  • I am curious about your view. Can you point to anything specific? We all know he made a big investment into Framework and he was a fanboi of that company for a while.

    There are some very real constraints around how LTT can review laptops now. Any promotional work (reviews, status updates, etc.) that LTT does for Framework is easily framed as such based on video context.

    I am genuinely curious about this and your point of view. Why? I am not a huge fan of deception or otherwise shady practices that would illegally harm competitors.

    You didn’t answer a very specific question: Have you been to Chicago or do you live in Chicago?

    Understanding your perspective on a question is important to answering a question.

    Stop accusing others of deflection, when you are not giving supporting information. Now quit being defensive and answer any other questions people may have.








  • The root cause is usually a weak lower esophageal sphincter. Water creates additional pressure in the stomach which causes acid reflux. For me anyway, this is only an issue if I haven’t eaten, drink water and then lay down. (It’s the laying down bit that is probably key.)

    Eating non-junk, low acid foods actually helps relieve some heartburn for me in some cases.



  • To elaborate, is there a specific cause of the disability (autism would be an example) and does it affect specific aspects of your life (reading or writing or both, etc…)?

    Asking about the “type” is more contextual. Admittedly, it may not appear to make sense at first glance. (Example: https://neurolaunch.com/intellectual-disability-types/ ; Other sites may use “type” but give different examples or conditions.)

    Edit: FWIW, my ADHD (and I also suspect autism) is the cause of my own intellectual disabilities. I am not considered “stupid” by any means, but I do have a wide range of quirks: Focus, task completion, organization, planning, hyperactivity, memory issues and past substance abuse being among them.



  • They have kinda always been a thing. Nazi’s were just one flavor of nationalist, after all.

    Charles de Gaulle defined nationalism best: “Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.”

    For most people, it’s extremely easy to blame others for problems of their own creation. By the same token, people who can’t see their own shortcomings will also usually latch on to leaders who are able to amplify that bias. For the Nazis, it was mostly against the jews.

    Also, what you are seeing in the news is partially amplified by the news itself but also, politicians are getting more brazen in mustering the support of those groups. This has lead to people being a little more open about something that needs to stay taboo, IMHO.



  • You can find payload lists out there in the wild. Here is a repository filled with them: https://github.com/payloadbox

    We use lists like these, which are generally benign, to test websites for vulnerabilities. My theory is that the software they use to manage these text messages is probably web based and not designed for this kind of input. XSS like this, if executed, could cause an endless stream of popups on their side similar the days of the wild wild web. It’s not going to hurt anything, but they won’t want to reference my text logs any more.

    Obviously, there are a ton of caveats. Depending on how the message is secured in transit, your carrier might block it. I dunno as I have never worked in the mobile security space. You might piss your own phone off. You might break your own message histories…

    There are a ton of unknowns, btw. I personally don’t give a fuck about any of them.
