Is this mold?

Could be fungal discoloration from being eaten by bugs. Might look for worm or bug damage in/around that dark spot to confirm. Wood can also turn that color when in contact with metal for a long time, but I'm pretty sure that's fungus. Should be fine to use as a walking stick as long as it's not soft and spongey at that spot.

I pretty much only buy indie games at this point. Any game made by a company that benefits a stock ticker? You best believe I'm... (checks what comm I'm in) ..Acquiring it. Lol

Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users 🤷‍♂️ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

Yeah, she's in the fucking army dude. She also is assigned a very important detail and has her own career to think about. If she chose to press charges I'm sure every MAGAt in her chain of command would try their best to fuck her over. The military is just as political as any other part of the government which makes this seem like self preservation on her part.

Remember, friend, no one in this world gives a fuck about you, as much as you do.

ETA: Dr. Bob has pointed out that she is a civilian employee and not a soldier. I'm sure she has to deal with similar political machinations as the service members she works with but still an important distinction.

If you want to buy a little insurance for your self look into getting a seed box. Then you can download from the seed box with a VPN over sftp. I would think that would be pretty hard to determine what you're doing but I don't know enough about it to speak confidently one way or the other.
