Perhaps so, alas. And the rates of obesity and diabetes continue to rise. sigh.

Imagine how much plastic waste could be eliminated if we just boycotted these companies.
How do you feel about government backed currencies?
The Real MVP! Thank You!
WAIT A MINUTE!!! You mean Douglas Adams was actually an LLM?
I prefer to vote early, by dropping my completed ballot off at the appropriate location.
Thank you O’ Cog for your toothy, spinny perspective!
I’m not certain about rats specifically, and in humans the marijuana needs to be heated first before it will be psychoactive. If rats were eating marijuana, they’d probably want the seeds which are very nutritious. But marijuana grown for human consumption tends to not have a lot of seeds in it. So I’m with you, there’s some pilfering going on. Now, if one could train a nest of rats to enter the evidence room, and bring out MJ, then it would lower the amount of evidence to be brought to court. I’m just ‘spit balling’ here.
“Why is my house on fire again?” LoL
We’ve got to stick to the important matters, or we’ll never get anything done. I mean geeze, they didn’t even specify which kind of rhino!! I mean there are 5 living species White, Black, Indian, Javan, and Sumatran, that range in size from 700 to 3200kg. All of which I’ve just learned from wikipedia in the last few minutes. Standards, dammit, we need STANDARDS!! :-D
Joke’s on you, I didn’t read the article. lol
Bananas are for scale, not mass. Gah! (lol)
Don’t Panic, Go Organic!
If he “privately expresses” an opinion, why then must we be bludgeoned by it? Can’t wait till I no longer need to know or care anything about #45.
What’s a good FOSS replacement?
More or less like that regarding work. And on weekends it’s nice to go places, and/or have a vehicle to haul stuff. But that’s not everyday. So yeah, common ownership of a vehicle for roadtrips, and/or hauling stuff would be an elegant solution.
LoL, I must be living the ‘life of Riley’, then. My commute is less than a mile, and almost always by bike. And most of my errands, etc can be done by bike, as well. And yet the need for a car in our family is indeed extant.
Thanks, that’s helpful. I’m reluctantly considering purchasing a vehicle, possibly even relatively close to new. The ancient beater I drive when the bike won’t do the job isn’t subject to these issues, and might even be proof against an EMP. Tho’ where the hell I’d get petrol in a post apocalyptic landscape is an as yet unanswered question. lol. I like the idea of the ‘bells and whistles’ of modern conveyances, and do so much in other spheres to limit corporate access that it makes sense to consider how to minimize in the case of a more modern car.
Wouldn’t end-to-end encryption with, for instance, Signal sidestep some of this data collection? Specifically related to text, telephony, video conferencing? Could one use a masked email to put a layer between oneself and one’s car/ car company?
I’m just ‘brainstorming’ as this is a big issue, and I"m sure there are folks that have done deeper study and thinking on these impacts on our privacy. What about using a VPN?
I did notice Altria / Phillip Morris were also in that list. :-(
