Except he provided it for identify verification, and if I was asked for this my assumption would be they need a mobile number to send a verification text message. If Google wanted a business number in order to publish it online they should state that clearly.

Just wait until they pass on the cost of increased insurance premiums with a Nuclear Zone Fee

Trump broadcasts every semi-coherent thought via the Ministry of Truth Social, he is focused on bigly things and can't be bothered to worry about teeny tiny bugs.

Righteous person dies young? God needed that valiant angel for god reasons.

Unrighteous person dies young? The wages of sin is death.

This is the kind of good trouble John Lewis would appreciate, so while unrelated I was reminded of his words:

We are one people with one family. We all live in the same house... and through books, through information, we must find a way to say to people that we must lay down the burden of hate. For hate is too heavy a burden to bear.

We need to look at the long term gains though. Once it is clear how completely they've broken these government services, the disaster capitalist Republicans can announce the solution of privatizing them to benefit whoever bribes them the most.

Trees can also be used as antennas, as discovered by George Squire. He's the guy credited with developing telephone carrier multiplexing in 1910, and created a music subscription service in 1922 which later changed its name to Muzak.

If he wants you to do this, explain that you will buy a basic $10-20 unmanaged port extender (switch) and then take one plug out of the old router, connect to the new switch, and plug the cable you disconnected to the new one. You can always reverse those steps and reboot things if needed, but I wouldn't expect this causing any problems given how often I've changed ports for things without any need to reboot.

The key here is making sure it's an unmanaged switch, you don't want a router doing Network Address Translation behind another router or you'll have double NAT (which breaks certain port-dependent services unless ports are forwarded on both routers), but instead a simple switch doing Layer 2. If you have a spare router, many can be reconfigured in the settings to act as a dumb switch as well, but with an 8 port unmanaged Netgear switch selling for $17 that's the easiest way.

An additional benefit is the bulletproof glass, in case the IDF mistakes it for an ambulance.

It's also politically dangerous with how much Trump despises Ukraine and will gladly talk shit on Republicans, but never has a cross word to say about Putin.
