Opsec works both ways. They shouldn’t be publicizing this so that they can keep bombing Russians that are dumb enough to give away their positions.

You’re not wrong. But my guess is that “autism predates Tylenol” is probably gonna convince more people than “large controlled study done by the Swiss”. People are generally really ignorant

The Teleri were asking for it.

(Just in case, here is the /s. It’s fun to be a Noldorian loyalist in LOTR fan groups though)

Feanor, one of the OG elves, made three jewels called the Silmarils. All you need to know about Feanor is that he did nothing wrong.

A little known fact is that Bilbo named his mithril coat Stuart and his ring Andy.

In the abstract I agree with you. The problem is that this administration has implemented this with absolutely no plan, no consultation, no protocols for implementations and no way to transition. To do what you suggest requires years of deliberate planning and funding of sciences so that there is continuity as the nation builds its domestic STEM workforce. Which by the were ALL THINGS NSF was studying and implementing before the administration gutted them.

Can’t speak to IT but this will absolutely destroy the sciences. Americans are generally not interested in STEM and a large number of the scientific workforce in universities and industry are foreigners that have obtained their PhDs in the US and are staying for postdoctoral fellowships or industry positions.

Thanks!

Some more clarification - I plan to spend significant time overseas in a country to remain unnamed. This phone will be my daily driver in that country with a local number. I will likely get a prepaid US number for this phone as well. But I will also be traveling back and forth. I do not expect to have any important info on this phone but I am not looking for a bottom of the barrel true throwaway burner. Looking for a decent midrange phone. My risk tolerance tops out at $500 hence thinking about the pixel 9a but there may be better suggestions cheaper and/or used.

I can’t use US sim locked models because I will be using it internationally. So it also has to be unlockable/unlocked and support international LTE/5G bands.

Note I said semi burner. I’m not looking for a true burner phone, just one that if lost/confiscated it would not be devastating. $499 is the top end of what I am willing to risk since I deem the risk of it happening as low but nonzero.

Sure but I still need a recommendation for a model 😂
