How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

dan1101,

The average salesman will act like they know but they don’t. About the only choice for a private vehicle is going to be an older vehicle. New ones are getting less private and larger and more expensive. Go with an older but we’ll cared for Honda or Toyota.

Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It (www.wired.com)

For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

Or what they look like from lifestyle and health factors.

Boy that is just a garbage sandwich, garbage in garbage out with twice as much garbage.

dan1101,

That has to violate the spirit of the law at the very least.

From what I’ve seen of him he is very intelligent, I generally agree with his views, he doesn’t seem to have have anger, greed, or vanity issues. I’m not sure his temperament would produce good Commander in Chief decisions but overall he seems like a great candidate.

dan1101,

I’ve only seen a few minutes of him on TV. I can’t think of many politicians whose positions I like and who wouldn’t bow to corporations.

dan1101,

I just microwaved some popcorn and yeah I used the hold the button trick.

I don’t like that model M because it has Windows keys.

Yes, can a free Democratic institution eventually consider evolutionary humanism as a prerequisite to the insipidness that prevails today?

Made a salad and stuff, served it to a table of people and mentioned that he made it while showering.

I was looking at someone’s photos on an iPhone and we both discovered you could cut parts of the image out with a long press and drag (IIRC.)

dan1101,

Be right back going to visit them all.

dan1101,

That’s right, TLC says not to and they’ve never steered me wrong.

dan1101,

The Downward Spiral is a great album.

dan1101,

Yeah I wanna see the view from the top.

dan1101,

I remember her and her daughter, terrible people and more drama in an overly dramatic show.

dan1101,

More palatable. They wouldn’t make much fertilizer though.

dan1101,

Same, I’d rather be hot than cold but at the extremes at least you can layer up when it’s cold.

dan1101,

Why are you throwing away water?? I’ll take it.

dan1101,

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Goonies, Gremlins, the new Avatar, most Star Trek movies, any movie like La La Land, Finding Nemo, Frozen, a lot more.

dan1101,

Go to the register with these, a box of wine, and a 12 pack of condoms.

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

I have Hulu/Disney bundle, Netflix, and Prime. I canceled Prime after the commercials announcement but I still have a few months remaining. I will miss it but I won’t tolerate commercials in a service I’m paying for.

Next to go will be Netflix after their latest price increase, I will subscribe for a month when I want to watch something on there badly enough.

I just canceled Sirius XM as well, I liked it but need to cut some costs. I figured they would offer me some free months but haven’t yet. They did offer $5 per month which should be $60 but is more like $75 after all the taxes and fees. Tired of playing that game so I refused this time.

And I have adblocked YouTube on my TV, phone, and PC.
