Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade website no-crawl directives Perplexity is repeatedly modifying their user agent and changing IPs and ASNs to hide their crawling activity, in direct conflict with explicit no-crawl preferences expressed by websites.

I've been moving all my domain DNS records over to CloudFlare in part because they actually do a decent job at blocking AI Trash. More reason why you should to

On this sort of same note, this is why even though one of my credit cards supports Google pay. It requires I have their app on my phone to add. There app wants every single permission possible, GPS location, Contacts, Media storage...ect So now I almost never use that CC, their loss.

Welp, if you ever want to be in her Will & perhaps own the place you're renting. Time to put on a smile, say ok and promptly move elsewhere. ๐Ÿ™ƒ All of that sucks but hey, your welcome to join in on the dead boomer party I plan to throw in the future ๐Ÿ˜…

So basically, over that 30 years, you pay for that 600k house almost twice over before you own it.

#Economics

Lets say you buy a $600,000 house, which won't buy much if anything in places like the grater Seattle area. You get a 30 year Mortgage @ 6.81% Interest & put 100,000 down.

Over 30 years without refinancing.

You would pay: $674,664 in Interest alone. A grand total of $1,174,664 ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Nice thing about having only used a VOIP number for the last ~16 years I don't have to ever think about my carrier number. + I'm in full control of filtering.

I switched away from Mint this week to another carrier, same backbone. But way more data & $5 less a month.

Oil changed in the car, something I don't my doing. Mostly because I know it gets done right, and is 1/3 the cost.

Now has me thinking of commissioning my snowfox getting oily ๐Ÿ˜›

Passkeys are normally pretty universal, I know android Pixel phones support it. So do password managers like Bitwarden. Weird you'd have to use a specific app for a passkey.

Reason #929,347 I want to retire early. In a meeting talking about coming up for a big goal for our internal, not customer facing IT team for the talking heads to hear. Director is telling us it should be AI related..... ๐Ÿ™„

Yup, Costco does other things in other Countries. Otherwise the Seattle and Lynwood locations sometimes have their US based experimental menu items like the Kirkland Signature cheese burger

That's why every time I visit In-N-Out, I bring my own dipping sauce.... It makes the fries far more tolerable ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿ˜…Hear me out...

It allows one to add the ideal amount of hot sauce/guac ratio mixed with a perfect amount of burrito fillings in each bite. By the end, the remaining tortilla has had time to marinate in the juices adding to the ending experience...
