Yes, and agreed. I have looked for plugins that block them at every turn.

And they're about to let Bill Gates and his new company start screwing around and make "cloudtrails" to block sunlight....

US "abandoned" a drive to fund thorium reactors with tax dollars and regulatory approvals because of public sentiment on nuclear anything. We could have probably figured this out. The snags like extreme corrosion were probably solvable with tech we had years ago.

according to the article, they excluded those numbers because they didn't want to split the jackpots and I guess the math somehow made sense.

no they entered arrangements with authorized lotto ticket sellers to use their machines in accordance with the lotto guidelines. literal 24/7 arrangements where they stayed open/operating their printers. Like, "Here's $5K... stock up on your lotto paper for your machines..."

I was trying to find an article on Florida banning this practice, but couldn't. I remember some state(s) supposedly passed a law to make this practice illegal.

Maybe it didn't hold up, and that's why Florida added a bunch of numbers around 10(?) years ago to make it infeasible.

Get fucked.

But no, macOS in recent versions is a disaster, too. When they iOS-ified System Settings, it became way harder to find anything. Every version of macOS prior to Ventura was easy to use.

The same way authors claim a royalty on anything inspired by their works when readers find their books in a library.

But did that remind anyone else of the 11001001 TNG episode where the Bynars talked like that?

"From the NSA-is-furious department"

Is there a chance in hell of a phone connecting through a metal car top? A single-story roof? Or are these things going to be strictly marketed for outdoor / emergency use?

Oh, yeah. I forgot why I had to do it in the first place.

Fair point. There's simply no money in allowing the convergence or merging of accounts. I wonder who got bored and did it in their "spare" time. I can't imagine there was enough pressure from users after all this time to finally do something.
