It's kind of a blanket question, and OP hasn't shown they've done any homework.

If they said "I have this device, the bootloader is unlockable, but I can't find rooting instructions for it" would at least be something.

(And I gave them directions on next steps, but not specific to any phone).

So an older man flirted with you, and you wonder why you liked it?

Also, TL;DR, this is perhaps the 10th time you've posted this.

Night jump? Wow. Must be spectacular and very challenging.

Depth perception is already challenging during a day jump. Can only imagine what it's like at night.

Check the Lineage website first, they may show up there. It's a good, easy start, though not definitive.

If you can unlock the bootloader, it can most likely be rooted (I've never had a phone with an unlock able bootloader that I couldn't root).

Rooting today us largely done with Magisk. The sequence is:

Extract the boot image from a rom (I've always done it with a rom zip I've downloaded, usually Lineage or Divest). So this will be dependent on ability to get the boot partition image (not sure if it can be extracted from the phone, I would think there's a way).

Copy the boot image to the phone along with Magisk. Install Magisk, use it to patch the boot image.

Copy boot image back to PC, flash the boot image to phone. Now it's rooted.

Run Magisk and configure root options.

Check xdadevelopers.com for latest info on Magisk, I believe it's pretty well documented there.

Edit: If any of them are Verizon phones, it's less likely to be rootable, though I've found the Vzw Moto's tend to be unlockable.

Sunscreen defeats the purpose of sun exposure, as it blocks vitamin d production.

Much better just to get 20 minutes of sun a day, on as much skin as possible, without burning.

So if you burn in ten minutes, go out for 5 or 6 minutes, a couple times a day, protecting more sensitive skin with clothing as much as possible, reserving sunscreen for things that can't be otherwise protected (nose, ears, etc). And use an old-school sunscreen that's a physical barrier.

Which is worse than risking skin cancer with sun exposure.

These skin cancer rates include basal cell carcinoma, which comprises 90%+ of all skin cancers. (I think it's really 98%+)

Note it's a carcinoma, not melanoma, meaning that it's benign in almost all cases, and doesn't spread unless untreated for a very long time.

The severely curtailed vitamin D production from the lack of sunlight is far more damaging. It's a significant cause of diabetes, and contributes to many disease processes. And you can't really supplement vitamin D as the form our body makes from sun exposure is different than any supplement we can produce today.

Then there's the cardiovascular impacts.

I'd argue the catalog could be seen as advertising though.

"This is what you can buy from us" and the language in those catalogs presents everything in the best possible light.

Catalogs were almost always free, because it marketed products to consumers... Aka advertising.

I'd argue they're in the top 2 or 3.

What they've done is far more insidious than anyone else - much of the world willingly gives everything about their lives to Google, who uses that information (and provides it to whoever they choose) in all sorts of ways.

We know they've given data to the police which has affected innocent people.

There's also a question about it's origin possibly being from the NSA, etc.

This poses as much a threat as anything, and yet most people are completely unaware (and even when they are aware they don't seem to mind because "convenience"), whereas most people have some awareness of the modern-day version of Dutch East Indies company, they just don't think they can do anything about it (unlike Google and the rest of FAANG)

Yea, this is a concept drawing before production.

I remember seeing this and thinking how did they make an AMC Pacer, only worse?

Wtf are you on about?

Doctors are people

Exactly. Some suck. Some are assholes. Some are having a bad day.

As a consultant, I've been all of these to my clients at one time or another (well, I hope I don't just suck). I've misunderstood them. I've made mistakes. Doctors are no exception.

Then there's personality - you gotta figure out how to communicate with each person, not really any different than at work.

See a doctor.

Seriously. They can help. Not all of them, and they can be a real barrier to getting the help you need. And it takes time to work through them.

I had one asshole actually tell me "well I guess you're gonna have to learn to live with it". I'm lucky to not be in jail, I came very close to knocking that doctor's head off.

Now I have a moderately sympathetic doc, I've learned how he views things, and the way I have to present information so he can justify the treatments and meds he prescribes.
