It’s pretty bad. I’m having to back out of the stream every few minutes. Maybe Netflix should stay in their lane.

And for the record, I’m watching on a hardwired Nvidia Shield with a 1 gig fiber connection with nothing else running.

Be careful with that, it could make you a target for a visit

Or they could just store the data locally on the user’s device and not transmit it back to a central server, such that the company never even has possession of the data nor any way to retrieve it? Like I get it would require a major rewrite if they weren’t already doing this, but at least they’d be keeping their users safe while also having no way for authorities to gain any data.

Ah gotcha. I just remember that they used to do it for I think the original iteration of e911 and thought they kept it around for other purposes, but I didn’t realize the necessary equipment and financial details involved, so that’s fantastic news. Thank you!

GPS is kind of a tossup since your cellular provider can just as easily triangulate your position with their towers, and there is no escaping that outside of putting your phone in a faraday cage.

Check your state registration, but register unaffiliated/no party preference, not Independent. The American Independent Party has a bit of a Nazi problem.

The DNC does not have the peoples’ best interests in mind. Not to say they aren’t the same as the GOP (not by a wide margin), but they are the political extension of their corporate donors. This is the reason why they don’t push forward with universal healthcare, why they’re cowards regarding Israel, and why not much meaningful legislation makes it through the gamut that puts the populace first. This is what conservative voters are done with, and many Democrats are fed up with as well. The GOP, for all their evil faults, actually do execute on the issues that their base cares about, though those action tend to be reprehensible.

Any mainstream Democrat candidate will NOT put forth or affirmatively vote for legislation or policy that goes against their donors’ wishes. The GOP are the same way, but at least they’re up front about it. But it hasn’t been just this election cycle, they’ve been this way for a long time. This is why many call them spineless, but it’s not about that; they aren’t paid to represent the people, they paid to pretend to care while preserving the status quo (their corporate “donations” far outweigh their salaries for the “right” politicians). Everyone and their mom has been screaming corporate greed for the last four years, yet not a single political committee has put forth an honest effort to go after corporations for price gouging, because they’d lose their campaign donations, similar to how any candidate that goes against Israel would get financially throttled.

Any time a store asks for a phone number, I use the local area code followed by 867-5309, and 9/10 times it works

Pop goes the weasel?

The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

I’ve been in construction for many years, and the norm is working straight through till lunch then straight till the end of the day. Usually no one bats an eye if you take a few minutes to catch your breath or smoke if you bust ass, but yeah there typically isn’t a designated 10-15 all stop. That and most guys usually take 20 min to take a shit, so I guess it tends to balance out.

Most jobs I’ve had will schedule 8-430/9-530/etc, so that you work a full 8 hours but you have a 30min mandatory unpaid lunch break. The two 15 min breaks are paid, but they were also “discouraged.”

Indeed. I haven’t had a McDonald’s burger in probably 15 years, last I had one was the same deal. I’ll eat Carl’s Jr in a pinch, but that’s about it, and even then I feel pretty crappy afterwards.

Alcohol was my big one, especially as I get older. Quality of meat makes a big difference too, I found there’s a huge contrast between fast food burgers and quality steak in terms of red meat.

I’m willing to bet their diet plays a huge role in the smell factor, especially in their localities. It seems like anyone with a western, especially American, diet, has a propensity to smell less that fresh on lieu of daily hygiene.

Burden of proof.

If the least smelly person on the planet can use the product and stay fresh for 3 days, technically they aren’t lying.

It’s worse than that: the whales are the ones counting cards and robbing regular people blind, and the house is turning a blind eye because they’re bought off (that whole revolving door between enforcement agencies and the companies they’re supposed to regulate).

And now, it’s little more than a damn casino.

That’s what I mean though, trying to watch any YT video embedded anywhere without being signed in will yield that error, but I usually don’t have that problem on YT’s direct website, even without login. Still ridiculous, but so is Google

As much as it isn’t preferred, I can usually bypass the sign in shenanigans by going directly to the website to watch something without signing in. I usually only get the login prompt when going through my browser or a search engine.
