You lose the authz of a phone number to send from. SMS gateways are super jank in my experience.

Wish we could axe sms and rcs, too

If you want to know what Kix cereal had to say - you could follow Kix

Please! No more!

Yes, if the government asks someone to do that on their behalf and you are literally doing that you could easily hit a United States vs Carpenter violation.

It’s not legal most likely.

Yes! Re: United States vs Carpenter

Yo dude they’re kicking down doors in America and oops! Sometimes kill regular ass Ugg boots moms!

Just say you want a gestapo. We already know.

Hahaha

Dude I play eve online! We compete for these unpaid space jobs where you have to read reports and click a button on a website without even logging into the game.

Heck I play with at least one ports commit guy from a bsd

Just use lithium grease.

Got it. So in your case, here's what I would do:

Take the can of WD-40© out of your hand and replace it with the can of CRC© White Lithium Grease. All subsequent steps are the same.

I would then hide your screwdrivers so you don't disassemble anything. Just spray it with lube. :)

Lithium grease.

Petroleum oils aren't really good for hinges (which I assume is what is squeaking) for a variety of reasons. If you use wd-40, you find that the squeak goes away and quickly returns, sometimes worse. The reason for this is that WD-40 will wash out any grease or oil in the hinge as well as attract whatever dirt or dust is around, both worsening the squeak.

3-in-1 (in the dropper can) is a good, effective lubricant but it has an important drawback that is shares with WD-40, it will wash out any grease already in there as well as attract dirt. 3-in-1 (tin dropper bottle) is great for light mechanical duty like a bike chain or as cutting oil and even some gears, but it wont work well as a deck lube, way oil, or hinge grease because of its very light weight.

Here's a brand and type that I recommend for doors. CRC is an excellent source of this type of chemical, and my personal go-to. https://www.crcindustries.com/white-lithium-grease-10-wt-oz-...

Lithium grease (sometimes called White Grease) is excellent for door hinges because it is dry, wont drop, will spread instead of being pushed out like oil (even 3-in-one), and lasts forever. Since its pretty dang thick and not really a liquid even in the spray version, it also wont drip onto your carpet as readily while you apply it. Get the spray version, protect the paint behind the hinge with a towel or a piece of printer paper(TIP: Cut the paper %85 of the way in half long-way (hotdog fold) and slide the paper over the hinge as you spray it with the door closed and from a bit of an angle, pay more attention to the top part, just under the head of the hinge pin. That should be more than enough. Spray-on oil would soak the paper, lithium grease won't so this is another benefit of lithium)) and give it a couple squirts while working the door. Wipe the excess off and enjoy years of squeak-free operation!

It is perfect for light-duty applications where the lube sticking to its lubricating point is important. White Lithium Grease is [Edit, its Lithium soap? whatever that is.] and mineral oil, sticks to metal excellent, and is compatible with almost all bushing rubber.

More (Gratuitous) Suggestions from the WD-40© Corporation:

Use Lithium grease in applications like lubricating your car's hood latch. Spray on WD-40© liberally to clean off any junk in the car hood latch/catch, clean with a rag as best you can, and after it dries, spray the mechanism with White Lithium Grease.

If your garage door chatters in its track channels, wipe the dust and debris from the channel after cleaning with WD-40© and after its dry, slather some Lithium Grease paste on the inside of the tracks. You can also apply a slight excess of Lithium Grease to the springs in the garage door to quiet the rattle and twanging.

If you have a squeaky rubber bushing in some shop equipment like a press, lift, or clamp; If you have any slowing or binding plastic-on-plastic part movement like in a drawer or lid, a dab of Lithium grease will quiet, lubricate, and protect plastic, metal rubber and such materials while not deteriorating them like a petroleum based lubricant would. Lithium grease is also water retardant, but not water proof! Make sure to not apply Lithium Grease to any metal which isn't BONE DRY! If you have a damp part, WD-40© is a perfect tool to clean and dry your part before lubrication.

You can also literally just spray a rubber or plastic part with Lithium Grease (or just silicone oil, which is cleaner and much better for rubber and plastics but IMPOSSIBLE to clean, so DO NOT SPILL and wear gloves. Seriously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30286616 ) to protect/shine them up. It will work totally well on your tires, but I don't like that idea because it might fling onto your paint or transfer to your rotor if you touch it while swapping wheels. Seems it might work well to prevent dry-rot during storage, now that I think about it. I feel like basically nobody does this though.

Thank you for this opportunity. I had a lot of fun thinking about one of my favorite lubricants, which is of course silicone, and I expect that it will add much value to your life!

[edit: all the references to WD-40© in the More Suggestions part are true, but also jokes used to illustrate the marketing genius of WD-40©. You don't need it, and there's a decent chance that what you're about to spray it on will only get worse, but yeah, it does work really well. I also just think its pretty funny to have a can of WD-40© while knowing its true purpose, so that when some jerk like me comes along with his or her "AKTUALLY, WD-40© is a solvent not a lubricant!" you will then be free to utilize whichever form of verbal jui-jitsu you desire in dispatchment of this interloper as you reply, "Yeah! I use it every day … !"]

Fun fact: WD-40 is not a penetrating lube/oil!

Iirc WD-40 = Water Displacement, formula #40

It was originally designed to displace water for corrosion resistance and cleaning. (Edit I think it was originally used for de-icing in an aerospace context?) You probably will never need a single can of WD-40 in your life. Try PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench!

I guess so, it’s certainly no secret that US soft power has been a HUGE part of foreign policy, but I do t really see the connection between cointelpro( which had a lot of moving parts, like infiltration of news rooms in the USA and following around black student on college campuses for example) and this soft power.

American soft power is good. It means we don’t need to use direct action aka bombs and missiles.

I just reject your claims on this. US soft power is, for the United States, good and desirable.

Well he got mad about the Canadian version of “A letter to our colleagues” and then endlessly harped on that in social media. Like, years and years later he got a board review, but it’s not like a “some stuff I tweeted” or some “opinions shared on social media”, it was trading on his professional credentials to ply a self-help business scheme among other stuff iirc

Can you please tell me which organizations are just mouthpieces because they closed down due to lack of funding vs just closed due to lack of funding?

It makes perfect sense that when an organization loses funding it ceases operations, why is this now evidence of cointelpro?

well for food, its that "where its needed" is somewhere really specific: Plenty of food, just not paid for.

Sure, he could have done a Trump and ruled by executive fiat? Biden Admin had some pretty good wins, like CHIPs act is a standout. But man lucky we didn't backrupt the Country by forgiving some student loans amirite?

Biden removed troops from Foreign Wars, Donald Trump does the opposite and instead pretends he stopped 8 wars or something.

This is just poor memory. Us Americans are notorious for this, unfortunately.

Actually, Donald Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame#2013

So Yes, in effect, these people are literally watching WWE.

TFA says that ice approaches the kid and made him knock on his own door for them, so no, this doesn’t comport with the reporting here at all.

I find this so worthwhile though:

"Sometimes you are just sitting there, thinking of nothing in particular, and suddenly the thought of someone or a particular event or situation pops up in the mind, seemingly out of nowhere. From there, a whole chain of thoughts begins to unfold, and if you are not mindful, you can easily get lost in it."

Man, if only 18-year-old-me could have realized this!!

Thanks!

Apple should use its bajillions and quadrillions of cash-dollars to spin up a new fab. The Chinese reportedly have EUV in testing right? Maybe there are other partners willing to play ball?

you could also try using 6to4 or somesuch but this is new to me as well. Interested!

One can hope! Can we get national legislation please or is this just for Red States?

Nope. We are failing to invest now in any potential future generation, it seems?

Would love to be demonstrated to be wrong! I heard rumblings of a few reatarted nuclear reactors out there, but its like... that a few dozens of Mw?

Looks grim boy & girls!

Yeah I came to dunk on the sub -0.10% penalty. Wow it’s like why bother right?

Yup! Tip: lock em in and verify a regular cell phone number and then port it. They can probably make it work for you if it’s like a bank, otherwise yolo.

The real devices are around $500+++ for rf survey analyzers and special near-field antenna.

Wow this sucks! however if i were iranian brass i would do it too. IT/OT and IoT is not safe full stop. Pull the plug. It wouldnt be pretty over here either, also china already got us good (Volt Typhoon, OPM hack, why bother to list 30 or 40 more?)

what? I'm reading this as: "We're gonna need oil for fuel when we go to war with china"

But south America is easily blockaded in times of war the oil (if we needed it) would be ours regardless. Second, we don't need it, we've been a net exporter for like over a decade now right?

Its been a few days. It turns out this was a simply capricious and erratic act on the part of Donald Trump, and we stand to essentially benefit not one iota as a country from it!

That’s interesting who are they? The few venezuelas I know hate it too, so like is this a gulf war 1 or Iraq war 2?

This usually (never) goes well for the USA. (Source: pick a regime change war.)
