Even for Florida, this is pretty fscked up. Friendly fire, much?

 

Why were 2 people shot in Miami Beach? Suspect told cops that he ‘saw 2 Palestinians’





"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

17 shots from a single pistol, unprovoked, into a passing car.

No chance that Florida will even contemplate extended magazine has no purpose for defense.

If they're arming for a zombie apocalypse, maybe run an tv ad for using a chainsaw, fire axe crowbar, and shovel. The ad could sping it as "infinite ammo"

The ad would get to 99% of their target audience by airing it on Fox News, and on re-runs of “Trailer Park Boys”, “Roseanne” and the “The Jerry Springer Show”.

Here we go: https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/deepseek-ai-us-ban-prison-b2692396.html 🤣

 

 

Just run it locally then, or in the "cloud" in a non-China country. Works just fine. 

 

 

We're not stupid enough for that. 😉

Help! Over the weekend, I suddenly received 58 enquiries from small and medium-sized companies asking my office to advise them on digital independence from US services. „Suddenly“ they realised that with MS Office 365+ (and any other US cloud services) they have become financially blackmailable (remember: „deal“) at any time, and that their data can be read and analysed by US intelligence services despite the GDPR, something they apparently didn't care about until now anyway. Don't think that simply storing data with US services on EU servers is enough - think the unthinkable!

 

Well, far too much. I'm afraid I'll have to send some (most) of them a friendly rejection today. 😕

I'll stick with my Diamanda Galas CDs and Jackson Pollock paintings, if that doesn't get rid of them a katana won't either.

I assume you're being facetious, but it says customer complaint.

 

Rubber O-rings are often used as drive belts in food service because they don't have small surfaces so are easy to clean, don't shed particles, and don't need oiling. 

 

But if they break and you don't catch it, you potentially have a whole rubber ring going into a food processor, and unlike metal, you can't pick it up in a metal detector.

Could also be a glove as people call those rubber despite no one using rubber for gloves now. If they said nitrile contamination then people would assume that was some deadly toxin or some crap because it sounds sciencey to the average person, and as George said, half the people are stupider.

I was thinking that Louis was going over the top with his reaction. These days reality is always worse than what you guessed.

A Tado starter kit with one thermostat cost about NZD $150.

Thermostat maker performs psychological experiments on customers: never buy Tado products

Louis Rossmann

Lots of rough language.

Jewish man mistakes two Israeli tourists for Palestinians and opens fire on them in Miami: The Guardian
...
Further complicating the incident, one of the injured men reportedly posted “death to the Arabs” in a message on social media after the shooting. “My father and I went through a murder attempt against anti-Semitic background,” he wrote.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Florida chapter has called for federal hate crime charges in the shooting.

“It is deeply ironic and telling that both the alleged pro-Israel perpetrator and the pro-Israel victim in the Miami Beach shooting reportedly hold racist anti-Palestinian views,” said Cair’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, on X.

“This just the latest example of the hate targeting the Palestinian-American community in this country and Palestinians in their homeland. Policymakers in our nation should stop fomenting the anti-Palestinian hate that led to the genocide in Gaza and to hate crimes in America.”

It's embarrassing for these idiots that both are Jewish, and both sides blame an uninvolved party.

 

How dumb can these people be? Farking racists.

As long as only idiots kill each other, the Darwin theory works quite well. The problem is the innocent collateral damage.

 

(I have no sympathy for either side, but I feel infinitely sorry for the fate of innocent and defenceless civilians.)

I'm not so sure how 'tricked' insiders are.
Given the regularity of exchanges misplacing security protocols.
Our long term storage of your coins triple locked until they aren't.

 

Its a bit like leaving a latch loose on warehouse window on a convenient night.

 

CEO will probably just keep living a nice lifestyle, and keep CEOing the place, so accountability ?
Along with the board and Fred in IT who is critical to our infrastructure etc. 

 

While there is a lot of talk that inherent tracking of crypto makes it safe against being stolen.
Seems those who steal have many ways to make sure that recovery is much more rare.
Various means to wash and obscure. 
Plus if you are in Drugs, Arms trading and elicit Nuclear materials trade it seems you have your ways.
