I just can’t enjoy Rust anymore. I used to love playing on low pop friendly servers buy to spend all arvo harvesting resources and building a neat house only for someone to raid and greif it while I’m at work made it a sisyphean hell.

All I wanted to do was build cool and interesting structures, maybe bag some unsuspecting players into a barred cell and force them to fight to the death, or pave the map with landmines, fun things like that.

Cheapest possible exploitation of the labour of others

UBI.

I don’t have much imagination or intelligence but I’m pretty sure there’s a million Einstein’s out there who could be solving global warming, deforestation, rising salinity, desertification, leoukemia, species extinction, landlordism, gridscale energy storage and a host of social problems if they weren’t broke-ass and forced to work in soul-crushing retail 9 hours a day just to survive and eat.

Once spent a whole day troubleshooting a site remotely over the phone to re-establish network connection

The client assured me the server was connected to the network switch. It wasn’t until some repeated questioning about the indicator lights on the switch, which were mysteriously absent, that I realised we were talking about a patch panel and not a network switch.

This was before facetiming and decent res photo cameras on mobile phones.

I recently bought the 5-door Suzuki Jimny with a roof rack and ladder, and can confirm it’s the best and most satisfying car I’ve ever bought. Carries lumber on the roof, can drive up inclined that other 4wd cars cannot, floats over sandand mud, sipspetrol, it’s fantastic. It doesn’t come with a ton of stupid touchscreen controls or driver assist nonsense either, it’s just - a car - like they used to sell 20 years ago. It has a keyhole in the door and the steering column. It weighs about 1/2 what a jeep weighs, and 1/3rd of a big LandCruiser.

Yeah, kick it away, stand next to it, maybe put your foot on top of it to secure it if there are other people milling around, but never pick it up, not even to clear it unless the danger is extreme and imminent.

Knowing the condition of the gun (loaded, not loaded, one in the pipe, slide locked etc) contributes heavily to the prosecution, and picking it up contaminates evidence and could get you shot.

That being said, if the guy breaks free and is coming for the gun, pick it up and blat him in the head.

Which song?

Both 😉

It was actually pioneered by Thatcher in the 80s, if you don’t believe me google Margaret Thatcher Rule 34

If this is your first night at squirrel fight club, you have to fight.

Why did the supermarkets standardized on orange?

All my problems are my fault.

Nice, how many of my credit card numbers do you need?

It’s not a given that they would take his phone, ether during voluntary interview, investigative detention, or arrest.

Two possible reasons: They either wanted to get a search warrant for the phone before seizing it, AND were waiting for an opportunity to seize it after he had unlocked it in their presence to hasten the search by not having to deal with a locked phone, maybe even waiting for a specialist forensics person to be available, OR they believed that the risk of the suspect having, and deleting incriminating evidence on the phone already was LOWER than the chance of the suspect producing incriminating evidence in their presence under recording.

I’ve seen plenty of arrest and interrogation videos where the person comes in for questioning, isn’t under arrest, gets left in an interrogation room for a long time on purpose, and then calls or texts someone and spills some incriminating details to a friend, family member or otherwise while they are being audio and video recorded.

Even when cops are certain of a person’s guilt, they keep the voluntary interview going as long as possible before finally saying “You’re under arrest” because it gives them time to build a solid picture of evidence, and maximizes detention and interrogation time where they can play all of their little games, including controlling your food, water, rest, sleep, movement, light levels in the room, psychological manipulation, and so on.

Can a locked BIOS still be bypassed by shorting the CMOS battery or am I antiquated? It’s been forever since I needed to do that.

Did the CEO of wolves write this?
