It comes in three lengths. I use the middle length and it's heavy but certainly feels secure. Kryptonite has anti-theft protection offer. I've never used it but it might be good to look into in your situation.

It's similar to how some sweaters feel after wearing them for half a day.
Considering they are suppose to be active ware, I need them to hold em tight throughout the day. Can you comment on how ice breakers work in this regard?
Edit. the brand I have from REI is icebreakers lol. Supreme comfort but loose during vigorous activity causing the boys to slip out. Probably better in trunks or boxer briefs.

I to too am interested in suggestions of junk trunks but fear the relative complexity of production might preclude a Darn Tough-like guarantee.
Personally Calvin Klein cotton trunks are my workhorse nut-huts. They seem to last a reasonable time before the elastic wears out or a put a thumb through the right side.
Perhaps the style of underwear you are looking for would help narrow the search? (Boxers, boxer briefs, trunks, briefs, thong.)

It's definitely not encrypted between iPhones and Android. At least for now.

That would mean displaying their 7 tenants next to the 10 commandments.
For those of you who aren't familiar TST is a secular church that champions the separation of Church and state, equal representation, body autonomy, bans on corporal punishment for children.Their tenants are pretty solid IMHO
There are Seven
FUNDAMENTAL TENETS
IOne should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Sometimes that might happen on a different day, or I might knock during the party.I understand this is not for everybody. I understand it's not always possible or safe. I understand that you don't owe the party any considerations.
This is simply how I would handle it in my community.

Something like what California did in the 80s with elections for Judges.
I know it's a pipe dream because
a, it's probably unconstitutional, and b maintaining the two party system is the one thing that Democrats and Republicans agree on.Still, I can't help but dream about what US politics would look like without a two-party system, and without Citizens United.

We opted for the Isle de Plata day tour dubbed 'the poor man's Galapagos'. Not as great but there were some blue footed boobies!

In the US we have foam boards that are covered in mylar (reflective metallic coating) and are 4’x6’ (122cm x 182cm). I leaned a few of these up against the windows that got the most light and it kept the temp in my house (especially my bedroom) much cooler. If the boards aren’t available anything white or reflective could work.A word of caution: make sure that the light isn’t reflecting onto the ground or anything that could even possibly catch fire.
With that said a board leaning against the wall at 80 degree and pointing out to nowhere will be fine. -
