So there you are, an orc in mordor, on guard duty while sauron makes the rest of the army. It’s pretty great being on guard duty, nobody bothers you and you’ve just caught a rabbit that you’re now roasting on a small fire.

In the horizon a weird dude with a beard and a grey cape appears, he has several smaller humanoids with him … and a trebuchet.

The trebuchet is launched and a small dude is flung above you. The projectile/dude is manically trying to open the box that he’s apparently wearing as a hat?!?

You turn the rabbit, and when you look up again the guy has opened the box… Where did he go? You follow his path, and suddenly, next to the entrance to some random cave, you notice what could be the result of a small dude, with a metal box for a hat, hitting the side of the mountain. The sound hits your ears 2 seconds later. It’s like both a thud, a clang, and a squish all at once.

Even at this distance you can see something in the mess. Something shiny that you for some reason just know isn’t part of the box. You set off for the impact site.

What do you do now? If you want to investigate goto page 56 and if you want to alert the chain of command go to page 182.

Where complex? I see no imaginary numbers

Besides what everyone else has said about screening, I’d suspect the astronauts are pretty cut off from the world.

If ground control can control all communication, what’s to stop them from censoring?

Please don’t ruin Keanu Reeves and Nick Offerman

That’s not nanobots ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

if you do not like it then you are stuck on old hardware forever

As long as I can get security updates for my current versions of software, then I could not give less of a fuck. I don’t game, I don’t use AI locally, I just want a stable system that doesn’t change functionality.

For all I care you could give me back windows 2000 and I’d be fine. Best damn windows ever released. If only it still got security updates.

Your wife’s job is going to be hard to translate to other countries. But if she has an education in healthcare, and it’s nursing adjacent, maybe reach out to the nurses unions in your target countries, they could maybe help you move forward. Everybody are screaming for healthcare professionals, so maybe the local health authorities would be able to help as well.

I have no idea about other countries, but in Denmark we have an agency of international recruitment and integration. They’re mostly involved with deportations, or so it would seem based on the news stories, but guiding potential specialists in translating their qualifications should be in their purview. Maybe other countries have something similar.

“IT” as in operations, networks, security, support, or? I mean a suitable background in networks and you’d make 130k USD plus pension as a networking consultant in Denmark. IDK about citizenship though. As with all the rest of Europe, we’ve seen a rise in right wing populism and are now suffering from its resulting inane immigration laws.

But if you’re in for the adventure, then you could look outside the list of English speaking countries. There’s The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, we all speak English and we all have healthcare… But don’t go to Sweden, they suck :-)

So she takes in cushioned footstools and stands their constant begging for more food? Good on her, I certainly couldn’t do it.

Thank fuck I didn’t get that subscription, I was looking into getting a secure mail service. I engaged with people calling proton a CIA honeypot, investigating what was up with the rumors and I was about to jump into bed with proton.

OK McDonald’s, I will not use your most cost effective ordering method. I guess I will just have to order my 10 individually custom cheeseburgers at the counter instead. I might have to have e the order read back, and change my mind about a few burgers.

I was wondering what a washing machine needed a TPM for. Better title: “machine fails to boot after power failure”
