ChrisLicht,

I hate to admit this, but I’ve started using Reddit again. It pains me, but there is stuff I just can’t get here.

ChrisLicht,

Here’s a mnemonic technique that I have found works: Nothing about Marvel movies is worth remembering.

You’re watching the dramatic equivalent of that retouched Ecce Homo painting, a mass media product constructed by Hollywood on top of the palimpsest of the creative output of young Jewish men trying to come to grips with feelings of powerlessness in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Nothing much of the original remains, and it’s not worth looking at, beyond remarking at its absurdity.

What VPN do you use and why?

If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name....

ChrisLicht,

PIA, just because I’m lazy and it’s been fine for like a decade. If there is something better, happy to hear about it.

ChrisLicht,

I’d be shocked if it were, as I think they zealously honor KYC/AML/OFAC.

ChrisLicht,

I never hear that show mentioned, but it’s excellent.

ChrisLicht,

About 12 years ago, I had what I half-believe was a mystical experience at a Lowe’s outside San Francisco, CA. I was doing an electronics project, and my wire strippers were ragged and not handling small gauge wires well; it was causing me a lot of frustration.

So, I was staring at the kinda shit Chinese options on the shelf at Lowe’s, when an impish older employee in a Lowe’s uniform rocked up and asked if I needed help. We talked about what kinds of stuff I was making, mostly microelectronics with the occasional home repair, and I explained the typical range of gauges I was working with. He was extremely knowledgeable and mentioned he had just retired out of 40 years at PG&E, then said, “I think we carry exactly what you need,” and wandered off.

Ten minutes later, he rematerializes carrying some new German wire strippers that are obviously way better made than the stuff on the shelf and wishes me well. They have been god-tier precision strippers; I’ve stripped thousands of tips without any issue.

Here’s the thing: I’ve shopped there many, many times since. There’s no other section for electronics tools, and there isn’t a professional-trade Lowe’s next door. And, this guy must have quit pretty much immediately, because he was never there again and other employees had no idea who I was talking about when I asked if he was around.

(Please see comments)Alternatives to Signal if they exit EU due to ending E2EE

Like the title states looking for E2EE apps (Android and iOS) without going into much details or needs to be robust enough and easy to use for anyone and stable for operations that are susceptible to constant electronic warfare. I did some research and thought about replacing Signal with Molly and wondering if it will still work...

ChrisLicht,

Seems like these laws just create space and high motivation for the next security innovations which will be even harder to break.

ChrisLicht,

Huh, The Oatmeal still exists. And, his art style has changed.

ChrisLicht,

Yuri Gagarin was rumored to be drunk when he took the famous flight.

ChrisLicht,

Here’s a terrible rec for price considerations: Penrose.

They make the best-smelling waxes I have ever encountered. If you’re someone who is sensitive to the complexities and subtleties of smells, their waxes are god tier. You will find something to adore.

But, they’re not cheap, so a poor answer to your question.

ChrisLicht,

I brushed with cortizone cream a couple of months ago.

ChrisLicht,

I feel slow. Is the joke that he’s putting sunglasses on top of sunglasses?

ChrisLicht,

Whew!

So, he puts on a second pair in the third panel, then a different second pair in the fourth panel. Is there something about a specific pair of sunglasses that causes a woman to look like a mom?

I’m lost.

ChrisLicht,

It’s as good as anything I can come up with. This thing has stymied the fuck out of me.

ChrisLicht,

Yes. But you can just wire up one up yourself.

ChrisLicht,

How about forcing France and the other western powers who repeatedly pillaged and extorted Haiti to disgorge the hundreds of billions in value they effectively stole from Haiti?

And, while they are at it, how about making them re-green that end of Hispaniola?
