The Dread Pirate Roberts reference is from the movie Princess Bride.

Wesley spends years building up an immunity to a fictional substance called “iocaine powder”, the most deadly substance known to man. He tricks a foe into drinking wine laced with it, killing his foe while he survives.

No step

It absolutely is not the correct response. LTT and GN are very public and the suggestion to take the conversation private is bad. There is no backroom conversation that can “fix” shitty data.

I agree with Linus taking accountability for publishing bad test results. That is a good thing. Talking shit about GN and refusing to walk back on that is bad. That is unprofessional.

Byproducts of burning PET (soda bottle plastic): hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans and heavy metals

No, you can’t go all Dread Pirate Roberts and slowly build up an immunity to those over several years. Try as you might to impress that lady friend, it won’t work.

Cool, I’ll add better details, for sure!

Fyi, it should work for screws with a diameter of ~3.5mm. As long as you can get the screw to self tap its own threads, you should be OK.

Everything should be a very tight fit, when all is said and done. I have to press the anchor bits into the cap by pressing the assembly together hard on my desk.

Yep. I grew up in the mountains of NC. When I was a kid, the mayor of our town was the head of the local KKK sect. Needless to say, non-white people were generally not found in that town.

Attitudes did change over the following years, so that was nice.

Well, it’s the gays or atheists. Or “colored” people. Or whoever they are told to hate at that moment. This happens more than you know in this day and age:

Just tampering with DNS requests to block web sites is just the tip of the iceberg.

Intercepting DNS requests on port 53 at the ISP level is trivial, so you need to take a few more steps like using DNS over TLS or HTTPS. While still not foolproof, it’s better than raw-dogging all of your DNS queries.

Using a trusted VPN or Tor is also an option, but that is a pain IMHO.

It doesn’t take that much room to smoke my freebase estrogen.

What is this default DNS you are speaking of? I am curious about how you imagine DNS operating. I suppose you mean that people should switch DNS servers from those hosted by their local ISPs?

Bankman-Fried’s strategy for rehabilitating his reputation appeared built on discrediting and blaming Ellison.

He is not a very smart person, is he?

I have no problems publicly admitting that you are wrong.

I can’t wait for Disney to lay the smack down on “X”.

Marketing can be done by anyone. :) All it takes is a little passion and excitement when telling someone else about something you enjoy.

Professional marketers can bring lots of skills to the table but nothing beats a good old fashioned testimonial.

I wonder how many people are going to down-doot this before they see the fresh new meme?

Mmmmmmm… That sweet, sweet taste of nostalgia.

The “midlife crisis” is real. For me, it’s looking for new things to do, cutting out bad habits (drinking) and am trying not to think about how life is actually all downhill from here. I am not going to buy a sports car or anything, but some healthy experimentation with psychedelics does seem to scratch that itch.

I think I rationalized my fear by understanding just how much shit I have seen and I still have another 30 to 40 years left, which is a good thing.

That is why I fell in love with shrooms, TBH. Psilocybin has resurrected a curiosity in me that I haven’t felt in years. I just seemed that at 40 years, there aren’t many situations that I haven’t seen or experienced in daily life. As a side benefit, I have learned how to grow mushrooms.

Edit: haven’t

I haven’t even read the article and I can summarize it: “Elon is an idiot.”
