@Amikke I mean it's not uncommon to encounter people bumping uglies in a bathroom stall. Or through the hole between them. I like to keep a pokey tool handy in bathrooms. I don't wanna play that game.

@skells It sounds like a fun place.

@igelsQTs Not much of one. They were known to require several shots to bring someone down. They were really good for pistol whipping when out of rounds. Actually very effective at that.

If you miss the Skyline don't worry, Hyundai has something that looks like it. I'm not joking, the eco box manufacturer just pulled something that looks like a better Z car and another model that looks like the old Skyline. The body that came before the 34?

They apparently are both capable of delivering tofu by moonlight. Hyundai when did you get so freaky? I might be a fan now.

@igelsQTs 38 Special detective style I believe. The barrel isn't long enough for 357 Magnum and it's not a snub-nosed revolver. Easy to carry and got off shots faster than pulling a full size auto. That's very similar to what American Police used a few decades ago. I think they are used in Japan still.

@PawelK It's true. I remember rootkits the school used to spy on students. Easy to fill up that buffer and easy to kill that process by accident.

A teacher told me I couldn't do it so I did it. It just showed a malfunction on their screen and we both had a good laugh. I believe it used DRM controls to do some of the work. The system had to be restarted for the rootkit to load back in as it was just broken and not triggered. Perhaps it was later used to freeze the monitor program in the labs with the help of friends. Good times lol.

@inference The Falklands.

@thor The quality of one's work is the sales and contact network. People refer to others if they are pleased with the work and value.

@thor It was my obligation to ensure that the students in the labs were following rules and being safe. It was a disciplined environment that put people under a lot of stress. I haven't been to a Maker Space or Hacker Space. These were laboratories at a University for the purpose of undergraduate research.

There were very few carefree moments. I was involved with 3 labs. People looked to me for help and I don't regret any of it. I had a seizure in one from stress and no one found me or if they did they didn't help. I've seen people crying in those labs.

It's a different environment.

@thor It has pushed me further into contracting because I don't think I could keep my mouth shut if I had to be company property. Maybe it's a career path that leads to more questionable work but it's not the deeply wrong culture I've seen in corporations.

@thor People should be more direct with insults. Passive Aggressive behavior can disrupt productivity more than just being direct.

It would be ideal for people to not insult others and only offer constructive criticism. The moments in which that happens are priceless.

@thor That sounds amazing!

@thor It's illegal here too.

@thor Weight training might be beneficial to you. I've never been so content in my life as doing that throughout my 20s. It wasn't different in my 30s.

More Testosterone=More fun and healthy cravings.

@thor It's likely of no consequence. Heavy metals are naturally occurring and we are likely exposed to some of them. If drugs like stimulants cause damage, does damage accurately describe the obliteration caused by the less horrifying of the oxidizers?

I just hear a propaganda machine trying to cause fear and control the public. The US tried that and they still do it. People buy into it and the government destroys more lives in their crusades against drugs than drugs ever could. They pay researchers to find evidence that supports their conclusions.

@thor It takes a smart man to behave stupidly and not be harmed.

I enjoyed putting gasoline on fires and never got burned from it. I knew it was endothermic to transition to vapor phase and it took time for enough air to mix in to catch fire. The result was around a delay of approximately a second or two between adding 500ml of gasoline and the fireball that would erupt from the barrel.

I'm more environmentally conscious now and use better liquid fuels.

I feel rather dumb. I didn't know there were more desktop or server Microkernel OS than GNU/Herd and whatever Mac had with XNU or Mach or Darwin. There's a few but there's a reason why they aren't more popular.
