They don't even have to be blue! You can have useless ticks in many different colors!

Seems like a good way to get ants

Drive throughs absolutely need ways for people to leave, though I'm not sure if there are many great ways one can be implemented without increasing the (already quite large) concrete/asphalt footprints of suburban fast food buildings. I see a lot of concrete curb islands that only seem to serve the purpose of locking people into the wait, and those would be a great place to start.

In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

You see, the thing is that this particular house actually required a lot of skill and planning to make

Because TurboTax lobbied to change the narrative to "we already have private market solutions for tax, therefore the government hosting a no-cost option is actually wasteful and bad for the budget"

Technically, almost all of Antarctica is located north of the south pole

I don't disagree that they're different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably

There's a crowd-sourced effort to catalogue these cameras on OSM.

In the US, I've heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it's freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced "sherbert") if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that's event pricing for ya)

Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I'm pretty sure that's a brand name we use as a generic term.

Unless already updated, there's no way for trans people in the United States to leave without outing themselves or moonlighting since the Passport Office changes by the current admin went through

A little clunky but really fun!

 

I use Firefox whenever I can.

On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.

I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.

It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.

Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips
