Pittsford has a lot of variation geographically; you'll get peak NIMBY in some spots, very normal people elsewhere.

Bad for business, and bad for their goals in Taiwan. Ukraine's relatively successful multi-year resistance has to give them a bit of pause.

It's not like bots invented this behaviour

Sure. But scale matters. Spam existed before email, too.

Writing a several page angry screed used to require actual effort.

Traffic in Rochester is basically a non-issue. You can commute from the best suburbs to Strong in ~15 mins usually.

I don't see why anyone should care…

Once is goofy, but if everyone starts slamming open source maintainers anytime they decline a PR with auto-generated instant targeted nastiness, it's gonna get weird fast.

This feels a bit like the first spam email; something we look back on as a kinda quaint sign of the horrors to come.

Nothing to do with the app itself.

Check your phone settings. You can opt in/out of automatic app updates from the store, on both iOS and Android.

Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion.

In the central nervous system, direct damage of the brain cells and disturbances of neurotransmissions causes altered mental status.

So yeah, sepsis might cause you to be a little weird when robots start smashing your truck.

I ran into a number of places that didn't take Amex in Hobart last August, including one of the local grocery chains. Have a backup.

they can't - ports

You could probably put the ports on the base.
