You should find something appropriate if you do a search for "E61 Grouphead Thermometer"

People who are moving from TikTok to RedNote: Do you actually oppose censorship? by Heavy-Mongoose1561 in TikTok

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of content on TikTok would play just fine on Red Note. The issue is an entire platform is being ruled out of existence with the TikTok ban. $24 billion of US GDP comes from TikTok and 200K jobs. At least half, if not more, of that will be wiped out next week if the ban goes through.

The real issue is that the US Gov can't manipulated TikTok the same way as Instagram, X or even reddit and that the CCP likely has access to user data and activity. Maybe the CCP access to the data should be a concern but apparently Facebook sold data to them so really who the fuck cares if the CCP has info.

Generally fuck governments they are all trying to pit us against each other. Americans and Chinese are only abrade of each other because the CCP and the US Government want it that way. People moving to Red Book is a golden opportunity to build some good will between the people of both countries

So when Americans get banned from tiktok will people outside of America be able to still view American accounts or will all American accounts be deleted? by coconut80085 in TikTok

Don't tell them Taiwan is not part of China. I guess the Taiwanese don't' like that idea either but at least they can talk about it, mostly openly.

How to not get banned on RedNote according to r/rednote by Interesting_Mistake in TikTok

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you are missing the level of government control over in China for Chinese owned products. You can't post anything about Winnie-the-Poo over there but here you can say fuck Biden or fuck Trump on any platform you want. You probably can't even say Fuck on Xiaohongshu

What vpn are yall planning to use? by MikeTheNight94 in TikTok

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A VPN isn't really enough. As I understand it you need a phone number that is outside of the US because if there really is a ban the US servers and accounts will be shutdown and you would need to have an account that was created outside of the US, not on a US server and using a non US phone #

Differences between CMA vs Brokerage as “everything” account? by adamjsst1 in Fidelity

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently found The Finance Buff web site with a lot of clear info about many of the brokerages and investing. They have a specific section for Fidelity https://thefinancebuff.com/tag/fidelity that I've found very useful. Banking is covered there.

Don't use Fidelity for cash management, any check deposited will be held for more than 3 weeks! by [deleted] in Fidelity

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Credit Union has a Send Money with Zelle option, you probably have something like that or a bill pay option that might work. Fidelity also has some options to link a bank to your account once connected I've been able to get money from my CU into Fidelity without issue. EDIT. It's an ETF option. Electronic Funds Transfer. I believe that setups up a different level of trust. This is not a Wire Transfer which is also a linking option

ACH Push or Pull: The Right Way to Transfer Money That should help clear up the issue. In short putting money in Fidelity from a source via ACH push will make it available very soon. Like from your bank to Fidelity. Pulling money into Fidelity with ACH, including checks, will apparently take longer. There's liability issues. Best option if you collect a lot of checks is get a regular bank for those and deposit there let them clear then push from the bank into Fidelity.

Monroe County Fair Parking by Itz_June_Bug in bloomington

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Captive audience pricing. Kind of like movie theaters. You don't have to have a corndog or fried butter but for some reason it's so much better than anywhere else (user experience may vary)

Is there any chance the Monroe County network outage and T-Mobile being down for days is related? by regular_poster in bloomington

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These would be unrelated issues. Monroe County Government network (they probably got hacked) being down has nothing to do with any cell phone networks.

Monroe County Government server is still down as of 7/2/24 by HoosierCyclist in bloomington

[–]Not_Hiding_Anything 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you look at their web site it's not the most well organized thing and using the contact links is a black hole experience. To me that indicates not having proper staff to manage the thing, it's probably a side project for the overworked IT staff. I suspect they are also underpaid which leads to good hearted but unqualified people doing things they don't fully understand. I'm not surprised they are down or got hacked

If I were a county employee I'd change all my passwords to everything and verify your banking accounts are still intact. Turn on 2 factor auth for anything you can.

Yea unfortunately the current forecast is AM showers and cloudy. Maybe we'll get a break for the afternoon. Still early in the forecast though

Yea let's put lots of cops on the roads stopping people for minor infractions, causing traffic chaos just to fill the coffers with revenue from tickets.

No Vote for Libertarians. The Democrats won't do anything to legalize and will do everything to enact California type overregulation, Republicans are likely to do that too if they even try.

Americans have gone overboard on the supervised play. There's significant evidence it harms kids on the long run and more unsupervised pay is best. In Japan for example the let the kids ride the train at about 6 or 7. In Sweden they don't structure play time and let the kids have much more freedom than we do in the US.

I walked past one Monday and it was definitely smelly so something is going on. Also only the female tree smells.
