    A government will still subpoena the destination IP for the information if they want it.

    ECH protects against warrantless monitoring and other non-government bad actors and I'm happy to see it implemented. If there hasn't been a strong enough privacy argument to use Firefox for someone to date, this is a big one.

    [Serious] The revolution was successful! The old government is gone. You get to help write the new Constitution. What do you put into it?

    How come we experience so much more inflation than deflation? in other words, why does our buying power decrease far more often than it increases?

    Tldr our economy is designed this way. The federal bank sets monetary policy to maintain inflation.

    I just took an econ-102 course intro to macroeconomics that covers this. It was free at my community college. I recommend doing it!

    Voice typing is a game changer if you break a hand. I did a semester of college writing several essays a week with 99% voice typing.

    Very popular opinion. What a huge waste of time. Most expensive B movie ever, and doesn't have the camp value to pull off how bad the script is.

    I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

    Unless lactose intolerance is a factor. Then just meat. A lot of jerky.
