You seem to fixated on the aspect of feasability.

Don’t you think there may be good reasons for these limiting factors (even when we have not discovered them)?

It makes me think that we still don’t know enough about the true meaning of these dna parts.

The mods: self-important, dense, and often pushing their own agendas.

Well, I cannot, because I don’t have an account there. I guess others can, but I don’t know for sure.

Sometimes the power rating of these chargers is created by math, not by physics. And then it is the sellers who do that math :)

Probably all the photos of you that other people have posted.

Identifying you could be possible all the same.

You have allowed FreakBook to collect all your private data and photos of your face and body parts for so many years.

Now you are having questions when somebody actually uses them?

Oh. You poor slave to consumption.

Why would they let bodyguards use tracking apps? Are we really that bad at opsec?

Wrong question LOL. Better ask:

Are we really that bad at allowing tracking?

Yes you are. And once the data is collected, people are going to do things with the data.

Democratic relatives from the South who might potentially take me in, though I don’t know for sure if they will, since we’re not close emotionally.

Make it easier for them: Ask only if you can stay for a little while. Don’t tell the whole story upfront.

Once you are actually there, you can look for other options. Or maybe you become closer.

About 15 years. I can’t remember exactly… something from the “small things corner” of our fridge :)

Could you save mankind?

No. When you see 2 or 3 motherboards together, the are probably doing rasbian stuff.

I have one skin, yes.

Showering is my skincare.

(I do not count the shaving)

I was not scared at all, because it was the very normal thing for me to find a new and better paying job first.

But I was lucky because that asshole boss did rarely actually show up and make my life miserable. He was too busy with making so many others miserable, too.

and when I got done being annoyed about the typo I realized

I love this excessively literal description :)

The bathroom is right next to me, and there is tap water.

And yes that is normal when I am in my bed.

Ban the use of sold iPhone. LOL

What’s the use? Unless you make Apple give the money back…

If I get a written warning, is this a reason good enough to start looking for employment elsewhere?

To those of you not in America. Is it different where you are?

Germany here. We have explicit laws protecting workers.

If the company wants to terminate your contract, then there are only a limited number of specific reasons that are allowed. And then they must observe a notice period usually (1-2 months). The worker can easily go to court against it (costs are moderate) to have it checked.

If they want to fire you immediately (all subsidiaries of foreign corporations usually want that, and most of the German big corpos too), they can suspend you from working, but you still get your pay until the end of the notice period, or you can make a termination agreement that ends the contract immediately and you get all that money (plus maybe a little more, negotiable) at once.

And there is another way: if you have severely violated your duties, then they can terminate you immediately, without paying any longer.

But it is only with very serious violations, where they can argue that it isn’t tolerable for the company to have to endure you any longer. Many such events actually go to court afterwards, so they really have to be careful to do it right.

If the violation was not so severe, they can give you an official warning, usually in writing. You can also go to court against the warning, and the court can nullify it, if it was wrongful.

If you have received a warning and it was valid and afterwards you do the same violation again, then they can also terminate you immediately. And again, you can go to court to have it checked, like above.

Startups are developing a whole suite of technologies to try to help

Do not think that they are seriously trying to save the planet.

(If they had wanted that, they should have done it 30-40 years ago)

They just want to make money, like everybody else.

Oh any worth their salt has been saying it for years.

For decades even.
