You're starting with the plate, getting the home, and then you can get the real estate info.

Most people don't expect their identity to be discoverable from their driving.


Isn't that the whole idea of licence plates? So you're identifiable?

To the police, perhaps. Not walmart.

Wait really? I feel like this was happening in the 90s. Now every car has a full gps spy system integrated to the point I barely trust that my conversation is private in a modern vehicle. But I guess if you think it's just your car company, Android, Apple, roadside assistance, the local police, and probably the music you're playing that can pin your location you're probably ok.

Literally all of these can be avoided except the external apparati like the Flock cameras, which is why they're such a big deal.

Getting tracked by your map application or OS platform can be countered by using an open source ROM and a local map provider like OpenStreetMap. Gtting tracked by the car itself can oftentimes be prevented by unplugging the telematics unit (or its antennas) or bypassing it with special cables. But there's nothing you can legally do to protect against the Flock cameras, without ignoring the law entirely and going around town with an angle grinder.


  They promise education, but really they give you tests and scores

  And they predictin' prison population by who scoring the lowest


For those who are out of the loop:

350MB so 2 would fit on a standard CDROM.


Anagram, perhaps.


If spouse-a has gambling addiction and spends all of the family money, then spouse-b was effectively forced to gamble.


He says in his comment that they inject the urine, then, a few days later, they kill the rabbit.


Those weren't his words, and his actual words (which he quoted above, acknowledging their ambiguity) could be (mis)read as meaning that injecting the urine killed the rabbit a few days later, especially since he also wrote "apparently [frogs] could survive the urine injection".


I do still find it odd that injecting urine into the frog repeatedly is OK for the frog, but perhaps the volume was quite small.


I think "call screening with Google Fi" is some kind of service/feature, which they have enabled.


Sounds...legit tho? I sure wouldn't want tinnitus, so if that can be softened, seems worth doing.


I think the implication is that people who don't have tinnitus can also claim it - there's no objective test to verify whether it's true.


Also, what is the point of a partial disability payment?

Is it to compensate you for the lost income you couldn’t have earned if not for the disability? That would be in line with the goal of normal disability.


Credit cards have better consumer protection than debit cards.

You are on the hook for like $50 max of fraudulent credit card, and like $500 of fraudulent debit. If you don't catch debit in time, you might be liable for all of it.


It's $0 for both credit and debit, under Visa and Mastercard "zero liability" rules.

Even under Regulation E, it would only be $50 as long as the issuer is notified within two days of losing your card, and $0 for other types of fraud (e.g. unauthorized use of your card number online) if reported within 60 days of receiving the corresponding monthly statement.



The people who tout "you can pause it" as an advantage of home theater are just not consuming movies the way I consume movies.

If you are in the theatre, no one is going to talk to you about the movie, or comment on it for no reason, etc.

I still regret pausing Lost Highway (like 25 years ago) so we could go out and smoke a cigarette. It completely broke the spell and the movie just wasn't the same from then on.
