Haha I've only got a test set when I was making gin, since the raw alcohol has above 70° abv after distilling, so I needed to dilute it down with water to about 38-42° drinking strength, so had to be fairly accurate. Now I'm using the kit habitually for any brew.

Why would you lose anything? You can pour it straight from the test tube down your throat... And it really only takes like 50ml to begin with.

I thought you have to be able to read the full summons to be legally considered as received. Not too familiar with US law though.

Where I'm from there's a way of a public delivery if someone absconded, by posting it on the black board of the local city hall of someone's current registered address for 4 weeks or something.

If they failed to change the registered address they'd also be committing a federal crime, so if they were to contest the lawful delivery, they'd admit another offense, landing them in jail where they could then be successfully served. So that would at best reset the timer at the expense of a felony.

If you happen to be a student or know someone who is, register an account with studentbeans.com and get a 50% discount independent of any special sales days.

Edit: It's even 62% for the full proton suite, 50% was only for the VPN (which I got).

Who are you, and why should anybody care?

Clickbait trash. He's been avoiding getting served for a few weeks, and soon the court will allow to serve his mom instead, and nothing has been achieved. Hooray.

Excellent, thanks a lot for the writeup, much appreciated!

Would that all still fit into the SIM slot, or will the card dangle outside? Sounds interesting for sure, I'll have a look.

Currently I'm using an external SSD that I can plug into the USB-C port, but it's a bit bulky even with a small form factor.

Right, that's true. My main concern is that I need to work with 3 SIM cards regularly (German, Chinese, Malaysian) and already have to either hot swap or use a spare phone, so I'd really want to see a phone that offers a standalone SD slot without compromising at least dual SIM.

I've just got myself one of the aftermarket eSIM add-on cards from 5ber.com which seems to be working fine, but both my Malaysian and Chinese ISP don't offer the functionality at all just yet. Ideally I'd want to have all 3 profiles on one, then the dual SIM wouldn't be as needed as it is now.

Dual SIM plus MicroSD? Or either/or?

I've used older Xperia phones, not new ones. But a list price of 1400 bucks is by default overpriced. Samsungs are so full of bloat and proprietary shit, I wouldn't touch them, ever. Plus their bootloader can't be unlocked, which is heavily restricting my use cases.

Wouldn't ever touch Apple devices either, and while Pixel phones are great, the price points of the new 9 Pro at around 900 bucks is high, but barely in acceptable range for me. Don't have one (still happy with my OnePlus 10 Pro, that was about 650 bucks I think), but that's the only high end brand you mentioned that I would consider if I were to upgrade at this point.

There are adapters with charger throughput. Or else a car phone holder with wireless charging capability that's connected to the cigarette lighter port will do the trick.
