No, but it still isn't secure enough for classified information. The protocol is probably fine, but the weak point is the device. And the device can be compromised. Devices rated for classified systems never touch the public internet which makes them significantly less susceptible to being compromised.

Not having a stand your ground law just means you have a duty to escape/remove yourself from the situation if it is safe to do so. It does not eliminate your right to self defense or extend it to defense of another. If someone is being kidnapped, they reasonably could not escape.

That being said, I doubt it would be ruled in favor of a defendant in this case.

To be clear, the Signal protocol has not been cracked. Russia has been using phishing attacks to get victims to link their signal account to a device Russia controls.

The other use for timezones besides local midnight is the offset between geographical areas. UTC+2 or UTC+4. if I start work at 6 UTC and my buddy at 10 UTC, I know for scheduling purposes we are 4 hours shifted from each other. Whether you have to do math or not depends, but it is still a "timezone" by a different name. The only way to completely get rid of timezones is to ignore local time altogether.

Except when you have to work with people geographically separated. Trying to figure out when their work hours are UTC, and when yours are, so as to line it up. Boom, you've reinvented timezones by a different name.

Leaving aside wanting kids at a different time, most of these places won't let women get elective tube tying or hysterectomy (vasectomy being for those with a penis) without jumping through a ton of hoops.

Highly recommend Buster extension. You click on it and it uses the audio version and solves it for you. Works like 95% of the time.

For a family or just for yourself? I guess I was thinking through the lens of buying for a whole family, which I know I would struggle to do on my bike.

Its difficult to buy a week's worth of groceries on a bike, which is often the norm in the US partly because of the car-centric nature. It's a trip or ordeal to get groceries.

Plenty of bidets have a storage tank with pre heated water or heat the water prior to spraying your butt hole.

I've used Kobo and Ebooks.com, and import into my Calibre library. I know some authors have a way to purchase directly on their site.

It absolutely does. https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/ there is a KFX input plugin. Also, if using an older version of kindle for PC you can batch download your whole library and import to Calibre.
