yougetuseditafterawhile The thing that bugs me about written Thai is that there are spaces now and then and you would expect them to be at sentence breaks but they seem to be randomly placed throughout the text, almost as if that's whe

Pro tip a friend let me in on: carry a guitar with you. Good if you can play it a little. If you are a man it makes you seem less threatening. People tend to be more open and friendly.

As long as it's something sterile like playing video games it's fine. But as soon as a kid does something with a bit of substance it becomes child endangerment.

The most recent was when my kid did a review of two different multitools. Within five minutes of uploading it YouTube had taken it down due to "potential child endangerment."

It's even in the YouTube algorithm. I've had a couple of videos taken down due to "potential child endangerment". They were videos of me and my kid doing things that are, realistically, safer than riding a bicycle. It&#x

I made the mistake of connecting with an old engineering colleague who has since become a "life coach" and I'm so sick of their life lessons posts and fake positivity but feel like I can't remove them from my network.

That is a more accurate description. Like organized crime forces you to buy its services under threat of violence if you don't, government forces you to pay taxes to fund its services under threat of violence if you don't. One di

A cryptographically secure sequence is used to spread the signal or do frequency hopping. The baseband may not even be encrypted but the signal definitely is.

They may want to analyze the cryptographic comms. Having working electronics might make that easier.

1. The way it usually goes is they don't lie; they just say no when asked to provide ID. 2. It seems like the police officer has to be able to state what crime they suspect has been committed. Standing around looking suspicious is what
