I've used this place, happy to recommend- https://bulkmemorycards.com/shop/microsd-cards/microsd-class...

Not sure that “spinning up a new Ponzi scheme” covers the magnitude of the potential for new crimes here. Somewhat ironic call out of common sense…

When the power goes out, what happens to an “electrically-powered analog clock?”

Technically it's not the tip of a spark plug, but a shard of the ceramic insulator when shattered- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_rocks

I think you're forgetting that public schools serve a purpose other than enriching the wealthy. I have such a hard time with takes like these. Would you have public schools turning away children that can't pay?

Who said anything about ISPs?

I think you've got the wrong guy.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of taxes. They are not designed to kill people.

I would argue that the sea between "sex slavery" aaaand "sex worker" is just as vast as that between professional engineer and enslaved engineer. Again, polite society would have you think otherwise...

The article suggests "micro-scratching" as a cheating technique. Wouldn't just completely scratching off and re-applying the scratch material be the easiest way to cheat?
