how the FUCK does someone in the middle of overtaking someone else not see oncoming traffic going crazy with their flasher and think to themselves "hmm, maybe i should abort this overtake"
in other news i almost got fucken ded on the road
I ran an audit on the camera.
Between me taking evasive and them returning to their lane, 1½ seconds exactly had passed.
Between them returning to their lane, and them passing me (who was braking and regaining control of the car), 37 frames had passed.
My camera records 30 FPS
If I hadn't have slowed and/or dove off the road (which had no paved edge, by the way), we'd have had a bad wreck

Okay. Cyber security from someone who is absolutely not an expert in cyber security:
- Use passphrases, not passwords.
- Complexity requirements should be used in moderation
- Forced expiration should not exist
- Password length maximums should be at least 64 characters
First up, passphrases. Passphrases tend to be longer than regular passwords, but easier to remember. Because they're longer, computers have to take longer to crack 'em if you brute-force it.

Because they're easier to remember, you run less of a risk of people writing them down.
Getting far more political than I usually do for a minute:
America, as a country, as a whole, is no better than Germany was in 1939.
I do not make this comparison lightly. I am of German descent and have heard the jokes many times over.
Let me explain:
We have concentration camps along the border. (Not death camps [yet], but concentration camps by definition.)
Of course, we have to call them a different name because they're supposedly different from the concentration camps of the 1940s. They're "ICE Detention Centers" now.
We are deporting and confining minorities, as well as blocking immigration of undesirables.
In 1940, they deported (fact check?) and confined the Jewish and Romani, and blocked immigration thereof.
Now it's the Latinos/Latinas that we deport, and the Mid-Easterns that we block.
In case you thought I was joking about the fucking Farmville slot machine theme...
This was the link my manager sent out. We're getting two of them to replace a high-coin-in game
This is probably going to be a big hit for the first week only, if that. It looks too volatile at start (pay a lot, stop paying a while; rather than a consistent win/loss pattern) and there's very little that's self explanatory; you'd have to go into the game rules
