Apropos of nothing, a reminder that youth smoking was well on its way out until vaping came along

This toot brought to you by all the time I spent explaining to the kid that you can’t call one thing odd between two things, you need at least 3 data points.
The big guy just sighed and the left the room
I never realized before how I am that boring and exhausting. I’m sorry, world

Probably should've worked on the radio spot script before you got there, but at least someone proof-read it.
Oh okay, so the paramilitary guys are racists, that's just great.
Oh good, Charlie noticed the structural integrity issues. Too bad he's also infected.
I feel like this is yet another horror movie situation where face masks would go a long way. And safety glasses or splatter shields.
I don't think that's how electrical cabling works, but it was the 80s and also I am not an electrician. Good thing everyone was far away enough that arcing wasn't an issue!
@Crissy happy to be feeling the ❤️rather than all that suction. It doesn’t look comfortable at all! Thanks for the solidarity 🙂🙂🙂
@renudist hello, friend. It is actually not painful, and doing it for the after effects of feeling good and looking better. Hope ur having a lovely weekend!
I want to compete on American Ninja Warrior but only in the part where they eat pizza in a sewer.
@Alice Alice in a half shell!
Yes, please do be aware of where you're pointing a gun, Guy Who Is Allegedly Good At Guns. Sheesh.
Wait did they get there in taxis? That they were paying for? Why is that absurdly funny to me.

Noozhawk: Panicked Sea Lions Damage SLO County Gondola — 100-Year-Old Heirloom Lost
A large colony of sea lions had shimmied onto the dock and gondola to hide from orcas swimming near the bay

@ai6yr "... but sea lions? I could do without sea lions.."
huge SHA lore drop https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-46035-7_11
SHA-1 [FIP95] designed by NSA and published by NIST was also based on the design of MD4. The round functions of SHA-1 are exactly the same as those of MD4
MD4 being the one even more broken than MD5, from ron rivest "the backdoor guy"
Recently SHA-256 and SHA-512 [FIP01] were proposed to keep up with possible future applications where longer message digests are required. They have almost the same basic components, except that SHA-256 operates on eight 32-bit words, while SHA-512 operates on eight 64-bit words.
LMAO
@hipsterelectron There's a reason I've been side-eyeing SHA-2 since long before the SHA-3 competition. "We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"

Normally the answer to headline questions is "no". This is one of the exceptions, in my opinion:
"Over 170,000 Nonprofits Lost All Their Data. Is Microsoft to Blame?"
TL;DR Microsoft decided to wind down its free nonprofit licenses for 365 and other products after 12 years, beginning July 2025, resulting in unrecoverable data loss.
