I use my real name, but I’ll put the business as my middle name. So when l get an email saying “Dear John StoreName Doe”, I’ll know who either got hacked or sold my info.

It’s spelled “gringe”

Want assistance? I haven’t got much experience with people, but I do have slaughtered a bunch of poultry, I have my own axe and I’m quite keen to help

65? 65?!? My expected retirement age is 7-goddamn-2 and considering that’s in the 2050s shit could happen to that plan in the meantime…

This. You’ve got to ask yourself, what your goal when interacting with law enforcement is. It it your goal to stand up for every right? Or do you want to get away for the interaction as easy as possible?

Let me give you an example of what I mean. I Denmark police can stop and ID you without a cause. You don’t have to provide an ID, but you have to state your name, address, and birthday. If you don’t, then you’ll be arrested. Our SSNs consists of birthday and a checksum. You’re not required to state your SSN checksum, but if you do state it, the police will have to pay you if the stop is longer than 10min.

So giving the police a little more than they’re entitled to, can get you out of the interaction a lot easier.

Of course you can stand up for your rights, and if you want to fight, then do it. But it will make your day harder.

We’re so focused on electronics here, but this part can save your ass:

Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil

The following is translated from the meager tactical training I’ve received: Emphasis on the pencil being small. You definitely don’t want a full size pencil in your pocket if shit hits the fan and you get tumbled.

Maybe get a waterproof notepad. But make sure that you can easily rip out pages. Use a single sheet for all the info you don’t want the police to have (like all the other burner phone numbers and such) That way you can rip that sheet out and swallow it, if you’re about to be captured.

Also, about the scarfs. I don’t know about the US, but at least in my own country, it’s illegal to use a mask at protests. Meaning a mask would get you singled out and targeted by law enforcement.

Other day I tried opening the command prompt on a windows server 2019 by hitting the start button and typing cmd. Waited for 20s before hitting win+r and running cmd.exe from there.

Ws2k19 maybe dated, but wtf is up with that level of performance in searching? I mean if you can’t do it in a way approaching satisfactory, then why roll it out at all?

My new job issued me with a sweet ass workstation laptop… With W11

Upside is that the IT dept has about zero awareness of the governance part of cyber security. The laptop has an unlocked bios and coworkers have had no questions asked when their domain joined machines didn’t check in for years.

So guess who’s about to swap the ssd and roll the machine for a debian based distro. Just need to figure out drivers for the nvidia rtx 1000 ada GPU

From the other post I remember you said that having the letters in the top layers didn’t work for you, because that meant a lot of support material to remove.

From what I understand, your product consists of two parts. The large part with the letters and a counter part, which is just a flat piece.

So why not put the letters in the flat piece? That way you can print them either way up.

That’s not a rock, that’s Dwayne Johnson, you know the actor

You forgot the bylaw: if you strap it down, tuck on the straps and in unison say “yup, that’s not going anywhere”, then your project can’t fail.

They did strap the lift to the flotation device. So long as they remembered the sacred incantation, it’s no longer stupid, reckless, or an OSHA violation.

Wtf why are you commenting in braille?

I don’t care about the rating on other people’s content. On my own I only care so far as to use it as a guideline for whether I actually was interesting.

On reddit I was a trolling karma whore, but here? Here I’m much more about engaging with people and getting 3 upvotes tells me that I gave the community something meaningful.

1. the lets put a lot of shit in the title bar of our app trend. Fuck off, I use that bar to pull the window around.
2. The idea that I should adapt to the technology, and not the other way around. Don’t force changes on me, especially when they’re only implemented to be able to slap a new version number on the box.

She has the most iconic line from my youth.

Some soldier, saying to Vasquez who’s doing pull-ups: hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man To which she replies: no, have you?

Also the way

I mean next to Ripley, the android and the little girl, she’s the most memorable character in that movie.
