Trump Extends Obama Executive Order On Cyberattacks [Flagged]
What?
I figure it's an editor thing... Submission had too many receivers down field or maybe Roughing the editor... Either way it's 15 yards and resubmit story so it will dup...
Oh look. An american saying his european trying to insult everyone. Lame.
A real European wouldn't be able to insult anyone, lest the authorities in Brussels turn him into a carbon fiber coffee table for sale at Ikea.
So they would turn him into a carbon fiber coffee table, and then dis-assemble him?!?! Dude, that's brutal! I hope he had one of those little wrenches in his pocket when they zapped him...
Yes, that is my own line, it fit really well for that night.
More than one super cell in the area, local weather channel showing doppler radar with hook echos playing hide and seek in red and blue... it's a pretty tight spiral when you get the max coming and going colors in the same little hook. A few times the wind hit the door so hard I thought it was going to give, I have no idea why the window on the same wall (facing west) didn't break.
I may have got three or four 15 minute naps, finally a couple hours just before dawn. And at first light I was out of there. Drove so fast I caught up with the squall line so I stopped to eat and let it pass me in the daylight.
I have been near tornadoes in the light of day, and seen it go pitch dark in ten minutes. I watched one beautiful white funnel form and drop to the ground and seen the dirt and debris turn it black in ten seconds. Same funnel (about a mile away) hit a 250 gallon propane tank and it looked like someone lit a match while already blowing it out. The whole thing is mesmerizing until it dawns on you that the thing is not moving left or right and is getting bigger, and louder. They say don't drive away, but it pretty compelling if you are out on the flat near a mobile home (aka "tornado bait"). So you, and everyone who sees what you see, drives. I'm talking instant one way highway, no one driving towards the thing. Rain drops the size of a quarter (someone said the thing had just passed over a lake) and a noise I never want to hear again. And all of that is so much better than being a sitting duck in the dark... in a room with a TV... for long time...
May you never have any encounters with this phenomena.
Walking Walter! Our heroic friends are in big trouble when their worst fears come to life in the form of a Walter White no longer constrained by a hazmat suit! Not only are the zombies faster, they now randomly disassemble formerly useful items, leaving piles of useless parts behind...
Can these "speed walkers" be stopped? Will the accidental discovery that the sound of a tattoo gun renders them motionless be enough to save our friends? Tune in to our exclusive new channel and find out!
It isn't even a theory though, as there isn't anything to support it.
There is no conclusive proof, but there is plenty of evidence that the universe is a simulation. In many ways, the universe appears to be designed to be easy to simulate. If you were designing a universe simulation, what would you do?
1. Due to limited computational resources, the simulated universe would be granular or "quantum".
2. To limit computation, reality would be held in a fuzzy probabilistic "superposition" state until it is actually observed, similar to how a GPU running OpenGL will skip the generation of hidden polygons.
3. The maximum speed of information transfer would be finite, to limit the propagation of changes through the universe.
All of these are actually true in our universe, ergo, we are very likely a simulation.

No No No!!! You have to build one big COSMIC BONG and nail everyone on earth at the same time... That way it's a fair race to the snack aisles of the world! I know, you say "What about those brave souls serving on submarines?" Well, They can surface, breathe deep, and head for the snack isles of the world!
Wait... Are you saying that Alexander Hamilton DIDN'T break into song about the million things he hadn't done and how he wasn't going to throw away his shot?
Not sure he was Puerto Rican either.
He was born a little bit east of there, St. Kitts & Nevis...

It's cruel to make porpoises have to use a garage door remote. They don't even have fingers to use the phone app.
So they need to use a flipper phone?
Not the Liberation Army of Punctuation?
Splitters!
Didn't that change to the Peoples Punctuation Army?
Oh, no, never mind. He's sitting right over there...
Splitter!!!
Will we need a pedantry vigilante soon?
This is just a start. Wait until the rise of the P.L.A.!
Yes, the Punctuation Liberation Army will change everything!!!

Let's not leave out North Texas, which sucks so prolifically that all the trees in Oklahoma lean south...
Let's not forget that it seems to attract tornadoes too!
I spent a month in an Amarillo motel room one stormy night...
In had to double check the article, I couldn't believe an editor would fuck up something as basic as Krebs's name.
No it's really Brian Kerbs. He's an expert on the interface between road and pavement/sidewalk.
Get your mind OUT of the gutter!

That's the whole point of drawing a false parallel and then appling reductio ad absurdum, right?
