I sometimes come across as rather "old-fashioned" and there is a reason for that. For security reasons, I don't want to write more about this. But for the uncritical believers in technology, here's a small impression of Ryan Montgomery, whom I was also able to experience professionally. Nice guy, by the way!

Just be aware!

I don’t want to write about it but I’ll write about it.

Definitely in the right thread.

What‘s wrong, what‘s right? What‘s W.T.F.? It‘s not about me … and almost certainly not about you. You're worse than a „Blockwart“. 😆

His attitude is probably conditioned by experience. Somebody with a broken strap is likely a customer, somebody just browsing doesn't have any need of immediate replacement and will most likely buy on line if it is cheaper.

He can't infer which I am by only looking at me, so Why being rude on the first interaction (even if I were buying online, why being rude at all anyway)?

Speaking of which ... W.T.F.! CVE-2023-4863 with some far-reaching consequences … (especially for older devices still in use - not only Google Chrome).

Yet another reason I strongly dislike Electron applications.

The penalty for touching my Tesla while you ask me to slow down.
A vicious attack and being left to bleed out, potentially fatally, and you get...

Samurai sword 'road rage': Man gets home detention for 'callous and cowardly' attack on dog-walker

A man was left with chunks of flesh and bone carved out of him after a brutal attack where a driver got out of his car and attacked him with a sword, leaving the pedestrian bleeding in a ditch.

In handing down his sentence, Judge Wharepouri praised the action of the victim’s son, without his “timely intervention it is highly likely your victim would have succumbed to bloodloss and died from his injuries.”

Based on things I've seen on the road I often think if the average person had a firearm in the glovebox overnight it would be wall to wall shootouts on the road every day. Some people just need to chill out. It's a license to drive a car not a license to own a road.. every road.. all the time.. and even more on Sundays..

This is why Americans drive on the other side of the road. Most people are right handed so it keeps their gun in the middle of the car.

The comments don't seem to actually be comments either, just random names.

I'd suggest if Rainbow's End contacts Shopify that will go offline pdq. It could be a similar story for Facebook.
