I knew a guy whose parents basically invented thrift stores. He’s accountant did the same thing while he was battling drug addiction. Not sure if she ever got prosecuted I think the owner wanted to move on. Then he died of a heart attack.

The controls and movement in the first one were terrible.

The remaster improved the first ones controls I believe!

>I literally remember one of my elderly relatives pulling out a tooth at home with a thread tied around a door handle as if this was nothing special. DIY all the way! Early 1990s, former Soviet Union rural-or-so area.

Some form of this type of tooth pulling was common for baby teeth in the 90s. I’m sure it still is today. I don’t know about recommending it for adult teeth.


Yeah my kid asked me to do some form of this for a baby tooth because She didn’t want to wait for an appointment and it was really bothering her. It worked! Definitely not recommended for an adult tooth. Baby teeth are barely hanging on and don’t have deep roots really

There’s no way ISPs can function without SNMP. I think network management is like a 1/3 of all traffic. We process billions and billions of traps daily. These are not on internet connected networks and some have dedicated channels.

How did the attacker get the community string?


1/3 is a absurd, more like 1/3000.

Most people never change it from "public" you know.

Bonus: if the "private" community is exposed on Cisco IOS, you can read and write the router's configuration.


This is not illegal. I with 3-4 unrelated people in college from time to time. There was one group that rented a massive house and had 15-20 people living in it.

I've definitely done it in places (in the US) where locally it was not legal. But it's not like the cops ever checked and caused us trouble about it, so it's easy to get away with it if there aren't other legal issues going on.

Even where it's not legal, there's often ways around it - if one student is willing to be the "fall guy" so there's only ever one person on the lease.

The SRO bans went explicitly against a form of "hotel" really which was more individualistic.

An example is seen in Blues Brothers, before Carrie Fischer remodels it; probably to install higher density.


Explain how SS7 access can allow someone intercept my call back to an official number like Bank of America or a number on Fidelity a 401k support page.


The yeast eats the sugar and turns it into alcohol. More sugar more alcohol, grandma’s version sounds good.


Alcohol concentrations over 20% kill yeast, so adding sugar to distilled spirits will not create more alcohol.


Ahh, yes I forgot it’s not fermented you just use vodka or something stronger with the lemon peels.


Where do you live? I could easily find people who speak, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, Telugu, English, Spanish, Thai, and Portuguese and I haven’t even left the parking lot. It would be harder to find a German or French speaker.


Do all these people also speak some English?

(I live in NYC where the mix of languages is thick, but I rarely have to reach even for my Spanish, because English is still commonly understood everywhere, at least to some degree.)


Not all of them, no. Where I am (California) there are a lot of monolingual or barely functional in English speakers of Spanish and Mandarin. Also where I live specifically, Vietnamese and Cambodian. Those are all seniors though.


In Chinatown on Manhattan, there are areas like that (though I suppose the senior citizens mostly speak Cantonese there). Many of the store signboards are in Chinese only, and inside, the labels may also be only in Chinese; then only the fact that I still remember a bunch of kanji allows me to tell a duck from a chicken, when both are wrapped in impenetrable dark plastic.


Yeah I know the area. My wife and I have been through there a few times (she is from Taiwan). Lots of people who barely speak any English at all, but you might not know if you didn’t speak Chinese.

That kindly old man making noodles behind the counter on that restaurant you frequent off Canal St? The one that always has a stoic face and never says a word? He doesn’t speak any English, but try chatting with him in Mandarin and he’ll talk your ear off with his life story.


I have personally been to places in NYC (and surrounding areas like Newark) where the staff does not speak any English at all.


The area I and in mind the answer is yes. But there are areas where it would be no. I’m in the Deep South.


No he means crime will dramatically decrease and surveillance will increase. I’d be inclined to agree.


D'oh, I suppose I just have some default mental schema that processed the sentence assuming "former" before "latter".


Yeah, figured that making it hard to parse would make it more likely people were thoughtful about their replies. In this climate, it's likely to attract a flamewar if I just spell it out.


My eye doc said I had a slight case of blepharitis and that I should use high quality fish oil and eye lid cleaning wipes. The oil would help the membranes or gland in the eye lid, can’t remember which.


I hadn't heard that! I'll have to take good fish oil religiously.

Blepharitis is just the worst.


Think i had this before. had a lump on one eyelid.

Went to GP and asked him if was cancer.

He just recommended a clean warm wet cloth and prescribed me some peroxide eyedrops.

All seems to be working and it's going away.

I think it's worth mentioning that when it started i wasn't eating well and had lost weight due to stomach issues.
