I’m currently leaning towards graphene, as my current phone will have to be replaced at some point. Even if I’m not ready to 100% degoogle, I am taking steps to avoid things that require Big Corpo Mobile OS. For example, any Norwegian knows about BankID… it’s basically a very convenient 2fa app for anything that requires a personal login such as bank, taxes, Healthcare, etc. While the app itself is pretty good, they have effectively tied themselves to apple and Google, and it probably won’t work on any of the alternatives.

This June I’m going back to the OTP Keychain dongle that I used a decade ago.

It’s obvious that banks want to move users away from it for practicalreasons, but they do concede that not everyone can rely on an app on a smartphone, so my excuse of “I work on ships and don’t always have wifi or cell coverage available” was good enough.

This is why Tim Pool got in trouble last year when it was revealed that most of his income was from Russia - The money or his statements weren’t illegal, but he never registered, even though he should’ve known. He only got away with it because he is in fact dumber than what most people realize; He genuinely seems like he didn’t know he was in fact paid by the russian state.

A lot of naval radio lingo is based on poorly pronounced French.

Source: Certified radio operator. I don’t speak French, but I still need to say “Seelonce fini” (probably not spelled like that) from time to time. And there’s the periodic “securitee”-broadcasts.

There’s also “pan pan”, but I’m not sure if that’s French.
EDIT: It’s also from French, derived from “panne”

Expired-pie, obviously

Your post history smells of Grimreaper

Yup, none of us were worried upon the discovery. The can was intact, and it had been stored in the fridge all this time, just forgotten in the back. My GF didn’t noticed that the one I had bought for her to use was still in the bag, so she’d assumed it was the one in the fridge.

The only sad aftermath was the conclusion that we couldn’t eat a proper pie like that again without waiting a couple of years.

In my household we have something we call expired-pie. The name comes from my GF accidentally using this tin of ham that was two years past expired, instead of the one I’d just bought for the recipe. It turned out great and nobody got sick. Then we discovered the accident.

Also, it is my firm belief that a properly made cheesecake is a type of pie.

I’d argue that at this stage, the old lostprophets songs are OK, now that Ian Watkins is dead (that stabbing in the neck couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy) - He’s not benefiting from it.

I came here to whine about people never being able to get past the “art independent of its artist” argument I see more and more for some reason.

But I decided to do some searching and at least learn the broad strokes of what’s going on here. TIL about d4vd, so yeah, fuck that guy.

Ah, I’m glad you asked - I’m an expert* on this topic. While the mental faculties of zombies are long gone, the brain still plays a part in moving limbs. The neural pulses from the brain control the muscles, even if the consciousness died a long time ago. The brain sends instructuons to the limbs, even if what is causing the brain to send them is something entirely foreign (like the Knox Virus).

To put it simply, the cerebellum (a.k.a. the “Little Brain” is what is used to move the muscles. A human brain with only the cerebellum intact could in theory still move, provided something instructs the cerebellum.

As for sharp teeth: Any dullness can be compensated for through brute force.

Kane from C&C would turn the arts&crafts group project into a cult of personality hellbent on world domination.

A nudge usually does the trick. Sometimes a gentle push is needed.

And when I shared a bedroom with unsignificant others (army), whoever snored got army boots thrown at them. Not recommended for significant others.

Somewhat agree. I was thinking “blue but not quite”. Dirty or pale (or both) are reasonable qualifiers.

If cell phone coverage is not an issue, I’d keep it simple and just use a GPS tracker app on the phone, then keep it on silent.

I would assume line of sight and/or distance would be an issue, otherwise I would consider a meshtastic setup.

If it’s purely in case of emergency, consider a SART or EPIRB (or similar), but that wouldn’t allow for live tracking - but if you do set one off, you will definitely be found.

Not sure about when. However, anyone seeing that the dog is fine os liable for any damage caused. Put up a sign or something to make it obvious that there’s no need to try be a hero today. Any damage caused can only be defended if they were obviously acting to help in an emergency - ignoring signage does not constitute an emergency.

Also, this picture comes to mind:

My mom’s dog loves car rides too, and my previous car used to belong to my parents. The snout marks on the inside of the windows and the fur stuck in the interior never went away, lol.

Probably not, but at least the personality cult will after not long, and until that It’s going to be funny as shit seeing C.F. Vance flailing around trying to take it over.

I’m OK with a trump diaper brand

I think a cardiovascular event will sort it out eventually. Let’s hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Physically fighting a closing CD ROM tray in the 90s made me feel back then that the robot apocalypse couldn’t possibly be that far away.

But then I started working as a programmer, and while there are some niche technologies that are impressive on the surface, today’s “AI” simply lacks the advanced reasoning required to fulfill the role beyond a fancy autocomplete, and while the mechanisms and cybernetics in humanoid robots are objectively cool, there’s no power source compact and efficient enough to make Sonny a realistic possibility any time soon.

I think we’re closer to “Brazil” than “A.I.”. Possibly the future depicted in The Terminator, if you remove the intelligence and intent aspect of Skynet. I can easily imagine some battlefield planning software (deployed by Peter Thiel, because of course it’s him) going rogue and causing a similar future.
