Do it armed with overpowered flashlights and broom handles. Those dogs are dogshit.

The bar has been low for at least 30 years.

It was comically easy to get enlisted during Korea if you were under 18. You could just walk up to the office and lie. They’d take you.

“More like the Gay-vy, amirite? But seriously, just come in and talk. I need at least three other people to fill out a form or they send me to the front.”

The joke about incels is that they’ll blow up your phone with red flags, then freak out if they get anywhere near first base.

Sooner than you’d think.

each ‘incident’ can v easily have been explained

You hear this from serial sexual harassers all the time. Every individual incident has plausible deniability. It’s the trend line that eventually catches up with you.

your type are to tightly wound up

My type being… big budget advertisers on YouTube?

Not my area of expertise, so please tell me if the idea is complete garbage.

Turning a laptop battery into a weapon is a non-trivial endeavor. The absurdity of TSA was more their attempt to police based on weak science than the real danger of an airplane full of lithium battery powered devices.

hed did a bad thing that one time

Far more than the one time. He had a whole routine about exploiting overseas labor to perform humiliating stunts.

I think I was a little early for them.

Went to a speech by Bill Clinton and the Dalai Llama. By my (very distant) memory, both were dildo free.

I didn’t have time to fuck with the Riechwing trolls who came around campus starting in 2005, cause I was already a super-senior and just needed to wrap up a couple credits to graduate and get on with my life. Anne Coulter and her successors were already in my rear view mirror.

A drone listing is described in the seller’s catalogue as a “cruise missile” able to carry a 2kg warhead 30km

If you’re lucky, it’ll carry a 0.5kg warhead 10km. That’s assuming they don’t ship it with any missing pieces.

Not according to Wayne Gretzky

It is trivially easy to make effective shapes charges and energetics at home.

Safely?

If I wanted to, I could

You’ve got enough information to try to execute the above formula. Okay. And you’ve still got all your fingers after attempting this… more than zero times?

The drone parts and control surface actuation is by far harder and I say this as someone who has a professional background in computer science and software engineering.

Absolutely. We invented gunpowder centuries before we invented airplanes.

That said… as an anecdote, I had a friend who had a janitorial position. Cleaning a particularly stubborn toilet and dumped a bunch of bleach into the bowl. His coworker came in behind him and proceeded to piss in said boil, creating a toxic miasma that forced them to exit the restroom quickly and heavily ventilate it before returning.

“I could cook up some blasting caps with the trash from a frat party” is a theoretically believable claim.

“Every time I clean up a frat party, I add a dozen shaped charges to my inventory” is not.

Certainly possible. But you’re still stuck on the r² problem of diminishing returns at a distance. Light doesn’t like staying in a tight beam. The vortex loop is typically not much bigger than the wavelength. I don’t see much of a solution for transmitting energy long distances through air.

This is all American politics right now.

Two guys sneering “I bet you feel pretty owned right now. Well, I feel great, because I’m winning” as the boat sinks.

It would be possible to use it as an assassination tool.

Khojayev’s just-launched prototype has no effectiveness track record

I think

it’s more like a high speed burrito delivery device.

Is a more accurate assessment.

You can deploy a lot of $96 semi-effective hardware

I mean, time will tell. To date, this particular iteration of technology has a 0% success rate in doing anything but farming clicks.

If you want to pirate Brave Browser, I don’t think anyone will mind.

And why does it seem like they all hate Pewdiepie?

He took a fascist turn during Trump 1 and never really recovered his image. Got into a bunch of weird exploitative shit, not unlike Mr Beast. The most notable being when he tested the Fiverr service and paid five dollars to get Indian freelance actors to laugh and show a sign saying ‘Death to all Jews’.

After that, he started getting deplatformed and his following fell off considerably. So, like a bunch of other has-been YouTube starlets, he decided to get even more edgy and reactionary, further poisoning his image. It’s the same death spiral Russell Brand and Rob Schneider fell down.
