What the fuck did I just trip upon?
That shit is hilarious!
OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944 (declassified)
Good memory, it was the precursor to the CIA.
Subterfuge at work, a fun subject to study.
Some of my favorites from a declassified WWII “simple productivity sabotage” manual:
Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable"and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.
When I first saw these I was like goddamn, psyops got to my executive director!
TempleOS has entered the chat.
They’re things on the road that take you to your abode.
“And there’s really cool people here!”
Get me a bucket, I’m gonna fucking puke.
It must smell so horrible in there, with all those brands (farts) mixing together.
And living this way isn’t new there, either, it’s an “evolution”.
I can recall a story over a decade ago about google employees renting uhaul trucks to live in, parked on the google campus parking lots. The same article also followed some engineers who were illegally living in rent-a-storage spaces.
So compared to that, it makes these pods look like luxury living, even though they’re all pretty depraved.
Being a software dev myself, I’ll gladly take a lower salary in a low cost-of-living city if it means I can own a house (and not be mortgage poor, either).
A speaker has never been ousted, either… till now.
If you buy OEM laptop, how would you sell subscription windows with it?
“SomeShittyAntivirus free for 12 months with purchase of this laptop!”

Not the term limits, the donations. The supreme court already rule via Citizens United that money is free speech, which is how PACs and dark money became legal. So to undo that, either the court has to reverse it (yeah right), or there has to be a constitutional amendment (which even the SC can’t overturn).
So she was previously selling “design” services, just not specifically for weddings.
“If we’re going to continue to have clowns like Matt Gaetz as part of the Republican conference, as part of this Congress, then you’re going to have to have rules in place that prevent him from doing his charade. Every single week, every single month, where he goes out and he does his thing where he creates some manufactured crisis” that he then uses to raise money, Graves said.
Can’t see the forest for the trees! Where do you think Matt learned it from?!
when he goes to take a shit. That’s when he’ll do it.
I’m pretty sure people aren’t allowed on their phones in the middle of court session That’s when trump shit his depends.
Lie with dogs, get flees.
And as the case is with the freedom caucus: Get in bed with them, get crabs (and gonorrhea, genital warts, syphilis, and whatever else Matt Gaetz has).
The first two and the last three are the same
I read that as “all five are the same”. And I’m like damn, don’t want to work in a slaughterhouse if that’s true for you!
Sometimes when I’m bored, I’ll do some google maps “tourism”, and just cruise the globe. One of those spots I’ve visited, is right at that tri-border with Russia, N. Korea, and China.
I always thought it was weird that China doesn’t have a direct shore/port on the Sea of Japan. It doesn’t really look like the Tumen River would cut it to give sea faring ships access either. Annexing Vladivostok would fix that.
Combustion is very high heat thousands of degrees F
Paper fire is about 1,500 F (though auto-ignition is lower at about 480 F). I think dry, fibrous plant matter is around the same.
Point taken though, vaporizing is significantly lower.
Essentially just setting your intake to -300 calories a day and spending a month in there.
It’s called meth.
Depending on where you live, and where your service resides, this could be tricky.
In the US, for instance, if you’ve chosen a provider in Australia, then a FVEY agreement could be in place to share that data. This gets around the technicality that intel gathering is not occurring on US soil and is not being done by the gov.
And again with the US, if you’ve chosen a country that’s not amiable to sharing user data, the US could very well be justifying that country as a target for pilfering data anyway.
So, that would leave choosing a service provider within the US, which should need to go through the FISA courts for any access to citizen data, but who knows after the Snowden revelations.
I guess that’s the state of privacy if you’ve got a nation state that’s targeted you for surveillance. Only way around it I can think of is data to be encrypted in transit and at rest, and only you control the keys. But that’s not something that’s going to happen with something like mainstream email anyway, too inconvenient for most folks (and you also don’t know if your recipients are security conscious either).
