Very entertaining sci-fi. I tore through it a a couple of days.
I was so focused on deliverability with Mailchimp that I didn’t realize (until I just checked) that I’ve been paying for 2,000 unsubscribers. I had assumed I wasn’t. Deleting them would have moved me down a tier. Strongly considering MailerLite now.
Although it gets awkward when someone wants to hold the paper for me while I sign. I have to gently tug it away from them so I can turn it.
If anyone wants to actually work towards solving the issue they should probably go there and try to invest in ways to clean up the practice. Better tools, better profitability. Education. Etc.
You think the problem that needs to be solved is “there”? This sentence makes me question whose consumption you’re referring to in the previous sentence.
I think we expect better of democracies, which is why these kinds of attacks shock us. But it is interesting that we are unsurprised when Lebanon/Hezbollah uses terror tactics but it quickly becomes a news event when Israel responds in kind.
Ironic because drone bombings like we did in Afghanistan would probably have a much more terrible collateral damage effect but be less newsworthy. But somehow boobytrapping radios and pagers pricks our conscience. Maybe because it feels more personal, intimate, and therefore retributive?
It takes some conditioning, you most likely won't last 5+ minutes the first time.
