TIL, NIST sells cigs (for science).

Oh man, the sudden influx of nukes experts is gonna be lit.

For the record, how flammable must a mattress be?

Or IOW, if this valuation is right, Apple's top-end bug-bounty for top-tier security research, despite their popular image as being generous, is still about an order of magnitude below than the offensive market

I read this in Jordan B. Peterson™️ voice and I hate myself for it

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Put a VOC filter on those fans and, baby, you got a PAPR suit!

Oof, LeMay is a choice for a call out.

Except the wide shot shows a much smaller flag, and you know shit is rolling.

WHAT ARE THE CHARGES? EATING A SANDWICH? A SUCCULENT SUBWAY SANDWICH!?

Omg

It’s the 45+ years of messaging that government is wasteful and inefficient (beyond that typical of any large organization) that gets me. Everyone just accepts it as axiomatic now.

Suicide of a super power.

Movies you’ve watched more than 6 times, using only Gifs.

Who the fuck is Riley Gaines?

lol… of course, the 2 examples of Google whacks given aren’t actually valid. 👨‍🍳👌

I remember there being a sort of meta game of trying to find two word phrases that resulted in exactly one result.

Took me a few stages to get warmed up, but was finally able to put together a decent run by the last stage. #IDPA #practicalshooting #shooting

Who debugs the debugger?

“Sure, we’re building the panopticon, but we don’t have to make it, like, a political thing.”

The idea that you can just “teach computer science” and be apolitical is a beautiful dream that expired in the 2000s, at the latest. Computer science has re-organized every facet of our society: it is inherently political. Instead of taking this idea seriously, we ran from it. Now we live in hell.

I definitely feel safer now.

Excited for my kids to be nostalgic for 2010s era 80s nostalgia 💀

Actually, strike that. We should never forget we were fully willing to send men and boys to fight and die in order to preserve something as evil as slavery so long as it kept the rich and powerful, rich and powerful.

The confederacy lasted 4 years. I’ve had underwear longer than that. Where’s Underpants Heritage month?
