Why are they not scientists? Sure their profession was in special effects, but you don’t need a degree or a lab to carry out scientific research.

No you don’t need a license to be a journalist.

My thought was more about the scale of the project. For a journalists, just fact checking someone online doesn’t make you a journalists. If you went out to fact check something at the source, compiled a bunch of evidence and presented it publicly, then you’d call your self a journalist.

Back to the electrician (ignoring license requirements), swapping out a light switch isn’t much, but if you learned how to rewired a whole house, install panels, ceilings fans, etc - you’d call you self an electrition.

And you’re right, the electrician is kind of a bad comparison.

News isn’t a primary source. In most cases its a secondary source. They ask the primary “what happened” or get a press release from wherever and report on that.

They can be a primary source if they are live on location recording something as it happens. In that case, only the video (or written account) and individuals are primary sources, the second it goes through the studio’s writers it becomes a secondary source.

Journalist is defined as anyone who writes for public news media. If op writes an article an publicly posts it, they are a blogger. If they post it anywhere that can be considered a news site (IMO, if their a own site is a news site, it counts), they are a journalist.

A good journalists is one who takes in many primary sources, maybe fills the gaps with some other secondaries and informs the public with the most informed information they have. Unfortunately corporate news has become an echo chamber of secondary sources with no one independently looking at primary sources. If it ain’t cited don’t trust it.

If the OP of the shower thought, basically fact checks someone else, then they are doing the work of a journalist. However simply doing a bit of work does not earn you the title, just like replacing a light switch at your house does not make you an electrician (even if you do it better then some of the “professionals”)

I agree, hence specifying the ones who care.

Way too many do not care and wonder why no one is “loyal”.

My company’s owner/CEO can stay, gives us all sizeable profit share bonuses. During covid people didn’t get layed off, even though there was no work. Sure hours were reduced, but work was found around the shop to keep people busy as much as possible.

In other words, small business owners that care about employee and their clients.

For me the downside is the precedent it sets. Yes, most of us agree getting rid of TikTok is a good thing, but how long until they start banning other sites “for the children”? How long until they target federated sites they can’t control “for the children”?

To top it off, it doesn’t solve the data harvesting problem their so scared of with TikTok. They only care about that one because the data is going to China. Instagram and others can stay because they are American companies spying on citizens.

The real question is can you source ink for it?

Preferably 3rd party, but a quick look shows HP ink on sale for $20 at Walmart.

As for the printer itself, never connect it to the internet. If your router has the right features, you should be able to get it on the network without giving it internet. You shouldnt need to update unless whatever version it’s on happened to be broken.

Woke up in a horse drawn cart headed to some kind of military cult execution. Ended up escaping due to an unscheduled train.

Thanks I never knew it was that simple to make a personal backup?

Excuse me for asking more questions, but how do access my files, I don’t have a USB port installed. Also how large of drive do I need. And for recovery, if all I have are the external disks, but the original host is dead - how do I get a new host for the files?

I don’t have a backup, tell me where does one go for a backup procedure? Is it painful, securely stored, climate controlled, I have so many questions!!!

I agree with the girl. If you’re willing to steal from a McDonalds, what else are you scheming and how long until those scheme involve me? Theft is theft and I’d want nothing to do with it.

Edit. I don’t care about McDonalds, I care about the lads moral compass and how he is willing to show off his “trick” to a first date and just drag her into a scheme. At least wait a while to say “what if we made 3 accounts and just got 3 orders of the $1 nugget deal?”

If the date is cool with it, great f* big corp. If not, you know she’s got morals that don’t perfectly align with yours - which is okay, as long you respect that and figure it out.

I’ll stand by my statement “theft is theft”, but I myself also won’t deny having some morally gray online activities. However, I wouldn’t want to have a first movie date through a movies123 clone. First impressions are key.

If you shop blackfriday for Xmas and such;

Check out the extension camelcamelcamel https://camelcamelcamel.com/

It tracks prices on Amazon (or if you don’t want extension, you can paste the link on their site). The extensions makes easy to check as your shopping.

This let’s you check if 50% off is really a sale or “we tripled the price last month and are fucking you over”

You can also setup price watches, and get email when something’s price drops below whatever you set.

(Someone else mentioned Keepa that does the same thing, I’ve never heard of it, but a quick look shows it has a subscription for some stuff, no thanks)

They said replaced, not gotten rid of.

Just be prepared for the yelling when she finds out and crys about it.

Dump some into a nontransparent water bottle; you get your soda, your ex doesn’t have to see it and be “tempted” by it.
