@OminousHallways A crunchy cookie is an overdone cookie. But, I’m a 40 year old dad so “cool” is a thing of my past. 😂
@ravenski I’m 100% fine with being wrong about that. I’ve never wanted to be wrong about anything more in my life. And, I freely admit that I’m not an expert in that field. I’m just some guy reading the same news as most of the rest of us.
@VelvetDuchess That's scary. Sorry that happened to you.

@deadweirdo As someone who reached 40 at the end of last year, can confirm.
@OminousHallways Check out @CoSoTips for answers to most of your questions. If you can't find an answer to something, just ask. Welcome!
@Shannonpaws Things like this are why I keep my laptop cameras covered when I'm not actively using them.

Meet the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Maybe it'll get here by 2024!

"Lunar soil sample analysis has revealed an abundance of iron-rich and titanium-rich substances on the moon’s surface. Combined with sunlight and electrolyzed water – extracted from the moon and astronauts’ breathing exhausts – these compounds could work as the perfect catalyst to make oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons that could be used as a fuel."
@etakeh Same. It's something I never would have bought for myself, but the guy who owned my house before me had a projector and a sound system in the living room. He asked me if I wanted it, because he was planning out a brand new system for his new house. So of course I told him to just leave it all right where it was. It's pretty much the greatest thing ever.

@Clotho This right here is why I don't give my boss access to our team's things.
@SaltyVeruca Just my own opinion, but I'd suggest trying to hashtag everything. There is no algorithm to preemptively sort things for us here (a good thing) so the best way we have to filter is on words, phrases and hashtags. Of those, hashtags are the most effective because we can agree on tags with exact matches.

Sincere question: what topics do we consider politics hashtag worthy?
@GlytchMeister Mine is similar, but I know it's due to all the security junk they have installed running in the background. It idles at about 60C. 🔥

@1_SteelMagnolia Not sure what you're into, but my wife and I just re-watched One Punch Man and it's delightful.

The End of Roe Will Bring About a Sea Change in the Encryption Debate
US law enforcement officers and agencies have shown us with their own actions that they don’t deserve any deference whatsoever in discussions about encryption policy. They aren’t entitled to any presumption of legitimacy. They are just another one of the threats that encryption protects people from. With the demise of Roe, we can no longer ignore that the same is also true of American laws.

@JRMFL I’m honestly surprised we’re not having a Puppers right now.
@davastewart I'm not saying it's been all bad, but even the fun times are exhausting. I don't know where he gets all that energy from. It's incredible to see.
