That’s why it worked.

Not in anyway an expert on matters naval, but diesel subs are pretty quiet running on electric motors. Nuclear reactors make more noise.

Feel free to correct me.

One one space permitted. Nah, I’m not an actual slave to the dictates of grammar Nazis. That’s why such books are called guides.

That takes me back. That was the standard reference for my journalism degree 35 years ago. I still have it.

So if a lab rat adds, deletes or edits a person’s DNA it is no longer a ‘product of nature’?

I did this over a year ago, requesting that they delete my shit.

I got a nice email back saying that they would do so, but would retain necessary material to comply with local laws and law enforcement obligations.

So, my best bet is they didn’t delete anything. I only hope is that they don’t put it on the open market.

Didn’t one of the space shuttles almost holed by a fleck of paint?

All great empires go through to decline, the fascinating thing about the US is that it happened so quickly.

Yeah, just the Chinese aps do that shit. Regular Western apps always protect your data and would never misuse it in any way.

Nice try, Zuckerberg…

The traditional deal is you only get to threaten folk who haven’t access to nukes. If they have, your threat can be ignored. That’s why North Korea is a thing and Saddam Hussein isn’t.

No, man. The High Table must be destroyed before he quits or does. This is a must. One more, Baby.

As an Australian I can confirm this. Anybody silly enough to act patriotic in any group will be sledged mercilessly.

Not only is not a thing, but the rest of the world views it as distinctly odd. Performative patriotism looks a bit creepy from the outside. I guess you have to be born into it, but we all know that family who does something and remains unaware just how it looks?

Why do we have to sign up to every fucking thing and it’s brother? Everything gets hacked eventually. Why don’t we just hand over our data to the hackers and cut out the middle man?
