Way back when I took the security ++ exam I binged watched this guy

Who got the other half?

I used to just use water.

When in basic they'd give us a little carton of cereal and some milk, but I'm very lactose intolerant.

So instead I sucked a couple mouthfuls of water from my camelbak and spit it into the bowl and eat the cereal that way.

Good response. Love it when peeps own up to their mistskes.

Is this how I find out Dick Cheney is dead??

Why yes it is! :D

All that was done to reduce the psychological impact of the embedded hypnotic suggestion.

Really, it was for your own good…

From what I read a few days ago one of the conditions for US aid under biden was that Ukraine make no strikes on russian soil. When trump pulled all the aid to Ukraine it was a huge blow, but also took the leash off.

After that all they had in their way was developing the actual drones and techniques to make the strikes, as well as planning them.

A woman complimented my haircut in 2015; I will die with this haircut now.

Long ago in a distant land men created a likeness of their goddess in clay. Their cities and culture were destroyed, but the clay figurines remained.

You take fall damage if you fall from somewhere high.

Continuing resolution. Basically if they can’t make a new budget the old one gets used.

Blacksmithing. Just don’t really have the room in the backyard.

What a glorious fucking dumpster fire.

The spores are legal to buy online for study.

Completely unrelated, but used coffee grounds make for a decent mushroom grow medium.

Like if you wanted to grow some button mushrooms.

That's my read as well. I really liked the first one and if I can make this dick feel like he lost at the same time...

As a teenager in this era this sort of thing was awful especially when downloading certain ahhhhh videos…

There was a program I found that really helped called NetAnt.

You see back then you could download a small file quickly, but for larger files the distant server would throttle your connection so you wouldn’t hog all their bandwidth. Enter NetAnt.

NetAnt would send several different ‘ants’ to the server and request different parts of the same file. Then it would download it in chunks and create a file when it was done. You could also queue up different urls to pull from, you just had to know the file structure of the websites content and back then that was rarely obscured and was often logical and predictable. This ended being one of my first applications of my C++ classes to solve a problem I had. I made a little program that generated strings of urls based on what I thought the file structure was and then I dumped a thousand file requests into NetAnt to download while I was in school.

It worked! And I ended up with gigs and gigs of full porn videos from one of the nastiest websites back then by scraping downloads from the sample pages of 30 second clips.

I don’t think I actually watched much of it, the acquisition was the important part.

A is for auroch

I looked it up, you’re correct on all counts but HWY 55 is also a burger place. They use little robot waiters to bring food to tables apparently.

We took our flag down in 2016 and again in 2024. A guy on our street flies his upside down which is, I think, braver.

Love that I am getting my breaking news through the filter of memes, it really takes the edge off the madness.
