Thanks!

Breaking the law (cracking the DRM) doesn’t necessarily equal stealing. S/He could be watching the movie once or twice and deleting it. (And, no, I’m not actually that naive, but the point is no less valid).
Also, I’ve been known to rent a movie, not feel like watching it that particular night, and have it expire…

The thing is the licensing. Windows is (generally) licensed to a user, and said user can load it on whatever hardware s/he likes.

I used to order a hockey puck with wax and yellow paint at a Shoney’s.. it was one of those places near a truck stop, and I heard several of these, but it’s been a minute.

One problem for me is that a lot of the big providers allow (require?) me to use SMS as a backup, even if I have Google Authenticator enabled. Examples: Amazon, Dropbox, some banking accounts, etc. And I haven’t found a way to turn this off.

Excitedly made whipped cream and added pits. Stirred for a bit. Tasted good! Only one problem.

Sadly wished I had read the whole article.

Guilty.

Undiagnosed anxiety can be a killer. Even as a relatively virile teenager, many moons ago, it was really strange for me.. rock hard while getting hot and heavy, but when time to slip it in, he’d melt like a popsicle in a microwave. For the record, I DID flog the dolphin regularly — almost nightly. *slumps shoulders…

Pretty rare for me, but it has happened, and usually when standing for the duration (not standing ON the actual bed, of course).. I think it’s related to breathing or unintentionally holding your breath, but YMMV. If it happens all the time, you might have a blood flow concern in your noggin. I’d at least consider…

This is a good summary full of common sense that goes nicely along with a prior comment that (and I paraphrase, here) adults should be allowed to do adult things (presumably as long as nobody else gets harmed in the process).

Homeland:

See, AA falls under the non-dangerous category, imo. Nobody sacrifices cats or virgins, and they’ll happily answer even the most probing of questions. Guess there’s always an a-hole or two who might use your horrible moment of clarity story against you, but it’s best for one to own that shizzle, anyway.

Serious question: what’s the issue? I kinda like it. Means I don’t have to hit [Back] for the homepage, thus enduring the ads all loading again. Granted, sometimes I have to scroll a bit to get to the “other” article(s) I’d pegged for browsing, but nbd for me, personally. Also, it means I have to get a little creative…

That’s some nice engineering, there. If you build it into a briefcase and call it a science project for school, SJW’s will help you fight for your right to get it through TSA without all of that unnecessary hassle.

This. Except, I found that by reading the active ingredient (and dosage) list on Dayquil, I can substitute all of the ingredients with small, dry, no-quart-size-bag-necessary OTC pills. Acetaminophen, Sudafed (real OTC - not the kind you have to show your driver’s license at the pharmacy counter for — unless you get…

The official answer is that you have to wait until they drop off after seven years, or that at least, the reporting agency stops caring enough to report it. (I’ve been through the wringer with my own credit, and I’ve seen negative things drop off “on their own” after five or six years with no intervention on my part).

Glad I read TFA. Apparently there’s a drug that might re-grow the lost synapses. News to me. 

Thank you for the subtle tip. Don’t mind admitting I was scratching my head when I went to change my password.

Mozilla, to me, has never seemed particularly interested in turning great profits, and the new brand speaks more to me at my nerd-core. Criticisms of the uninspired design are not unwarranted, but maybe they went this way on purpose? I’m probably missing some info.
