Mainstream liberal leaning news outlets start to give serious consideration to the idea of a "food backup plan". But the time to devise a backup plan is BEFORE PLAN A FAILS.

According to the warrant, the software “contained the entire Arnold air force base (AAFB) communications system”… also reported that… he had a USB which contained “administrative passwords and electronic system keys” for the AETC radio network.’

talk about being wide open… and the Air Farce has “secure” systems and processes which allow one to possess and insert a USB-drive??

Brain while I was washing the dishes earlier: We'll pick up the Bloody Banquet scene here, then switch to Hien here, with this and this and this, how's this dialog?
Me, washing dishes: Oh, that works, I like it.
Me, in front of the computer: OK, let's do this.
Brain: No, I'm thinking of this scene from patch 3.4 now...

Well, I've learned my lesson. Any privately owned social media platform can be acquired by a megalomaniac billionaire and ruined.

@AbandonedAmerica And I just had some AI 'artist' ask me what the problem is if it's public #headdesk

The correct answer here is Yes, this is bad.

While I understand no one wants a Bobby Drop Tables situation, you handle this at the server side of the equation. You encode the character so that your DB system doesn't mistake it for a string delimiter.

Sigh.

When all mail from government and various corporations (insurance, bank etc) in DK has been digitalized into the same system, how come NOBODY - f****** NOBODY - is able to figure out integrating a meaningful subject line???

Here is one of the best scripting examples I have seen in a while.
I still don't believe someone actually wrote this.

id=$old_id
if [ $id -ne $old_id ]
then
PrintMsg "ERROR - id not equal to old id "
exit_func 0
fi

On top of that - ALL errors exited with status 0 in this script.
