Dear Budapest police. Be consistent. You detained the man I married for carrying a device he had flown TO Hungary with via Munich with nary a problem.
It was a flashlight.
Yeah, ok, it was also a taser, a salient detail the silly man forgot about.
And he heard about this from me.
There is something about the Hungarian language that sounds very menacing to me. Whether it was my father telling me I was in big trouble, or airport police doing paperwork, both sound like doom.

Brainwashing & propaganda has been going on in the US public schools, private schools, colleges, & universities since the 1970's.
From "A Nation At Risk" released in 1983 under President Reagan:
"...If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have
allowed this to happen to ourselves. ..."
I've already sung my praises for Fresh Blood Christens the Udonge, however there's another track tied to Reisen in Hero of Ice Fairy. The Tale of the Bunnia.
It's a track that plays before the fight and introduces why Reisen is acting how she is, and it sets the mood very well. At all moments the track sounds like it's putting in effort to keep in line. Like there's something driving it to fall apart. Does especially well paired up with her fight track, as the fight track (and fight itself) gives the feeling she's given in to her instincts and let any pretenses or rules drop.

Alahednews - Fastnews - ’Israeli’ artillery shelling targets the outskirts between the towns of Rmeish and Aita al-Shaab in southern Lebanon.english.alahednews.news
Blonde hair, blue eyes. I have great jeans! (I can't remember the last time I wore jeans)
5.11 pants and shorts, and athletic shorts/leggings. And dresses sometimes, though I feel like a gorilla.
when I was in college there was a fad of "fanny pack" pistol carrying bags/packs. They were a big joke because everyone who saw a guy with one knew they were carrying.
I've been surprised how few people know about 5.11. I used a 5.11 bag with an inner carry compartment for pistol to two corporate jobs and neither security ever picked up it was a 5.11 bag even though I didn't cut off the insignia.
@radix023
Bob Odden, the head of the MNLP for a hot minute, was notorious for the fanny pack carry. And also being gayer than a stack of strawberry pancakes.
I'm not into any sort of bag carry because thieves can just cut them off of you. I don't carry bags anyways. Cumbersome and inconvenient.
Know what's racist?

I wish I had another IP to proxy with. But I guess if the feds ever wanted me for whatever reason, even if Cloudflare did let me proxy more than just port 80 and 443 and whatever I can manage with Tunnels, it's not like they wouldn't hand me over instantly.
My IP being up on the internet isn't a huge deal either; if one of you poopheads who aren't feds wanna look me up and know what city I'm in or portscan the hell outta me, like, bring it on I guess? It'll help me hone my hardening skills anyway.
And now I can finally have a Coturn server. But yes, another IP that I own and can stick an Nginx proxy on would be nice.
