I'm not sure what the very first one was, but I think the one I used most as a kid was this one or something similar (family computer):

I don't remember my first laptop but I got it in 2010ish around the end of school.

My first cell phone was from Cingulair in 2004 or 2005? A black flip phone. No idea of anything else about it, except that I ran up the texting bill and it had an internet button right on the keypad which I was constantly hitting on accident. That's probably how I developed anxiety now that I think about it.

My first smartphone was a Nokia Windows phone. Looks like Lumia is what it was called...maybe the 520? Also black. I got that around 10 years ago. I didn't even want it and I've always regretted it because that was when I really started getting attached to my phone. All these apps and stuff...yuck

Yes. Adding to the other comment, if you don't have good credit you can also lose out on certain job opportunities.

Edit: here is California's restrictions on employer access. Note that other states have fewer restrictions.

I turned it off a long time ago when it started replacing entire sentences. So annoying!!

I still have the suggestions on but I might turn that off too because it keeps suggesting words in other languages even though I'm on the English keyboard and don't know much in any other language (and the only other keyboard I have is the Spanish one).

Also the dictionary doesn't have a shit ton of common words in it for some reason, so if I can't think of the proper spelling I have to look it up anyway. Which is also annoying because search engines suck and I never have a hard copy handy.

Yes, yet people get away with this all the time. Even if the killer gets caught, loyalty can be enough to keep them quiet.

Think about all the people that Putin has "probably" had killed. And the assassinations by the CIA and other intelligence agencies throughout the world.

Here are the notable hitmen that we know about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_contract_killers_and_hitmen

We've been lucky with ours as well. We unfortunately have some sort of infestation in our house but at least they don't sting us.

Yes, a legal representative can do it. I'm not sure if just a notary would suffice though, at least not where I am.

Thumbprints are another possible way. Also simple marks like an X.

Banks will sometimes require your signature match the original signature they have on file. I'm guessing it's not as common anymore with online banking but I know a few years ago I had to sign something a number of times because it wasn't close enough to the original.

I thought about it and it might have been around 10 years ago😬

Tbh it doesn't even have to be boeing who did it. Boeing is important to the government (actually multiple governments) and it's not exactly a stretch to consider said governments are involved.

Also if we go with thinking boeing did do it, look at almost any organized crime related murder.

Or some combination of the two.

People have been killed for far, far less. And there are a lot of people who will hurt other people purely for revenge, regardless of any other factor.

The point is, I don't think it's as much of a stretch as you seem to think.

You ask it

That's good

I would see your PCP. It's not unusual to bruise after moving a bunch of stuff, however if you didn't notice any bumps while moving the furniture, it may be that you are anemic or something. If you menstruate or have nosebleeds the bleeding can make it worse. IME you don't necessarily need to take a supplement at this point (usually iron) but your doc will probably want to at least monitor in case it worsens over time.

If you can't afford to go to a doctor, and you're open to it, try to donate blood and they should tell you your iron scores. It's better to see your doc of course (there may be other things to test) but I know how it is without money, at least in the US.

😬 i did this, but with my brand new telescope

Don't give them any ideas. Please.

Agreed

I've seen arrest (booking) records going back 20 years or more online - on the police department's own website. Mostly in Florida because their laws are way more lax than other states.

Damn. You just reminded me of the comments I received on my first paper. They said it was the most uninteresting work they had ever seen and added nothing to the last 4 decades of research on the subject.

I still cringe when I remember it 😭😭

Also when I go to move the vent, "you can turn the fan down if you'd like" - said while turning the fan down. And now I'm too hot...

It depends. If you want a security clearance you're probably fucked. But then I guess if you're protesting a war you probably don't care to have the type of job that requires a security clearance.

Also since a lot of arrest records are easily found online, for free, with no login (some states more than others), employers are bound to find it even if it's unethical (or illegal) to search that way.

A child advocacy center has specially trained staff (therapists) who do forensic interviews and provide therapy, mainly to kids enduring the aftermath of abuse and neglect. They work closely with the police and the prosecutor to get the case resolved and many also provide therapy dogs to go to court with the kids.

I haven't heard of them interviewing a kid suspected of a crime but perhaps it is their protocol for a kid this young.

A small subset of people seem to be really good at driving companies into the ground. It's like a special skill

Not diminishing how shitty this is

But where does it say NASA is blocked?
