    unless one also thinks that trump knew how to lead and defend a nation. then it starts to make sense.

    your argument has some basis in history, but as we all know, only the constitution is allowed to have the words set in the time period and not allowed to be adjusted to match the real world and changing language. chaplain was originally christian, but has since come to include any religion.

    i cut my internet teeth on this forum 20 years ago so to speak. i recall when i first got on here i had no idea how to act on the internet and learned how to effectively argue here. i really miss the old layout, it was what i judged every forum i ever visited against. i just wish i had been a licensed traveling jumper then to have met some of you in person. oh well, the vaccine has made me invulnerable to covid since i have o positive blood, so travel will commence when i can afford it now that i have an aad in my rig.

    i would think of it as a ratio, 1.2 lbs per 1 sq ft of canopy would be written as 1.2:1. i remembered that from a math course years ago, but i looked it up just to make sure. you have to hit definition to expand it.

    it doesn't matter what he meant, it matters very much what he said. fuck that pathetic piece of shit traitor.

    and miss out on all this fun spread out over three days? no way. too bad i have to work today and can't go jump...weather's been shit all weekend.

    one or two was the debate. the comment used none. zero. no spaces meaning it was all ran together. had he used one, i would have said nothing, nothing at all.

    had i been wrong, i would have admitted it. by using a writing style mandated by the college i attended, i was correct in my style until i graduated. then, having no knowledge of the change in my (now) preferred style, i still use two spaces, and will not resort to one, ever, as it makes no difference to anyone not grading my work. as for the hard to understand style, and confusing words, i still get paid for them sometimes, so will take all of the criticism with a handful of salt, laughing all the way to the bank. not much, and not often, but often enough to keep me at it. i appreciate the criticism, all of it. i'm going to ignore all of it, but i appreciate it nonetheless. back to the original comment that started it all, how many folks are working that account? based on writing style, i would guess two at least.

    apparently the classes that i had to take in college, the english ones that i almost aced with a 97 and 98 respectively, were bunk and wasted money then. i suppose i had better quit writing altogether. it seems that i was a product of the apa style, and since my last degree was in 2018, i had no idea that they changed the style to one space at the end in 2019. so, until oct 2019, i was very much correct using two spaces at the end of each sentence.

    i appreciate the feedback, and as i said, this is strictly amusement at this point. i like you guys and all, and am more than happy to jump and drink beer with any one of you, even brent, any time i see you. but all of this is nothing more than passing time, as nobody is really changing anyone's minds or solving a crisis. most of my classified information is dated and expired by now, and half of what i learned growing up were flat out lies. living in the age of propaganda, it is getting harder to learn anything new, and good luck keeping up with who is doing what to whom. i like reading, and sometimes participating in, the discussions, but you and i could both probably script one with a few well known contributors and any controversial topic. i hate this weekend, too emotional the older i get.

    spaces are still used, rather it be one or two. the post i referred to had none. i do believe that you also use at least one space in your sentences? i am most certainly not wrong, whether i am using a word processor (which i assure you i am not, as they are separate machines) or a typewriter since two spaces is acceptable. your opinion on the grammar is not accurate, and has nothing at all to do with composition.
  12. sfzombie13
    i would urge you to look up the difference between capitalization and grammar. with a few exceptions, as i am not perfect and do make the mistake every now and then, i have pretty good grammar. no capitals at ll since this is an informal place, and i have way too much formality to deal with on a daily basis to be bothered with it when i am amusing myself. i also have a tendency to think in german occasionally, so that messes with my sentence structure sometimes. add to that the fact i imbibe from time to time, and you have mistakes. side note: don't agree with someone who calls themselves stupid, you get the ban hammer. just fyi on the writing style you were wondering about...

    the only thing that changed 20 years ago was our reaction to what was going on in the world, since it came to us in a pretty disturbing way. we have been the root cause of the same thing for decades, if not centuries, around the world. as proof, when was the oklahoma city bombing, or how about the first attack on the wtc? one was a pretty big act of terrorism from a white guy, but not much happened from what i recall. i also recall not much being said about saudia arabia after that one. then let a few foreigners take out a building or two and all hell breaks loose and we go to war forever. yeah, still nothing on the saudis, but damn shame about iraq and afghanistan. it's nice that you think they were focusing on public safety before then, but that's only if you had the right skin color, or were in the right neighborhood.

    -- edited for personal attack — or at least not aware of how the spacebar works at the end of a sentence. it is used after a period twice, unless you're microsoft. makes speed reading easier also. don't they teach that in russian schools? i'm still not convinced you're not a paid troll at the farm over there.

    i found that had it been in the evening, i would have fell asleep. it has useful information, and was well put together, but the sound of the voice with that music is what got me.

    now, or at least feb 2020, i used my twic card to fly all the way to sfo and back. had just renewed my license, opted for the federal one, and they gave me a paper copy until it got mailed to me, in march. i used it for the rental, but the tsa laughed when i pulled it out. luckily, i had my twic on me.

    the reason i was told they were most likely useless in this situation in the first place was how deep they were embedded in the systems. nobody knows as of now, and it looks like it was from the solarwinds breach. that means the backups, while great for bringing the system back online, most likely still had the backdoor access that allowed the breach in the first place. my misunderstanding of what she said, and may still prove to be a problem sometime in the future. i've worked on several pipelines and at least one of them had indicators of someone in the system that i saw and reported. another had multiple security flaws that went unfixed even now, almost five years after i reported them. that is the absolute worst thing that could be done in this, or any other, case.

    go with the pi then, and an external hd. you can get the whole system for under $200.

    idiot burns down his car while smoking with a horde of gas in containers...florida man strikes again.

    i missed it then, thanx for that. i also read the study more closely and it looks to be misleading. something about two cases of it were there before they contracted covid.
  21. sfzombie13
    new study says covid can cause erectile dysfunction and is present in the penile tissue long after the infection goes away...maybe we will now see some of the "smarter" gop members (if there are any) advocating using masks and getting vaccines. i doubt it though.

    i would use a raspberry pi for this with a big hard drive attached to it, like maybe 3 or 4 tb. if you get two of the pi's, you can use one as a pihole, aka ad blocker that works for everything on the whole network. that is the ideal setup. you can get the whole thing for about $2-300, depending on the cost of the external hard drive. damn, just noticed how old this post is. what did you go with?

    said that they were entrenched firmly into the dc's and that by the time they knew about them, they had already established persistence and the backups would be tainted and bring them back in. normal when the attackers have been inside the network for a while undetected. these guys have been at it for a while. found this article on it. and just read an article that said the pipeline is starting back up now, so all the panic buyers can stay away from the gas station for a few days.
  24. sfzombie13
    i did find out that having good backups may not have mattered in this case. got that from an expert on dfir work. she is one of the best hackers on the planet.

    nice summary until this point. the ransomware never hit the pipeline controls, it hit the it system. they said they shut he pipeline down as preventative from getting it infected, but the reason was the it system was how customers paid for the gas. no computers, no way to tell who paid and who didn't. blame the cause of this one on not having a thorough backup system in place. all they would've had to do is restore from a backup and they would've been up in a day.
