SSNs are not reissued after death and never have been. I’ve been seeing a lot of people comment this, but I’m not sure where they’re getting it from. (They’re not unique for other reasons, however.)

Yes.

Just scrolling through shorts on a given day, I’m usually recommended at least one short by someone infamously hostile to the LGBTQIA+ community. I get that it could be from people with my interests hate-watching, but I don’t want to be shown any of it. (Nearly all of my YouTube subscriptions are to LGBTQIA+ creators. I’m not subscribed to anyone who has ever even mentioned support for right leaning policies on anything.)

I love the duckie!

Not to argue for creationism, but this argument sucks. Lead can be produced by supernova, not just through decay of heavier elements. But even that’s besides the point, since if you believe some entity created the universe, surely said entity could have created whatever ratio of lead to uranium they wanted. It’s not a falsifiable claim, there’s really no disproving it, unfortunately.

(Not so fun fact: the environmental impact of leaded gasoline was discovered by trying to estimate the age of the earth using the radio of lead to uranium in uranium deposits, but the pollution from leaded gasoline was throwing the measurements off.)

The country of Brazil makes something like 20x Musk’s total net worth, but every year.

It’s a set of patches for the base ISO, so hopefully it’s pretty resistant to takedown? In either case I’m downloading it now while it’s up.

My friend group did a video game Secret Santa back in January. Incidentally, I think 6 out of the 7 games had some form of pronoun choice, with like 4/7 directly letting you choose and the other two being a character selector with fixed pronouns for the characters. Cassette Beasts was the first game opened, and there were quite a few references to that one streamer yelling about pronouns.

I have a coworker who swears by it, particularly for C development.

• A bidet attachment.
• For me, an under-the-sink trash can that hands on the cabinet door has been a huge QoL improvement.
• A back scratcher.
• Much more situational, but our back gate has a padlock that was originally different from our house keys. Kwikset actually sells “programmable” padlocks so now it is the same key as our front door, which makes life a tad easier.
• A computer mouse that fits my hands.
• Enough phone and laptop chargers to not have to constantly go to another room to grab one.

One of the people emailed could potentially report the suspicious behavior, especially if one gets burned by the made up sports advice.
