I assumed it was designed to survive some proximity to a nuclear strike. But definitely not a close-hit, or direct strike.

Far enough away and shielded enough that the flash of radiation doesn’t render its occupants immediately dead.

Generally speaking, multivitamins do nothing.

This is known.

The reason they do nothing is that most people have a reasonable diet that hits all the micros. It doesn’t even have to be a stellar diet, or even vaguely “healthy”, per se.

If your diet already includes the micros; then your body just shits or pisses them out. If you have an actual deficiency in something, it’s probably not diet related and more to do with uptake. Either way, that’s a conversation for you and your doctor, not a pill pusher advert

This is my go to when people are over around that time of year and want to watch a “Christmas classic”

Usually they’re something depressing like It’s a Wonderful Life or something straight up annoying, like The Grinch.

(Can I just say it- the Who’s of Whoville are shitty neighbors.)

A runner up is Home Alone.

Or selling off illegally settled real estate out of a synagogue…

I’m not sure if he’s trying to help biden… you know… by making it sound like Biden actually did the right fucking thing here and cut off the genocidal maniac… or trying to fuck biden; because we all know that Biden will ship harder for Netty-Boo

I was trying to figure out wtf people were doing in Spore (the video game.)

Didn’t we give them nukes a while back?

considering other articles linked on the website apparently include “the Case of the 2 Miners that met the Ctones” (which seems to be some kind of advanced civilization that lives under ground… that kept him from leaving for 5 years, but then paid him diamonds and let him go or something…) and “100,000 year old electrical connector found embedded in stone”… (Aliens!)

I’m gonna go with a great example of “bullshit”.

Wikipedia editors/whatever agreed that it was an “unreliable source”, because it pushed linking pro-Palestinian protests with antisemitism, and such like.

Basically you can’t use the ADL as a source for Wikipedia articles. It’s also a big broader than just the conflict- it would appear you wouldn’t be able to cite them on, say, page discussing antisemitism, or similar things. (Basically everything the ADL might be interested in.)

Grew up in red hat- you know? Back when red hat wasn’t the enemy.

Endeavor is my flavor of the month. (Why pick one?)

now i want to fork something into a new distro called “Schroedinger Linux”…

“maybe it works. maybe it doesn’t. maybe it’s best just to leave it right there and not look at it.”

I wouldn’t know. Every game I had dysentery within the first couple of days.

… does he not see the irony in calling the other guys nazis while directly (and knowingly) quoting Hitler?

Pretty much all bigotry, is fueled by fear- fear of the other.

And I’m only saying “pretty much” because it’s not like I’m an expert or anything

Whats funny is… it’s probably true in both places. well, the part about conservatives being scared little pricks.

Malware is any unwanted thing on your computer that either you or your system has to deal with, whether in the form of software, emails, or pop-ups.

Malware is Malicious Software it’s a very specific thing, Cisco defines it as :

Malware, short for malicious software, refers to any intrusive software developed by cybercriminals (often called hackers) to steal data and damage or destroy computers and computer systems. Examples of common malware include viruses, worms, Trojan viruses, spyware, adware, and ransomware. Recent malware attacks have exfiltrated data in mass amounts.

Cisco defines spam as:

Spam email is unsolicited and unwanted junk email sent out in bulk to an indiscriminate recipient list. Typically, spam is sent for commercial purposes. It can be sent in massive volume by botnets, networks of infected computers.

Sally from Accounting hitting reply all? spam. Kyle sending out embarrassing photos of Steve to everyone? Spam. your fifth cousin’s baby photos? well, I assume that’s spam. maybe you like baby photos.

those chain letters? spam. but not malware. They might contain malware, but the email itself is not malware. For example, a malicious image, won’t load- it has to go fetch the image first. Until you load the remote content, it’s not malware. It’s just a way of pointing you at the malware.

That said, it’s important to note that Raw Story is a legitimate company that wants your business. They’re not going to intentionally send you malware. mostly they’re going to be using the remote content to load pretty images and set up some basic telemetry (essentially read receipts. Maybe a cookie if you’re using a web client for your email, or perhaps clicked a link.) This is true of most legitimate companies. They want your business, so they’re not going to so brazenly piss you off with ransomware or a trojan.

As long as you’re not loading remote content and clicking links, there’s basically nothing that email can do to you. you can train your email client to recognize it as spam and send it straight to the bin; reducing potential accidental openings.

spam is just unwanted emails, it’s not software, in of its self.

Also, the tracking beacons only load if you let it. I assume you have your email client set to not load remote content. (If you don’t, you really should.) not sure what you use for email, but thunderbird (mozilla) does it automatically.

I’m not sure raw story is going to be sending malware.

Spam? In 37 different flavors,

That was always sarcastic.

You’re not wrong. At some point Putin is gonna have to grab the other guy and jump off that ledge, just to prove he would.

Which is the problem with brinksmanship.
