$8 for a beer in a lot of places these days, $15+ for a cocktail. Another reason the bar scene in expensive cities is pointless. In small towns, a beer can be as cheap as $2 or free if the beverage vendor rep is passing out samples (ie who

I have nearly life-long chronic major depression that can’t be cured with socialization, sex, money, sleep, diet, exercise or various forms of therapy. I’ll take a random stab that it is mostly genetic and partly by having had a tyrannical,

The crybully is similar but he rotates through all three phases of the Karpman Drama Triangle often in order to play hero. My hypothesis is many sociopathic leaders of different stripes use/d similar tactics to hit people’s emotions an

Updating James Madison: If everyone were honest, neither greedy nor malicious, did pay attention, were competent, including securing their apps, and didn’t have either fires, floods or roads, no regulation or government would be necessary.

Use 4096 for personal email or anything important. Other uses maybe fine with 2048. Slighly overkill is better than insufficiently expensive ASIC pwned.

Awesome news. Also, instead of ssh private keys, I use monkeysphere which stores them in gpg instead. With git and ssh scripts, it’s easy to make it automatically ask for your psssphrase on first use.

Yup. It’s probably a licensing deal with the conservator or some such to give a little coin back to investors/debt-holders. The remaining B&M I’ve encountered basically just sell mobiles, junk like toys, accessories and cables. May

Daayam. That’s awesome! Hopefully they rename it RatShack and sell actual radios and kits through what’s left of it. Also, it would be cool if there were IoT, electronics, μctrlr interfacing kit subscriptions for academic-level learning thr

Yup. They often claim you’re “malicious” to cover their incompetent butts. This is why reporting should be: - end-to-end encrypted with a brand new, limited-time GPG key - use a disposable email service - make up an alias - send from public

Also, a lot of companies/orgs deny vulnerabilities exist or even “shoot the messenger.” Reporting is often an inconsistent, chaotic gamble, which pushes more people to either not report the issue, give up or go black hat to monetize th

Magnifying gossip is the issue. It’s almost as if we need a few thousand people or AI with really good domain knowlege and common sense whom can somehow handle moderating the onslaught of conspiracy theories, rumors and general BS. Seems ve
