This site walks you through how to take a DNA test anonymously. That’s as close as I’m aware of that you can get to privacy.

For those who were also curious about a source for the claim that “Texas is 50th in the US for quality of life”: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/13/10-states-worst-quality-of-life-america.html

Freeze your credit:

• Experian: https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html
• TransUnion: https://www.transunion.com/credit-freeze

There’s an update to the news article that gives more info on the motive: https://www.theroot.com/watch-white-father-pulls-a-karen-with-black-superinten-1851522863

The father and superintendent apparently had previous problems and the father planned to interfere in the graduation ceremony. I’m still not convinced it wasn’t racially motivated, but regardless the man needs help.

It’s not easy, but it can be done anonymously.

https://www.dnasquirrel.com/ provides some guidance on how to get DNA results while maintaining privacy. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’d like to hear if anyone has.

I have T-Mobile too. Would you mind explaining the process of adding an external antenna? I’d like to get 250 Mbps stable.

I stopped shopping at Cub specifically because the self-checkout registers were just like the ones described above. The cashier lanes weren’t any better because I still had to do all the work except scanning anyway.

Cub is the most convenient location for me by about 5 miles, but I refuse to go there because the service is so very bad.

What makes you say it’s abandoned? The last release was about a month ago.

EVs work fine in cold weather. I live in Minnesota and drive an EV. It loses about 10-20% of the total range in the winter, but most of that appears to be from generating heat for the passengers.

I’m also a late Gen X. Please, please, PLEASE don’t group us with Boomers. We’re nothing like them and proud of it.

They are a very influential, very conservative American think tank. They advocate for things like anti-communism, neoconservativism, the Christian right, smaller government, bigger military, traditional family values, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, white supremecist ideas, voting restrictions - generally all the most destructive policies of the last 50 years.

Given that the source of this opinion piece is The Heritage Foundation I'm skeptical.
