Yeah, as someone who doesn't get paid to do security, but does it anyway because it is their passion....

Dad is on the right side of things. Hijacking a phone connection like that is fucking HARD. I've been studying hacking since Zork.

While spelling out your email and password phonetically is a pain, its fairly secure.

To pedants: I said fairly, no one under observation from a three letter agency should use this.

I'd like to report that the more specialized a medical doctor is, the less common sense they have.

Had a doctor chew me out because he couldn't be bothered to simply turn the computer on.

That was the issue. Pushing a button was beneath him. Cool man, I'm the only one here at this hour and the phones have to be manned constantly. That ticket can go to another department and wait until they come in morning.

Also, low priority and I noted that the doctor refused to simply turn it on.

I think that ticket sat there for over a month.

Blatant fascism from the GOP nominee? Who would have guessed?

Yes, Trump is a problem. But the problem runs deeper.

If not Trump, another useful idiot.

Black Isle Studios.

Hands down, no contest.

If you're looking for a name, Chris Avallone. Planescape: Torment and fucking New Vegas.

I only have one tattoo, and it is the Rune of Torment. That piece of art touched me.

As a Texan, in a purple area, this doesn't surprise me from Oklahoma.

I had the displeasure of driving through OK to get to my late father in law's hospital bed before he passed.

I ended up blowing through a toll entry because they didn't accept paper money or cards. Just coins. I went to the little building to try to pay my way, and it appeared to be abandoned.

Mother fuckers, I can buy a legal variant of weed with my fucking watch. Coins? Join this century please.

My expectations of Bethesda, since Oblivion, has been as a mod platform.

Gimme a new engine with updated graphics and great mod support and let the community does what it does best.

Speaking of animal shampoo, me and the wife rescued some pups and they had issues...

Too young for flea/tick shampoo, but we found a hippy organic shampoo that just smelled like the best of the fall season. Took care of the fleas/ticks, and we kept it around for general dog bathing for the smell. It was amazing, lol.

I don't find myself "engaged," I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.

There is a reason I've mostly played single player games for the past decade.

I was tired of the "seasons" and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I'd be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.

For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.

But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.

I've lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.

Spanish finds it's way into my everyday speech constantly.

My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.

I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.

While I'm not fluent, I've worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.

The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.

Is that irritating?

This does not apply to electronics. You want that 99% to leave as little moisture as possible.
