The Ukrainian army should just drop leaflets written in Korean that say "defect and we will feed you" I'm sure they'd all drop their weapons and run across no man's land.

That is weird and doesn't make sense.

Nope, I stay in the slow lane, unless my exit is in the left lane of course.

I leave enough room for me to have time to react and give the person behind me enough time to react to my breaking. Because most people drive way too close to avoid a rear-end collision if I have to slam my breaks for an emergency. Sometimes that means I'm 4, 5 or 6 car lengths away from the car in front of me, but that has the added benefit of pissing off tailgators who will almost immediately choose to pass me which works out great for me. The less space the person behind gives, the more space I leave between me and the person in front.

In my experience, slowing down to just below the speed limit will usually irritate these tailgators enough to shake them off. Your mileage may vary though.

I always imagined that it was due to a higher level of computer literacy amongst the consumer population. An hour after a corpo releases a new piece of tech under a subscription model, the software has been cracked and pirated all over the net.

Exactly this. we try to prevent cyberattacks as much as we can, but at a certain point, they're impossible to perfectly defend against without also totally locking down our users and making it impossible for them to do their jobs. so then the game becomes one of containing the amount of damage an attack can do.

Security is restriction. our job is to balance our users' ability to perform their jobs with acceptable levels of risk.

As an IT guy, I'd love to give software devs full admin rights to their computer to troubleshoot and install anything as they see fit, it would save me a lot of time out of my day. But I can't trust everyone in the organization not to click suspicious links or open obvious phishing emails that invite ransomware into the organization that can sink a company overnight.

I talked to some friends after the debate who claim to be independent and they said they still thought they both were terrible. I don't understand how anyone could equate Harris with Trump, especially after Jan 6

What do you mean? Caturday is every week between Friday and Sunday.

Here’s a short list of key policies and initiatives associated with Kamala Harris:

You're right, I was being selfish.
