Wouldn't this be a state or city level crime?

My experience has been bad tasting food or past food poisoning puts people off leftovers...

I love leftovers... especially something like soups or lasagna that are better after a day or two.

But if you can't keep up or tell if something has gone off... then leftovers can be a bad thing if you spend hours chained to the toilet.

My SO was skittish about leftovers, now I'm the standard - if I won't eat it, it gets tossed. (I have had food poisoning so I don't have a weird superpower against off food)

Do you have a website recommendation that's accurate? Or are they all pretty much the same?

It would have been funnier to say 'speaks random Italian words' for the people relying on CC

In college, early 90s, our student IDs had our photo and SSN on it

I've operated ever since under rhe assumption anyone and everyone has access to it.

Then with all the data breaches over the last 10/15 years? Freeze credit reports with the 3 reporting agencies for free. Check for extra accounts with the free annual credit report pulls.

For all practical purposes, our SSNs are easily obtained by someone who wants it.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but a unique identifier has to be housed somewhere where in can be accessed in a format humans can read, which means it can be accessed and dumped so it's no longer private or secret.

I'm not a fan of biometrics, and I tolerate 2FA. I really think it's more important we change how we think about and use personal, unique, identifiers (like SSNs)

We elect the Bernie's and the AOC's to correct the bloodthirsty capitalists, they get sidelined by the status quo and fight hard for scraps. Our popular vote gets overridden by the Electoral College. The US Supreme Court, whom we don't elect and can't remove for blatant corruption, take away our rights and allow corporations to be "people" (Citizens United case)...

We try to elect people who run on fixing things and enshrining into law the rights we've fought for. Sometimes those people get elected, switch parties and/or their votes, and fuck over the voters (look up state representative Tricia Cotham in NC for a blatant example)

Vigilantes happen when the system and rule of law fails the people instead of protecting, serving, and holding accountable.

Vigilantes are the result of a complete leval, moral, and ethical failure against society. (Look up Ken McElroy for an example that seems made up to prove a point, but isn't)

The average person, not in politics, trying to work and live, has the power of their vote and their voice. Some want change & safety nets, some want fascism & power, some are silent - apathetic or overwhelmed. What happens when our vote and voice isn't enough?

We see UHC deny care in a system we are paying into. What are our options? March? Write letters? Vote? How do we change the system and make a UHC cover the medical costs we need and that we are paying them to cover?

Where is the moral, ethical, legal fix for people having their quality of life trashed or losing their lives to delayed or denied treatment?

I agree that the answer should not be a vigilante. But this is an unfair world and there should not be a lot of things. Give me a solution other than "murder is bad guys, mmkay"

Should the alleged perp, should he be found guilty spend a certain amount of time in prison? Yes. And whomever did it probably knows that and is prepared.

Should the alleged shooter have terroism charges? No. Especially when people like Dylan Roof (who sat in a church service before opening fire to start a race war did not get those charges)

The system is worried right now. It's pushed people to the breaking point. What happens next will directly affect the quality of life for hundreds of millions of people, for our children and our grandchildren.

Will the system compromise or put a boot on our necks?

The people who can actually change things have to think it's in their best interest to do so.

What I'm reading out of this... there's going to be a massive shortage of senior programmers in 20(?) years. If juniors aren't being let go/not hired and AI is doing junior work....

AI will have to massively improve or else it's going to be interesting when companies are trying to hold on to retirement age people and train up replacement seniors to verify the AI delivers proper code.

What are you switching to? Haven't canceled yet because I need my VPN for testing but need to switch very soon.

Why you gotta call me out.

[–] ericatty@infosec.pub 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm in a safe-ish area and was told 2 claims in 3 years and they wouldn't renew my insurance. Been here over 20 years and had one claim 10 years ago.

Had lightning hit and called the insurance directly, they opened a claim number but we ended up not using it. Meaning they paid $0 because it turned out to be a simple fix, it was just scary in the moment at 3am with water gushing out (not into the house). So we just paid the $300 to fix it and they closed the claim.

Two years after that we called when a tree hit the house, went a different route and called the independent agent first, not the insurance company directly and that's when we learned if we started a claim for the tree damage, they probably wouldn't renew. Ended up being almost $3000 out of pocket so we can keep the house insured and the mortgage company happy.

From experience, we tend to use the same two burners, and one particular one, the most, by far. (Front left for us) After 15 years, the plastic on the underside of the original knob got worn and loose and almost broke. We rotated the burner knobs. The oven knob is doing the same thing, but it'll need to be replaced or repaired. Like someone else said, they aren't usually all metal construction, there's plastic on the inside.
