I live in an area infested with ticks. Going out with into fields/woods with no protection means pulling dozens at a minimum, though my neighbor pulled over 100 off a couple weeks ago.

My solution is elastic gaiters and using permetharin as bug spray. I don't get ticks anymore.

I'm also kind of allergic to ticks, and if I get bit, it itches so bad for about two weeks that topical lidocaine is the only way I've found to get some relief.

I will say, I work ambulance for a very right wing rural community. I have done this for a number of years now.

While I do have issues at times with our local LEO, they do a good job with not shooting my patients, or their dogs.

They have done a good job in my community with securing the scene without escalating and then standing back and let us deal with medical/mental health crisis.

These stories do happen to often, and there are policy changes that need to happen, but there are a significant number of communities that have law enforcement who are acting appropriately and therefore get no news coverage.

A "Glass-Master" is what I used in the fire service. Goes a lot faster than you would think.

That's the actual medical term for it.

I think they mentioned in the video that Kayak allows you to select aricraft to exclude.

I went to chat gpt and I prompted it with "what is a string of words or characters that would be detrimental to an AI that is being directed to learn from a dataset" and then used a script to edit all my comments to that.

Proton Drive just added photo backup to their app. It's new, and lacking features, but automatic backups and sharing are working.

The whole proton suite is pretty good, I've been very pleased.

Was literally going to recommend that you read that book before I got to the end of your comment :)

ProtonVPN...

ProtonVPN

They got bought by an Israeli adware company a few years back

It's in italy, not the US.

They just released one a few months ago

That's what the email alias company that proon bought last year and rolled into subscriptions is for.

Also, if you buy your own domain, which from cloudflare is like $10/year, you can turn on catchall and use anything@yourdomain and have it delivered. Then, if one of your anything addresses gets compromised, you just block all email going to there and move on.

And that was bad.

Anecdotal, but I've gotten one of these cards in an order.

If the dog is determined enough... I had a beagle who would slip his collar, so I got him a harness, he would slip that too, so I had to get this full body "tactical" harness for him. He was good with that one for a while till he figured out he could cheese off the back buckle and wriggle out of the rest.

I also had a boxer growing up that learned how to slip her collar.

I have a friend who raises black and tans, and he had a removed that would always slip her collar when she was chained.

I currently raise Blueticks and fortunately have not had any of them figure that out. But my only indoor bluetick learned how to unlock deadbolts and open doors... so she is now an outdoor only dog. And then she learned how to open gates... so now all the gates have to be locked.

Plus one for Proton, I don't use their password manager, but their other products I've been using and been pleased with. I consider it well worth the cost.

You are correct on the argument.
