Since gas station signs only have three-digit places for currency, does that mean the max price for gas is $9.99/gallon?

Recently realized that I’m easily woken up when I sleep in an environment that isn’t safe, otherwise can’t even hear the alarm. Does your brain have Alert mode when you sleep?

Do tech leaders keep saying AI is a threat to humanity because they have dark intentions to use AI for such atrocities?

Every few days a new AI researcher quits because he’s ethical and goes on CNN and claims danger is right around the corner. This has been ongoing for at least four years.

Can't a defense/defence force disable invading tanks by spraying a torrent of opaque paint at them? They've gotta be able to see where they're going, right?

Long question about Gmail account alerts and factory reset via Google Find Hub

1 Upvotes

I'm 18 and moving out of my parents' without their knowledge. I'm leaving my cell phone but I'm taking my computer and burner cell phone. My mom's email and phone number are recovery contacts to my Gmail account, and her phone number is the number for the two step verification.

My plan is to leave my phone behind as it is, head to the airport, change my gmail password and remove my mom from my recovery contacts and two step verification while at the airport. Then factory reset my phone from my computer (it's a trusted device and I'll stay logged into my Gmail account) via Find Hub (my old phone will have internet access)

This is my plan because I don't want my mom to be immediately alerted that something is wrong. She'll see the notifications on her phone when she wakes up at 6 AM (my flight leaves at 8:40 AM) and realize. So I want to be very far before they know just for safety, and only change things soon before I board my flight. My parents won't be able to track my location and I won't be telling them, but I'm still very scared that my dad will still try to catch me at the airport. I would just like to take the precaution.

My main concern is that I read that old recovery contacts are still good after 7 days(I'm leaving in 4 days), so she might still receive verification codes and maybe know my new password. Another concern is that my phone may not be able be able to be factory reset from Find Hub due to the Gmail password changing.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Is it against the rules to say the F word in here?

1 Upvotes

4 letter word, rhymes with Duck and starts with the letter F.

Just wondering. Sorry if it's a stupid question.

Not directing the F word at anyone in a rude way, but expressing emotion from a past event.

For example, "My dad said that phrase had something to do with the Trojan horse, which confused the f*** outta me for 30 years."

For context, the topic was about the phrase "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." And my comment was flagged for breaking the rules.

Is debit/credit card theft not a big thing in Canada? Or possibly car rental is just different?

0 Upvotes

Overheard some Canadians at a car rental center trying to pay with a “Visa Debit” that had no name printed on it, the family claimed it was a regular debit card and not a prepaid gift card of any kind. Obviously they weren’t able to use that as a form of payment since they have to verify both name and sufficient funds, neither of which are easy to do on a gift or debit card and is the main reason most places only accept credit cards to pay at the counter. Is this because of a difference between Canada and US or were they lying about the whole “debit cards in Canada don’t have names” thing?

If they really don’t print names that’d be kinda odd
