on Android. Bit of a leaning curve to start as you need to download the maps you want and set up features, but then it is available offline as well and can include topographical and trails or other data if you’re not just traveling in cities.

Holy shit, dude, don’t put that in your body!

Wow, ok you said that and I was like I’ve totally seen that price on the regular, which is why I stick to gala, but I went looking and can’t find anything over $2.49, so, way to go, you fixed inflation! What else don’t you believe?

Interesting that the phone worked. I think some LEDs do send directional light, why they need to put diffusers even on all the tiny pixels of a tv, or maybe I’m confusing things. I was thinking originally about parabolic reflector, but I don’t know if any common consumer items have those.

Tragic. I know this isn’t the point of your post, but does this work any better with an old fashioned headlight or flashlight with the little bulb in the center of a sort of bowl-shaped reflector, or are those still too diffuse?

I made an paid account with medium to see posts related to my work, and I really enjoy it. I get an email every day with a handful of articles based on what I said my interests are/followed authors and I can read them with none of the issues other people are talking about (obviously because I’ve already caved to their business model, just pointing out the annoyances do actually stop, unlike some premium services).

If you think your readers will follow you to a paid platform, I don’t see anything wrong with it. But if they don’t want to pay, it sounds like it will be a bad experience. I would be skeptical of having a broader reach, also, since there is a lot of competition, not all of it human.

Sometime needs to be watching him all the time. This is why they invented God.

Don’t take this too personally, but I started liking brighter colors when I began to notice their effects on my mood and to manage mild depression, especially seasonal moodiness.
