step down
How about we call for his arrest and trial?
I'm really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life puts us in a place where we need our family, even if they're awful.
That all sucks. To answer your question: decide whether you really have to deal with them forever. In this case, unless I'm missing something significant, it sounds like you could cut your brother and his family out of your life. It sounds like their contributions are exclusively negative, and after going behind you and your mother's backs with the land thing, you'd be perfectly justified to cut them out.
In short: don't deal with them.
I live a few miles from the border and cross at least weekly. You could generally get away with this for a handful of things, especially if you're smart about it (dispose of all packaging and tags, have an otherwise legit reason for a short visit, etc).
But if they question you, and they determine you're intentionally lying about it, you can expect to pay additional fines and lose several hours of your life.
I think his autotwit (or whoever is manipulating his autotwit, maybe our real president) came up with that one.
Brilliant. Good setup, nice twist at the end.
Still a showerthought
Often some sort of coupling pin.
The main justification is that there's a decent chance the images are being used without this person's knowledge or consent. Which seems like a pretty reasonable take.
I work in automotive, and have done a bunch of work on the Bolt.
Unfortunately, vehicles made in the last 5 years or so are protecting CAN bus traffic from exactly the kind of thing you're looking to do. You'd need to know exactly how to calculate certain values on your messages to be able to replicate them, plus you'd need to block out the messages from the actual OnStar ECU. This isn't really feasible, unfortunately.
You can probably still read traffic from the OBDII port, but I don't recommend trying to send traffic (those busses are often pretty loaded up anyways) unless you have an existing tool that you could replicate exactly.
Oh! And if she's into puzzles, look at Islands of Insight. First person with puzzle solving as the main mechanic, but also some exploration and a bit of mystery to it.
I'd consider what kind of game she finds fun and compelling--that's more likely to engage her to become familiar with the mouse/keyboard combo.
That being said, Minecraft on peaceful mode would fit and is generally approachable. Stardew Valley is pretty relaxed as well, though I don't remember whether it uses WASD specifically.
Yeah, but right now it's about SCOTUS. Sometimes it's other stuff.

Until there are viable options for ethical AI generation (that is, all training data is used with the authors' and artists' explicit permission), I'd suggest banning it, but erring on the lenient side when people aren't sure whether an image is AI-generated.
Remember the old ThinkPad idiom: "If the cracks are just plastic, it's still fantastic!"
Knoppix FTW!
The frame really wraps it up nicely. Good work! Here's hoping we can live to see a time where this kind of art isn't a reflection of our reality.
