    It’s very different handing my ID to a store clerk, who barely looks at it because my birth year starts with 19, from uploading a photo of that ID to a sketchy service who now has a permanent documentation of precisely who I am and what sort of freaky shit I’m into.

    Sure, the tracking services already know this, but they don’t also have a photo of my ID that I willingly gave to them to prove it’s me.











  • Something I don’t often see discussed in these comment sections is how many companies have group purchasing agreements and contracts that supersede the price increases of tariffs.

    For example, I work for a Healthcare company who is a part of a group of organizations that have an external company negotiate contracts on their behalf, flexing their power as a group to get better deals.

    Goods imported still get taxed, but the prices are supposed to stay the same, but if things get to the point where operational costs completely outweigh breaking contracts, you might see things just… Stop.







  • The article doesn’t give much, and a lawyer claiming something is considerably damaged when defending a client is always hyperbolic. Did you look up more info?

    Either way, 30 mill could set you and your descendants (should you be able to make any) for life. Life’s pretty damn short, so never having to work again at the cost of not being able to crank it anymore? I’d seriously consider it.


  • A quick search says that coffee is typically made at around 200°F (93°C), and water can cause 3rd degree burns within a couple of seconds of contact at 150°C (60°C), so it’s not unthinkable that a freshly made coffee would be dangerous.

    A proper cup with a secure lid would make the difference.
