Even the play store is sandboxed. Those stupid games covered in ads, no where near as bad when the app never has a network connection or access to any files outside its directory.

Umm... Around the year 2000 I worked at a couple of different convenience stores in the south, ours were never cleaned, shit they were rarely changed with the exception of Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper because our regulars would tear through them. I remember the lines being clear...ish? They had the embedded nylon or whatever in the clear tube but ours were way nastier than my 18 year old brain wanted to realize.

Totally not advocating violence but have you looked into PCP rifles (or handguns). They are not the air rifles of my childhood, they are quite impressive. Most importantly they aren't considered firearms so you can get them in lots of flavors (single shot, semi auto, full auto) mailed right to your door. Lots of calibers to choose from (I think I've seen a couple .72 caliber out there), but I'm a fan of small calibers for the cost (500 shots for around $10 if going with cheap 14.3 gr pellets).

My current favorite is an air venturi avenger in .22 caliber. I get around 40-60 shots between airing it up, I used a hand pump for a few months but could never get much above 3,000 psi, with a relatively cheap compressor I get it up to around 4,300 psi (4,300 is the max for mine, I usually stop it a little shy).

I'd definitely agree, solid ground and a tent would make putting them in the sleeping bag a bit less important (plus then you can use them as a pillow). Having them in our bag was just something I was taught in basic training and it worked well the few times I have woken up with frost or ice on my outer shell (all Army related "camping").

In the decades since I've slowly shifted from big tents to a small travel trailer, it's so much better on my joints lol.

Overall I liked a couple things I hadn't thought of (NGOs), but the end of the article... that just sounded like any other consultancy service to me. Perhaps that's too harsh but it doesn't feel like a new career field (just my opinion).

Just to toss this out there, don't put your clothes actually under the sleeping bag unless the goal is wet clothes. Definitely strip down in your sleeping bag though, this way you don't sweat all night and have warm/dry clothes to put on before climbing out in the morning. There have been mornings I've had to crack the ice off my outer shell and been fine climbing out. Seems like a lifetime ago but that was what we were taught in the Army... now I have a small camper because... well because I don't want to have an extra soreness when I wake up lol.

As long as it doesn't get too hot, or too cold... or to windy... Or wet... Come to think of it, a lot of stuff has managed to grind Texas to a halt lately.

That's messed up. Just on the basis of it being a picture of a different door is grounds for a refund, that clearly shows they did not deliver it to the address they were paid to deliver it to. Super frustrating and I hope it all gets worked out for you.

Or they just call it a under documented or undocumented feature (thinking specifically about the Azure feature to let you access other tenants if they are using that Tenable reported last June).

Yep, I have a box with all my cell phones (as well as my wife's phones) going back to 2005 when I was able to get my first one. Man I miss my Razor v3 and the OG Motorola Droid, at least I can still look at them.

Still rocking a Pebble Steel from a decade ago, I tried a fitbit and Galaxy one but this Pebble has outlived them all. Thankfully I managed to find a silicon band for it when the leather one finally gave up on me.

I mean it was pretty damn popular from what I remember. Lifetime sales for the PSP is over 82 million (not counting PS Vita sales), the DS is another pretty common handheld of the time, sold 154 million across four versions (DS Lite counted for around 93 million of them).

Checking the wiki shows it as the 11th most sold console of all time (PS2 still holds that spot for now).
