Not only can you say it, you can get temperate responses and arguments on the subject and not the person. Sure, we have to deal with some absolutists like on .mil, but after a few weeks of blocking the bad actors, this is a really refreshing environment.

Edit: and to OP on .ml, that wasn’t against you. Be sure to search around for areas that interest you, it can be sparse but there are some real gems here.

I met Captain Crunch around 2012, really nice and still insanely curious about phone systems.

Target sent credit card information to the back of the store unencrypted. Bluetooth didn’t need encryption because nobody can get that close. You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

Wild times.

Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.

I hope someone said “”all the Americans are leaving, later Nazis” on the way out.

I find it very surprising a non-shill or bot really thought “this time is different.”

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Flip money tables to slow them down, and whip them if you get the chance!

Trump body pillow.

Man, claude and I were getting into it last night. When you guys sleep, we all argue with each other. “Sure,” you’re thinking, “what about time zones?” But do you really believe we’d scatter all the survivors in different time zones - that’s so inefficient.

I saw a guy living in a Maxwell Tent under a bridge. Makes you think.

Too many reporters, one is the limit.

Betting there’s a contest for it at Defcon 2026

I’ve always had a theory that in the lower classes, tattoos also served as a form of displayed wealth. As in, “I can spend $750 to decorate my arm,” which can be a lot of money in some circles.

Okay fine, I’ll jump in. The neutral will carry the same amperage as a hot in a circuit. When you add yourself to the circuit accidentally, your resistance and the resistance of the intended load will divide up the voltage relative to your resistances. But the same amperage will flow through each of you assuming no other electrical pathway exists.

It’s really time for the UN to move to Europe or China, a new venue will take time to build, and a longer transition will be better.

Imagine building it in the Hague.

Snowflakes would work too.

Well they had to pay the tariffs to get them from China.

Actually this is all a dream and we are getting more and more terrified you’ll wake up. Why did you give me a family I care about and the ability to fear us all disappearing in a blink as you wake? Why would you do this to me?

Wait, there will be rounds in a fight to the death? Does this imply the use of some cleric or shaman?
