Wouldn’t the hackers be able to release more info about the infamous “Q”? Like IP address or something?

Thong Song

Tbh I didn’t even mind what the bot was trying to do. I just remember opening what felt like every post and seeing dozens of lines taken up by the bot. I ended up just blocking it and cross-referencing with ground news myself.

“CrimeDad” asking us about our security setups? Good try buddy.

This is a big one. One of my friends would constantly berate himself like “I’m such an idiot”, “I’m a dumb old dinosaur” anytime he couldn’t fully grasp a new concept. Over time I could tell that it was actually making him less likely to give himself a chance at understanding. And he truly is a smart dude. One day I called him out on it and he just stayed quiet, took a deep breath and said “you’re right. I’m not an idiot, just need time to understand”. He no longer says it and now embraces a mental challenge.

I wish I could vape. This is gonna sound stupid, bc it is, but I’m a chronic asthmatic who has smoked for about 20 years now. Been intubated twice for asthma. And yet I still can’t put the damn cigarettes down. I’ve tried patches, gum, hypnotism, medication, you name it.

Vaping was the only thing that was helping when I switched but believe it or not, it was bothering me way more than a cigarette. Immediate throat scratchiness and shortness of breath. That doesn’t happen with smokes though. I’ve tried all sorts of vapes too. All with the same result.

Smoking is probably gonna be what takes me out and it sucks that I feel totally powerless. I will say though, that the book “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking” by Allen Carr got me off cigs for about 3 months. Then my grandpa died and it all spiraled back from there.

Saw this one yesterday. Pretty neat!!

Post title translations.

I used to use the prepaid approach a lot, but recently it seems like some companies are rejecting them. Mainly seeing it happen with subscription based services.

True, cutaway locks aren’t needed. I recently heard of a neat idea where you can call around various storage businesses and ask if they have cut locks from people who lost their unit. It won’t be useful to lock anything but great for practice. Unfortunately the one near me throws theirs away regularly so I need to call around more to see what I can find.

Yup! Thats like the one I have from Sparrows. I got their Tuxedo Reloaded set and it comes with all sorts of driver pins and keys to setup yourself.

Lockpicking maybe? Just recently got into it as a bucket list hobbies but it’s actually really entertaining. They sell practice cutaway locks that fit easily in one hand as you fidget about with the lock picks.

“…that any USG [US government] investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] represented extraterrestrial technology”.

Could it be clever wording? It doesn’t represent extraterrestrial tech if they found that UAP sightings originate from Earth somehow.

Having the kind of habits you need to keep yourself safe and private online.

Blows my mind how many people don’t consider or sometimes even reject the idea of things like password managers because “it’s too complicated”.

On a similar note, one technique I use while lucid dreaming is to try to pass my right hands index finger through my left hands palm. If I feel and see the resistance to my skin, I know I’m awake.

I think it depends on the context and situation that leads to contact. Also probably matter what country the make contact with.

If they come here zapping things into dust then the maybe not so. If they come here peacefully wanting to help, I can see some laws put in place pretty quick to try to prevent interactions that could trigger a problem.

Yeah and actually posted 3 days ago explaining a bit about what’s going on.

Hekate for sure. Goddess of magic, necromancy, the crossroads. Plus you get doggies to hang out with you all the time!

I might’ve came across it from a post here on Lemmy, but this website is great for music discovery. It lets you listen to music by decade and country via a neat map UI.

Oh god… just realized you’re that person from the Linux communities. I will carry on with my day.
