The funny thing to me is that, from what I saw, Musk didn't even inhale properly, again making it a pointless exercise. He didn't get high, and got a shitload of negative publicity - for not getting high! He seems quite good at shooting himself in the foot right now.
I was earning £70k a year at 37 (not great, but definitely not bad. I was more than comfortable). They couldn't wait to can my arse over someone who would suck more dick and stand up for themselves less.
If the younger generation are so shit hot, they don't need social programs, do they? Or maybe they just have new and different issues to us GenX+ types.. and by the way, none of us older people purposefully fucked things up, we're as guilty of being lied to as everyone else.
The (admittedly) short clip I saw showed him pulling on the joint and immediately exhaling from his mouth. Didn't look like it went anywhere near his lungs. Amateur!
My bank here in the UK used to provide a standalone reader that you had to put your banking card and PIN in in order to generate a time limited token per login. Once smartphones became almost ubiquitous they moved it to an app, which is what I now use. No system is ever 100% secure, but I feel quite comfortable using it. They even have the option to use the old (air-gapped) hardware if you don't trust the integrity of your phone or phone OS, but I don't know how much longer they will continue to support that.
that a company so legendary for its recruitment practices, would let people who would fall for phishing scams join in the first place. Time to reapply!
Lost the valuable contents of a flash drive 10 years ago due to not doing this (still on XP at the time I think). My brother thought I was an idiot for 'ejecting' a drive when I mentioned it a short while later as he had 'never had a problem just yanking it straight out' - good for him - I lost two days work. Interesting to note Win10 doesn't seem to offer the option anymore so (not being an OS guy) I wonder whats changed in that respect?
Currently being downvoted to oblivion elsewhere for saying this in the last hour, but fuck Facebook, fuck Twitter. Shut them down immediately, and without question. For the greater good. Sorry if you feel like you are a 'responsible user' but the vast majority of the users are not. And I can do without them pissing in my Cornflakes anymore.
As a Brit, I agree. He wasn't that funny then when he stopped getting airtime over here. Come to think of it, neither did James Corden. Why do you keep picking up our second rate comedians? (Cough - Benny Hill)
The problem with John Oliver is that he is very much one of the back-slapping media types who think just because they have a 'platform' and an audience that are told to laugh at their jokes, that they have an actual point. Sometimes they really do, sometimes they don't. Being constantly 'virtuous' does not necessarily make you right, and acting in a smug way on camera will also lose you the people you really DO want to win over. You end up with an echo chamber because everyone you pander to stays and no-one else does.

'Snake their way out of paltry taxes' was a typo. Remove the word 'paltry' before you shit your pants and have a stroke.
I'm not Creimer though, my tits only come down to my knees!
Even if it also gave me head rubs and sucked my dick I'm not buying a Huawei phone.
I was putting out white label dance records in the early 90's, and all my airplay came from crackly AM pirate stations - good times!

I was under the impression musicians make the vast bulk of any cash they do make from live work and merch and not recordings any more, anyway?
Aaah, the good old 'analogue hole'
It can't power itself on the bullshit it creates, a perpetual motion machine right there!

Slightly related, reminded me that someone recently wrote a version of Snake in Z80 using LD instructions exclusively!
In EE, not political science or the like. Yes, I can think for myself.
Have a first class degree - he isn't that funny.
Some cunts got points. How is commenting about John Oliver in a John Oliver thread 'Offtopic'??

This is real end of thread stuff, folks.
Of all the places to see a Claudia Winkleman reference, I never thought it would be here.
As a long time (now ex) FAE for one of the top FPGA manufacturers and slightly longer /. reader - this is poor. Really poor.
It's about who controls the information.
