Was this part of a survey where they get the "survey says" answers on Family Feud?

Is there money in writing crap "research" papers like this?

I would be fine doing this under a pseudonym. But I know UFO researchers really have to hustle a ton. So maybe not?

If this was me, and I used to just keep a notebook of the wines I liked, there's a couple ways to go about this.

Edit: in the Fdroid store theres an app named Cavity (terrible name) or Wine cellar that might be what you want for your own wine tracking.

Info on new wines is simply not going to come for free (or "free") bundled in an app unless you make it yourself. But wines you try is a much easier thing to track. If you can just accept they need to be 2 different things, it an easier task.

IMO, what you want is to create and self host a survey that let's you easily and quickly enter year, location, attributes, photo of the label, notes, etc. Depending on how granular you get with flavors and tasting attributes, you could get in a groove and log a wine with dizzy thumbs and low light in a minute or two. Then you just decide where that data lives, and how to get it back into a spreadsheet or SQL db to search it.

You could do most of this in a Google form/sheet, though you'll simply get nagged and tracked later in more subtle ways.

I'll be real honest, I suggest you ask ChatGPT on options, and suggest things like you want to build a survey in HTML (it'll do this for you) that lives on a device and is bookmarked for easy access, sends data to, let's say a Dropbox file you access with an API, and you use another HTML page you save locally to search.

For real, let us know how it goes, because I would all get some use from this.

What do they mean by "neighborhood"? The domain? Or the top level .LA?

Is your email something like [email protected]?

Seems harsh, but it's hard to unblock a subdomain while blocking the rest of a domain.

Aaaahhh, I totally missed that. The comma threw me off thinking it was a real number.

Is that for people in the parade? Or forced to watch it in person?

Formally, it's the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Mon Mothma is the Alliance's Chancellor, which is a sort of association of rebel cells spread across the galaxy. So she's sort of elected by the leadership of each rebel cell.

Then on the starship side, it basically seems like anyone with a ship gets promoted to general and promised back pay once the Republic is restored. It's sort of a gamble, but it beats smuggling spice and contraband.

It's toned down since 23andMe was new, but I absolutely know people that will regularly call themselves by whatever European group they think gives them character.

I always ask if they have an EU passport.

That's not what I'm saying.

First off, you, my fellow human, are a fallible creature that can make mistakes. Relying on airplane mode is a huge risk because if you oopsie once, you're done.

Second, your phone at home is a reasonable alibi. As long as you cover your face fully.

Third, your phone and face are gifts to LE. Do not go bearing gifts.

Using public WiFi is enough to ping a MAC on a snoop-able network device. Let's recall that no one should be connecting to free public WiFi without a VPN anyway. Plus, every LE agency can check connections from IPs of popular open WiFi spots near a route and see that your gmail or Snap or Twitter were accessed. Also, do you know and trust whoever owns that WiFi? So you need a burner, randomozed changed MAC, and a VPN on the phone just to use that public WiFi.

Open BT or AirDrop are also enough. The Chinese love using AirDrop.

Next, if you get arrested, everything on your phone can and will be used against you if they can get in. Did you take a selfie? Good work collecting evidence against yourself. Plus, that phone is gone for food even if you get released. Why do that to yourself?

As for contractors, that's how the military industrial complex works. Contractors do the morally grey area stuff and the government uses what's called third party doctrine to use those capabilities that might not necessarily come up in full during a FOIA request as it would if something was only government based.

Did the Isreali government develop Pegasus spyware? No, NSO Group did. How about which governemt develeoped facial recognition databases used be LE? No government did that. Clearview AI, Amazon at one point, Meta, and Google all did their own. Where does the government get all that data on what you do on your phone? From targeted advertising markets that anyone can access. The government doesn't make fighter jets, or tanks or guns or uniforms or paper or computers or surveillance equipment. Contractors do.

Then it automatically connects for emergency calls, and ya cooked.

No. Full stop. No.

No device that can or should connect to the internet. At all. SD card camera at most. Leave your phone at home, charging, playing an 8 hour YT playlist to your dog.

Don't want Clearview AI destroying your life 3 months from now? Cover your full face, arms, and legs. You can and WILL be identified easily from even a partial facial image. Hat, sunglasses, bandana. Guy Fawks mask. You do you, but you have to commit to it. Don't take anything off until you are sure you're concealed and not visible from any cameras.

You are trying to casually tempt the second most advanced surveillance state on earth. There is no room for error anymore.

You are not smarter than a well-resourced set of my military grade contractors that sell intel to law enforcement.

No networked devices. At all. This isn't hard! The entire Civil Rights Movement happened with zero mobile phones. You can do the same. Write important info in a notebook. SD card camera if you must.
