I live in Washington (a couple hours from Vancouver). Should I apply or are you only looking for Canadian residents?

I loved the tour! You did an amazing job.

I thought I should pass along that I found a misspelling. You wrote "sarcophaus" instead of "sarcophagus" in the text within the King's Chamber.

I love these ideas! I've always wanted to do home automation stuff but I worry about sending data to outside parties. Do you happen to know if Home Assistant monitors the things you have installed and/or keep track of the data your devices pass to each other?

> Articles like this strike me as propaganda. You can believe that covid 19 is real and covid 19 is deadly but still be against lock downs, despite what the propaganda would have you believe.

How is this article propaganda? The nurse said, "many of her patients don't believe they are dying of COVID-19".

The patients weren't arguing against the lock down, they were arguing that the virus isn't real.

How does Capital One give back 2% on all purchases? They must be monetizing purchase data as well, right?

I've been thinking about setting up a backup for my Mac for a while now. How long does it usually take to scan your folders during a backup?

From the article:

The Neptunian Desert is the region close to stars where no Neptune-sized planets are found. This area receives strong irradiation from the star, meaning the planets do not retain their gaseous atmosphere as they evaporate leaving just a rocky core. However NGTS-4b still has its atmosphere of gas.

The Capital One Venture Rewards card gives me 2% back on all purchases (I'm in the US). It comes with a $60 per year fee. So, if I spend more than $3,000 on the card over the course of the year it's a net positive. Now, they have access to all of my purchase data but I get around $700 every year to spend on travel. I've weighed the costs/benefits and it's worth it to me.

All I really want to do is allow calls through to my phone that are stored in my contacts. If they're not in my contacts, I'd prefer not to be notified and have it sent to voicemail.
