Just saw this while getting gas. Why is it illegal to get less than 4 gallons?

I'm in Europe and I have never in my life seen a gas station that dispenses every fuel through just one hose.
Every fuel has its own hose and "pistol". Each "pump" has two or three or four hoses.

You're a good dad. Not just because you helped your son, but even more so because he already had the confidence of knowing he can ask you a question like that.
Keep on doing what you're doing. You're a good dad.

"US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe
Google FATCA, the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.
Anyone anywhere in the world that is either US citizen, or a green card holder, or in other ways related to Murica, must pay US taxes. It's insane, but the US tax system is powerful enough to bully all other countries into compliance.
Don't get me started. 🤮

this would break all encrypted messaging
This is the worst thing in ages. I'm 50+, very good with IT, and I understand that we MUST act against it.
But I'm tired, boss.
Surrounded by lemmings and sheep that love Facebook and WhatsApp. People are stupid. I don't have the energy to fight so much ignorance and stupidity - willful or otherwise.

ZeroTrust Your Home
Zero trust, but you have to use Amazon AWS, Cloudflare, and make your own Telegram bot? And have the domain itself managed by Cloudflare.
Sounds like a lot of trust right there... Would love to be proven wrong.

What a badly written article, wrongly explaining both the diff and the CV joint. That's not what they do or how they work.

Scientists develop mega-thin solar cells that could be shockingly easy to produce: ‘As rapid as printing a newspaper’
"mega-thin"? Is that like "micro-large"?
Pepperidge Farm remembers when journalists had a grasp of the language.

Please take this vote for Voyager. It's a nice nod to Apollo, and it is a real word that people are familiar with.

Vimes' theory of boots!
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

ICE Agents Will Be Deployed at Airports with TSA
It will be a looong time before I set foot in that country again, if ever. I'm very sad that I can't visit my nice friends but nobody should have to risk going to a concentration camp.

What are your must-have selfhosted services?
Didn't see Paperless in these comments yet. Great way to never again search for documents, bills, receipts, warranties, manuals, etc cetera ad nauseam.

Oh, I agree with you! And I'm sure we can have this discussion about almost any current product launch, too.

You need to send this exact text back to the recruiter. I only know a few of the words you used but I am left with the clear impression that you really know your stuff!
