It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.

All? Unlikely. But some? A lot harder to say. You’re asking for an opinion-based prediction at this point. I think they’ll probably eventually try to get the most outspoken critics, but I also think that’s a good time to not go silent. You get organized.

Honestly I don’t hate it if the ads are tailored enough. I don’t ever directly click ads, but I have seen products before that wormed into my mind and had me looking for similar/the same later. I don’t hate advertisements for legit products that actually fit my interest. I only hate ads because of how many of them are in my face and trying to convince me I need something that I don’t.

They’re either beating it back or delaying it. I hope it’s the former, but I fear it’s the latter.

Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.

It’s been fairly blatant for a while now. The seig heil is coming out now that they feel they’ve won. The goal is for the US to fall this time.

You are slightly and temporarily increasing the spacing between atoms/compounds in the stick. This spacing will effectively travel like a shockwave of “pull” down the stick.

I was going to mention not washing your chicken, but the comments nail it. Don’t wash your chicken, the bacteria just spreads around your kitchen.
