One down, one to go. Who Will it be?

Oh, that Fremont. Like, troll bridge Fremont, not old Vegas Fremont.

I think you’re going to lose a few people with that first number being off by a decimal place, but the substance of what you said is still relevant and gives insight about the Lemmy experience right now.

I think quesadillas are where corn tortillas really shine. Be sure to soften the tortillas with a little butter in the skillet. I’ve always used jack cheese for these.

Could have little tiny proto shrew cheese curds.

I hope this doesn’t just dissolve into hand-waving and general dismissal based on “he said / she said”. Someone call the bluff and let’s see the cards face-up.

I don’t know how to apply or what qualifications they’re looking for, but it sounds like it could be a good gig for computer-savvy telework.

Do I upvote or downvote this? What does that cat want from us?

Part of it, too, is selective breeding (aka genetic modification, but that’s a dirty word).

Edit: I may be misinformed. I thought selective breeding was technically considered GM, but it sounds like only editing outside of breeding might be what qualifies. Didn’t mean to make this post about technicalities, just meant to point out that genetics has also played a part in arguably more palatable plants.

Combine that with the stupid piped-in engine noise (through the sound system) and you can make anyone feel right at home in last century’s technology.

No microwave I’ve seen has ever actually varied the wattage. It just essentially does pulse width modulation, so 60% power might be on (at full power) for 6 seconds and off for 4 seconds. It averages out to the desired power, but it’s not exactly the same as what it kind of implies.

I think everywhere you’ve posted this has been relevant to those particular threads. I appreciate you carrying that torch.

Small event that may only have been exciting to me.

I’m casually into amateur astronomy and stargazing. I like to count satellites if I’m outside on summer evenings, maybe haul the telescope out if some night is particularly clear. But I really don’t get out very often. Emphasis on “casual.”

We moved to our current house some years ago and were just enjoying the nice, big backyard for one of the first times, sitting in some folding chairs fully reclined to look straight up at the sky. Whenever we do that, which is maybe once every several years, even then it’s always too cold, too hot, too many mosquitos, etc., so this was rare and nice.

Right above our heads, right where we were both looking, an Iridium flare swept across us. I’d heard of those satellites reflecting “flares” being particularly spectacular, and I’d thought about trying to get in the path of a predicted one someday, but I don’t think I really thought I’d ever really make the effort or have any luck if I did. Not expecting it and seeing it happen, I couldn’t decide if I was dreaming. I hopped on heavens-above.com right afterwards and, although I didn’t see that flare predicted, it confirmed an Iridium pass had coincided with the sighting, so I’m convinced.

So, something spectacular and somewhat scarce that many people wouldn’t notice and many would either find boring or think was a UFO was something we got lucky to accidentally see together right in our backyard.

I guess their statement is news because they just said it, but the behavior is classic by this point. GOP–the “O” means “obstruction”.

Was it the cops saying that, or mostly just the Commander In Thief? It certainly wasn’t all cops.

I hope they keep pursuing this inquiry:

At the time of writing, it is unclear whether these virtual impersonations resulted in any criminal investigations or charges against US-based victims whose IP addresses were hijacked as part of the 911 S5 botnet. WIRED is awaiting a response from the Department of Justice regarding this concern.

I’m not even really sure any of it is really about China. This AP article updating about the progress of the attempt to ban DJI drones suggests Autel as “Best DJI drone alternative”. Autel, a Chinese company based in Shenzhen.

Edit: I suppose that could just be the author(s) making an error, but, given the focus on one company in the drone market and a total lack of evidence about security concerns, I just wonder if these aren’t all just companies trying to buy market control through lobbying.

If they control the domain, they can see all incoming mail delivery attempts to sniff for addresses that were used. They’d still have to know the domain of the email address for the login they were attacking, which might not be super useful if they’re going after a certain login. But, going the other direction would be more fruitful: buy a domain, dump all incoming mail into a catch-all box, and start looking for bank alert emails or other periodic/promo emails. You might find services that just use email addresses for a login name, or ones that have a “forgot username” feature that only uses email for recovery. Multi-factor auth spread across multiple services (email, SMS, authenticator codes…) would help mitigate significantly by making them also have to take over a phone number or get an old device. Not impossible, but then you’re making them work harder for it, and when good account recovery services heavily mask the available targets, it makes it harder to know what else to acquire (e.g., a specific phone number) even if they get as far as full email domain control.
