The border crossing music from Sicario.

Oh wow I think I had an account with them but it was so long ago I don’t remember my account details nor any of the photos I uploaded.

And nothing of value was lost.

Just wanted to add that you do get deprioritized over TM, so it might be slow especially in crowded places (i.e. concerts).

Assuming you’re not in the US, that is cheap compared to the big carriers.

Equalizers do not have any effect on vibrato. As you said, it only allows you to selectively enhance or reduce specific frequencies of the sound you’re listening to. So if you set your eq to a sine wave pattern, it will just cut off and increase frequency bands alternately across the spectrum. So it will enhance and reduce the bass frequency at different points, same as with the mids and highs. In the end you’ll get a fairly flat response with some missing tones throughout.

Considering the butterfly effect, I think the safest way to do it is to go back the immediate past 24 hours to have as little a domino effect as possible and prevent altering what I already have in my current life I don’t want to lose. So I’ll probably just go back to yesterday and buy a lottery ticket or something.

I’m not from a native english speaking country, but my parents taught us siblings english first before we learned the local language. There were some minor issues (i.e. other kids won’t talk/play with us because we couldn’t converse well), but it paid off in the long run because we are generally more fluent than the average person from our country, and we have neutral accents when speaking english. It helped a lot working in the corporate world.

Also, make it a habit to wipe down your shower walls after a shower. This prevents gunk build up and mold. It will be harder if you don’t clean it regularly.

Randomly asked my boss to relocate me to another country. I’ve been living abroad for 5 years now.

Don’t go full supervillain, just a little bit less.

Marketplace. Yes it’s full of scammers, but I still manage to buy and sell stuff there. Just do local in-person transactions in safe places and you’ll generally be fine. Also, a lot of my acquaintances are still there, so I still have Messenger to keep in touch. But that’s basically all I use it for.

When setting an auto-reply out of office message, don’t forget to configure it to only reply to internal email senders, else you’ll be sharing some pretty juicy info (names and contact details) to people outside your organization.

Root canals. The procedure has come a long way since the 90s and is relatively smooth and painless now. Obviously having a good and skillful edodontist also helps, but it’s no longer excruciating like decades ago.

Out of curiosity, I checked her wikipedia page. How did she jump from a relatively regular tech career to CEO of BlueSky in 2 years?

It sounds to me you are dealing in absolutes. When someone gives advice saying you don’t need to worry about that based on your threat model, that’s exactly that, nothing political about it. That’s the point of a threat model, so you can balance privacy with convenience and allow yourself to prioritize what you need to protect. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about privacy at all.

You also need to remember that security/privacy is only a fraction of the tech industry. Not everyone involved in tech is privacy conscious, just like why there are appsec teams to make sure devs code securely.

When you start talking about “grapheneos, qubesos, intel me” to the average person, you will obviously be looked at as either a nerd or a paranoid person depending on how you approach the subject. Imagine a non-techie person posts in this community saying they want to start taking steps to improve their privacy and asking for advice. Responding with a wall of text about “grapheneos, qubesos, intel me” will just scare them away. That’s why the first thing people respond with is “What is your threat model?”, because you want context to give proper advice to fit their needs. Going nuclear on the first step is overkill and unnecessary.

Taking tiny steps to improve privacy and not going full hermit doesn’t mean you don’t care about privacy. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I’ve never heard a single Tool song, and I’m a prog rock/metal fan.

1. Purpose - Wanted some protein for Sundubu Jjigae (aside from the tofu) but was too lazy to handle and cook raw meat.
2. Hypothesis - If I used the last remaining frozen, microwaveable burger patties in the freezer, I might be able to add protein into my soup without altering the taste too much from the processed patties.
3. Materials(if any) - Sundubu Jjigae ingredients and frozen fully-cooked burger patties.
4. Procedure - Perpare Sundubu Jjigae according to recipe and add 3-4 burger patties.
5. Observations - The burger patties looked fine even though I threw them in without defrosting. Cook long enough for the patties to defrost and get warm.
6. Conclusions - The patties’ seasoning did not alter the taste of the soup and added the protein I was craving. Success.
