Still think having standards and regulations is sometimes good.
I just saw a video of a traffic jam where the parents let their kid out to pee. And then an overweight truck slammed into the car and squashed it between the truck in front of them.

Many people in the comments wrote how that is really common in Colombia because they just donโ€™t follow weight rules and no inspections apparently.

in reply to Regular ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

We have standards and regulations here. So much so that it threatens the livelihood of independent truckers and favors large trucking corporations who can afford the often bullshit hoops set out for them that the little guys canโ€™t. The climate change bs being one of the big ones.

But that said we still have people in trucks who canโ€™t even read road signs killing people on the highway.

Corrupt government forms of regulation arenโ€™t the answer.
Common law and accountability is.

Just because figures are "official", it doesn't mean they're **accurate**. I wouldn't trust *any* economic figures to come out of this administration. They have proven that facts don't matter. Only stroking Dear Leader's ego matters. #USpol ---

If anybody is wondering about La Poste 'cyberattack', they appear to be getting targeted by craptavists.

They've been getting a mix of packeted, and layer 7 HTTP floods.

They've moved behind Radware now by flicking their traffic in BGP for packet scrubbing.. but they didn't appear to have anything for layer 7 in place that worked. They still operate on prem with BIG-IP F5 boxes.

It's hard to tell if it's a sheer lack of professionalism, or if it's an intentional implicit message to the #West that the defacto #ISIS government in #Damascus has officially given up the Syrian #GolanHeights. I bet it's the latter.

In an X post to celebrate the lifting of the #Caesar sanctions, the Syrian ministry of foreign affairs included a map of #Syria without the occupied territory.

I include another map of Syria showing the internationally recognized borders for comparison.

in reply to GH Ogawa

Agreed. But this is even more than criminality. The entire Timber Sycamore project from the CIA was to weaken regional resistance via various forms of infiltration. ISIS was/is still, long-term speaking, tactically laughable. But they did play with all gradients of sectarianism in Syria. It was a sandbox of sorts.

Not trying to emulate Saddam's paranoia here, but Sharaa does feel like a modern day Eli Cohen.

I'm about to potentially incriminate myself but why not. In 2015 I think? A friend at the time dared me to do a cover of I want a hippopotamus for christmas.

I get asked a lot lately what the I think people who want to get into cyber security should focus on. My go to answer is incident response, since it seems like the mountains of vibe code and half-assed zero trust architectures is creating galactic scale potential breach energy. Would that be called vibe responders? Or is that for when we figure out how to hand over IR to AI as well?

hey @rober muchรญsimas gracias por poner el รกrbol en gallego tambiรฉn! โค๏ธ

te aviso que tiene un par de erratas:

- รกrbol en gallego es femenino: 'o teu #Fediรrbore' -> 'a tรบa #Fediรrbore'

- cuando el objeto directo va delante del verbo el pronombre se adelanta tambiรฉn ('omitironse' -> 'se omitiron')

Friendly, open ended offer:

I used to work at Starbucks. I know exactly how they make every drink. If you ever want an at-home dupe, let me know what one and I probably know how to make it. If not, I guarantee I can figure it out easily enough. Screw Starbucks and their union busting and various other issues, save yourself a few bucks.

For instance: Their mocha is literally just hot cocoa mix with a pinch of salt, and a little extra sugar, mixed with water. Use a hot cocoa packet, add just enough milk to make it into a thinned paste/thick syrup, and add coffee (instant coffee absolutely works for this) and hot milk. It'll taste better and you can get hot cocoa packs that'll work at a dollar tree for 2 for a buck.

Assuming this isn't AI (which I'm not 100% on - none of the trucks in my area have dumping arms that work like that, and the trash that pops out of the can looks suspicious), the homeowner:

-Wasn't supposed to wedge the can in between the mailbox and the massive pole or tree

-Possibly had the can facing the wrong direction

-Put loose dirt in the can??

So the worker is in the wrong, but so is the homeowner.

But, again, I'm not convinced it's a real video.

in reply to Daddy-O of the 7 Wonders

@DaddyO
Those are the old style arms. Our trucks switched over to the new ones a few years ago. Now they use a chain drive or something to elevate the cans.
They arenโ€™t as hard on them but they still crack them eventually.

It seemed like the hydraulic pressure was a bit high on the truck in the video. Or it takes a finesse obviously not present here to run it properly.

in reply to Partisan Night Slut

I'm pretty sure that ever since 2008 the mainstream corporate economy has just been fake, and all of these companies are just getting cash handouts from the treasury.

That's the only explanation of why they suddenly started to only care about signaling political alignment and just completely stopped caring about customers, service, and ... being a company.
