Im not exactly sure the mechanics of it, but when a new number is activated (or a number changes carriers, etc) it pings some database that spammers have access to, and know that that number is live. Ive had it happen every time ive hanged carriers or set up a phone for someone. Dies down to normal levels in a couple months.
This feels like it belongs in LiminalSpaces
We’re only a couple weeks in, but I think its good so far. I think the bigger pro to the switch is futurr proofing against dnd enshitification
Mechwarrior 5: Clans ! And my DnD group recently switched over to Pathfinder 2e
Youre looking for an Onyx Boox tablet - a little pricey, but worth it for the un-enshitified tablet.
Best roguelike ever, in my oppinion, is ADOM. Especially using the original ASCII graphics. It has more depth and content than any other game Ive encountered. And the original version is still completely free (paid version adds pixel graphics and some advanced options)
This about the only i still use reddit for
Being the reason they put up a sign.
Because we dont have a feb 29 EVERY four years…
I have Prime Video cause Im still on my dads family plan, otherwise I wouldnt pay for it. Theres a couple series/mini series that are decent. They also have a deep catalogue of B-list sci-fi movies that I enjoy sometimes…
The Boys has stadily gone downhill, to the point S04 was outright tedious to watch, at least for me.
Fallot was really good, and I hope they dont ruin it.
I can make more money working during the delivery process than Id save by picking it up myself or taking time to cook.
I hate that I agree with this, but yup.
To add to this, back that local hardrive up on a REMOVABLE drive, and keep it physically detached. We are all one lightning strike away from near total loss.
I use it as one of several sites…there are some things they are still the best / most convenient for. For cheap chinese crap (which is often all I need for small projects etc) temu and aliexpress now undercut amazon considerably. For quality items that are ok to buy used, ebay.
ANYTHING that costco sells will almost always be the best choice, but they have a very limited selection.
So in short, amazon is very much still in play, but as one of many, not the go-to anymore.
Strong dissagree. I am barely functional pre-caffeine in the early morning. A Keurig is about as much mental energy as I can muster to operate. It is a godsend to me on day I work early.
