If cookies were actually necessary for the operation of a site I was responsible for, I’d include a phone number that any visitor could call to receive an actual cookie. And then every weekend I would bake some cookies and send them to the visitors crazy enough to call me and invoke the cookie clause.

You can detect them with older mobile hotspots with a chip capable of promiscuous mode. Right now mine’s just a canary, a heads up that someone is operating an IMSI catcher nearby, but if ICE is active in your neighborhood having something like that but with more range could be useful for community early warning networks.

Hey, that’s awesome. I hope one day all the energy and brain power currently funneled into surveillance/marketing/control will be applied to problems like this. It’s the kind of common-good problem most engineers would prefer to work on anyway.

Case studies of children who somehow survived isolated from language have repeatedly corroborated the result. Language, meaning any modality of interpersonal communication that requires formation of semantic constructs in the brain, is fundamental to cognitive development.

And by fundamental we mean it very nearly is cognitive development. Depriving any child of it deliberately is a tremendous cruelty, based on what we know so far.

lol same (2000s) and over time I’ve heard many variations. Some kids were given “Vernors” which at least had some actual ginger. The rest were at best sugar bribes to hydrate.

Pro tip: many that ship with an SD inside will have the factory firmware and device-specific keys still recoverable on the card (secure erase is too slow for production I guess) so before turning the device on for the first time, remove the card and image it for maximum chance of recovering the FW intact.

And it grants them a longer, healthier, and much happier life. If you can’t provide them mates to bonk and aren’t willing to help them raise their kids, the only ethical choices are to either (A) release them and hope they survive or (B) spay/neuter, because subjecting them to lifelong pon farr would be shitty.
