He didn't leak, he published.

That's what's so concerning about the case. The USA tried to persecute an Australian citizen working out of the EU for publishing information.

If precedent was set they could kidnap anyone from sovereign countries based on US law

I don't care that someone lied on the internet, that made me laugh loudly in public

Anonymous sex in bathrooms has become almost nonexistent in my city since Grinder.

I'm sure there are a few beats left, but nothing like it used to be.

Dogging seems to have picked up, but I assume the married are organising these affairs online.

It's honestly a bit boring, eat your veggies, eat well, exercise, socialise, don't poison yourself

Can't he just convert and upload a torrent?

Screw the BBC, archive everything.

I got real excited to learn the physics of a nuclear gravity bomb.

We have gotten to the point in modernity where so many bombs are technologically guided we must define bombs which fall, and are guided by, the force of gravity.

I am accessing the NHL tv streaming site geoblocked from a country who has limited interest in hockey (hence no fighting amongst SN, ESPN, etc.).

Trying to access all games has been a nightmare to do through official companies. How's your experience been?

Ignoring the joke.

A metric cup is 250 ml.

250 ml = 250 g (the density of water is intentionally 1.000 g / ml)

Water ~= 18 g/mol ( H 1.008 g/mol, O 16.something g/mol)

250 g / 18 g/mol = 13.8 mol

13.8 mol * 6 * 10^23 atoms/mol = 8.33 * 10^24 molecules of water

And there are two atoms of H in one molecule of water, so 1.66*10^25 atoms of hydrogen in a glass of water.

That's a lot

Is this a joke? 4chan is the origin of candy ass censorship, it enforced coded slurs

Hi all, I'm reaching out to the community to help with the design of a hex clock.

I'm honestly very lost on where to start. My current plan is to buy some gears and make a large monstrosity which is unlikely to fit on a wall. Does anyone have a more elegant suggestion?

It's following the general design of a clock with two main differences:

  1. There are 256 seconds in the second hands rotation.
  2. There are 4 hands, the 4th of which measures ~136 years in a rotation.

Very uncommon. Arguably one of the most disturbing comedy's ever made.

Meet the Feebles is a 1989 musical comedy produced and directed by The Lord of the Rings mastermind Peter Jackson. The film is set behind the scenes at a Muppet Show-like theatrical company, and it nods to The Muppet Movie with its story about raggedy puppet entertainers dreaming of making it big. Except in Meet the Feebles, most of the puppets are diseased, drug-addicted, and / or sexually perverse. Jackson, his partner Fran Walsh, and fellow New Zealand weirdos Danny Mulheron and Stephen Sinclair collaborated on a screenplay that weaves together about half a dozen subplots; the most prominent involves the talented hippopotamus Heidi, whose lover (and the troupe’s impresario) Bletch is cruelly dismissive and adulterous. As the Feebles prepare for the show that could be their big break, their personal problems start to spill over onstage.

Didn't someone figure out how the hashing worked and hen everyone was able to predict the last number?

Wish I remembered what year it became common knowledge

There has been a shoot out between police and someone in Clarkson starting at 12 today (Wed 13 sept).

Please post any information if you have it. My partner is in the area and unable to leave. Estimates are that this will continue and the roads may be blocked west of the freeway as you head home.

Stay safe all and avoid the area.

The foreign policy and defence session and all attention is on whether AUKUS debates will be publicly aired or smoothed over in backrooms beforehand.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his allies are reportedly seeking to appease elements of the party hostile to the security pact.

On Monday, partly leaders broadcast the idea of an AUKUS a ‘statement in detail’ on AUKUS, which would ensure the nuclear submarines promised under the deal would be constructed in Australia by a well-paid unionised workforce.

Does Australia really have a choice?

Since when did we stand up to the demands of the UK or the USA? Will we be seeing another Gough Whitlam, a Kevin Rudd - quickly moved as side at the first sign of descent - or the stock standard: a revolving door of Bob Hawk's and slimy, weak polli's?

Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon are some of the largest and most powerful firms in the global economy. Their size, value and the wealth of their founders raise serious concerns for distributive justice. To address these concerns, as well as the threats these firms pose to political liberties, perhaps we need to change how data is ‘owned’.

I have to be in the minority of sane people who enjoyed this book.

To be fair, I had no context and read the first 10 pages assuming it was satire. The rest of the experience was bizarre. In the first chapter the main character ignores the advice of the train employees and orders the train to run despite the signal being red. It's touted as taking responsibility when none else would. Utterly insane to me that someone who had been out of the area for decades, making management level decisions, would decide they know better than the worker on the ground who does the job daily. The contempt and arrogance leading to destruction - a great critique of management structure and survivor bias. How is it not satire?

Through the looking glass with a self important free capitalist narcissist, with almost no experience of the world and commerce outside their bubble, self hating tirade against perceived inability. Fascinating stuff

Are we interpreting the humor as the absurdity of asking identity questions on a form for no reason OR silly trans, there be only two genders?

Up / down vote me respectively, I am curious how often these sort of posts appeal to all sides of the spectrum with different groups interpreting he humor.

Sex work is real work.

Independent workers should be able to compete with larger corps under their own conditions.

Yay fediverse

Southeast Asia begins to meet their growing demand for beef. Heralding in more feedlots, cattlefeed farming, land degradation, phosphate overgrowths and greenhouse gas emotions.
