The teachers at my school had a very smart idea of using super-glue to seal to ball cover to prevent students stealing and/or throwing the balls.

After about a week the every computer mouse was basically useless as it was impossible to clean the gunk off the rollers

I have recently bought 2 dirt cheap thinkpads, one for me and one for the wife.

T490s - i5 intel
T14s - Ryzen 5 AMD

Both are tick all your requirements except for the numbpad, the T14s is definitely worth the extra money, though. It can even handle some medium gaming.
Both have upgradeable nvme ssds. However the ram is soldered on the "s" versions of these laptops so find one with 16gb or more.

Playing as Oddjob is considered cheating in my house and is therefore banned.

Your L14 has one soldered ram module and one socketed module which is why you could upgrade it.

It's the "s" versions of the thinkpads that have non-upgradeable ram:

T490 - socketed ram, upgradeable
T490s - soldered ram, non-upgradeable
T14 - socketed ram, upgradeable
T14s - soldered ram, non-upgradeable
etc etc

Im not sure about the amd thinkpads as there are some models where the intel version has socketed ram whereas the amd version of the same laptop has fully soldered ram.
The s versions are slightly smaller and lighter

Seeding to peers
Putting streamers in fear

There is now a website doing exactly that:

https://icelist.info/

We're entering a new era, where streaming services are running out of new subscribers, so the only way to keep the money flowing is by providing truely innovative, high-value experiences that customers actively want to support financially.

I feel like I'm living in bizarro world when the above statement represents a business' last-resort effort for survival instead of it's primary focus.

Granny chargin', not triple phasing like you should.

we’re closer to artists that live a strange life that few people understand, seems weird from the outside

Wow! That's a great way to put it!

Now I understand why my neighbors look at me like I'm one of the guys performing this act:

TLDR version: Cloudflare want to be the reverse proxy for the entire fucking internet but don't want deal with the bullshit they should've seen a mile away.

Let 'em continue having to block their own IP addresses then maybe the wider internet will realize the need for more diversification in CDNs.

Yes, I know I'm posting in c/Piracy, but anarchy is fun too and I really want to see Cloudflare have it's wings clipped.

Activate the private space and move sandboxed google play and any non-foss apps there. You can use separate user profiles to do this, but in practical use, the private space works much more smoothly. The "private space" is a fairly recent addition to GrapheneOS which is why most advice recommends to use multiple user profiles, but take it from me, the private space is much easier to use.

Only use free, open-source apps in the main profile. Installing F-droid to handle your apps works well here.

Alternatively you can install Obtainium to manage your apps. Obtainium can install apps from f-droid or if you are adventurous you can use obtainium to install and update apps from their github repos - but this can be a lot of effort.

For gps navigation Install OsmAnd and familiarize yourself with it and learn how to get it setup to your liking. OsmAnd can be tough at first so get used to it's limitations. You MUST get in the habit of planning your route before you leave to minimize any problems or surprises.

Go to Signal's website and find the app download link there, determine the download URL of the .apk file and paste that address into Obtainium as a source address so Obtainium can handle the installation and updates of Signal... Even though it is open source, signal isn't on the f-droid repo so the only clean way of getting it is from their website. It can be installed from the play store but if you do that, it is possible for the feds to force google to push a compromised update to your phone in-particular.

Remove the sim card and leave it locked away in a drawer at home. There are plenty of places around town where free WiFi is available and very few people are too important to wait for you to return their message. Use a VPN (mullvad) with other peoples WiFi, though. In the Mullvad app's split tunnelling settings, select show system apps, scroll down to "Captive Portal Login" and exclude it from the VPN connection - without doing this you won't be able to hit the "I agree to the terms of use" prompt free WiFi connections present to users before allowing internet to connect.

Find a cheap VoIP/SIP provider. Install Linphone as your SIP client so you can make phone calls while out-and-about on free WiFi if the need ever presents itself.

That number is about right assuming you have disk encryption enabled as the CPU will keep a decent chunk of ram occupied to handle decryption.

That's been the general understanding but may not be true. Up until 2016, America has relied on the government respecting the conventional way a lot of things are done. But there have been the occasional deviation.

It was controversial when Ford pardoned Nixon for not specifying what he was being pardoned for.

Last year Biden pardoned his son to protect him from possible persecution by a future government, also controversial.

Who knows, maybe Trump will shit out a tweet tomorrow declaring these idiots are completely innocent of any crime. Any challenge to that would need to be heard by the Supreme Court. Would the current Supreme Court intervene, I doubt it.

Your simple, one sentence question had given me way too much to think about.

I love watching YouTube with Kodi as it shows no ads. I guess they don’t love that.

This scene from A Clockwork Orange is how I view Google's attitude of entitlement when it comes to exposing people to ads.

No sir, you don't have the freedom to decide what gets displayed on your screens and even if you don't block ads, you must not ignore them or put the volume on mute while they play.

Are those ads promoting scams? Are those ads delivering malware to your computer? Stiff shit buddy! You must view the ads.

Go to whatever service/exchange is easiest for you to buy a common crypto that has low fees (either Litecoin or Doge) and use https://changenow.io/ to swap to monero and send to your own wallet.

Use Guiwallet on desktop or for mobile you can use either cake wallet or monerujo wallet to hodl your monero.

Just transfer $20 into monero every couple of months and use it to buy time on mullvad as you need

Con Air

It is absolutely not well written but I just love how the film and all the actors are completely aware of how dumb the entire thing is.

Oh, and casting Chief Engineer Miles O'Brien as the jerk that everyone hates is the icing on this guilty-pleasure cake.

Don't give bail-outs to billionaires.
