In addition this was back when airlines had strong restrictions on wireless being used on planes, so many devices had physical switches to turn WiFi/Bluetooth off. Maybe it's still turned off

This was a feature I really appreciated in RedReader and it would be great if Voyager could do it too

This reminds me of the time circa 1992 when my brothers convinced me to ride a scrap lawnmower chassis down the big hill near our house. They didn't consider it important to actually attach the lawnchair so it just fell apart when it got up to speed.

I'm still kind of mad about it lol

I called 911 a few years ago and they had a police officer call me back when he got to my neighborhood. I had to do this a few times as the incident repeated a few days later. Each time the officer called me his number was hidden.

That's the only time I've ever had a call from a hidden number that was not a scam, but I would be hesitant to block them all

That also makes it illegal to nuke hurricanes

It's not a dad joke unless it's apparent

To my untrained eye it looks like raspberry. Raspberry plants propagate through underground runners, which just look like any random stick

I have some bad news for you - any random idiot with a driver's license and a two-ton death machine already puts your ass at risk, all the time. We call it "traffic" because we've just gotten used to it

Everyone I know who has had a skunk spray was due to one of two causes:

1). They ran it over with their car or 2). Their dog attacked it

In general skunks are very reticent to actually spray. I've never known anyone to get it from just walking by. I knew someone who blocked a skunk with their shoe from running in the house, because they mistook it for their cat.

From what I understand, they have poor eyesight and hearing, so in my experience they usually don't even notice you. They are a wild animal though so the important thing would be to not surprise them. I think if you make noise, keep your distance, and never corner one you should be fine.
