“Life is 90% Attitude.”

Did you hear about the jurisprudence fetishist who got off in court?

(… I’ll see myself out.)

Why, I couldn’t even get into the article before it faded into a paywall.

To get past paywalls, add “http://archive.is/” to the front of the URL.

So

“http://foo.bar/baz”

becomes

“http://archive.is/http://foo.bar/baz”

It works 99%+ of the time.

A decade ago Tom Scott was recorded for Computerphile with this hilarious an enlightening cautionary tale. Never, ever, write your own calendar code.

The clumsiness was in her jeans.

but it sounds pretty…solid to me.

I see what you did there. I, for one, think it’s a rock solid pun that most will take for granite.

That layer will also include, worldwide, levels of radioisotopes that do not occur naturally. The same way that there is an Iridium layer on the soils of 65MYA showing the asteroids that killed the dinosaurs, the current sediments being laid down have traces of plutonium and other materials that will exist until the sun becomes a red giant and swallow the Earth.

It’s a… Saguowlo cactus! 😆😆😆

What most people fail to realize, though, is that if you used time stop to sleep you would certainly have more productive hours “awake” – but at the cost of reducing your remaining life span in the time-wise world by one third. You’d still be aging while you sleep.

And I’ve already seen comments that it’s not available in the official Reddit app. Shocking (/s if that wasn’t obvious.)

Police though the Swiss might be involved, but that theory is full of holes.

Here’s how TOR works. It’s amazing.

And here’s how Onion hidden services work…

TOR lets journalists do their job safely from dangerous places, lets whistle-blowers report things we should know, and lets people in oppressive regimes see the rest of the Internet that their government blocks. It’s an amazing tool.

The impact of our cars, though significant, is far outstripped by global shipping (those container ships aren’t carbon-neutral), power generation (EV cars gotta get their power from somewhere), or the simple burning of rain forests to make room for cattle or crops.

It takes energy to smelt steel and aluminum and build a car, or to mine Rare Earth Minerals needed for the latest tech.

Driving and old car that you maintain, repair, and keep out of the junkyard is far more environmentally sound. So far. Hoping that balance will change in near decades.

Darknet Diaries.

And in the pilot of Firefly, during the Battle of Serenity Valley, the cannon that Malcolm Reynolds briefly mans bears a Weyland-Yutani logo.

Predator, Aliens, Blade Runner, and Firefly are all in the same Universe.

It’s the budget for the earthbound scientists who will be handling the geology side of the mission. The astronauts can’t know everything – this is their expert ground team for one part of the mission.

Steak jokes are a medium rarely well-done.

I’d tell you to go back to the drawing board, but…

“Oom,” I say, “Oom.” Good to see the cDc putting out software again; the name is a wonderful play on the words “veiled” and “valid.” I’m excited to see what gets built for Veilid after details of the protocol are re-veal-ed at DefCon. ;-)

Another thief stole all of the toilets from the station. The police have nothing to go on.
