@arielmt this is another one of those things that's perfectly fine but I wouldn't trust linus within 100 metres of

@InspectorCaracal @noelle no, wait, I was wrong

It was 8 zeroes, far more secure

Still, we had ours secured with bike locks at the time so we can hardly talk

@noelle wasn't that also the US nuclear launch code for like, 20 years?

German General Officer: "The reason that the American Army does so well in war time, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis"

Soviet document: "One of the serious problems in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine"

Anonymous US Army officer: "If we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions"

Very disappointed that maplestory 2 currently has no @maple related content

@maple some other maplebots flying backwards through the air after firing high-calibre rifles and yelling "WHEEEEE!"

No it isn't!

If your surgeon tells you "'sallright, I left these scalpels on a windowsill for 20 minutes, they're fine" you're gonna be a bit bloody worried aren't you?

Now I'm not saying that we necessarily should treat nazis like we treat surgical tools because that would be incredibly ironic and far too on the nose but seriously liberals, come up with decent metaphors

Huh, TIL that Outlook replaces all smiley faces with "J" in plain text emails

Apparently they decided to auto change ":)" to the windings smiley face in anything you send, and when that gets converted to plain text you end up with "J"

Because Microsoft evidently haven't heard of the emoji block in unicode

That bug's been in there since 2010

@meena the cat that belongs to two doors up and probably isn't meant to be luxuriating in our living room
