> Over 8 million Thermos jars and bottles recalled after 3 people suffer 'permanent vision loss'

From the headline I thought it was some kind of metal poisoning or other contamination issue. Hell no. The damn thing basically is a loaded cannon waiting to shoot it's lid on your fucking face.

If you got one of these, get rid of it now.

There is no Notepad++ for any Mac, but a vibe-coded port and its sloperator "author" want you to believe otherwise.

Hey @cloudflare, how come you're protecting beamed[.]st, the DDoS service that's attacking Ubuntu? It's an obvious criminal enterprise that literally advertises botnet access.

Enterprise Role Play (ERP), sometimes also Enterprise Resource Play: A unique form of fetish role play.

Unlike more popular fantasies such as boss/secretary focused on power relationships in an office environment, in ERP the business processes themselves are central to the scenario.

ERP participants can create elaborate scenarios involving fictional purchasing departments, legal teams, contract negotiations, and more. Large group ERP scenarios sometimes even extend to the point of renting out vacant space in an office park and acquiring demo licenses of SAP or a competing software package to make the fantasy more realistic, or even traveling to a remote ERP group's dungeon to roleplay a merger or acquisition.

As with more conventional roleplays in the S&M context, consent is critical in ERP. If participants are expected to invest significant real-world money in software licenses, make sure this is agreed upon by everyone in advance. The outcome of all merger scenarios should be pre-briefed; attempted hostile takeovers of another dungeon are extremely frowned upon and can result in participants being banned from future events.

Protect your schedule, including the empty time.

I'm genuinely astonished how many defenses of LLM contributions are a flat "you can't enforce this and you can't actually stop us". Just completely steamrolling past consent and comfort and forcing themselves on people who don't want them. Feels like some serious masks-off kind of shit.

WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR TELEVISION

“Oh, uh. Sorry. Are you here to destroy us?”

NO BUT WE HAVE A LIST OF HUMANS THAT WE WANT TO SLAP.

“Uh. Uhhuh. Good list. Do Clarkson first.”

YOU ARE WISE. ALSO WE WANT TO PET BLUEY AND HUG ATTENBOROUGH.

There's no Perth in Washington, nor is there a Seattle in Western Australia.

You'd think that would help, but today I found out a lot of scrape-and-slop websites (AI or not) hide their scraped origins by expanding "WA" to "Western Australia" regardless of context. Anyone want vacation homes in Seattle, Western Australia, United States?

One problem with following happenings all over the world is, when seeing the state abbreviation "WA," having to figure out whether it's the State of Washington or the State of Western Australia.
