I have a small, dwindling, jealously-guarded supply of Samsungs I bought through some random on endless sphere.
Everything else I've bought has been garbage, moving to LiFePO4 for non-weight-sensitive uses.
If you do find a current, good source, let us know, please! #diy
Collusive networks based on mutual blackmail appears to be a very effective form of government.
We need to build a better model, and destabilise the present one.
If it didn't draw the ladies, men wouldn't do it.
Nearly everything irrational men do is a gambit to get laid, or a hedge against death.

The coating varies, but there's only one flavour...
Probably hit a rate limit! :-p
Goodness! Look after yourself...
I well remember reading about an Australian doctor who developed a new way to store blood products. Getting the permits to start such a business in Australia was far too expensive, so he moved to China to commercialise it. After a couple of years it was a huge business, so a PLAF colonel had the doctor thrown into a "black site" prison on fake charges and forced him to sign over the business.
Australia's government did nothing, except threaten the doctor's family that talking to the press about it would mean the doctor could never return home.
After two years they went public. Australia's government still did nothing.
I've never needed consular assistance overseas, but I did once need to visit an Australian Embassy to apply for citizenship-by-descent for my son. Even with an appointment, it took days.
USA is much, much better than that for its citizens abroad.
After persistent complaints that the event's "Private Murder Rate" format unduly favoured American cultures, the IOC will be introducing a new event for the 2024 games!
Provisionally entitled "Public Murder Rate", the new event is expected to attract teams from Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine and Sudan to do the Old World proud! Their dogmatic, industrialised playstyle is expected to more than make up for the absence of telenovelas.
Team USA is expected to qualify for both events, but has only an outside chance at a medal.
Imagine its the Olympics!
The Americas are just crushing it, only South Africa even qualified from Rest-Of-World. Then Mexico takes a clean sweep of medals even among its peers!
Some memes are truly timeless...
Step #1: learn some Spanish
Step #2: dress down
Step #3: ????

Use Tor, ppl! And secure operating systems.
Australia, but with turkeys
And no issues around forced speech here!
Australia CAN force you to keep your canary up.
Canaries are just a USA thing, no other Western country has a Bill of Rights worth a damn.
That's the first "wall of shame" I've seen where Australia didn't even make the top 20! #36 if I'm reading correctly.
We are not keeping up with our fellow deindustrialisers!
When do you sleep??? :-p
Consular access if arrested in a foreign country, I guess. A US embassy will try to make sure you have access to a lawyer and medical treatment, they're actually useful that way.
(Unlike, for example, Australia).
Of course, the downside is nonresident taxation. Like Eritrea and North Korea, the USA will keep taxing you even if you leave the country if you keep your US citizenship. And if you want to give up your US citizenship, there are exit taxes!
