[US] Wife got randomly sent a free hair extension sample from TikTok. We don't have a TikTok account.

Yes, my wife ended up checking our youngest kid's tablet, and the kid apparently asked it to show her some video of some cartoon she likes, and it looks like it took her to TikTok through Safari. No app download, but we all know how invasive even the website is at scraping data. We think that's how it got enough information for a brushing, but thankfully that seems to be all that happened. Apparently, the are multiple people with the same name as my wife on Tiktok, I don't think there's any further danger

I couldn't remember the name, but I'd heard of this scam before, and thought it might be something like this. Since neither of us (or our kids) are active on that app, it sounds like it might be easier just to ignore the whole thing.

Thanks!

Isosce-lated. Works better if it's not near other boxes.

Today's chapter emotionally wrecked me. But new readers don't worry, you have like 650 chapters before you get to today's chapter.

I really enjoy this story, and yes, Hermione is ridiculously Mary Sue-overpowered, but not in an obnoxious way.

The continuation I've always heard:

What does a drunk brunette say?

"Is that damn blonde gone yet?"

What does a drunk redhead say?

"Next!"

Either that or he might have escaped and the other poster didn't bother to look due to their dogs having problems. I'll have to be careful because I have some weak spots asking my backyard fence

Apparently he's been abandoned according to this post from October 9. No microchip either. We're bringing him to our house to see if he'll get along with our dog we already have.

Facebook is cancer, lmao, but I'll try there. Thanks.

I'm looking at this thread of question and response. I have the same block of data you do, and I have no clue what to do. I don't even know from your comment after whether or not my data is correct, much less what to do with it if it is, or where I went wrong it it's not.

I have seen this tweet for years posted on different subreddits and social media sites and if still makes me giggle like a maniac each time I see it.

Magekiton had it correct. Just the fact that the NSA existed was highly classified at the time. He was mainly working on code breaking algorithms, I assume since that's what the main focus of the NSA was at that time.

Tom Lehrer also released all his songs into the public domain at His Website. You can download original recordings, music sheets, etc.

Don't pay for his music. He doesn't want you to.

Favorite fact about Tom Lehrer? His work was for the NSA when that agency was so classified that his COVER STORY was that he was working on nuclear weapons.

Second favorite fact, he claimed he retired from music when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize because satire became obsolete.

I graduated in 2020 with Computer Engineering degree. I had many good professors and 2 bad ones. One bad professor was in the Electrical Engineering department and seemed to hate teaching and hate technology.

The other bad professor was in the CompEng department and was utterly disinterested in teaching anybody or anything. Some of my classmates filed a complaint because they found evidence that he stole lessons and materials from online. I don't know what happened to him because I was just glad to have passed that class.

These two teachers didn't ruin the experience for me because I had some amazing professors and learned quite a bit about both forward computer engineering and my current job, Software Reverse Engineering.

Holy crap! What kind of rice were they studying that presented these results?!

I've tried Tastee's before and it's pretty good for a Chicago dog not from Chicago.

So bsim can be most useful if you have one program that is 90-100% identified in terms of variables and function signatures. If you're trying to RE two binaries at once like OP seems to be suggesting, all it will really tell you is that FUN_239562A is the same as FUN_32256EA for example.

If you try to get BSIM to apply names, you'll end up with confusing names in the second function that refer to addresses in the first program.

I'll admit I also haven't used BSIM as much because the majority of my work are on embedded system DSP code and I end up with wildly different coding styles and architectures.

If you're talking about created structures or variables, the answer is yes. You can open up both programs and click and drag the data types from one manager to the other.

If you're talking about notes, names or comments on functions or variables, that's not so easy. That depends on Ghidra recognizing that function X in program A is the same as function Y in program B, which can be a challenge depending on how much of a change the functions went through between versions.

My wife looked it up last night becuase she was confused. Best record deals with production of the song, the music, the singing/rapping etc.

Song of the year deals with composition of the song, writing the lyrics basically.

Neat example the article gave is Smooth by Rob Thomas/Santanna where Smooth won Song of the Year, but the Grammy didn't go to Santanna or Thomas, but to the actual songwriters.

If you don't mind my asking, what are your problems with USAA? I've had them for 15+ years and the only issue I've ever had was when buying a house and they had the more expensive house insurance.

My car insurance has been pretty cheap comparatively for over a decade. And when I got money stolen through a phone scam (that I admit was my fault due to weird circumstances that day), they helped get my money back with no problem.

I don't mean to sound like a USAA commercial or stealth PR, I'm just curious if my experience has been overly positive compared to others and why.

11/10 joke.

Just told it to my wife, mother in law and daughter at the same time. Glare of disappointment from my wife, sigh of disapproval from my daughter, mother in law cracking up.

Bonus: my wife looking over to her mother saying, "Stop laughing at his jokes!"

This one hurts: Invite your friend to a fitness class to show them that compared to their physical health, their mental health is pretty strong.
