Never give cops your phone, yes. Also, don’t use biometrics to lock your phone. Police can legally force you to unlock with your thumb print, they legally (and like, physically) cannot force you to reveal a passcode stored only in your brain.

30 years ago that’s just who he was. The local fuckstick who would pick crazy arguments at the bar. It was almost a rite of passage in Austin to get into a fight with him.

Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal “my body/blood” is.

That’s not exactly what the Haka is. They were often performed as a precursor to war, but not exclusively. They’re also used as a celebratory ritual, you’ll see modern day Maori doing a haka for kids graduating school for example.

Good idea, but again: wool socks will stay surprisingly warm even while wet.

If you’re in the arctic circle long enough, it helps to have many options though.

Layers are the way to go.

1. Long Underwear, a long sleeve breathable undershirt, good WOOL socks
2. A sweater or other medium-thickness top garment.
3. Waterproof snow pants and coat.

Good boots, preferably waterproof if you’ll be in the snow a fair amount. Definitely good so you have better grip on snowy/icy ground. Thin “liner” gloves and thick waterproof gloves to go over those. A warm hat that covers your ears (I really appreciated my trapper hat when I went to Tromsø).

Avoid cotton. Cotton is horrible at insulating if it gets wet, as opposed to wool which can keep you warm while fully drenched.

Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.

There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.

A sub is a pretty difficult driving meal though, if you have any care for the cleanliness of your car. Lots of ingredients threatening to spill out of the bread at any moment.

A friend of mine went to Vegas once and we only got 2 texts from him in the group chat the entire time.

Day 1: I’m up!

Day 5: I’m down.

Yeah, but if you get caught with a paper trail and only one comma, nobody’s gonna jump to your defense.

FWIW, I think this injunction was not about election integrity, but gambling laws.

But yeah, bribery is legal if you have that third comma in your net worth.

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

Fitness isn’t something you just achieve and it’s done. You need to keep exercising to retain that level of fitness.

His real money comes from Amazon Web Services, and that’s really hard to divest from, even if its customers (businesses rather than individuals) wanted to.

His whole set was also loaded into the teleprompter, so they knew what he was gonna say.

God I fuckin hope so.
