No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

How long do cell phones last these days? The USB C port on my lower-mid market phone hasn't been able to do a data connection in awhile and now charging is getting funky. It's almost 4.5 years old which seems old in the electronics world. Not sure it is worth taking to a fix it shop.

It's been a long time since I was there, but I've usually have visited Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and The Abbey. Usually during the day, no idea about nighttime. Assuming Quarter proximity. Hope you get better recs than this!

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

Thought #11: So, honestly folks, use your best judgement. Voting is not about picking a savior or hero. It's about moving the needle in your preferred direction, however slightly, always strategically, hopefully limiting harm and setting up for the next election.

A federal district court just held that police use of Flock cameras without a warrant violates the Fourth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

constitutionally collect this information about one car-and its driver-by
following that vehicle on public roadways over a month. But this leaves the
question of why is it the government's business where everyone goes all the
time? The government cannot go snooping through our personal lives and
business without an adequate basis to do so. That is what the Supreme Court
has said since its decision in Katz through its decision in Chatrie this year,
nearly sixty years later. It is not too much to draw the line at indiscriminate
mass surveillance.
No doubt, ALPR technology comes with remarkable benefits that the
Court cannot ignore. But the Fourth Amendment requires courts to draw a line when the cost is too great. Alaniz's search in just the ALPR system
provided him with more than 50 individual records of Kyle's whereabouts
across the country for an entire month. The Court finds that because the
ALPR systems Alaniz used to search Kyle's historical location information
intruded on her reasonable expectation of privacy in the whole of her physical
movements, it was a search under the Fourth Amendment. Based on the
information in the record, the only reason Alaniz conducted that search was
because he saw her license plate was from California. That search was not
supported by probable cause, and it was done without a warrant in violation
of Kyle's Fourth Amendment rights. That search also has a nexus to the
remainder of the traffic stop because Alaniz began following Kyle's car while

Finally made myself go for a walk (after our trip and colds). With it being cooler, I walked through neighborhoods instead of by the lake. Had a gregarious creamsicle cat reward reward me for getting off my butt.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

We learned this issue: The amtrak train has a time window to get past a certain section of rail which is being worked on outside that window. Our 4.5 hours of delays pushed us past that window. Still does not explain/excuse the ~7h of bus travel.
