  • We helped pay for Sesame Street in the middle east because it’s super effective pro-Western-Culture propaganda. Seriously can’t have a better investment than we had there.

    Oh the other children’s programming is funded by generous support from…the Taliban…soooo, good job giving them a monopoly on kids minds? How you think that’ll play out in 5-10 years when they are old enough for war?








  • Security and messaging is tricky to get right. Government uses a lot of COTS stuff because it’s easier to have someone to sue when shit goes south.

    That’s not to say that everything involved here isn’t a flagrant violation of every protocol and procedure involved in protecting classified information. It is.


  • On my car, the actuator that unlatches the door is electronic and apparently can get “stuck”, keeping the door from opening more than a crack.

    Fortunately this most recent time I figured out how to fix it, by jamming a screwdriver in there and prying it open. But even then I had to disconnect the battery for a few minutes after to reset the door system. Why things gotta be so complicated? Why can’t the latch mechanism be cable driven like, ya know, every other car.

    Also there’s nothing to grab hold of to shut or open the door from the inside. So I think a manual door conversion isn’t possible. But worth looking into for the future.
