He’s not on the unfinished Empire State Building because the finished building is behind him.

Looks like something in midtown. Maybe Rockefeller Building?

All that I can picture is a tug o war where one side is struggling and the other side lets go, and they all fall down. Only in this video you hear pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop as the line lets go.

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.

How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don’t use your spot.

I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.

It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.

TIL that Linux users are a bunch of lucky crabs.

Wouldn’t the value of this advertising be a direct campaign contribution that could violate campaign finance laws?

crime involving moral turpitude

Moral turpitude laws are puritan christian bullshit that should not exist.

But since they do, me might as well use them to unleash the face eating leopards.

Quite the opposite. Lots and lots of rules for everyone except them.

Just wait until they track your phone in the stores and tie it to demographics like where you live and profession to build a financial profile to estimate how much you are able to pay. As you walk down aisles, the prices change to your price to gouge out every possible penny from you.

Ozzy summed it up well:

Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor

Without all of the other stickers, one might assume “Life Is Better With Pig” was referring to their dating preferences.

A real bacon, pork roll, or other pork fat + salt processed meat sandwich needs to use waffles instead of bread. Don’t forget the Mrs Butterworth syrup because you need your daily dose of high fructose corn syrup too.

self employed handyman pretrial release for a pending child-solicitation case

Jan 6th aside, The Dude works in people’s homes, and there’s at least enough evidence to change him with solicitation of a child.

Everybody has the right of innocent until proven guilty, but surely scary for any of his clients. Hope none of them have kids in the house.

How much do you want to bet that the source is somebody trying to sell some sort of snake oil claiming to boost testosterone.

The test is negative. Sorry honey, you’re not pregnant. You’re just fat.

NDAs more often protect strategic information than some big secret.

Stuff like when they will release something, pricing, etc. It really means nothing to 99% of the planet and will mean nothing in a month, but a competitor can use the information to make counter moves.

For commodity online services, you are lucky that people even give you their email address. The number of people who provide anything more is extremely low. OP is freaking out that they are emailing. If they called him on the phone, he would lose his shit.

The terms of service explicitly state that any communications and legal notices about the services will be delivered via the email address that must be verified at sign up. It is not unreasonable to ask customers to provide a valid way to send them service related messages.

Google isn’t going to call you or send you old-school paper mail when they discontinue a service. Even if they did, 99% of people would think that it was a scam.

All that being said, we will always scream test things like EOL of a service just to catch anyone who missed the communications.

Not sarcastic. I work for a provider, and we warn people of service changes a bunch of times over a period of months.

Despite this, you will still get a bunch of people complaining that they were never told, we surprised them with it at the last minute, etc.

A change that deletes customer data brings in legal as well. If one of these people tries to sue for losing their data you want to be able to show that you provided plenty of notice and warning.

Companies will often “scream test” a data loss change. Meaning you turn it off, but don’t really delete right away to see who screams that their data is gone. Anyone screaming gets some short time period to recover the data.

Or maybe you don’t install a data mining spy device in the office?

You do realize that they are actually tracking the device itself by the hardware MAC address and other device fingerprints.

The email is just a bonus to let them legally spam you. Anti-spam laws have an exemption. If there’s a prior business relationship like shopping in their stores, they can put you on their spam list unless you opt out.

Bogus email only helps for spam but doesn’t do anything about tracking.

EDIT: For Android when there’s a Captive Portal like the screen shot. devices will use Persistent randomization which while not the hardware MAC will remain the same for the same network where they can track your visits.

You can also combine your names into a Linux distribution.

Deb + Ian = Debian.
