Call screening is honestly one of the best features to ever come to a phone. I really wish this could be added to every handset.

Should be every single one that supports IPv6.
It’s usually considered a poor idea to use it also as an AP.
The location usually isn’t great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.
OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It’s still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.
First you’d need a machine. I’ve got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.
The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it’s likely the port is Realtek which isn’t supported well.
So, you’ll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.
If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you’ll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.
Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don’t plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.
Once you’re happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you’ll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.
They haven’t had an expansion franchise since 2002 and it’s unlikely it’ll happen any time in the near future. 32 teams is perfectly balanced - each conference has 16 teams and four divisions. Each division has four teams.
It would also be very expensive.
You’d need a stadium that met the NFL standards. The average stadium costs about $2B. Fortunately for her (and unfortunately for the rest of us), taxpayers on average pay about $1.2B of that. We’ll be very generous and assume they paid even more or she received a substantial loan that will be paid off otherwise, leaving her with about $250M out of pocket.
It should be noted that the opposite is more often true for expansion teams, though. Cities don’t want to pay for the stadium because there’s more risk with new teams. They could decide to leave very quickly, the owners might not have the capital to keep the team afloat, etc. The Texans were the last expansion team and nearly all of the cost for their stadium was privately funded.
Now, the NFL also charges a fee for expansion teams. This mostly has to be a guesstimate because we haven’t seen one in two decades. The Texans paid $700M at the time so we can assume it would be closer to $1.5B now.
After that, you have the practice facilities and offices. Cities don’t usually cover that. You might be able to get away with using local facilities for a couple of years, but that won’t be enough to actually create a competitive team. A safe low-end estimate for this would be $150M. The Cowboys paid $1.5B for their facilities, but other teams have paid as low as $125M.
Finally, the last big cost is payroll. This by itself would sink any chance she has.
The NFL requires all guaranteed contracted salaries to be placed in escrow. I’m not sure where that rule came from, but I can probably guess Al Davis is to blame. A single year’s salary would be $225M for 2023 and around $240M for next season.
However, most of the big name players have guarantees that would destroy that. The most common is a signing bonus. Teams love them because the salary cap rules would allow them to amortize it over the length of the contract, including “void years”. Your QB would receive about $200M immediately upon signing. The expansion draft picks and early draft picks would be another $300-500M likely. In the end, the salary escrow plus bonuses would be about $500M-1B.
So assuming everything goes her way, she’d be on the hook for close to $2.5B immediately plus the reoccurring costs.
It should also be noted that the NFL isn’t really a great way to make money as an owner. It’s really just a long term retirement hobby for billionaires. They could just go invest in companies or whatever, but they buy NFL teams because they like football and it occupies their time. Yeah, they’ll make money, but not as much as they otherwise could. There’s a reason most owners hate the idea of a super-billionaire like Bezos owning a team.
They were doing awful in the first half. Their offense couldn’t get a first down to save their lives. Kelce had one reception for one yard.
She’s still not rich enough to buy the worst team in the NFL. You’d still need about $5-6B just to get interest.
He had one target for one yard in the first half. Travis Kelce is the best TE currently in the NFL and considered to be the third best ever to play the game.
Since all the receivers for the Chiefs are mid at best this year, he’s got some reason to be pissed. One of them, Kadarius Toney, was put on the gameday injury report for the AFCCG as being out for a leg injury and “personal reasons”. He then went public saying his leg was perfectly fine and he had no personal reasons to skip the game… Basically clarifying that the actual reason he wasn’t playing was because he’s ass.
But Travis Kelce was also being guarded by Fred Warner during the first half who is one of the best linebackers in NFL history.
It could be a diva moment, sure. But it’s the Super Bowl. Good teams know that you trust your studs. Romo would throw to Dez in double or triple team coverage, knowing he’d come down with it. Peyton Manning would chuck it at Marvin Harrison no matter who was on him. When someone is that good, all you’ve got to do is get the ball in their vicinity. Either they’ll come down with it or they’ll keep the defenders from getting it.
It’s still stupid to yell at your coach like that and physically push him, but Andy Reid was making a lot of boneheaded decisions in the first. They went into halftime down 10-3. They did change things up during the second half, though. Kelce ended up with 9 receptions for 93 yards while the Chiefs won 25-22 in OT.
Age discrimination only applies if you’re above 40.
At least for Ubuntu, you do need to set the permissions of the AppImage before it’ll launch.
I still haven’t figured out how to make .desktop files work yet.
I get mandatory tips on large parties as long as the policy is made clear before ordering. But like you said, service charges are ridiculous and so are mandatory tips for small groups.
That would be great, but you can buy a $20 burner from a gas station that’s more powerful than those phones.
The regular version uses the Allwinner A64 chip which retailed for $5 when it was released… Back in 2015.
The Pro version uses the RK3399S, which is a custom lower binned version of the RK3399. Neither chip was made available retail, but the SK3399 was released in 2016 and only otherwise used in low-end Chromebooks and SBCs.
I’ve got no problem with it, especially after I created some macros to tag and sort my emails.
Not Oracle Cloud ERP/EPM though. Those are the worst programs I have to use on a daily basis. For whatever godforsaken reason, the Smart View extensions for the Office apps are all connected to each other so if you’re running some SV function in Excel, Outlook will freeze up.
No worries, you can just disable the plugins in the other apps, right? Wrong. The plugins automatically re-enable each other.
Death rate per 100,000,000 miles has been dropping a lot over time.
In 1923, when it first started being tracked, it was standing at 21.65. 1970, it was 4.88. 1990, 2.21. In 2021, it was 1.5.
It spiked recently, though, a tiny bit around 2015-2016 but then greatly in 2021. In 2014, the rate was 1.17.
I do agree that the self-driving features are kinda pointless, especially right now, though. GM has gotten especially bad with their marketing, showing ads with people intentionally taking their hands off the wheel and not paying attention to the road while the car’s moving.
I’ve had to reboot my Linux computer every couple of weeks because of an update.
I reboot my Windows laptop maybe once every few months because of an update.
But if it’s going to the ocean from Fort Wayne, it’ll have to go East.
The Maumee River meets up with Lake Erie which eventually goes towards the Hudson Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Although I suppose that still doesn’t have to cross the mountain.
It’s a long trip from the Maumee to the Erie to the Hudson to the ocean.
If done well, buffalo chicken mac and cheese is great, too.
Unfortunately most restaurants do a garbage job with it. They just add the chicken and hot sauce into the mac and cheese and let it sit in a pan until someone orders it. This needs to be made fresh when it’s ordered or it just turns into mediocre mush.
They all always screw up buffalo chicken dip, too. That’s even worse because it’s so easy to make right.
Rotisserie chicken
Hot sauce, half a cup to a full cup depending on what you like
Block of cream cheese
Bag of sharp cheddar.
Packet of ranch seasoning. Don’t use ranch dressing, it’ll make it too watery.
If you like blue cheese, grab a small block or, if you’re lazy, grab a little container.
Use two forks to shred up all the breast meat on the rotisserie. Make the shreds varying in consistency - some should be very fine, some should be normal shredded chicken, some should be little chunks.
Slice the cream cheese into small strips. If you’re using a block of blue cheese, remove the rind and crumble it. I like to use a knife for this because it’s quicker.
Grab a large pan. Throw the chicken and hot sauce in. Set it to medium and mix. When it starts simmering, add everything but the blue cheese. Mix it up until it’s all melted and combined. If you have blue cheese, add it now and keep mixing until you’re happy with it.
Turn off the stove. It’s ready now and you’re about to have some fantastic fucking buffalo chicken dip.
I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
Raisins are delicious and most cookies would be improved with oatmeal.
Most don’t get that many. OP is likely targeted in the systems. My guess is that he votes often in the primaries and has shown interest elsewhere, like by signing up for communications or donating to or volunteering for campaigns.
I just checked my spam and I’ve received four political texts in July.
