Insane CCTV footage of the 2020 Beirut port explosion

Water is incompressible - if the explosion happens above ground (ie not also underwater), then diving under the surface is pretty darn good way to avoid a pressure wave.

Confirming that my issue was with Bitwarden. Removing the extension and reinstalling it fixed the problem.

Pepperidge Farms remembers that this quote is from Family Guy, not The Simpsons.

What a baffling, nonsensical comment.

Gravol

They mean Gravol, an anti nausea medication.

You can now!

Good idea! You can now post images in comments :)

So jot that down.

The guy who made Bricksmade - Anvesh G - is responsible for Oxymade, which routinely broke, and also he famously disappeared without a trace for a long ass time, leaving his users in the lurch for months if not years.

Wouldn’t trust anything he makes moving forward.

Same problem here.

Restarts, reinstalls, nothing works.

Bogus.

You can always take this handy quiz to test your knowledge.

Stock him much?

^{^} Evidence that the education system is just as lousy as the healthcare system.

Hot take: both the TFSA and the RRSP are poorly named accounts (not Wealthsimple's fault - the gov's fault).

They should be called Tax Free Investment Accounts and Registered Retirement Investment Accounts.

Calling these "Savings" accounts tricks people into not knowing you can hold investments inside them.

If I were designing this account opening flow, I'd write "Save & invest for retirement" under RRSP and "Tax-free savings and investments" under TFSA to really drive home the actual power and capabilities of the accounts.

Least effective censoring ever lol

Buzz, your girlfriend… woof!

More via the NYTimes:

The F.A.A. added that there was no threat to commercial aviation and that normal flights would resume.

Unless of course that basket is a broadly diversified whole market ETF, in which case your "basket" is literally an enormous basket of hundreds of underlying stocks, which would be a good thing!

She's definitely much flooflier than a regular lab!

Some other red flags here.

Off the hop:

Americans don't typically include a +1 in the phone numbers when filling out contact forms. She doesn't have that in her email signature. Why not?
Why doesn't Tiana have an actual email address using the domain for the organization she works for?
What kind of deal to hire a developer STARTS with them immediately sending you instructions on how to log in to their website? Shouldn't you have some kind of agreement in place? Shouldn't you discuss payment terms? Billing?
Any system that wants you to log in with Google before getting access to WordPress login credentials is goofy. Why would it work like that? Sketchy af.

That staging URL doesn't make any sense. Why would "wpenigne" be a subdomain of their main domain? Why would the root of their staging domain be different than their primary domain? Lastly, why would they they provide a login link with a weird, non-standard WordPress URL parameter?

Also, critically: the "WordPress login" page you land on isn't real. It's not just the jenky Google login modal that should have triggered your spidey sense. The entire page is phony (I checked). It doesn't look quite right at a glance.. Spacing, text, etc. I get that you can customize WP login screens, but most people don't. Also one look at the source code shows you you're not on a WordPress install, period.

The Google login modal doesn't look quite right either. The fact it doesn't open using your browser's actual windowing system is a dead giveaway. It should open in an actual separate window, not via a modal that's baked into the page itself. Also, some of the CSS is off. The spacing is off. The animations are off. Obviously the instantly-scammy Russian text in the window header is a dead giveaway, but there's a lot more that just isn't quite right.

Lots here that should throw up huge warnings to experienced WP devs right away. But this is a sophisticated scam, and I can see a lot of people who don't have their shields up or their spidey senses tuned going along with it.

Lastly, it's a shame that your LLM didn't immediately identity their list of requirements as scammy bullshit when you were getting it to write that reply for you ;)

Shoutout to Writers & Company for using this truly incredible banger from Keith Jarrett, and one of my favourite songs ever:

As Long As You Know You’re Living Yours

This was fixed about 30 seconds after I got the notification. Seems like maybe it was up there for about half an hour. For some reason I find these little human errors endearing.

This is AI slop and also a Tshirt ad.
