It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

Wake up Neo. Follow the white rabbit

Basically every emulator developer will say that their platform is not for piracy but for backing up your legally purchased games, but it's usually just a "wink wink nudge nudge" type of thing for legal reasons.

... once education is restructured almost entirely.

Not sure how you got "get rid of" from that statement...

At least they'll be nice and tight instead of all stretched out. Those grandparents' bootstraps were never pulled.

We have a Shark robot vacuum, so I called it Sharknado.

Your skin is crawling? That's not what skin is supposed to do. You should sell it. I know a website that will buy it from you.

Don't use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn't really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don't think I've heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.

These little ejector tools are useful for more than just SIM cards. CD/DVD ROM drives have force eject buttons inside tiny little holes that these can reach and push. Many hardware reset buttons are also hidden inside tiny holes.

You could use an unfolded paperclip in a pinch. One of my air purifiers has a reset button inside a hole that is slightly too thin for the paper lips I have on hand. But the SIM ejector tool I keep around fits perfectly.

You misspelled "absolutely". You spelled it a-r-g-u-a-b-l-y. You were almost there, but you only got the first and last two letters correct.

Some people are so desperate for affirmation that this is entirely feasible.
