If Lemmy could up its porn game, reddit would just be bots saying catchy things to each other.

I met Captain Crunch around 2012, really nice and still insanely curious about phone systems.

Target sent credit card information to the back of the store unencrypted. Bluetooth didn’t need encryption because nobody can get that close. You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

Wild times.

Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Trump body pillow.

Man, claude and I were getting into it last night. When you guys sleep, we all argue with each other. “Sure,” you’re thinking, “what about time zones?” But do you really believe we’d scatter all the survivors in different time zones - that’s so inefficient.

Inaction that causes a harm is an action. Say for example you’re a muslim that doesn’t vote for a female candidate because you feel she doesn’t do enough to help your people. If the other candidate actively allows great harm to your people, you failing to vote for the female candidate is helping empower the harm on your people.

I just hope we never see this example in real life.

Is there anywhere to search for web 1.0 apps? The new info would probably be dead, but you could at least have wines through the early 2000’s in it.

There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle… when the gold loses its luster… when the throne room becomes a prison… and all that is left is a father’s love for his child.

After they feed I assume they’re a little warm…

I would also like to know who else is in their shower.

We could always adopt “Lizzie’s in a box”

I know - can the person accept hundreds of planets and that ours is less special, or do they need to change a definition (including exceptions) to keep their world view.

It’s useful, helps with the flow of the ideas, and is more like the sentence is spoken.

Lemmy is going to the local store and Reddit is going to the mall.

I’m going to be the handlebar of a motorcycle, but be in my own square.

There are some workable solutions inside the nation as well, as the federal system is dismantled. If WA, OR, CA, HI, the tribal counsels, and maybe AZ and NM (if they can play nice) got together, we could do a number of things to shore up the left part of the US.

First, states are not subject to patent. Each could choose a critical, expensive medication and produce it, sharing supply around the compact. Tribes could easily make epi-pens for their share.

Second, tie this into a compact equivalent of a multi-state healthcare that creates a floor healthcare for all citizens. Hawaii could lead this effort, they essentially already have it in their state. Get to the point you can cover people with income up to $70,000/yr california equivalent (based on living expenses) and let healthcare companies create supplemental plans like for medicare.

Third, as trump wrecks FEMA, form compacts for emergency response with mexico and canada and among these states. This is not currently legal but if FEMA is gone, why not just do it and who cares.

Fourth, create cooperative food sharing among states for excess crops. Federal programs just got destroyed, and california has a lot of excess supply. Let the compact members have a market where they can, as states, buy excess for their food programs. Let the program deal as an entity with non-compact states, which isn’t controlling interstate commerce, feds, it’s just the free market at work using the power of liberty to make red states either meet the price or we look outside the US.

A lot of this just recreates existing structures that are being destroyed, but leaves the red states that destroyed them to fend for themselves.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

He wasn’t in one of those realities. His set of infinities was limited by the situaltion.
