I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.

Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.

Your brand of “it’s all stupid, so join the stupid train” seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.

In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.

You can do better.

32 now and I actually like it. I hope it will taint my profile in a positive way

Oh that Royksopp is excellent.

I’m not a huge trek nerd, but recently watched the whole series, and the two main irritations were the blatant/unnecessary/annoying/offensive sexualization, and the theme song.

It’s easy to skip the opening sequence but the gratuitous fetishizing was pretty awful. The whole series would have been better without.

They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.

It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again

All this tells us is that Russia has literally zero anti-aircraft/intercept capability — even for national-level strategic sites.

They keep getting their turds pushed in by radio-controlled light civil aircraft pottering in thousands of km at highway-traffic speeds.

Pitiful.

One of the two men you mentioned will win – barring a death before the election, either Biden or Trump will be elected.

All the wanking in the world isn’t going to result in a third option with even the remotest chance.

I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.

Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.

But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like “stickers” and then the pin-code harassment.

Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)

Easy! Just replace their usual SMS app with Signal, and then every contact they have that does use Signal is private and secure!

Oh. Wait. That’s exactly the functionality that Signal removed in their effort to ensure that Signal is never widely adopted…

Facesitting porn (of adults) is illegal in UK for the reason that it’s potentially dangerous

And it just links to a Twitter post as far as I can tell

Hemlock Society recommends an oven roaster bag (like for turkeys) and a bottle of inert gas (usually helium is easiest to get) and just flow enough in to keep the inert atmosphere in the bag “fresh”

Also, there is ‘gas stunning’ which is used in Europe for slaughter. There are some practices that use CO2 for this, but at a nearly 100% level it is pretty instantaneous, much like HS2 – which you can’t even smell at high concentration, because you’re dead already.

Point, there is some state of the art around using gas to kill; it’s not a brand new concept.

So,.like — was this guy in a relatively large volume chamber/booth and they just trickled the N2 gas in?

If there was enough volume, it could take a long time for the O2 levels to get low enough for him to pass out… BUT does a human body produce enough CO2 to fill that space to the point of triggering the suffocation response? Seems unlikely…

OR did they just strap a rebreather mask to his face and turn on a few l/min?

Were any specifics about the actual setup published?

But – nitrous (N2O) is more fun and has just as little usable oxygen – zero

For easy access to an inert gas at-home, try a helium tank from the Party Store

Doing something about International Law on international waters is a totally different matter than within the the borders of a sovereign nation.

Virtually every international border on the planet.

It’s pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you — facial recognition is super easy and it won’t be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.

This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.

The only unlock key that’s (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.

I’ve mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.

Those shadow accounts would need to be ‘lived in’ to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices — border agents were extremely suspicious.
