No no no, see:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his sentence should serve as “a stark warning to all those entrusted with protecting national defense information: betray that trust, and you will be held accountable.”

They mean business! For real this time. No take backs. While supplies last. Void in some states. Not all locations participate. Some restrictions apply.

Agree, and sadly he won the popular vote too (so far). It’s really bleak how many people don’t vote at all.

Yum! I do this with tortilla chips crushed slightly and let them soak in the melting butter in the pan while it warms up. Same thing in reverse mostly. Delicious.

This right here. Every kid is different and parents should know what they need and be allowed the freedom to choose what’s right for them.

We have a 11 and 13 year old and neither are capable of disconnecting. I mean literally. They will skip sleep, meals and restroom breaks if given that level of freedom. So we have time limits. Reasonable ones in my opinion but still limits.

Also, I work in tech and one of the kids is extremely savvy at pushing boundaries and getting around my security , so I make it a game and give them the freedom to break limits in a controlled environment. This builds trust and teaches them at the same time.

Trust but verify and provide what’s best for your own kids.

Asking the important questions right here.

The scene with the bear…

In all seriousness, you need to sell that book title idea.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Recycle your old batteries https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/recycling/yes-you-need-to-recycle-your-old-batteries-a5385943645/

Most batteries—regardless of type—contain toxic chemicals. Think cadmium, lead, lithium, or sulfuric acid. If your old batteries end up in a landfill, pollutants like these can leak out and contaminate groundwater, damage fragile ecosystems, and potentially make their way into the food chain.

Hard to execute

Nice, I see what you did there.

Goodness, could you imagine the sheet storm if Trump backed out?

Sneakers (1992) “no more secrets”: https://youtu.be/F5bAa6gFvLs?si=0OAFE-Pp2_Bc8AI8 Not quantum computing of course but still, a great movie.

They don’t really say in the article that I can see, but I wonder if they are actually aligned together in space or just appear to be from our perspective.

If advertising is meant to get attention and spark conversation, then goal achieved.

Worth noting, there is a difference between “lock” and “freeze”. See this article for the difference but I believe freezing is preferable https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/09/credit-freezes-are-free-let-the-ice-age-begin/

Freezes are free now and my experience has been they are instantaneous for freezing and thawing.

Result: “sorry we shared your personal data, here’s a check for 38 cents. “

This is both sad from the perspective that it was the last time and nice from the perspective that during that last time, I wasn’t bogged down with that knowledge and was able to enjoy it for what it was at the time.

It’s only a matter of time till someone moves a stock market for profit with a deep fake. If it hasn’t happened already.

Just what we need in the new year:

The sun is nearing the peak of its 11-year or so solar cycle. Maximum sunspot activity is predicted for 2025.
