Slows down, Replays a Transformation sequence, three times.

'cause some times you need to look at what is going on...

This...

This is the epitome of Bad Ideas(tm).  The ultimate in the Darwin Awards because you're not just trying to remove yourself from the genepool, but the whole goddamned species as well!!!

No scripts. No ads. No tracking. No colour.

CERN has recreated the world's first web browser as a browser app.

.... there's no way this thing will ever take off.

I thought for a while about posting this one, because the article itself isn't up to my usual standards of objectivity. However, the base premise appears sound.

CBC Analysis: Why Trump can take credit for his opponents' Green New Deal

tl;dr: By abandoning this issue (and apparently denying that it exists), Trump "has handed the Democrats carte blanche on the issue". (The article makes its point, then goes on to talk as if the Democrats being elected in 2020 is a done deal.)

French fencing body recognizes lightsaber dueling as a sport.

Yes.  The Federation approves of Light Sabers.

The Register: Use an 8-char Windows NTLM password? Don't. Every single one can be cracked in under 2.5hrs

Or under 15 seconds if you have applicable rainbow tables and a GPU. (And who doesn't have a GPU nowadays?)


IMHO, this xkcd strip has a good idea but doesn't implement it correctly. (For one thing, Mr. Munroe implies his password is 25 elements {letters} long when it's actually 4 elements {common dictionary words} long.)

I figure this could be used if Doug needed to infiltrate some evil group, to help him get in without actually needing to perform evil deeds to prove himself. Basically, I think it would make him give off the vibe of an incredible evildoer who is pretending to be good.  Also, it might genderflip him.

Trump is planning on joining the ranks of countless other autocrats in declaring a false emergency to assume special powers: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47247726

I don’t trust or believe any GOP politician saying that they will oppose this. Their actions these past years have clearly shown where their interests lie.

And walk away again, and see if anyone notices...

I got back into writing again. Bob has chapters eight and nine of Dead Bang. I'm taking a day or two off before diving into Chapter ten, but I've already started blocking out the key elements.
