Ride the monorail, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

Hmm, what opening did they use?

[–] NaibofTabr 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

The overall message of the film is good. The role model is... questionable at best.

The idea of ... checks notes ... killing the king for the sake of religious extremism.

So, the Gunpowder Plot... for as much as it's been embellished in recent years (especially in V for Vendetta and the subsequent adoption of the Guy Fawkes mask by "Anonymous"), it's important to remember that the plot was not about resistance to the monarchy or dictatorship or government in general, and it certainly wasn't about liberty or anarchy:

In 1604 Fawkes became involved with a small group of English Catholics, led by Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate the Protestant King James and replace him with his daughter, third in the line of succession, Princess Elizabeth.
[...]
He [...] told us that since he undertook this action he did every day pray to God he might perform that which might be for the advancement of the Catholic Faith and saving his own soul"
[...]
Fawkes revealed his true identity on 7 November, and told his interrogators that there were five people involved in the plot to kill the king. He began to reveal their names on 8 November, and told how they intended to place Princess Elizabeth on the throne.

Fawkes and his coconspirators were religious extremists, and the goal of the plot was to eliminate the current monarch so that they could install another who would be more friendly to Catholics in England.

You guys have a middle class?

The floss holder is more compact, easily portable, and doesn't require recharging.

The simplest solution is to just restrict software updates to direct physical access, and put the USB port or whatever behind a locked service panel.

If the software can't be infiltrated remotely, then there won't be any security issues that are so urgent they need to be patched in the middle of a shift, they can wait for a maintenance stop.

Yeah with the disposable ones you throw away a lot of plastic handles. Also with the ones I've used the floss often pulls loose.
