wireless skimming
The issue has been mostly solved by encryption, but there’s a constant arms race going on between criminals who do this stuff and the payment companies, so an extra layer of protection makes a certain amount of sense (until you beep your card as a gas pump that has been compromised).
Nobody in the thread has mentioned it but the main point is forming a Faraday Cage around your cards so they can’t get skimmed.
Time for my day working on the planet destroyer cannon 9000 as an innocent civilian 
“starting at” $300
How bad is a speeding ticket that anyone would pay this much for a traffic lawyer? Last time I got one it was like $120 but that was like ten years ago so
Anyway beating a speeding ticket yourself is highly achievable in most jurisdictions (this video is for Canada so seek out info specific to your location)
France sends 15 soldiers, Germany 13.
“Ehhh just send a few guys we don’t like.”
They are betting that Trump will read the headline and assume it’s a larger number.
Wikipedia editors at least have rejected ai content afaik, so I think the actions of the foundation and the actions of the site will remain out of sync for the moment.
<- this emote but it’s the Roman Legion
Does WH40k power armor process the wearer’s poop? I can’t imagine a Space Marine digging a cathole. Knowing the universe it probably processes your poop back into edible gruel and feeds it to you. What about regular humans wearing smaller power armor suits, like the Sisters of Battle?
first I’m hearing about this game but it is EXTREMELY my slop
Hate to give the Germans credit but the Autobahn slaps if you own a fast car
Galaxy Class reigns as champion because it’s the only ship with a) functional lighting and b) comfortable seats.
Bought a piece of plastic like the guy in THX 1138. It didn’t make my life better. Perhaps if I buy another?
Sucks about how it went, hopefully this is the first step towards something better!
It’s the ultimate tragedy of wealth imo. Not that I feel particularly bad for rich people, but having your every want catered to can ruins you as a person as surely as being deprived of necessities can. The rich aren’t lizard people, they’re incomplete people, and the American Dream is to position yourself well enough within the imperial extraction machine that you too can afford to let your personhood atrophy.
I’ve always used the n dash - don’t care what is and isn’t grammatically correct, I care about breaking up the cadence of my writing in interesting ways.
It might indeed take effort and work to learn how
A key part of the treatlerite fantasy is that somebody else does this part for you.
Well the vid is clear that despite the trend the enforcement is pretty spotty, and for the high profile censorship that does happen it’s always unclear whether it was done by state censors or preemptively by corporations in order to “play it safe” and protect their distribution rights.
fighting HARD against the urge to turn off my phone and go to bed. I’ve got a contract that I have to leave for in about twenty minutes but the pay is SHIT i only took it because i literally can’t drive for uber right now which would pay more. it’s just taking photos but the problem is it’s almost two hours away so if you include the drive it’s like $10/hour and that’s assuming I sit in the parking lot for a while after I’m done and get the maximum pay.
ugh i guess it pays for a tank of gas and a few days food I’ll just play Pokemon Platinum while i run out the clock.
edit: well fate rewarded me for being a good boy today cuz I got a second job that pays better right next to the shit one and they average together to make the whole day worthwhile
edit2: fuck this fucking piece of shit employer seven hours of my fucking life wasted these fucks better give me my fucking $100
edit3: well I’ve gotten over being angry because while they’ve been jerking me around and wasting my time my time clock has been ticking so…
Pykrieg is getting close to being ready for full games.
Terrain is working, right now I’m just squashing really obscure bugs related to movement validation edge cases. Then the next thing will be programming an AI opponent, which I’m really looking forward to because I’ve literally never made one of those before (unless you count asteroids-style UFO enemies that aggro when they spot the player).
