I don’t know how any of this works so this is going to sound stupid and it probably is, but anecdotally the shrubs and trees in my garden just simply failed to grow this year. They put out the leaves from the over winter buds and then just sat there doing nothing until early September a half-hearted start at some new growth before it got cold again. Very slow year all around in spite of the weather not seeming super different. Probably not the same thing, but in my mind this demonstrates how a nice green landscape might look ok but just not be doing it’s job for inscrutable reasons.

This may not be the best advice, but it is what I did for a project that was required to have these statements. There are online templates and services that will create and host your terms and data privacy policy for free, with upgrades of you want more customized wording. The format is clunky and in my case allowed for more data collection than the app would ever actually do because I did not pay to customize it, but it serves the purpose. Termsfeed.com privacypolicygenerator.com You could just generate one to see the general idea and then customize it yourself if you don’t need the hosting.

I think that can be it for some but there is another type where you are able to jump through all the hoops and you enjoy jumping hoops and then suddenly people stop holding up hoops in front of you and you realize you never learned how to make hoops for yourself. Something like that.

I like and fear your answer, but having recently watched a ridiculous number of police homicide interrogations, it seems to me that if you are smart enough to get away with murder you are probably smart enough to avoid it in the first place. A lot of murders are solved with cameras and phone records. Even many sociopaths who you might expect to do better.

Used to be considered simply prudent to back up the vhs tapes you bought and people were encouraged to tape their favorite shows off the tv. Now some random CEO of the month has the right to bury decades worth of creative works?

I feel like with so many cameras they will still find you and it will be more suspicious, but I guess it depends if they can tie you to the victim in some other way.

I think because I used a mailing address? I changed it to my residence and it seems all right. Just weird it wasn’t a problem for years even up to March or whatever for the primary. I wasn’t notified or given a reason.

Double check that you are registered. I found out last week that I had been kicked off the list after receiving ballots for years without a problem.

There’s more than one way to save the earth :)

What’s new to me in this data is that the increase in cropland for humans for a vegan diet is still less that what we currently feed to animals in spite of the enormous amount of pasture they also require.
