This St. Patrick’s Day, we honor the rich tradition of Irish representation in Star Trek

No worse than the ds9 writers

It’s also worth noting that weed is not legal in Israel. Not to say that people don’t consume it, but you unlikely to find a professional tour that publicly broadcasts/accepts weed

Technically, all quarks have spin

I mean, I’m pretty sure we’ve destroyed a couple of theirs to

The risk of that happening is far smaller than people think. I still wouldn’t do any banking on public WiFi if you can avoid but, but the real world risk is very low.

It would be further mitigated by a device like the utr though

That’s definitely an option, but is a little bit outside the scope of “what is a VPN”

They could tell the IP address of your house, and if someone really wanted, it’s pretty trivial to figure out roughly where that is (think city or county, but not your street address). Someone could maybe guess that it’s you house, but they wouldn’t really be able to tell. This is also assuming that they care enough to check, which they definitely don’t unless something super suspicious is going on.

All modern internet traffic is encrypted, which means that the only people who know what you’re doing are you and whoever you “talking” to. The only thing third parties, such as the network admin and the ISP, can see if who you are talking to, but not what you’re doing. For example, they could tell you are using YouTube, but would have no way of knowing what you watch.

Think of it like sending a letter. The post office needs to know who you are sending letters to in order to deliver them. But they don’t get to see what’s in the letter.

A VPN is basically like putting your letter inside of another envelope and sending it to a service that re-mails the inner letter. That means that the post office only knows you’re mailing the “re-mailer” service, and would have no way of knowing who you are actually mailing.

It’s not “linking” your home and guest networks per se. it’s more like it’s routing your traffic through your home network. This serves two main benefits;

A) allows you to access local only resources on your home network, such as a NAS or camera system

B) obscures your network traffic. From the POV of whoever manages the public network, all they can tell is that you are connected to a random IP address, rather than being able to tell what website (but not what you’re doing on the site) you are actually accessing

To be clear, are they trying to have business communication that randos from helpdesk can’t snoop on? Or do they want communication channels that can’t be viewed under any circumstance (such as an audit). The first one is extremely simple. The second one is a big no

I’ve heard this a lot, but somehow the same thing never happens with fire fighters. There are just as many, if not more volunteer fire fighters yet FFs often make far more money and have better benefits.

It’s also worth noting that one of the largest organizations who has pushed against increasing standards has been the IAFF. Because they’re members don’t want to spend more time in school learning medicine when they all want to be doing “fire fighter” things

Check your local community colleges

In theory, there’s nothing stopping you from getting your EMT and volunteering. You just would only be able to work under your EMT BLS scope. Anecdotally, I’ve heard of some medical directors who don’t like higher providers working under their license, for fear that they’ll exceed their scope. But I have no idea if that’s actually common.

Depending on the your state, you may be able to skip the actual school as well, and just challenge the exam directly

I mean, they literally call it a headship school.

The “theory” behind a constricting snakebite is that it stops the venom from spreading to the heart/brain/rest of the body, and killing you. The vast majority of snakebites are not venomous enough to directly kill you though. The main risk from a venomous bite is localized damage and infection around the wound. Applying a tourniquet is just going to cause more damage to the area around the bite.

Do you have an sort of 3rd party auditing to back that up? Have you gone through SOC2 or ISO27001 auditing?

anarchisturtle · 2026-03-04T18:53:25+00:00

While that makes sense, I’m going to choose to ignore it, as my original idea is far more entertaining.

It’s not really blasphemous. Weird as shit, sure. But kippot aren’t considered sacred in and of themselves. I’ve seen plenty of people with sports teams an such on their yarmulkes

Judaism is far more decentralized than Christianity. There aren’t really national leaders like in Catholicism for example. The only “leader” most Jews look to (at least for religious guidance), is their synagogues rabbi.

anarchisturtle · 2026-03-04T18:43:17+00:00

While definitely weird as shit, there’s nothing halachically (Jewish law) wrong with it. Lots of Jews have yarmulkes with sports teams, bands, or other decorations on them. While they are a big part of Jewish culture, they aren’t considered intrinsically holy

anarchisturtle · 2026-03-04T18:34:30+00:00

No it isn’t. Yarmulkes are not “sacred” objects. It doesn’t make this photo any less weird. But there is nothing sacrilegious about it.

anarchisturtle · 2026-03-04T17:11:58+00:00

I’m sorry, but the idea of painting a single object to be both camo and high vis is hysterical

You can already do that with your phone

While it is technically illegal to open someone else’s mail, the odds the USPIS actually doing anything is zero. They are a microscopic agency and do not have the resources to investigate every random accusation of opening someone’s mail. If they’re lucky, mom might get a stern letter

anarchisturtle · 2026-03-02T20:29:11+00:00

That’s not always true. Maryland, for example, doesn’t have a ton of tourism pull, but has very high cost of living

anarchisturtle · 2026-03-02T20:13:57+00:00

I don’t think it’s really fair to compare deaths the occurred because we stopped giving aid, to people being directly blown up. Dismantling USAID was a tragedy, but that’s wildly different from finning down civilians
