Pretty much. I may peace out after this for obvious reasons, I would definitely need to check the statutes of limitation for things but I was so close it would probably make a lot of this forum scream to know. Why not commit? I wasn’t doing so well at the time if you can believe it, and frustratingly I concluded that it was too self-less for a society like ours. Unlikely to lead to anything greater, but unironically if I’d had even one romantic prospect in the couple of years preceding that I almost certainly would have committed to it. So I do think there’s a strategy in place, maybe subconscious for some rulers, to numb people through isolation.

Match is beyond untrustworthy. They bought the functional matchmaking system, OKCupid, to invert its outputs. The OKCupid system was designed to have short account lifespans, meaning the pairs were effective and they stopped using it after meeting. That tech was turned on its head since the acquisition, which was most likely motivated by having an effective competitor which gained word of mouth. At least in their other brands, that original site was left to languish. Only populate the queue using the profiles which engage the user, eg those of people whose if met will not lead to either party abandoning the software. Only those matches which will perpetuate its use and hopefully manage to upsell desperate people.

Use dbt, host it on whatever they got (vSphere, cloud VMs, w/e) or schedule it the same way their “Devops” or “CICD” pipelines are orchestrated. Makes it easier if you wind up having a bunch of workers move data in parallel during the migration window or if you need to do a rolling refresh of the destination for validation or something.

If you can get access to the source database, query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views (select * from information_schema.columns) to get the data types of the fields in the source system. Same for the destination it sounds like, but once you have the columns and tables present in both systems you can probably start mapping it easily or chatbots probably do OK at it.

I am because I met someone there, going to try to make it work. Second time I’ve been there. At least for the remaining Trump years.

Video is far too long and nothing of worth hearing added over the Onion Router and PRISM NATOpedia pages, which is saying a lot.

It’s over an hour long, no reason. I turned it off at 6 minutes when he seems to be implying there’s some huge conspiracy afoot with tech companies scrambling to do damage control post-PRISM (with making hidden service URLs for Zuckbook to be accessed by Tor and such). Like he said, of course they don’t care if you use Tor, it’s still your account… I can’t imagine where he was going with this was at all worthwhile. At best they were hoping to correlate people using their personal accounts via Tor with their other Tor traffic, or deliver Javascript exploits to Tor users. We found out quite quickly when Zuckbook paid for a TAILS 0-day which they deployed against a child abuser using their websites to go after kids, via security researchers.

Ah I just wrote basically this and refreshed the page. Some people imagine there’s 12 guys in a smoked filled room doing all the decisions, and all sorts of stuff, but it’s more nebulous than that. Most of the people pushing it forward aren’t even Zionists, they’re just capitalists. It’s a horrible system that incentivizes capturing the organs of the state to print money to enrich shareholders by paying for bombs to drop to invest in the aftermath. Of course the “US” actors involved are going along with it, there’s more dollars at the end and they have more of them. The economic power of the working class got diluted.

It’s symbiotic, but there are a lot of US weapons shareholders and forces pushing it. The US side of the arrangement does control the tap, but there’s a lot things that are hard to quantify. Like the feedback loop wherein the Isntreal Lobby spends on anti-M4A candidates or anything that betrays a sense of humanity. Borders tend to obscure things at the top. A subset of powerful people from both “nations” take advantage of each others’ situations to further enrich and empower themselves. Ruling classes will often find common ground, it’s easy to take from the bottom if there’s been concessions made in the past to get them to play ball. Sometimes that breaks down and they pick a less favored nation to feed the meat-grinder throwing workers into wars, to create some opportunities for investment.

Where’s the best place to sell this crap nowadays? I haven’t looked at my inventory since 2018. Apparently my hydroponic AK was worth 10K 3 days ago lol

Looks like Gigabyte does not probably but it will if the manufacturer pushes them to Windows update. I’ve had BIOS updates from another board vendor delivered via Windows update (in the past, when using Windows). A work laptop did it a few weeks ago. Rebooted and said it was applying BIOS updates on a manufacturer splash screen.

Maybe if they’re still in touch we can get the full story on this!

idk why exactly but this is the hardest I’ve laughed in 2 years

Speaking on Fox & Friends, Trump says “someone very close” to the suspect turned him in.

The cops’ story about the shooter seems OK, limping/strange gait on snitch’s doorbell cameras supposedly because the gun or part of the gun is concealed (presumably in their waistband in some manner).

Stills from the stairwell could be mid-limping gait but they seem to be bending their right leg in one of the photos, which was the leg they were keeping straight in the doorbell cam footage.

Not familiar with the Mauser .30-06 but I’ve used some bolt actions which had a single hex screw securing the barrel, which then unscrewed from the receiver for easy replacement, and stock folded/removed. If the barrel were concealed/causing the gait, and everything else fit in the backpack then it mostly makes sense. It would probably fit in the backpack but with the barrel protruding if that’s how it wound up assembled in the woods, probably wouldn’t be visible in the escape footage we have. Maybe disassembly didn’t go as planned.

Aw, not bad but it looked like 3D clip art gold potentially

Yeah I think that’s correct also

It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and beyond, and still to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends___

Doesn’t feel good on the frontal lobe whatever word is missing

I knew someone who worked for OKCupid pre-acquisition - Match basically took the model that recommended people and made sure it never recommended the most compatible people to each other, and instead prioritized recommending the profiles of users most likely to waste each others’ time to one another. The individual in question had met their partner via OKC some years prior to working there, they were disgusted and quit. Since that firm owns Tinder and most of the name brands* I’d expect them to all work about the same in that regard but with tweaks they test on the different user bases which they link across systems (*except Bumble, the re-branded Badoo after having bought that one out, and one or two others that almost nobody uses).

Nothing to add other than grab your old phones and make fake profiles, find your real one and like it! Then ghost those fake profiles. If the “algorithm” thinks you’re moderately desired as a guy but already burnt out and will just waste everyone’s time, they’ll spoonfeed you matches.

Not at home but at school once when I was doing cybercrime, and then years later I had the suburban equivalent descend on me in a parking lot once, I picked up a gun from my friend at work (the place of business actually does gun transfers…) and got a phone call and sat in the parking lot for tops 5 mins. As I’m leaving I hear sirens down the road so I chill and wait for the vehicles to pass before turning out - but surprise muthafucka they were looking for me! One cop was literally aiming out the passenger window and there was like a decent number of businesses in the line of fire. Apparently someone had called the cops and this was the response - in the USA! What the fuck?

They really hate France so much they might make some blunders looking toward the US. I’ve talked to a lot of residents of West African nations mentioned in that article on omegle-like sites and they really just hate the French so much it’s very many an “any other port” mentality at times.

It sucks but unfortunately the average western gay rights NGO in Africa is part of that apparatus. No matter how well-intentioned its founders/staffers are, despite all their hypothetical best intentions, they’ll likely be operating entirely atop Western-HQ’d IT systems and their work in the region will functionally serve as a source of blackmail against locals and become in practice a vehicle to create pretexts for ISIS and destabilization that NATO will arm and finance in the area.
