The are all great, but tawdry is fantastic!

Rolls of the tongue, and we all come across several tawdry things/people in a given day.

If I'm not mistaken, residents can vote in local elections in many places.

I hate that "feature" so much. For a while it has used the speed of other's phones for your ETA. As in, if everyone is doing 10-15 over the speed limit, you're expected to go with the flow.
I don't want a more accurate ETA. I want to arrive when it says I will if I follow all speed limits, and shave off a couple minutes if I am going faster than that.

Very tough situation, wish I had something helpful to share, but any chance you can nudge them towards well sourced, largely promoting critical thinking, but also entertaining videos?

Likely some form of secure/encrypted phone. There are special versions of phones made, not available to the general public.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Frank Wilhoit

Well, the top 25 wealth hoarding dragons paid 13.6 billion in federal income taxes in a span of 5 years. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax
So you were likely only very mildly exaggerating that claim.
And before some ~~class traitor~~boot-licker squeaks up about * the article looks at wealth which isn't taxed, only income is taxed.* 1 that wasn't the point & 2 you don't need income when you have that kind of assets. But they built their wealth by massively benefiting from the society they pay so very little back to.

Adulting is hard 😑 didn't exactly help I emigrated to my spouse's home country, we had our child, I (finally) got my career properly going, and we bought a house, all in a span of two years. But, even without all that, adulting would be a lot. Up until I started actually feeling like an adult, I wanna say somewhere in my 30s, it usually seemed like adults had their shit together. Either life used to be somewhat easier, or part of adulting is getting really good at pretending you have your shit together...

Just two 15A breakers is enough actually. Outlets are supposed to be able to sustain 80% power, so you should be able to pull 1.44kW from a singly puny Nema 5-15.

I have always like GPS essentials for various other location tasks. While I have never used it, there's a track mode under streams. Data can be exported in a handful of formats.

Even though I'm sure that's what a Honeypot from RIAA/MPAA would say, then that's awfully nice of you.
I'm fairly sure I have invites to one or both of tleech & tday. Will check later.
