Hahaha also blue but waaaay more scary!

I think most countries with their own sesame street have slightly different characters. We don’t have big bird, we have the superior Pino.

It’s where Kılıçdaroğlu is from

and “killing the baby”, you mean like later in life to eat?

At least in the Netherlands, the species of dairy cows are focused on dairy. If a bull is born it is raised for about half a year, then slaughtered and most often the meat is exported since calf meat isn’t popular here.

At that point they are basically still babies, or at least the meat is called “calf meat”.

I used ‘reader mode’, or whatever it’s called, on Firefox and that worked well.

Scary times for Argentina

I think to a large extent it’s a case of cognitive dissonance.

Loads of these people have defended Trump for years, supported him despite his obvious lies and grifts and so you kinda have to believe that whatever else he comes up with is also true. If you believe all his previous falsehoods, why not the next?

To admit he’s full of shit means your whole belief system has to change. Trump supporters have lost friends, alienated family, spent their money on him… It’s much easier to keep believing in him than it is to admit you’ve been wrong all this time, cause that would mean having to admit you’ve been taken for a fool this whole time AND it means all your efforts and sacrifices have been for nothing.

Only know him from Party Down but this sounds cool!

That’s great! Glad it’s working out.

One thing made me chuckle though:

with only 4 gigabytes of RAM

Am I just old or is 4GB actually loads of RAM?

Damn, I wouldn’t have recognized him from that photo alone. Fuck cancer, I hope he can enjoy the rest of his life which will hopefully still be many years.

Sounds like a nice setup. I have an old laptop I could potentially use for this.

Thanks, will check it out!

Yeah but you won’t know if it will pay off until many years after studying, so it’s a gamble.

For the majority of cases having a university degree will give you a higher salary, not to mention the value of the experience of going to university as well as the connections you make there (both personally and professionally).

University in the US is just stupidly expensive and the loans have a crazy interest rate.

I’m from the Netherlands where you’ll receive money from the government while studying. You can take a loan on top of it with minimal interest and so it’s basically always worth it if you can afford it and are academically able to.

Bizarre. But the article outlines a lot more vulnerabilities. Seems like every part of this device is poorly secured.

IOActive’s hacking technique exploited glaring security vulnerabilities they found in the shufflers, the researchers say: They bought their own Deckmates for testing from second-hand sellers, one of whom told them a password used for maintenance or repair. They found that this password and others they extracted from the Deckmates’ code were configured in the shuffler with no easy way to change them, suggesting they likely work on almost any Deckmate in the wild. They also found that the most powerful “root" password to control the shuffler—which, like all the Deckmate’s passwords, they declined to publicly reveal—was relatively weak.

This is just ridiculous / hilarious.

Very interesting and depressing article.

A fundamental reason for the lack of clarity over the role sex or drug trafficking plays in the fate of Uruguay’s missing women is that neither prosecutors nor police are looking for the evidence.

So, are the police involved in the trafficking and that’s why they’re not doing anything and withholding information? Or are they just incompetent / underfunded / undertrained?

It’s like they actively don’t want to solve these cases.

Yeah I’m from the Netherlands and I also find it weird. It’s like this weird thing that you read about in history books and yet it exists today. The king sometimes gives people knighthood. They kneel before him and he stands there with a sword and says some words, and then boom you are a knight! It’s wild and something out of fantasy stories.
