  The bones are fine, but remember to remove the beak first, or so I've been told.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Im here to bring facts this sunday⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I would call them speed bumps for people with bowel issues.

  You know you're not supposed to eat the cob itself, right?

  What other shape would a penguin come in?

  They're typically roughly cuboid, though best approximated with rounded corners, and wrapped in a layer of plastic.

  I might need a snack.

  I think so, they're found in Malaysia aren't they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If this is a typical example, you must get some top quality hatemail. There's nothing quite like being told to digest your own brain to convey the poster's opinion of you.

  I think what they're saying is they got it backwards and left out an important bit.

  Oh go in then, as a treat you can touch it once. But only once! (After that you disolve)

  I'm not sure that subtle nuances like that are going to affect the way the tiger responds to the taunt...

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeasty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, they really had to rise to the occasion here. Some people would have disposed of it irresponsibly, but I guess they're just bread better there, although whoever left it in the sun must have been baked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It tracks the location of a body (or anything else that causes the same sort if interference), but it doesn't identify the person, and as such they can reasonably make the claim that this technology is privacy preserving.

  Of course, as with anything that claims to anonymise data, or preserve privacy, that assertion starts to fall down when you use the resulting data in conjunction with other data sources, even if they too claim to be privacy preserving.

  It might not be windowless; consider midwinter, when a real window will just be a dark rectangle for most of the important parts of the morning and evening. Having a fake window showing somewhere bright and warm could help lift one's spirits if you didn't think about it too much.

  Hmm.
  /me Makes you disappear entirely except for your mouth.

  Promptly get stuck in a boobytrapped express elevator.

  Ok, fair enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Believe it or not...straight to jail.

  I've just spotted your username, I feel sure one of your relations had some sort of run in with the sysops already, and now you're trying to convince people that there can't be server reboots? Suspicious. Very suspicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No need, you just allocate users to servers depending on theie average sleep/wake cycle nd bounce the servers one at a time, when usage is at a minimum. Ever had one if those late night brain's gone blank moments? Now you know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new SSD will literally self destruct if you push the big red button it comes with — Team Group posts video of data destruction in action⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Destroying the encryption key tends to be the only reliable way to put the data beyond use. Physical destruction techniques like the obe in the article have been tried before, and iften leave the data intact, just destroying the driver side of the chips. It's not easy to retrieve the data, but a sufficiently determined and resourced oppinent can do it.

  Obviously, there's no reason not to do both, for added certainty, but if the encryption protocols used in proper FDE are compromised, we have a lot more to worry about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new SSD will literally self destruct if you push the big red button it comes with — Team Group posts video of data destruction in action⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It does seem like it would be simpler and more reliable to use full disk encryption to encrypt the data before it's written, and just destroy the key if you want to nuke the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exhaustion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Once you start 'succeeding' at what you're doing it tends to feel like it takes less energy, and if you start to feel good about it, you'll also tend to feel more energetic, so it forms a self reinforcing loop.

  It won't work like that for everyone. You have to actually be enthused about the idea of succeeding at whatever it is you're doing and not push so hard you burn out regardless of success, but if you can get into that frame of mind, things becone easier.

  Total Recall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the solution to QR code phishing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While there's probably no global solution, personally I use a QR Code reader that doesn't actually use the URL, but just displays it and lets me copy it to the clipboard. That way I can inspect it, and if it doesn't look right, ignore it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coffee time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is painfully true. I want to say something pithy about it, but my brain is filled with cotton wool and sludge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birb⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can't argue with that logic. I always knew those feathered menaces were out to get us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palpable Nonsense!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All right, fine. It's wok fried rice... No, wait, I see where this is going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palpable Nonsense!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite right. It's human fried rice with shrimp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is, humans are astonishingly good at conserving energy when running. We can literally run prey to death by just keeping on going when most animals run out of energy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bottoms up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you're exhausted and feel like you're having a heart attack. It is deeply unfun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bottoms up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you feel like that all the time, you can probably run through walls. I'll keep an eye on the news!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lämp sauce brother⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You've got this, just show her how attracted to her you are, tell her she's your sun and your moon, that she's all you think about, that the world seems dark without her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bottoms up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been there. A word to the wise: never decided that the best way to avoid multiple walks to the kitchen is to fill a mug with espressos and then drink it at your desk. Colours start to make sounds, everything moves too slowly, you feel a sense of impending doom, and your heart makes a spirited attempt to leave your body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think he's sorry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would explain the slightly dazed look...
