Anyone employed there should have been paying attention for the last 15 years, and if they weren’t planning long term to find another job or train themselves while working there,

Lots of folks don't have the capacity or luxury to be highly mobile with regard to their employment. Even if they did, these plant closures are just the beginning. Even those you are praising that do have the high skills and mobility will be facing this same fate in the days ahead. There's no safe zone for solid future employment for any of us.

can’t say I have any sympathy for them.

I'll always have sympathy for working people just trying to work scratching out a living.

Hollywood Burbank Airport

Its the only airport I've ever flown in or out of that lets you board an deplane from both the front and back doors on a 737.

Baggage claim is actually outdoors! You get your bag and are standing about 30 feet from the arrivals pickup road.

Its a fun small airport with a prime location.

We probably can't even afford trump "I did that!" stickers anymore because the print media probably come from China.

It would be cool if it could somehow integrate to a VPN and only do that while the VPN is active. I don’t think it’s possible, though

Potentially possible, but I agree, likely not worth the effort.

I'm not so sure of that. It seems like they've served their purpose in getting him into office. "Giving them a break" would also interfere with large agribusiness companies interest in gobbling up financially failing family farms.

When was the last time you checked the length of your DHCP lease?

Shouldn't that be a "self aware wolves" meme responding?

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying.

Are you saying you're having trouble with dry & sarcastic humor or are you saying the events of the days we're living in are so farcical that you're having difficulty determining truth from fictional statements someone says to you?

You're right, but I didn't want to dive too deep with a throwaway internet comment. I'm using the word "profit" here loosely not to mean only dollars. The act of distribution can negatively affect the rights holder if the person violating the copyright/trademark dilutes, tarnishes, or misrepresents the rights holder's IP.

I touched on this a tiny bit with my comment in there "or negatively affect the profits of the rights holder with your work using their name."

I'm past caring about giving my IP to a website that I want to use, but what this is doing is handing out your information to every single advertiser that is published on any page you visit. In some cases this plugin would match the definition of "leaking personal data".

You do you though. I won't stop you.

If you care about your information and privacy, why are you giving them your information for nothing?

That HTTP request would also show up in the advertisers web logs with your origin IP address.
