The babies yearn for the mines

You can pay employees with cash legally, but it’s a royal PITA and OP would still be “in the system” so to speak via income taxes and the like. The not-so-legal method would be for an employer to operate a cash-heavy business in which they’d basically take cash from the till and hand it directly to the employee, not recording either the income to the business or the dispersement to the employee. The issue can be that if the business doesn’t operate with much cash on hand, they’d have to basically withdraw it from the ATM to give to OP, but (depending on how the business is structured) it would likely count as a personal dispersement to the business owner that they’d be taxed on and they wouldn’t be able to claim it as a business expense, unless they did some fuckery with their books and run the risk of getting nailed by the IRS.

If a bad actor like a hacker manages to get a copy of it, the sensitive stuff will be encrypted.

You know doctors offices are still one of the main users of facsimile transmission, right?

I have a 10th gen x1, I’m plenty happy with it

Lol spoken like someone who’s never actually shot a gun

There’s certainly something to be said about the inflated price of homes. It used to be that when houses were $200-250, that 3% was a fairly reasonable fee for all the leg work a realtor should be doing (there’s a lot of backend paperwork done in the office). But I’ll agree now that houses are stupid expensive, it’s excessive. It’s also important to remember that the entire real estate industry is purely commission, no one gets paid unless houses sell (everyone from agents, transaction coordinators, title reps, escrow people, etc). My wife is an agent, and when houses aren’t selling, she isn’t making anything, and she works her ass off.

Good Bourbon.

Endeavour is fantastic. I’ve been using Arch since high school, but hung it up for a few years until last year when I’d had enough of Windows’ shit. EOS takes the PITA out of the install process (I just don’t have the time these days to dig as deep as I used to), but is the same Arch experience in usage.

I’d imagine the receiver’s location could possibly be tracked, but the bigger thing of restricting communications to officials channels while on duty is to ensure anyone on the ship doesn’t let slip sensitive information that could compromise the mission or ship’s safety.

Most of Arco/BPs new pumps don’t allow mute as far as I’ve found, I just layer electrical tape on the speaker

That’s a surefire way to violate the warranty, nevermind most average folks won’t even bother

don’t phone home info to China or BYD

You can guarantee they will. If we can somehow prevent that, I’m game. In fact, I’d rather all car manufacturers cut the data vacuum crap, and every other industry for that matter.

Some people also suck

Or muskrat having an aneurysm

I think it has to do with the fact that most European toilets put the reservoir up high either on or in the wall, and gravity helps blast the dook down the drain. I have one of those up high ones with the chain flush in my house (US), and that toilet never clogs.

I prefer not to put my hand on the business end of the doodie derby rod, thank you very much

You can see now that some people are trying to establish their own realities as truth, ie changing facts, rewriting history, etc. What’s to say a certain set of assholes gained power, rewrote the archives for their own purposes, and those archives are what survived WWII?

I mean, I had a mainline kernel update bork my system last month

Is it really a spoiler if it’s been 5 years?
