Hmm. _hemo_dialysis…

That’s pretty neat. If they can stimulate sleep, a lot of people wouldn’t depend on anticholinergics, possibly raising dementia risks. Plus I’m pretty sure no monkeys died in trials.

That’s what capitalists and their bootlickers do. They only give credit in blame shifting.

Yes, and infanticide is illegal.

The complaint quotes a Microsoft representative describing the GDID as “a persistent, device-level identifier designed to uniquely identify an installation of a Windows operating system on a device, either a physical device (e.g., a mobile phone or laptop) or virtual machine, across certain Microsoft services and scenarios”

A Global Device ID (GDID) is a permanent, unique digital fingerprint that Microsoft automatically assigns to your computer when you install Windows or sign into a Microsoft account.

Yep. That was less than a year ago.

He stopped taking naked aipac money and is now taking it from a superpac that hides it.

I hope it makes his stop taking Zionist money and making Zionist votes. In fact, now that I think about it, how do we know this is true and not staged?

Well gaaaaawwwwleee.

Chickens are incredibly intelligent and self aware.

It has the goal of living.

And that won’t be honored.

The comments on combinator:

I have a real problem with the pretense posed by the article that the club has no blame. They should have understood the risk they were taking on by subcontracting a vendor to collect passports, and better vetted that vendor. Obviously the service provider was completely inept, but that doesn’t absolve the fools using them. I preach to my clients this sort of PII should be treated as a toxic, hazardous substance. Ideally don’t touch it with a 10 foot pole, and if you can’t help it then limit the scope, protect it with strong access policies that severely limit who can touch it (including encryption keys conservatively custodied), and securely delete it all as soon as possible.

Too many companies these days point you to shoddy third parties for some kind of functionality (e.g. book an appointment, perform KYC on you, host the online learning platform for your course, etc.), inappropriately foisting both a new business relationship on you that you never asked for along with their partner’s terms of service that you have no bargaining power in negotiating.

This is a side-effect of the SaaS era, and the model is broken.

If these kinds of breaches were actually costly, then people would indeed treat PII as toxic. But they aren’t. The media brouhaha blows over within a week or so, and things are fine again. Leaking PII should be very, very expensive, and then this idiocy would stop.

11-15 He replied, “You’ve been given insight into God’s kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn’t been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely. But if there is no readiness, any trace of receptivity soon disappears. That’s why I tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward a welcome awakening…

Nothing was meant to be taken literally. Ever. But you know how people who get power can be. 😋

Nowhere does the story Ok earlier in the book say that. And it’s not pertinent, anyway.

Dunno. Brief search found this: https://testamentpress.com/ancient-money-calculator.html but it’s a horrible website and doesn’t have that time frame or specific currency.

Lol.

10 The disciples came up and asked, “Why do you tell stories?”

Goliath(copy/paste): he was six cubits and a span tall…the armor weighing five thousand copper shekels…On his legs were copper shields and between his shoulders, a copper guard…The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam and his spearhead weighed six hundred iron shekels; the shield bearer walked in front of him…Dovid was the youngest…Shaul said to Dovid, “You cannot go to fight this Philistine, for you are a lad, while he has been a warrior from his childhood…” Shaul dressed Dovid in his own battle garments, and put a copper helmet on his head and dressed him in armor…Dovid girded his sword over his battle garments. But he did not want to go out [in Shaul’s battle garments], for he was not accustomed [to them]; so Dovid said to Shaul, “I am unable to walk with these, for I am not accustomed [to them],” and Dovid removed them from himself…He took his staff in his hand and picked out five smooth stones from the brook and put them in his shepherd’s bag, in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; he then approached the Philistine…Dovid reached into the bag, took a stone from there and slung it, and struck the Philistine in the forehead; the stone penetrated his forehead, and he fell face down upon the ground…Thus Dovid overpowered the Philistine with the sling and stone; he smote the Philistine and killed him, though there was no sword in Dovid’s hand…

Costco, I try to avoid Amazon, and haven’t bought anything there but twice in several years. Clothing, uh, lol. I bought a couple of sets of work clothes at a store going out of business, and the two nearish villages to mine have indie thrift stores. If I need something else, I’ll pick it up locally at a dollar store or small, indie grocery, but if I’m by a chain grocery and I get a good price, I’ll go there.
