I built a small set of scripts to decrypt when the initrd starts and can load from a file in the initrd (from separate volume), EFI, or various combinations of passphrase in GRUB. The main intent isn’t to keep out somebody with physical access to the machine and sufficient time but rather makes it a lot easier to make the data unrecoverable when the drive is disposed of.

They should add “and sent them to concentration camps”

Corporate execs: “is there a way we can speed up the process of turning them into oil after that? After all, dinosaurs don’t have human rights because they’re not human”

OJ got away with a lot more due to bullshit by the cops, and he was legit guilty. Luigi I’m honestly not sure because it’s really hard to tell incompetence from frame-up. In the end, I wouldn’t be surprised if the “evidence” was a frame up and they got him from illegally harvested data that they can’t disclose.

Last time they tried somebody tried to harpoon one and was only able to be stopped by a giant invisible space-ship that then beamed them aboard.

“but they’re the good ones (that don’t complain when I abuse them)” - that guy

A lot of people will probably just continue using Windows 10, but yeah now I’m wondering what the best models are that don’t quiiiite support 11. I’d love to snag an decent tablet-PC

Generally, most of the tools in the house are considered “mine”, and yes I do often break out in a dry sweat when my wife wants to borrow them.

This isn’t because I don’t think she could learn to use them, but rather because the only time she picks them up is when she’s in “get it done” mode in which case a fuck up is costly in terms of time and money to fix… we me usually being the one to fix it. I’m pretty sure she similarly shudders when I grab a needle and thread from her office. We have a truce on laundry and dishes.

Thing is, I’ve got a shop full of bits and pieces where I fucked something up. BUT, I generally fucked it up on the inexpensive test projects until I was happy I could do a reasonable job, or where the cost of failure was just generally not too high. I don’t believe that my wife couldn’t similarly become a good carpenter or whatever, but rather experience says that she doesn’t have the interest of patience in learning to do so.

Yeah. A comment that stuck with me is “the type that would happily eat shit just to make others smell their breath”. These types will suffer just so they can hurt others. They’re hateful as fuck

I get both sides of this argument. Some businesses have certain periods where it’s extremely busy followed by an ebb in work. Accountants for example may be balls-to-the-wall at year end, but that period doesn’t justify hiring somebody who might otherwise have their thumb up their ass and nothing to do most of the rest of the year. I’ve also had IT jobs that resolved around projects in this way., and there are always a certain number of SME’s that you kinda need at launch.

At the other side, I’ve known employers who basically ran the bare-minimum amount of staff for a team/project (or less and worked the rest to the bone) and getting them to sign off on holidays for any reasonable length of time was near impossible. Those are the types that would try to call you from the middle of open-heart-surgery if they could, and yeah anyone in this situations should be looking for a new job. The hard part being that getting the time to do proper job hunting was often also similarly difficult because of work, and bills still needed to be paid.

A Bollywood-style IJ movie would actually be pretty awesome. Wouldn’t be that hard to beat Crystal Skull, and Ford - though a great actor in his prime - has mostly been running on name-power these days.

Maybe they can have an Indian version where a certain political cult is trying to sacrifice people

“Well heck, the guy stayed alive an the heard was still beatin when they ripped it out in the YouTube video. Jed, you sure we got the words right?”

That’s actually pretty clever

Yeah, I bought a few season passes when I was into DOTA. The main gain from those is cosmetics and some ladder ranking, but realistically it was that I’d played the game a ton for free and felt that paying a bit to engage wasn’t a big deal.

Everyday the thrill of the game wore off for me, but honestly given hours played versus money spent it was probably one of the cheapest investments in entertainment I made.

Canada would be happy to host more production facilities, and treat them a hell of a lot better than the US too

-force -recursive but I like the way you think
