There must be so many Republican voters in the closet.
You can only be fixated on the sexual escapades of others through curiosity. That’s how curiosity works with anything. You could just not and go on about your day, that’s that. The world keeps spinning and nothing has changed. But then along comes curiosity…
Now you’re talking. Let’s make it $10!

God, it’s great to be a man.
No, but I do have to ask a random ITC group for access to direct query the data, even though I’m the one responsible for the DBs, put the data in there, and they have nfi idea what any of it is.
Spoiler alert, I was denied, but am still allowed to query the data off into CSV to store locally or onto SP so it can then be PowerQueried into Excel or BI…because to them, this is more secure than the Oracle add-on for MS…
Also they’re running the SDK off like Java 5 or something. A third-party version of it…
I wake up to a bleeding nose every workday.
Speak for yourself, my work still operates off local SQL databases set up 22 years ago. On this day it is I who gets to laugh.
I got $5 he can do it with the beer.
Financially protects her employer. The police can bust someone, but it won’t get the money back. So it works two-fold. Makes trying to rip people off seem less enticing because the risks of being caught are higher than what the government can handle, this in turn also reduces financial risks for her employer too. So she’s a sought after security investment that also gets to help everyday people too.
Best way to describe it, “whitehat”. Maybe grey t times… Something cybersec actually pays well for now where it used to just be a good ethics hobby.
They were in an X-Files episode where someone was robbed/killed for them. S6E10, “Tithonus”. But, yeah, fad didn’t last long because they quickly became a bit of a “what a loser” item, even for us that were kids at the time.
Mostly fraud, scamming, identity theft, credit theft, etc. Her employer’s industry can be a breeding ground for it, so she goes hunting for them. It protects them and the government relies on the collaboration.
But there’s big responsibility. Unfortunately it seems a lot of people drag their family and friends into things by lying or scamming them too, trying to set them up as a scapegoat if they are discovered. So a big part of it is making that side of the story evident too before handing things over to the fed. Mother’s and siblings are the most frequent and hey’ll do all these fraudulent things they’re not aware of because their trusted family member with their “legitimate” business said it’s fine, so they don’t question it.
sigh give me the colossal…
My sister does this as a job. Builds big evidence piles and then hands them to federal authorities. They do the drive up and handcuff part, then lawyers do the rest. But if it’s evidence she’s compiled, you can be sure the defence can’t do much else than minimise penalty/jail time.
The best part is she is able to do things the police can’t, then use that information to set up smoking guns that law can use.
It’s about as superhero as someone can get without getting off the computer.
Blocked Shorts in first weeks because it quickly was full of this.
And if anyone wants to discover music, get a scrobbler for a good music network. By design, algorithms pigeonhole. That’s just how math works. You need the tried and true method of community sharing and (most) scrobblers are, essentially, a modern take on “word of mouth”. Music has only ever been best discovered and broadened to listeners when recommended from other explorers.
Certainly increases the chances for strokes.
I like my PC being my PC. The more it does things I don’t ask of it or tell it to do, the more I will seek alternatives.
One of the most frustrating parts of MS products these days is that you’re just along for the ride. And unlike Apple which is just the same, MS has far less intuitive behaviour or method. I would say their products are for beginners or those not tech literate, but the failure rate and amount of complex troubleshooting required for MS products and environments are easily the most challenging and frequent. It does not help that Windows Update constantly introduces new issues to the OS and other software while undoing any previous workarounds.
That company doesn’t get to touch my stuff anymore. It’s like trusting your car to a four year old.
Since this is just a picture with a “scientists” statement, which are usually false facts …
Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer.

I’ve never bothered because less than 1% of my time I’m looking at the sys UI, let alone the desktop.
They just have parental issues. It’s why they’re all about having an authoritarian dictator and a powerful state. The miss having a mother do everything for them, or they have a deep yearn for the father they never had.
Then a strong figure like Benito stands up and say, “Don’t worry! I am here and I will take care of everything for you. All I need is your unconditional love and you will get mine in return.”

We don’t really get drug and insurance stuff in my country like the US. Product1234, if it can actually be determined, is often some sort of web service that helps by doing something “all in the one place” or some shit.
But as I said, often literally nfi. Like maybe their plan is to have their isolating commercial cause me to go to the effort of Googling them.
I do find US ads funny, though. Its like they’re made by non-humans trying to do humans. Fake children laughter, soft voices, lots of smiles and well-ironed light clothes. Often ends with a slightly slow-mo shot of someone turning to camera and smiling, like that person has anything to do with anything and I know them, a voiceover trying to me like, “Because we’re in this together” or some weird shit.
Like, “Wow. I didn’t know Super United Allied Mega Insurance cared.” sniffle
The paragon of free markets learning about how free markets work.
Exporter: “Why would I pay the tarrifs? I’m competing with prices as it is, I’d run a deficit.”
Importer: “Well why would I pay the tarrifs? I don’t even want the thing.”
Consumer: “Well why would I pay the tarrifs?”
Exporter: “Okay, goodbye. We’re shifting US market funds to elsewhere.”
Elsewhere: Thanks, US! Competitively lower prices and higher quality products."
Most interesting part is all the shipping companies that have just cut out the US due to all the companies bailing. My partners been advised by DHL they’ll do it, but it costs more now because of low traffic and the US buyer has to foot the bill first + the tarrif. But obviously my partner’s company decided they’re not shipping to the US anyway. It’s like a “special order” thing to contact them about.
Impacts the US companies in the industry too since all the best materials for that industry come from Asia. They may be US-based but focusing on international markets instead too, since obviously sales of their products with tariffs on the price will drop sales massively.
No body on earth could’ve seen this coming. Absolutely nobody. Not a single person. No one. The day tarrifs were mentioned, couldn’t have seen this coming from miles away. Absolute shock.
I notice more and more ads just try to be my friend.
They don’t advertise anything about their product, I have nfi what they do. They’re just trying to align with me in the weirdest generic way.
“This is Sam. Sam works hard every day. Sam likes their family. Sam laughs with their friends. Sam enjoys a movie on the couch with their partner. Sam uses Product1234.”
I first noticed this tactic specifically aiming at women. They just show footage of girls doing girl things and the product is there. What does the product do? Why is it worth my money? What makes it better than other ones? Who the fuck knows?
But now that seems to be the same targeting for men just as much, if not more.
Like, this shit is happening and apparently working when it should be making people feel massively patronised and insulted.
Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.
