I'm like 90% sure this isn't the crowd control the article is about. Dropout has a show called crowd control, the wiki you linked is for a show on Nat Geo like 12 years ago.

Orphaned domains like this are interesting, there was a defcon talk, I think, where the presenter bought a bunch of blacklisted orphaned domains just to see if anything would try and connect to them. They got hit with so many botnet clients trying to phone home.

Open sourcing the falcon 9 software would almost definitely be a violation of ITAR.... On second thought it would be fun to see him go to prison.

Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'
I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.

Piracy has never been theft, it has always been and still remain copyright infringement. That being said go ahead and pirate, I'm not your dad.

Earlyish forums on the web were sometimes a bit anal about proper grammar. I remember posting on a Cedar Point (a large amusement park in Ohio) fan forum back in the late 90s early 00s and written into the terms of service was an agreement to use proper grammar and punctuation.

He has a Nixon tattoo, you don't idolize another man that much without at least thinking about fucking them, so it's likely he has an account.

Anon experiences German humor
I used to work with a couple Czech dudes. One day my coworkers and I were badgering the one dude to tell us a Czech joke. He was pretty reluctant because he said he could only really think of one joke but wasn't sure it would translate well. When he finally told us the joke he got us with this masterpiece.
Two balloons are floating along, one says to the other and hey look a cactus.
All of us were confused by this, he told us it was much funnier in Czech because balloon and cactus sound similar so it's a pun. So we had him tell us the joke untranslated in Czech and balloon and cactus sound nothing alike.
I'm still not sure if this dude was fucking with us.

The real fucked up part of this is Ohioans just voted to codify abortion and reproductive rights into the state constitution. This is just some assholes trying to find ways around that amendment.

Also I'm pretty sure there's already law on the books barring Planned Parenthood from using funds given to them by the federal government on abortion services so taxpayers already aren't funding abortions from them.
