In the US, checks are much worse than paying with a credit or debit card. It is much cheaper for a merchant to take checks than either type of card, so that is why they're usually used.

Also, the person in question might be very poor / bad with money and unable to get a credit or debit card.

There are many valid criticisms and potential criticisms of Linux, both as a desktop OS and in general.

Stability is absolutely not one of them.

Because it's pending exposure.

Now if you found a way to turn around and earn interest or earn extra with that money...now you're cooking with gas. Just make sure the earnings are worth the relative risk, and that you hedge against that risk.

Hey, I'd just use VPN anyways. I sure as shit didn't trust spectrum not to sell my data.

I don't know about the underlying technology, but every client I've used for the past couple decades supported groups.

However, they absolutely sucked. There was no way to leave. Unless someone made a new group without you and everyone used that, you'd keep getting messages.

Iirc it was mostly a stupid driver with improper tires on terrain that didn't quite look as bad as it actually was.

The cybertruck doesn't have differentials at all, so it shouldn't need locking diff's.

The entire point of having differentials is to make sure the power from the engine isn't being misdirected to a wheel with no traction, but the cybertruck has independent motors for each wheel.

The difference between the two largely becomes academic after a certain point. Impoverished masses toiling in exchange for minimal benefits so that an oligarchy can strip the nation's economy dry.

It's almost like we can't blindly trust people in power or something.

I don't think any human has sent an SMS message deliberately for about 12 years!

Yes, but it is a problem when we discuss these things. Most people are in favor of banning "assault-style weapons", but people's conceptions of what that means vary wildly.

This is just like asking if people support educating kids. Everyone wants their kids to be educated, but some want their kids taught that the earth is 6,000 years old and that climate change isn't real, and others want them taught the history of systematic oppression in America.

As for the actual bans, I'm not aware of any " assault-style weapons" bans that didn't ban something stupid because it looks scary. Many have included magazine capacity restrictions, which you can definitely make an argument for, but also regulated something stupid, like pistol grips on rifles.

Those definitions tend to be inconsistent and strange though. They often concern themselves with things like pistol grips vs thumbhole stocks, which only impact the ergonomics and the appearance of a firearm, not the function.

And even a barrel size limit is a strange thing to regulate. Short barreled rifles are not inherently more dangerous than regular size rifles. The only reason they are regulated today is as a holdover from a piece of legislation that would have banned handguns.

If you're anti-zionist in 2023, you're calling for the destruction or deportation of 40% of the jews on this planet.

Failure to support one ethnic cleansing does not mean that you support another. It is possible to support no ethnic cleansing.

They likely do. While they are extremely ineffectual, our state assistance agencies are staffed by very well intentioned people.

The problem is the corruption at the top, in political positions, and the idiots thinking they should pull the ladder up behind them by defunding everything that isn't a police or roadway agency.
