First hand experience with TSA biometric collection in airport
  • it's a data collection point.

    can't scan AI recognition on your passport, so they get your consent this way and with an updated photo.

    it's the only thing that makes sense if they're taking photos and checking passports.

  • 18 years for woman who hoped to destroy Baltimore power grid and spark a race war
  • let's assume you're correct. there's still irrefutable evidence that she did the actions that lead to charges to be filed against her.

    wouldn't what she did be considered terrorism then? it was an act thats purpose was to inflict fear and chaos on the community and destabilize the local government.

    if she was tried as a terrorist, and I believe she should have been, she would have been looking at life in prison.

    so, is she a criminal or a terrorist?

  • Putin issues a nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine
  • "I'm rubber, you're glue. what you do bounces off me and sticks to you."

    that's basically what he said.

    what a desperate little bitch. he can't win against a war with a well stocked and trained army so now he has to resort to threats he can barely deliver on.

    your threats are 1 out of 6 stars you basic bitch.

  • I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers
  • in your defense Amazon would spray their boxes with poison if it didn't add any extra costs.

    PSA: Companies couldn't give a shit about you or your packages. the sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll realize how insignificant you are in the world.

  • NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules
  • if it's citrix you used to be able to modify the local connection config file to allow access to the clipboard regardless of what the server allowed.

    been a few years since I needed to do it, but it was possible at one time.

  • related to another comment I made, the materials they used just don't exist.

    the wood they used to build a house in 1900 were from trees that were at or over 100 years old much of that time was never around humans or pollution. this means the growth rings were tight and dense. very sturdy. in California they were cutting down the great Sequoia red woods to build homes. much of San Fransisco still has redwood framing to this day. those trees are multiple hundreds of years old.

    compared to the white pine we used in framing today, the tree is anywhere from 5-7 years old and are bred to grow tall, and fast. this makes the growth rings loose and soft. sturdy enough.

  • in fairness, the materials were cheaper then compared to now only because they were practically raw materials.

    if you look at 17th century European construction and compare domiciles constructed for nobles vs commoners the only difference other than scale, is the quality of the post processing.

    example; walls in a manor were stone bricks and plasterwork. commoners used the stone laying around(free) and had no plaster. lords had slate roofs, commoners had thatched (free).

    as time marched on, the consumer market grew throughout the 19th and 20th century where homes were developed with manufactured/engineered materials. the cost of materials dropped due to supply and demand. lowest home development peaked in the 1990s.

    after 2008 and then 2020, building a new home is far out of reach of most due to costs of materials and land.

    one could say our ancestors had cheaper homes, but our ancestors would think we're royalty if they saw the amenities we live with inside out homes today.

    either way, we peaked in the 90s and will never be as prosperous in our lives again.

  • Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app
  • I got a Note 2 at launch and was showing it off at work to people interested in it.

    someone asked about the background and where I got it. said I took it and left it at that.

    took the pic of the top of my bathroom trashcan while dumping some toxic waste.

    pic is the same trashcan now, like me it's a bit dented, dirty, and doesn't open as well as it used to. but, it still works.
