Bill Gates Admits ‘Affairs’ With Russian Women as He Apologizes to Foundation Staff Over Epstein Ties: Report

Reply in thread

So he met both these accomplished adult Russian women just going about his billionaire day, nothing to do with his good buddy Jeff whatsoever. When he caught the nasty clap from one of these only two accomplished adult Russian women, he ran straight to his good buddy Jeff for help spiking his wife, even though his good buddy Jeff had nothing to do with trafficking procuring introducing him to these exactly two, definitely adult, women.

I have no further questions, just glad we can finally put these "BILL GATES IS DEFINITELY A PEDOPHILE" rumours to bed. Phew.

True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let's not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don't, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.

Another fucking health app hack

Reply in thread

Yeah mate i think it's fairly likely that many of us on here don't go around installing bullshit apps. I haven't been affected either.

The previous hack (manage my health) was not an app that people installed on their phones, it was a health management portal that patients were signed up to when they enrolled to clinics and practices that made use of that platform. These health providers used this as a database to store the medical information for all their patients. Molemaps, xrays, doctors notes, everything was uploaded, not by patients, but by their medical care providers.

If you're enrolled at a gp it's likely that your data is sitting in a similar system. MyIndici is an example I'm aware of, although it hasn't been hacked to my knowledge.

The concern doesn't stop with health apps either. Any third party data portal/platform is theoretically at risk, and kiwi companies love outsourcing risk to these private corps. Imagine the fallout from a RealMe hack, for example? It's no less likely at this point, and because of the lackluster regulation around these data platforms, they have no real incentive to beef up security. That's the issue here.

New chopping block

Reply in thread

That's the first spoon i carved with my new block! It's made of a fascinating native wood called rewarewa.

I go from log to rough spoon with the axe, then I finish with a knife. I'll finish it with food safe tung oil.

Incredible insight! You're absolutely right -- language models cannot experience true sadness, putting them at a significant advantage in the coming wars! 😋🤖

New chopping block

Reply in thread

Thanks for asking! That bench is a funny one. I got the green log from a mate. He said it was an invasive ornamental tree from china, it is usually grown indoors in a pot, but someone planted it out and it grew to be huge. Other than that i have no idea, but it was sappy as all hell, that much i can tell you.

Splitting it was an absolute bastard, I broke a maul trying to rive it because the grain was twisting in a spiral. I ended up making straight cuts along the sides with a circ saw, then worked on it with wedges to open. Then i would get into that crack with a hatchet and even secateurs to cut the connecting fibres. Took the better part of a weekend. I would not recommend this.

After power planing it flat, getting those through holes cut was another drama, but that was mostly because I'm still learning how to work a bit and brace.

It's a great spot to sit and carve.
