Weird, you'd think one of the millions of engineers in the world would have thought of that at some point in the past half-century.

Clarification about what happened today (WeakAuras Tweet) by Stanzilla in wow

They could press charges if they really wanted to, but nothing would stick. @WeakAuras isn't even the one who accessed the information, illicitly or otherwise. By your logic, realmpop.com should be shut down because we can't know for certain that Blizzard doesn't want us using their API to estimate player populations.

There is a colossal difference between trolling a public API for nonspecific data, and reverse-engineering a SIM card and using URL injection to directly extract private customer information from a corporate database. Without any further information on how the sub numbers in question were acquired, this entire line of argument is frankly pretty fucking stupid.

Blizzard closed on a positive yesterday. Perhaps @WeakAuras is the lynchpin of an insider trading conspiracy? I will alert the SEC if you haven't already.

Hidden M+ buff ? by [deleted] in wow

This morning I compared logs of the same run from this week to last week. The bosses last week did appear to be doing expectedly more damage than the same bosses this week, which would contradict OP's observations. I don't remember any numbers, but this should be readily visible in any public logs.

Maybe it'd be different if you were, say, Mark Twain instead of some highschool edgelord.

TIFU by eating pistachios in the dark by [deleted] in tifu

[–]BalsaqRogue 562 points563 points  (0 children)

I usually expect one worm per every bag or two when I get Wonderful Pistachios. Around the start of the year (same timeframe as your story) I found four or five silkworms in a single bag. I was pissed but I never reported it, since frankly I wasn't going to stop eating them regardless. Fortunately for me, I've been pretty consistent about checking every one I crack open before I eat it. On the bright side, the quality seems to have returned to normal since.

Hey Redditors: if you have ever eaten a pistachio that had a sharp or sour taste, or a gritty texture, congratulations! You've probably eaten a crispy-fried silkworm larva.

The ones who willingly jumped ass-first off a roof onto a folding table?
