I love when people call my long hair pretty. Bonus points of you follow it up by complimenting my beard

We always just called it "very hard description language"

No kidding, I wanna see what batshit "logic" it takes to come to that conclusion

That's kinda underselling it lol, he (and his massive audience) actively campaigns and phone banks for lots of leftist candidates. Fox News can't stop talking about him, they're terrified (and probably incredibly aroused) by him.

Some of the Ace's that I go to have a popcorn machine that you can just grab free popcorn out of, so you're not far off with the third space thing. Every time I'm in there I learn something new from one of the 70-year-old retirees that only have a job there to get out of the house, and desperately want to share their DIY home improvement knowledge. Last time I went an employee ended up pulling out his phone and showing me progress pics of his bathroom renno lol

You guys hiring? How's your benefits package?

Why would I be? The calorie density of spices like oregano are incomparable to that of oil.

Nah, hackthebox and many other red team simulation type sites have strict rules of engagement. You're there to solve a puzzle as defined by hackthebox, not get around the puzzle by hacking hackthebox.

I see this sentiment a lot. "Why aren't Americans doing anything? Why aren't leftist militias rising up to take back the capital? Etc. Etc. Etc."

First of all, asking "why aren't Americans doing anything" is a highly unaware question. We are doing things, but they aren't going to give any airtime to the protests, marches, boycotts, and legal efforts taking place, because the media is now firmly on the side of those with power, not the common people.

Second of all, it's pretty heartless of you to just casually ask us to "exercise the second amendment", because when you ask that, you're asking for at least some of us to die. Put yourselves in our shoes, and be honest - if you were in our position, would it be so easy and casual to just pick up a gun and join a violent revolution? Would you be willing to risk death in that situation? Personally, I'm not a soldier, I've never had an interest in guns, I'd be less than useless in that capacity. So I'm looking at other things we can do before escalating to that.

I get that everyone's scared because the nation with the most powerful military on earth is falling into fascism. That's terrifying to most Americans as well, and I think a lot of us are still frozen with that fear. I understand and agree that this problem is on Americans to fix. But I hope the rest of the world will be willing to help when we call on them, instead of just sitting idly by wondering when that magical second amendment is gonna kick in.

my hard drive overheated

So, this means they either have a local copy on disk of whatever database they're querying, or they're dumping a remote db to disk at some point before/during/after their query, right?

Either way, I have just one question - why?

Edit: found the thread with a more in-depth explanation elsewhere in the thread: https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1900593377370087648#m

So yeah, she's apparently toting around an external hard drive with a copy of the "multiple terabytes" large US spending database, running queries against it, then dumping the 60k-row result set to CSV for further processing.

I'm still confused at what point the external drive overheats, even if she is doing all this in a "hot humid" hotel room that she can't run any fans I guess because her kids were asleep?

But like, all of that just adds more questions, and doesn't really answer the first one - why?

I don’t get why, if these people hate Reddit so much and they want the IPO to fail, why are they still using the platform?

Could be several reasons:

• they're addicted
• they don't know any alternatives
• they still like using the platform, they just disagree with the financial/executive decisions being made
• the alternatives don't have equivalent communities
• their communities don't want to move to an alternative
• they like the alternatives even less than Reddit

Reminds me of this meme

The one I've always liked is "the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is... about a billion dollars"

Do you think the orange douchewipe wants the focus on his ear?

I mean, yeah, I kinda do. I expected him to milk the assassination attempt for all it's worth, and I don't think that makes me a conspiracy theorist.

Yeah honestly this sign just screams "I don't understand my audience". Like, you're selling nerdy swords to nerds in a store that seemingly caters to nerd stuff - of course the nerds interested in your products are gonna do nerdy stuff with it.

The best part is they don't understand the cost of that retraining. The non-engineer marketing types in my field suggest AI as a potential solution to any technical problem they possibly can. One of the product owners who's more technically inclined finally had enough during a recent meeting and straight up to told those guys "AI is the least efficient way to solve any technical problem, and should only be considered if everything else has failed". I wanted to shake his hand right then and there.

While Recall may have sounded great on paper and on work-related PCs,

Ah yes, all those IT people were probably thrilled with the prospect of Microsoft getting sent constant screenshots of their employees' machines, with all those company secrets, sensitive information, and everything

Exploring is supposed to be a reward in itself

Oh yes, exploring 6 levels of nested menus is incredibly rewarding

"Please stop asking questions, for both your safety and mine"

Joshua Weissman. He started out super chill, most of his recipes were pretty approachable, the editing wasn't over the top, the b-roll stuff at the end was tasteful.

Now it's like he's catering to a whole different crowd. The editing is over the top and jammed with memes, he's more idk, psychotic isn't quite the right word, but it's way less chill, he's constantly saying stuff like "if you don't use XYZ ingredient then what are you even making this recipe for?", his recipes are more over the top, and he has a much more elitist opinion of himself and his food. The change happened so quickly too, it was kind of shocking.
