Just watched it. This is almost correct. The other thing carrying it is the soundtrack of course.
I wish I was as brave and well-spoken as this young man.
When I was 17-18 I scored really well on a test and the US Air Force tried to recruit me. It was tempting because I was fascinated with aerospace and it would have kickstarted my career and possibly meant no student loans. I’d easily be $100k better off today if I went down that path.
But I couldn’t imagine myself dropping bombs on potentially innocent people at the behest of some smug politician, or even loading ordinance for someone else to do it. The thought made me sick to my stomach. So I figured out my own path. But that was easy for me, because there was no major conflict at the time, no one threatening me with jail, and no social repercussions from that decision. I have to wonder if I would have made the same decision if it was under Tal Mitnick’s conditions.
They sure as hell do. Show your sources or GTFO.
If you’re not vaccinated (or not boosted for the correct variant) then the virus population blooms much more quickly and you get a higher viral load, meaning your coughs and sneezes are quite literally more contagious.
You should still get the boosters because those will both A) help keep you from becoming ill at all, and B) not transmit it to others if you do.
Most other people aren’t in great shape. Wouldn’t you feel bad if you passed it to someone’s cute kid or lovely grandma and they got severely ill as a result?
Seared kobold flesh and lingering brimstone.
Take a blowtorch to some grisltly game meat and at the same time burn a firecracker (or sparkler or whatever) and you’ll get the idea.
Lots of people are mentioning old electric car lighters, but not why things burn. The answer is the fire triangle, which just means you need 3 factors: fuel, oxidizer, and heat. Oxygen is obviously the most common oxidizer (hence the name) and basically everywhere in the atmosphere. And any substance that undergoes a sufficiently exothermic reaction will produce enough heat to propagate that oxidation as a chain reaction (i.e. fire) once enough heat is present to start it.
Not all fuels are equal. Ones that burn slowly will smoulder, while the ones that burn extremely fast explode. Too many unintended and destructive fires occur because people don’t realize when fuel sources are susceptible to heat (even a tiny spark), such as dust in a grain silo, a pile of oily rags, or even a compost heap (which builds up heat due to bacteria breaking down the contents).
But yes, back to the point, lighters just need to create heat because presumably you already have fuel and oxygen available.
But it does makes me feel fabulous. Hey whatever, buttholes have a lot of nerve endings. That’s not my fault, that’s just nature. And if it feels good AND means I’m clean that’s just a win-win, amirite?
I don’t know how to steal an entire horse. But if you praise one, bring it snacks, take it for long walks on the beach, maybe read it some French poetry under the autumn moonlight… well you might steal its heart.
You’re asking that question to a cabal of judgy celibate men in robes…
If you like characters and setting, it’s probably some of the best sci fi on TV.
Uh-huh… Like episode 5x20, “Ferengi Love Songs” ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
corn.com is supposedly for sale. My partner thought I was crazy for submitting an inquiry to buy it, but GoDaddy never responded :( There went my dreams of being captaincorny@corn.com or maybe cornman@corn.com.
Oh well, they probably wanted thousands of dollars anyway. All the 4-character .coms likely got squatted ages ago.
Buzzkill for control over notifications.
Musicolet is the best audio player I’ve found.
Nice try, legal compliance officer.
Actually this is an interesting question and good discussion.
I’m not disagreeing at all, I would totally back a nationwide switch to 100% metric. But I’m also trained in science where it’s the standard, and don’t really do any carpentry or auto repair where US units are still (I think) the norm.
25 years ago we had to memorize conversions and use a calculator (some calculators included a “cheat sheet”). It was 2 extra steps (convert to metric, do any needed math, convert back) but pretty routine once you got the hang of it.
Since then we’ve had Wolfram Alpha and a ton of unit converter smartphone apps. Even a basic Google query can convert most units.
This was more of a community service, but when I worked for a university office I ran a TOR node on one of my PCs. After a while though, IT sent someone to ask me kindly not to make it an exit node. Other than that they didn’t seem to mind. It was nice having excess bandwidth.
I also ran some distributed computing apps like folding@home.
We are the McBorg. Did somebody say assimilate?
No, I’ve played enough roguelikes. But I do hope at least half the runs are fun.
Yeah I feel like that one has to be trolling them
