It’s a lot more complicated than that. Even if we accept a simplified model where “more oil = more agriculture”, the US has seen massive growth in oil production over the past decade so it contradicts the claim that there’s food shortages because of oil production. If there are food shortages happening right now it’s not at all related to oil production in the US.

I mean I don’t see how it has anything to do with allegations of a secret food crisis, it seems like a non sequitur.

I mostly shop at Costco and am not struggling so maybe my perspective is skewed but it seems like food prices have been coming down recently, and I haven’t noticed any shortages. If you think it feels like things are being covered up that sounds a little paranoid and conspiratorial to me, food distribution in the US is a huge and complicated system involving a whole lot of people, it seems completely implausible that a cover up of a major food crisis would even be possible. There’s just too many people who would notice (and there isn’t any kind of centralized hierarchy involved that could pull something like that off). I don’t see the relevance of shale oil production, the US produces plenty of oil to be both self sufficient and one of the largest oil exporters in the world. If you’re concerned the US doesn’t have enough oil or something like that you really shouldn’t be.

Get some Revolution Pro or Advantage, follow the directions on the box. They are very effective unless you have a serious infestation, which it sounds like you don’t. Just make sure it’s the cat version and for the correct weight range of your cats.

I recently started to use my phone to monitor the conditions of my plant collection with a couple of Sensorpush devices. They report temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and vapor pressure once a minute via Bluetooth, and I get a notification if conditions deviate from what I set. It has been very helpful at dialing in things in and responding to problems.

A week or two ago, because of other drivers doing stupid and dangerous things.

I feel like I’ve hit them all at this point.

Or, just use a password manager and simplify your life. Reusing any password is bad practice, even if the account doesn’t seem important. Every account really should have a randomly generated unique password. A password manager solves all of these problems.

You should get a dashcam if you don’t have one.

He also got caught secretly funding a racist trolling group to spread hate and harass people.

The Economist does not typically list individual authors on their articles.

It’s been awhile since I set it up so I don’t fully remember, I think they need their own bitwarden account. Here’s the documentation on the feature: https://bitwarden.com/help/emergency-access/

Bitwarden shared vault. There’s also a feature where you can designate someone to gain access to your vault via a dead man’s switch.

Wow, from the article you linked here’s one of them plotting to wield a fascist mob against a journalist just like a proper villain, in case there were any doubts:

“If things get hot, it may be interesting to sic the Dark Enlightenment audience on a single vulnerable hostile reporter to dox them and turn them inside out with hostile reporting sent to *their* advertisers/friends/contacts,” Mr. Srinivasan said in an email viewed by The New York Times, using a term, “Dark Enlightenment,” that was synonymous with the neoreactionary movement.

Y Combinator seems like a nexus of creepy and unhinged techbros, I’m not surprised they have a CEO who wields antisemitic conspiracy theories against his critics.

It’s full Android with the Play store but wifi only, no cell modem. You can install whatever you want just like on a phone, you just can’t do calls or SMS. I haven’t tried Google Maps on it but I’m sure it works, although you might need to adjust things to make it look better. I’ve used it to send audio to Bluetooth devices but haven’t tried the built in speaker, I wouldn’t expect it to sound good.

Boox Palma, a phone sized e-reader that runs Android. I read a lot more books and I think the e-ink display makes it easier to fall asleep.

The Democratic party is a big tent and California is a big state with lots of competing interests. California does tend to lead the US in adopting progressive policies but the reality is progressives are one faction among many.

Take a look at Meta revenue numbers, they can afford billions in R&D investment just fine. I’m not sure what market share you’re talking about but there’s plenty of money for them to afford the VR research they do.
