I prefer small trailers for this but if you don't have the space for a trailer, F150 it is.

You can probably fit a normal sized car and trailer in the space of an F150. Stupid argument. Or, you know, rent a trailer. It's utterly idiotic to carry around the weight and size of the F150 when you don't need the loading space. I hope American gas prices adjust to reality and people start considering efficiency, cause this mentality is not sustainable and hurts everyone on the planet.

You may be intetested in this, if you haven't seen it already.

The "small" screen is supposed to deter social media and video use.


I find that the Unihertz Titan 2 with its capacitive scrolling physical keyboard to be an even better reading/doomscrolling vessel than a long touch screen phone where the act of scrolling may accidentally open something.

The Clicks Communicator appears to be a bit smaller than the chonky Titan 2, but for those looking to end doom scrolling, this might not be the phone for you.

That said, using a rectangular phone does make the device unappealing for most video based platforms (which are all either in widescreen or tall landscape mode). It'll do in a pinch, but a square screen is pretty good at making Youtube/Tiktok/etc. less appealing.


It deters any kind of use outside texting.

Apps won't render properly on too small a screen (e.g. Google Maps). Good luck reading a website on a 4" square screen too


Reading websites should be no problem if pagination is used instead of scrolling.


Yea good luck restricting yourself to those


Pagination would be a feature of the browser of course, not of the websites.


You'll take my 2010 Sony Bravia panel over my dead body.


lol, 2010 LCD with edge or a couple zone local dimming... Don't worry, no one is going to try and take your varying degrees of grey levels from you.


I always thought that the only reason motorcycles have survived in the US was to artifically preserve the Harley Davidson brand.


In my country you see a lot of motorcycles as soon as the spring summer shows up. They all go back to the garage when the autumn rain starts.

They're not really practical.


I think this is a good change for Proton. I hope it leads them to change some of their misleading privacy marketing.


Can you elaborate? I’m a proton user who chose them based on their privacy claims.


I think he talking about e-mails to and from proton mail and other email providers are not really encrypted. Only mails between proton mail are encrypted.

That would be my guess.


Individual emails are only encrypted if the sender encrypts them, yes, and it's only enabled by default between protonmail users. However, the mailbox as a whole is encrypted at rest with some one-way method that doesn't allow proton to decrypt it: https://proton.me/blog/zero-access-encryption


> However, the mailbox as a whole is encrypted at rest

The server still receives from other servers and from the client (if the email is not going to a proton account) the plain text, so nothing prevents them from making a copy.


email is not Signal, and Proton cannot magically turn on encryption for every sender in the world.


how other providers (gmail) work in this case?..


In one instance they gave up the IP address of an email user to law enforcement (with a warrant I believe).


More on that here: https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest

They swiftly went on to win a court ruling that would prevent this specific situation from repeating. https://proton.me/blog/court-strengthens-email-privacy


They only have to comply with Swiss courts, but they're pretty up front about what they can and can't do, including suggesting Tor for anonymity, and the difference between Mail and VPN in Switzerland (VPN is no logs).


What was your prior car?


This is my favorite online graphing calculator. It's been around for a while. It got me through pre-calculus.


I use it for (some) quant finance work. It's not a toy, shockingly versatile.


I recall using desmos to render solutions to constraints in my physics classes in college. My favorite was plugging in the equation for the normal modes of a driven, oscilating square sheet and watching the vibration pattern pop right onscreen.


The closest thing we have these days is the Ford Maverick. It's a ute! They're not very available though.


Recently my wife and I searched for a drinking water filter that would remove PFAS. We found one!

Also see AquaGear https://www.drinkaquagear.com/ for a slightly cheaper option ($70 vs $90).


This looks good but the under sink system is a bit expensive. Does anyone know a good, affordable, easy to install under sink filter?


It removes flouride as well, for better or worse -- one of very few available filters which do. (Some think flouride is good and some think it's bad.)

I have it, and purely ergonomically, it's the best filter I've ever used. It's also quite expensive with expensive filters that need replacing frequently.


This isn't a some think it's good and some think it's bad kind of thing. Just like with climate change there's no legitimate other side.

Fluoride in your water supply is key to reducing tooth decay. Every medical association every scrap of evidence that we have says it's useful and important. It cuts tooth decay by 25% or so at all ages. You're doing yourself and your family a massive disservice by not adding it back in, never mind causing yourself a lot of pain and losing a lot of money in the long term.

I think it's ironic that people don't listen to doctors when they suggest simple proven methods that have a worldwide consensus behind them and unlimited evidence. But then are willing to let those same doctors drill into their skulls when they're in pain. Don't be that person :)


Nanohydroxypatite seems more effective than fluoride. But stannous fluoride looks like it has more overall benefits than sodium fluoride if you want to go to the fluoride route.

Some toothpaste have both, Dr jens for example which does have the 10% concentration shown most effective in clinical trials


How familiar are you with fluorides systemic effects on the endocrine system? As well as other systemic effects?


Seems like it needs to be replaced every 4-5 months which is longer than my Brita which needs to be replaced every 3 months


If you brush your teeth with toothpaste, it shouldn't matter.


That's simply untrue. Even with brushing with toothpaste is still eliminates an extra 25% of tooth decay. That's a lot of extra teeth!

It keeps fluoride in your saliva. Which toothpaste cannot do.


>It keeps fluoride in your saliva.

I know this is posed as a positive, but I have a feeling in 1000 years we are going to be laughed at like the Romans for putting lead in their wine.

Anyway, my dentist told me to leave the fluoride on my teeth for a few minutes. Wonder if that is more dangerous due to the concentration.


> It keeps fluoride in your saliva. Which toothpaste cannot do.

Which is why you're not supposed to rinse the toothpaste you used to brush your teeth.


Nice, now I need to find a whole house filter system
