I don’t see the office as a place for work anymore. It’s like this place where work-related people come to hang out with me and other random things distract me. It’s like going to an expo where everyone and everything is on display, but apart from the live demonstrations, it’s just for show.

Some managers, I swear going into the office is just for them. They barely get anything done but they get to hang out with their “friends”.

My work from home is great because I can get everything I needed done by like 1:00pm and I’m done. That collective four hours of total shit, socialising, meetings, coffee walks, etc. I get back in my life to do what I want to do with it. I could work more or output as much as everyone in the office today and go play games…

Sauropods are kind of from everywhere but mostly Asia and North America (as long as what Jurassic World Evolutions III has taught me is accurate). I’m wondering if there’d even had been tornados in those areas back then.

I know NA’s Rockies weren’t formed until like 50–60M years ago or so (same for most of today’s ranges), and there were no polar ice caps as Pangea was splitting up, so air coming down “Canada” wouldn’t have been frigid cold at all. I mean, they’re cold-blooded reptiles with legs, but there’s plenty found in Canada, even Antqrctica. So all those dinos from NA wouldn’t have had tornados. The weather was probably very lush, warm, and chill, especially with all the inland shallow seas.

Would really need to check a map for the rest of them around the world in their eras, but I’m lazy. It’d be pretty easy to guess.

Edit: lol, Seropods… Sauropods* You can tell my knowledge on the Dino part here really is from JWE and that’s about it.

Americans may find it hard to comprehend but much of the world now sees China more positively than the US. Has their opinion of China changed, though? No.

Oooh, RAM, not Ram. I was wondering why anyone would want to talk about American pickup prices.

Feeds.

I have this happen all the time because I have a separate account for my card. It’s so I stay aware of how often I’m transferring into it to pay for things. If I’m transferring another $100, it’s because I’ve gone through the last $100 whether I realised it or not.

Works great until it works too well and the card gets declined because I don’t realise how much I’ve spent earlier that day.

It’s honestly more embarassing when the cashier is a highschool kid and they’re probably thinking, “God, I hope I’m not this bum in ten years…”

Dunno. Was just a big open text dataset. All with hire dates. It’s possible it was archival which explains the telnetting being so easy, but every col was filled with plenty of young DOBs.

In my friends defence, this was performed by receiving the instructions from their US friend in their IRC “hacker clan” who discovered the hack. My friend doubted it but then got in and very quickly left. Despite being performed at their university’s lab on their network, the friend still got a visit from federal officers from their country who said, quote, “You’re not in trouble, but the path you’re on leads to a bad life.”

Friend now works in cyberfraud. Whatever whitehatting for a living is called these days… The same simple slip ups, routes, and tricks leading to breaching have not changed, just the protocols in which they’re done with.

Haha. As I read this…

The dude has more publicly documented lies than days he has

What?! In office?!

been on the earth.

Oh. Yes. Yes, that’s true.

A “friend” of mine got 200,000 NASA employees data including SSNs, pay accounts, etc. from an entirely unguarded Telnet door in 2002.

You’d be surprised how many doors there are the larger a building gets that never bothers to upgrade security until an incident happens.

Pretty sure it was very much a “We forgot we even had that door still” situation.

It’s convincing to the creator. Any recipient that finds it convincing would be like, “What?! But I’m already voting for him.”

Oof. That’s gonna be $34 Christ bucks.

It’s this and many other things that have led me to believe an alternate canon where Superman is just a real dummy.

Krypton didn’t blow up, his parents just did a Joe Dirt on him. Dumbass probably moved one of their moons as well so they just left him on the church doorstep called Earth.

Oh, shit. They’re in your house!

Seems to be the standard.

Public statement: “AI is coming!”

Redaction statement: “We heard you!”

Clearly, they were trying it on for size; see if the shit will stick. It’s that or they don’t use the internet or read news about it

The main reason would be that an LLM is free and in your pocket. It’s just some people don’t understand how loud those two alarm bells are when it comes to mental health.

If you’re like me, death is a win. The ultimate fail would be immortality, where you can fail at everything else and then can’t even fulfill the one thing nature expected of you.

Behold! The olive spork…

Oh, great, they’ve made multiple accounts now so it’s going to be whack-a-mole blocking this user.

They’re pretty shit at hauling loads. Awful beds and low tonnage compared to other options. American pickups are what you get if you don’t know what you’re doing. They’re definitely showbag vehicles.
