Oh I remember we had a big bag of rainbow cookies one time and they made you gay, and the only gay guy in school was eatting them but they were apparently really good so we figured out if you just ate an even number you'd end up back straight again.

Twas a simpler time.

Yep I do the email thing. And yeah, I know they all share everything, but at least I make them work for it.

I don't know how much my privacy is actually being respected but I do go for the "use as many different services as possible so no company knows absolutely everything about me." Approach.

I have a Garmin watch. I press a button on it twice, and within a minute or so a group of people I selected recieve an email with a live link, that shows my path and current location. Once I press the button again my live location ends but the list of people can still see my whole "activity". I think that expires on 24 hours but I'm not sure on that.

It's use is supposedly to show off exercising? I use it when I'm out hunting public land and might be wandering away from my truck or driving to several nearby trailheads in a day and don't want to have to remember to tell my other half "I know I said I was going to Fish Lake but so got distracted and stopped at Deer mountain and then drove to Owlfield but I parked on the south side of the trailhead but ended up walking north 3 miles..."

So I paid for nebula, but it seems totally vacant. I'm not mad, I'm happy to spend the money supporting small creators/any independent endeavour, but am I missing something??

I appreciate you sharing your views on this. You make some good points.

Everyone's got such a huge hate boner for this bot, but I have no idea why.

In this case, by saying it doesn't have info on the source it clues user into the fact that it's not a very large or popular source, which is an extra bit of data readers can take with them even if they don't do any more research beyond that.

If it was my bot, I would probably program it to do that, rather than do nothing in cases like this.

Just make sure to do it from Walmart or Lowblaw or some other government teet sucking price gouging corporation.

That's already very common and should be shut down, but usually it applies to the particular service you are using... Not whatever this bullshit is...

Where did this happen, and what kind of bears?? Is it just me or is this article lacking....

Where is Yukon Canada? And is Ontario Canada inside it? Or was she visiting from our of town? This Grizzly attack was black bears?
