Why Stop at a Back Door?

How about porch lights to aid the dark web and a welcome mat for friends such as your local retailers?

How common is this?

It seems like any object with some rotation perpendicular to its orbit would slowly spin up. More explanation of the YORP effect would have been helpful, especially why it prefers to spin an object up rather than down. I infer that the time in sunlight makes the sunset side of the asteroid hotter than the sunrise side so more heat energy is radiated.

Do they have any rare books anymore?

With oversight like that a full audit and inventory are in order. Is there even any copper wire left in the building?

Formerly habitable planets

might be found by checking for the presence of plastic. These can be removed from the list.

It's just fear of missing out

Much of the world is moving to Arm, even Macintosh. Best not to look totally inept and behind the times.

Be Nice!

Buying puts or short selling would be unsportsmanlike like.

December 24

What Year or decade?

Gosh I wish I had one, and the old games to play on it. Oh wait, I have an emulator and an original which comes out of the box every few years. What was the $399 for again?

Like swing wings on an aircraft

Is it a fighter or a bomber? Well it's both but badly, requiring loads of extra maintenance due to focused stresses.

Now what could go wrong with repeatedly stressing a section of screen? And who wants a real keyboard anyway when it can stand up like a shoji screen?

Uh yes we accept cash,

but you need three forms of identification and a credit check.

Backed by the full faith and credit

of crypto exchange insurance. No one has ever lost a single... Oh never mind

Toll Bike Lanes

Got to love Urban Planning it's kind of like Harry Potter where the plans never work, and like magic the bad guys get to skim from the top. Watch for a public private partnership to construct bike lanes in exchange for tolls. Got to monetize the data some how.

Whre's the part

where Russia gets half of Poland?

I wonder...

Does corporate care what workers think of the Help Desk? Does yours have the patience of a 16 year old and has your company set up a method to show home bound workers how to accomplish a task rather than instructing them to click, drag and check options?

Use it up,

Wear it out, make it do or do without. As a fine old piece of equipment, I wonder if he was getting strong doses of x-ray each morning as well. Off to have more wine from grandma's pewter goblets. Waste not want not.

Good enough for me

The same attack would work at my house and expose my mother's house as well.

So how does that Deep State stuff work anyway?

computers will be used for low-priority work

Well at least they can't drink.

Next Time!!

You might get a slap on the wrist, so stop leaving evidence.

Just Skynet

opening its eyes. Nothing to worry about here. Take a free doorbell on your way out please.

You get what you pay for

If you pay them double, they will leave you alone for two years. If you pay them ten times what they ask, you will be forever free of ransomware. Invest wisely.

17-year-old "mastermind"

We are just lucky that he didn't wait until he was 18. Think of the trouble an adult mind could have wreaked on Twitter.

I'm so glad

we have a system of medical freedom here in the good old USA. I speak for all Americans in our gratitude for not living in a socialist hell such as Norway or Sweden. The free market will adjust and coffin production will create new millionaires supporting generations to come. Freedom is glorious.

LSoT

Just another outrage. There will be another tomorrow. Pay no attention to the Lying Sack of Trump babbling at the podium and his dismantling of the necessary structures of government.

Thankfully people still Believe

that bits and bytes are real money if stored in the right server. Enough people and other servers believe the bits in my credit union are good enough to cancel out my debts from time to time.

You need more believers for faith to work its magic and a priest with at least some knowledge of arcane arts to generate "real" money of the likes of Bitcoin.

Time to Panic

I tell my wife I'm off lifting weights followed by some cardio when I go to the pub. If she finds out where I've been and where I go afterwards I'm done for.

I'm very worried

Combined with a temporal transceiver the outcome of the war could still be in doubt. Pray that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Like Castle Anthrax

Can't I just have a little excitement?

No! It's too exciting.

It is in base 3 for obvious reasons

Convert to base 10 and you get 5 years which is well within the realm of possibility.

Sorry I can't be with you,

I have to rearrange my sock drawer. It's not that other thing honey, for sure.

Build that Force Field!

Who's gonna pay for it? .... Nyx's gonna pay for it!

Who's gonna pay for it? ... Nyx's gonna pay for it, whether they know it or not!

University of Hawaii

New rules sent to the professors today state that if classes which begin in person but convert to online due to an outbreak, can result in the deportation of foreign students.

delivered a killer blow to real-world threat actors

Is that why my neighbor kid up and died?

Digging won't help

Try using a larger near-infrared telescope array instead. But if you insist on digging, construct a neutrino detector in that not quite black hole you're making.

Most all tests are successful

if you collect data. The question is if the test subject is successful.

Too Bad that

Linux doesn't come with any security built in. I'm waiting with bait like breath for the opportunity to try such well regarded software on this Manjaro box.

explosions of rage, paranoia and violence

I'm prone to all of those things and yet I don't believe in the 5G conspiracy. There must be another level of stupidity at work here.
