I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people!

Would be gratified to see a male, David Lee Roth, added to the whistle register examples! (Edit: or James Brown)

I agree. Will add

Could probably just add Mike Patton to all the sections lol

4th Amendment, unreasonable search. And of course the 2nd, but the former is more worrying. Also if printing is speech, then you can add the 1st to the list as well.

The 4th amendment has probably been the most eroded of all the major private liberty amendments, in my opinion. It is, at this point, a pretty worn fig leaf.

Eyes on the prize, friend, and don't capitulate prematurely.

The problem is, nobody is willing to use 2nd amendment rights to defend other amendments.

Right, so they can't use the blocked print as cause to get other evidence. Or if they do it is excluded.

Reminds me of people who think penultimate is just super-duper-ultimate.

Or “epicenter”.

All prefixes eventually become intensifiers?

"Irregardless"

The grammatically correct version is "Irredisregardless".

You almost have to do this, or buy a used one at a markup, as nobody seems to make them anymore (except circular ones).

Still available in Germany („Rechenschieber“), eg https://www.wissenladen.de/products/der-rechenschieber

Following a post on HN a few weeks ago, I bought a used one to use in the kitchen for scaling recipes. It has to be a linear one for that, not circular, so you can set it and read it without touching it again. I also have one in my "apocalypse kit" in case of, I dunno, an EMP?

My dad was an engineer in the slide rule era and taught me how to use one when I was a kid. He said when he was in college all the engineering students had them hanging from their belts in leather sheaths like gladiator swords and they would slap when they walked.

Are we supposed to ignore announcements of documented compromises then? Or are you saying compromised software is the safest of all?

Probably true, but to get the job in the first place you probably need some sort of showy, impressive credentials.

It's an awkward headline that, when read a certain way, says the opposite of what it means.

They're not complaining on the bus...

A bus isn't going to fall out of the air and land in the ocean. A bus isn't going to be hijacked and flown into the top of a building.

And the fact is that there's been some level of security since the 1970s or thereabouts after a fair number of hijackings. Any serious debate is about restrictions around liquids/knives/etc. (Some of which related to isolated incidents like the shoe bomber and others of which seem like pretty clear overreach--like I can't bring a hiking pole in carryon.)
