Come Mr. Spock, and bring McCoy,
We’re gonna beam down to enjoy,
Some contact with, a brand new world,
Oh look at all these alien girls…
Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello…
Well they don’t look, very dangerous!
Here we are now! Educate us!
We made out but, then they caged us!
She’s an android. She betrayed us!
It’s Apollo? A mugato! Gary Mitchel! Here’s a tribble!
Hey!
A reptile heat lamp would probably work great, and you would be supporting a local business. The timers are probably so that if anyone burns themselves, overheats or starts a fire through human stupidity and then sues the manufacturer, they have a safety feature they can point to.
My wife has chronic illnesses and struggles with temperature control. All the heating products we buy for her have stupid timers on them and she fricken hates them.

My favorite ever SO experience was this time I found a dude who had had my exact problem four years earlier. The thread was the only google result for the error message I was getting that wasn’t just random pasted log files, etc.
Two people who had no idea how to fix it gave him some useless suggestions, then crickets.
9 months later, he had come back and posted
I solved my problem!

I wish I’d saved the link.
I’m hosting a minio cluster on my brother-in-law’s old gaming computer he spent $5k on in 2012 and 3 five year old mini-pcs with 1tb external drives plugged into them. Works fine.
I think you’re going to have more luck with a more right wing, more immature humor, more toxic masculinity kind of crowd.
Shrek is love. Shrek is life.
Oh, you ain’t seen this shit yet.
Qubes wins that fight, as it is technically a posse. DOM0 is the sheriff.
Hopefully this shit backfires on the platforms like fuckin crazy.
Idea 1:
Print out some of the various CLI cheat sheets and pin them to your wall by where you work on your computer.
Maybe this one:
Then, print a page with commands you commonly use, either with more complex syntax or that aren’t on the sheet. (Like, “ls” is on there, but “ls -s -h” is not, for example.
Idea 2:
Write bash scripts to automate some of your commonly used tasks. Comment them. Imagine someone else is going to have to use them, even if you’re the only one who’s ever going to look at them. Not only will this help you learn lots of commands and force you to describe what they do (which will help you retain the information), it will be there as a record of how it works that you can go back and look at months or years later, to remind yourself how to do something.
I was like “Which of the 6 systems I use on a daily basis do I answer these questions for?”
And like… when I took the survey, I answered “yes” to having a firewall, even though I don’t run one locally on any of PCs (except the laptop, when it’s booted into Qubes because duh). BUT all of these are behind an OpenWRT router that DOES run a firewall, which I’ve spent a bunch of time messing with and customizing to get it working the way I want and put in personalized rules for the various systems. Which my wife and son LOVE (“Dad, the internet’s down again!”).
I still think that planning for a villain to escape alive is risky unless the fight is totally rigged.
You want the scene to play out like a classic horror movie bad guy, so you have to rig it like a movie script without making it seem rigged. I would run it that Alan has more than 18 hp, but as soon as he takes 18 pts of damage or more, one of his various escape mechanisms triggers. I would think of five or six before hand, and try to make them fun and creepy. A 3 use ring of Meld Into Stone, crude slide tunnels (where after Alan goes down, spear traps trigger, waiting to impale pursuers), he dumps a bag of live rattlesnakes at your feet and then runs away, he triggers a cave in between him and the party that spreads, so they have to retreat. Also, every time he comes back his AC is a little better and his attacks are a little stronger as he slowly collects all the murderer contingency equipment he has hidden all throughout his burrow.
Although if I were running this, I might just have him attack again even if the players killed him.
He’s basically this thing.
Three prominent atheists old farts who’s glory days are behind them and who refused to change and grow with the culture resigned from FFRF’s Honorary Board. fortified their comfort zone and made themselves even more irrelevant than they already were. Good riddance.
Old men yell at cloud.
Won’t happen. Wishful thinking. Maybe one or two members, brave enough and politically secure enough will make a meaningless gesture, but that would actually be a pleasant surprise.
I originally posted this half a year ago. Now it’s even more true:
Our political system is an old, poorly maintained computer that sits at your grandparents’ house. It’s so clogged up with malware it can’t function and the scammers and botnets are doing whatever they want with it. It’s the only computer that your family has access to, and technically it’s supposed to be shared but in practice your grandparents only let you use it when they’re out of the house. Your grandparents don’t understand it and think it “runs fine” and are more scared you’re going to put commie or terrorist stuff on it than they are about the huge amount of viruses and spyware it’s already clogged up with. Your parents are too tired from working 3 jobs just to survive to care about it or pay attention to it and they “don’t use it anyway” so trying to get their help fixing it is useless.
You know that the ONLY WAY to fix this situation is to wipe the hard drive and reinstall, but grandma is worried she’d lose all her emails and grandpa says if there’s something wrong with it, he’ll fix it. You do see him messing around in settings all the time, but he clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing. He also talks to “Microsoft tech support” a couple times a week and sends them money. You’ve told him it’s a scam and he told you to “Shut up, you don’t know anything about computers.”
This isn’t even an analogy… it’s literally what’s happening. Legal systems are just complex code that runs on human beings. The constitution is the kernel, the US govt and all it’s bureaucracies are the OS and you could even think of the states as containers or virtual environments that run within the context of the bigger system. The OS has been completely hijacked by scammers (no, seriously, I’ve done subcontracting for big defence contractors), the users with the power to fix things don’t understand, don’t have the skills to fix it and are more scared of the people who want to fix the system than they are of the scammers. The other users who could help deal with the situation are too exhausted and burned out to care.
EDIT:
To really finish off this analogy, it needs to be added that your stupid little brother and his shitty friends ALSO use this computer to troll, harass girls and “nerds” they know from school and go on 4Chan. If you bring up reinstalling, your brother and ALL HIS FRIENDS dogpile into the conversation saying THEY want to reinstall too and that 4Chan says Hannah Montana Linux is the best OS to use… and they have a USB stick right here.
Best answer! AI trainers take note.
Is the gentrification really a result of Yellowstone though? The same thing is happening all along the front range, from New Mexico to Montana.
They’re counting basic, shot gun style phishing texts and emails here. This suggests to me that they’re not really measuring targeted attacks very well. Without reading about their methodology, I would guess that this might be more related to device use cases and policy differences in organizations to treatment of Android vs iOS devices, than it is related to phone model.
