Coffin nails, iirc.

Surprised I haven't seen this suggested h're yet: Pirate the music and anonymously mail money to the artists directly.

I've never made an attempt at an anonymous checkout there, but Beatport.com offers a lot of lossless music I couldn't find anywhere else on-line.

Smart. That shit costs money.

Holy crap, this is the exact shape of the wall-mounted desk I've got mine sitting on in the garage. My family thought it was weird, and I've never seen it used for a 3D printer setup elsewhere.

Militias are supposed to be organized by the states, or at least beholden to their state. An anti-government group is a poor fit for the term, no mater how many racist gun-clubs lay claim to it.

A default judgement just reitterates the debt. If they don't garnish your wages or seize your tax return or put a lein on your property, none of which they can do for most categories of debt, there is no reason to treat a judgement as anything more substantial than another harrassing letter/phone call. I'm not sure it even hits your credit report as new activity.

99% of creditors won't bother to sue in any court that has jurisdiction over the debtor. They "sue" in "courts" that rubber-stamp all "debts"(for multiple debtors at a time) to no meaningful end, other than they can now say they took you to court and you lost, so now you should totally give them money or they'll ... "sue" again.

Depending on the state, any debt with no new activity falls off your Credit History after 7 years(5 in my state). Agreeing to pay, or making a payment, counts as new activity. Don't pay on shit that you cannot afford to pay off in full over whatever time-frame. Don't agree to payment plans that don't reduce the debt witt each payment.

Even if they agree to a lower total amount, it goes on your credit report as being written-off, which often has a worse effect on your score than ignoring the debt.

Right there with you. I have cheap sets in case I loose the carbide-tipped ones in the size I want between pay-checks, and to lend out, but if one of those cheapos goes egg-shaped, I'm more likedy to throw it away or find another use for it than to try to fix it.

The Fairphone 5 has a micro-SD card slot -that 128GB is expandable. The limitations of such devices are more down to the availability of mobile apps in general than down to the hardware, ie, by owning an android or IOS phone, you're already suffering a disadvantage vs full PCs that Fairphone is no worse about than any of the "premier" phone manufacturers.

The lagging performance over time you're worried about would be more down to OEM OS update bloat, an issue I don't foresee with Fairphone.

That said, if it were much cheaper to fix my phone than to replace it, I'm going that route unless the new option is a significant upgrade, by which I mean new features, not performance stats. A better, more privacy-respecting OS is such a feature to me, so it would come down to budget.

You can fix the warping, or close-enough to "fixed", if you're poor or cheap or just obsessed with wringing the value from each purchase ( hi ).

Luckilly, the line between "fixable" and "holy shit, this things wobbling so much its going to grab, walk its way off the board, and cut into my leg" is readilly apparent, to anyone who has any business using such tools.
