I'm not going to ask how the f..k this got out, but I, for one, would not like to FA with the hacker trans community.

I was always curious about how to make a Molotov cocktail. Who knew that the knowledge would come to me via my favorite cybersecurity podcast?!🤣

Hi @leolaporte.me

How should we "label" machine-generated speech?

This reminds me of the requirement that electric cars make sounds or even Harley-Davidson's efforts to add sound to electric motorcycles.

I've loved this song for years, too!

I've always heard it was Groucho Marx that said "I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member"

And yet:
* This is a phenomenal group of people
* Only one of them actually consented to my inclusion 🤣

Thanks for building such a great list of WordPress people, @shawnhooper.ca!

Maybe there's a compromise: I stick with Product, AND I get the outfit!

Even I did a double take. And I know I don't have that costume 😂
