Decent. It took a while until it got difficult (400, on a touch-enabled smart phone), I imagine it would be harder with a mouse.

Maybe smaller items for three points such as toppings like pepperoni, but with inverse scoring for the occasional anchovy (-3 if you click/tap it, 0 or +3 (or +1) if you let it hit the ground).

(560 is where I miss as many as I tap and my score balances out - the tapping area is too small / moves to quickly to tap accurately.)

One of the emails had a phone number for the intended recipient, so I called. It was an old person who was definitely confused.

I can easily imagine there are a bunch of older people who do not have email addresses, yet just about everything requires an email address, even if it's not necessary for whatever service, so people have to either make up an address, or incorrectly remember what the address was that their children or grandchildren set up for them.

Either way, that doesn't excuse the companies that spam innocent people.

At least 6 with my not-that-common (maybe somewhere in the middle) first and last name combination.

Maybe more, but at least six of the emails meant for others that I've received, implied they live at those six unique locations.

I know one of them likes to get the vegetarian meal option when traveling internationally by plane.

(Companies should really validate email address OWNERSHIP before spamming innocent people.)

I don't know why the parent comment was flagged dead, but I was typing this reply when it happened:

I'm willing to pay, but I rarely use it, so the price I'm willing to pay has to reflect that, and Adobe is not going to come down that low.

So I will continue to keep an old Windows laptop around with the sole purpose to run Adobe CS6 the maybe 8 times a year when I need it.

TIL I'm a grandma.

The address isn't tied to you, so how would anyone figure it out?

Or

there is a pretty small set of people who can access the information.

Which one is it?

They most likely see displays like that on microwaves.

That has to be some kind of fallacy. Just because something grew large, doesn't mean that it always does good things.

Along the lines of your comment: Apple sent private security that impersonated the police into a personal man's home, but Apple is so large, that means that was okay, right?

industry-standard security measures

The industry-standard is to get hacked and have your info leaked online.

"Industry-standard" is like saying "military-grade"

Very cool, but I tried a plus ("+"), and it didn't show up in the list, even when I clicked "show more" several times.

I hope that person is continuing their job search, because from what I can tell, car dealerships aren't doing too hot right now.

Stop making "disposable" stuff that should be durable and reusable.

Stop making appliances out of plastic that break in 5 years, or with cheap components that the average person doesn't know how or have the ability to fix necessitating a electronic board replacement that costs 90% of a brand new unit.

You're right: a physical security key is a lesser convenience with more hassle than a personal password manager in my case.

I'm pretty sure I read a reddit comment a few years ago where someone said they were a customer in a resturant, and they saw resturant employees click on a mouse attached to the wall to make an announcements (I think notify that an order was ready). It sounds like a very unique setup, so it was probably this one!

I don't understand your comment.

(By the way, presumably there are still about 9 months to go in that pregnancy before the child is born.)

Is your issue with the people themselves, or is your issue people getting justice when they otherwise could not afford it? If your issue is with the people themselves, is it your opinion that justice should only be reserved for people that you like?

Awesome, thank you.

In the picture section (in Google Maps on Android at least), there is a video of it being lit up.

The denotation is correct, but the connotation is wrong. Most people go by connotations, so I disagree with your statement that "speakers would normally call..."

So now people have to trust complete strangers that work at the exchanges that they will never leak, tip-off, etc?

Gizmodo used to be owned by Gawker which went bankrupt due to a lawsuit brought on because they didn't care about a famous person's privacy. So this seems par for the course.

I may be ignorant, but streaming is not the same as torrenting, and The Pirate Bay is known for the latter.

For military service members, 3 months may not be enough.

The address isn't tied to you, so how would anyone figure it out?

Yes it is tied to you, when you spend it.

As a bystander, I appreciate your openness and willingness. However, I'm not sure if the misunderstanding here is a language issue or the issue about kids.

It seems like you view medical sex transitions as similar importance to cancer treatment? I think that is the disagreement the other person has.

People won't have to vote for him again because he can't be voted for again due to the two-term-limit.

Is that just due to his association with Trump?

Personally, I think it was the Joe Rogan podcasts (they got an insane number of views). I figured Trump would win the Electoral College votes, but I was surprised when Trump also won the popular vote.
