'Wayne, I think we've established that "Ca-Caw Ca-Caw" and "Tookie Tookie" don't work.'

Ah, I'm glad I was reminded that this movie exists.

Judging by a poster I saw, it's We Can Be Heroes, a kid-friendly superhero movie

That's heavily dependent on context. Oftentimes each person commenting in these threads has a different situation in their mind.

If they're on your ass on a multi-lane highway and there's plenty of space for them to pass you AND you're in the designated lane for slow traffic (eg, right-most lane in the US) then it's not rude at all. Encourage them to get off your ass and in the meantime, you're giving both of you more time to react in an emergency.

If you're on a two-lane road (ie, one lane per direction) I get wanting to slow down below the speed limit, but really, you don't know whether that person has a friend bleeding out next to them while trying to get to a hospital, or maybe they are at the boiling point for a road-rage incident with a gun in the glovebox. I maintain a safe speed and if I get to a passing zone, I make a point to slow down for them to make an easier pass.

I found a HuffPo article linking to the original Twitter post (link to bad place) in case anyone wanted to verify this was legit before sharing.

I believe the main concern for periodic password changes is that most people won't take the time to generate unique passwords each time. They will typically iterate a password over time, meaning a couple leaked passwords will narrow down guesswork to a trivial number of guesses and remove the benefit of the timed changes.

NIST no longer recommends password expirations except for cases where it is believed that a breach occurred.

That first one doesn't make any sense. Every processor has its own assembly language. The game would run on YOUR machine and any others running the same processors, but you'd have to build a custom version for any other processor you want to support.

That said, it could potentially be insanely well optimized for that platform if everything was hand coded.

The artist generally draws fat characters, even himself...while describing why he runs ultra marathons.

If you're close enough to drop caltrops reliably (ie, while avoiding other cars), you're close enough to be spotted by the car cameras. At that point, just mask up and stick a knife in the tire wall.

My buddy had the opposite version of this when we went to Japan. He was pretty good at conversational Japanese because that's what was taught in his college courses, but most of our interactions were in a business context using keigo Japanese which is more polite and formal.

He struggled for a while, especially because we found that lot of Japanese folks would downplay their knowledge of English out of modesty. There were a number of times when our friend would struggle to find the right word and the person he was talking to would confirm the correct English word first before offering the Japanese variant.

The first season of Spartacus. My dad recommended it and I tried watching the first few episodes. Spartacus gets his ass kicked a lot at the start of the show. You'd get a glimmer of hope, then he'd fuck up and nearly die again. My dad insisted it would get better and I watched one more episode and he has his first victory in the arena. I stuck with it from there and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the first season and the prequel season.

RIP Andy Whitfield. I tried watching the third season which picks the story back up after the first, but I just couldn't get into it. I don't think it was necessarily Liam McIntyre's fault, the show just lost it's rhythm after the setting change.

I'm poly, my girlfriend is married to a woman. They have been looking hard at contingency plans. One of them is eligible for dual-citizenship due to ancestry and is looking into that process, and they have confirmed with friends in another country that they could rent a room with them if necessary.

A couple weeks ago, she asked me if I would marry her in the event they felt the need to divorce and "go undercover" looking more heteronormative.

They are scared. They feel like they are not that far removed from the "kind of person" who might be next up for disappearances by our current government.
