I replaced all my comments with the same phrase before deleting them with PowerDeleteSuite. The comments were fully restored and visible through a google search (but not visible through the user page). My posts were not restored, AFAIK.

This was during the whole 3rd party API thing. Maybe it was just something done during that time, but they certainly got around the edit replacement trick before.

If you gotta say it out loud, it probably isn’t true.

I’ve had connection issues and app instability a bit often, especially with the iOS version. Part of it might be our email server but I’m finding issues I never have with Google or even Yahoo clients. It’s not awful, but there are better and cheaper options at enterprise level.

It’s probably not that extreme most of the time, but there are plenty of sundown towns in the rural US. If the other poster is a minority it can certainly get ugly just by them being there at any time. Just because it isn’t nighttime doesn’t mean that they will necessarily refrain from targeting them.

Hell, even being a white man who doesn’t look like a local can get nasty looks and unwanted attention. I’d say it’s risky to be there for anyone who doesn’t have a local traveling with them.

As someone who used to be a Doordash driver, I had the opposite experience. I got angry texts because the food I delivered was cold (I received it at nearly room temperature and immediately put it in a quality thermal bag). It’s not too uncommon to be banned as a driver for reasons beyond your control.

One time I got a deactivation warning for attempting to complete an order in a flooded area. It was already an hour late because everyone else was accepting and dropping the order. I got punished for actually trying.

I wouldn’t say that’s true for gas. Without the right maintenance and/or shutdown procedures, refinery systems can reach dangerous pressures and literally explode.

Even shutting down a refinery is a very calculated process. If the refinery teams decided to walk away doing nothing, people would be in danger. The sheer amount of toxins released could kill quite a few, let alone explosions or fire.

I’m not a big fan of gas power, but it’s surely deadly in the wrong hands.
