We won’t understand until it starts happening to us. Not to worry, it’ll hit everyone soon enough. The ones already alive today in our cushy first world insulated biomes will feel it.

Unfortunately, only the ones without the power to make any changes will be the ones that suffer most.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

This is the first I’ve heard that they’re planning other engines other than the hydrogen. Which I certainly hope for, as hydrogen-only would put it out of reach for a lot of people due to how impractical it is to find a hydrogen fueling station right now.

My other concern is that they won’t make many of these. I’d rather it not be a 1 of 500 that sit around in collector’s garages collecting dust.

Working on IT, I see quite the spectrum. One of which was a guy who was socially lacking. He did his job ok, but in office, he didn’t know how to interact with other people. He would bring his own pickles and put them in the fridge, and fish them out for a snack. Then he would get ice for his water, and go back to work. He missed a critical step of using a utensil or washing his hands, and it took a while for everyone to realize why the ice started tasting off.

Then we find that he didn’t wash his hands thoroughly, and I got sick eating chips he had rummaged through earlier.

He did an ok job at his desk, but made other people uncomfortable because he couldn’t pick up on enough social queues to prevent people from disliking him.

He was eventually let go for trying to fix a cable under the desk of the only girl in the office, on the day she wore a skirt. This was far and beyond extreme and I wouldn’t expect most people, no matter where they fall in the spectrum, to behave this way. But the interviews are to try to suss that out. “Culture fit”, I think they’d call it.

That’s slate. Very sure. It’s a common building material (especially roofing) where it can look and act like that.

Shale is similar. I have a lot of shale deposits nearby, and I can say that stripping paint with a paintbrush would likely break little bits off of it. It’s way to fragile to do anything with it. It would be exceedingly difficult to cut it to that shape and keep it that way, as well.

I just want to ride on my motorcycle

He looks like a baby that just ate a lemon wedge for the first time.

If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die historic on the Fury Road!

I really enjoyed the first one, so I’m looking forward to this as well. They made a pretty good historical have that was also entertaining, and felt much more realistic than something like Skyrim without being too hardcore.

Well, right, it doesn’t have to be a specific OS. I haven’t done much research because I’m my current situation, it’s not a good option for me as (for instance) some of my required 2FA apps won’t validate on a rooted phone.

If that changes, I’d do more research, obviously.

I bet the adult diaper cradles them just enough to prevent it

I rooted my phone years ago and it was a chore. Once it finally worked, hardly any of my apps would run and nothing important worked because suddenly a rooted phone isn’t “safe”. It was such a pain in the ass to do updates and fight programs to run that I stopped. I didn’t want to spend hours fixing a device that I really didn’t want to think about.

I would love to install GrapheneOS and have it mostly just work. I hate having my phone locked down like it’s not mine, and it’s one of the reasons I won’t use it for anything important over my desktop.

They’re probably set up to conserve battery power and stay up for hours at a time, whereas kamicrazy drones are full of speed and explosives so they don’t need to stay up long. As soon as a UAV is spotted, they launch to intercept.

Just a guess, though.

Yes, but I would also say that an entire generation isn’t responsible for everything. It’s usually a few very powerful people in that generation that get an the influence.

Walmart.com didn’t work for me on FF for about a week, and it did work on edge and chrome (still broken on FF when I disabled all my add ons). However, they fixed it and it works now. I think it was just a problem with the build of the website, and wasn’t intentional because it definitely works now.

I think that’s what’s more likely - temp problems that could affect any browser until their web dev fixes it. Not anything malicious like intentionally blocking a browser.

And then, it’s just Walmart. It’s nothing that really mattered.

I don’t agree with the ratings. Fox News gets a “medium” which puts it on the same ground as a lot of actual news sites. There’s no way that should get anything more than a “low” or something below that.

I can’t tell how they’re determined other than a singular brief mention of one thing, so to me it looks like they made the call based on one event they cherry picked. But really, it doesn’t matter though to me to investigate any group that rates fox news so highly. I’ve had to suffer through their bullshit lies for years and find them responsible for a lot of the partisan damage we’ve seen over the decades. Medium? What the fuck does it take to get a low rating?

To add to that, I very much doubt any big company tests and verifies anything anymore.

Boeing ships planes with missing bolts and proper software, Crowdstrike pushes updates with no testing, we’ve all seen Microsoft push updates that break stuff because there’s no testing, and that’s just what comes to mind.

That’s how they maximize profits - get rid of testing environments, do minimal checks, and have the one guy doing 3 jobs at once just push it to production.

I’ve been in IT for the banking industry for over a decade and I promise you, we’re all a missed cup of coffee or a comma away from another massive outage due to a program or network misconfig.

As long as business culture is set to maximize profits for one quarter, I wouldn’t trust a sales website about “verification” or “disaster recovery backups” any more than I trust a used car salesman.

That goes for Crowdstrike, but also all of their competitors.

I didn’t even know Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days until you said something and got all upset about it, brochacho. But now that you made us all look it up, I’m definitely repeating it to everyone, everywhere.

Can you tell me more things that make Putin look like a fool? Since that seems to be what your goal is.

It’s not about less. It’s about then maximizing profits and they aren’t about to give anyone a discount. They want to know how much higher they can go before you refuse. If it’s lower than their typical project margin, they won’t care if you don’t buy because you weren’t going to be in the customer pool anyway.

Well, what I mean is that voting “against” a genocide across the globe could very well enable a genocide here, because it can and has happened before.

I live in a reservation, but I can drive 20 minutes to see the house my great grandmother lost to a white man because he was more important. My family tree has lots of people that died in their 20’s and 30’s of “Tuberculosis” and other BS reasons just to lose their land allotments, and we didn’t even have headrights to our land in our tribal deal to be removed from our homeland by force.

So yes, genocide in the US is always fresh in my mind and I don’t see that it’d take a lot to whip up Proud Boys and MAGA heads into doing the next round on anyone that wasn’t straight, white, and Protestant. And I cannot fathom why anyone would enable Trump to do that again because of Palestine, which Trump would enable anyway.
