Fighting to ensure we always have a way to suspend or manually control software updates no matter the vendor, sounds like the way to go.

If Microsoft has one smart TV vendor in their pocket, they have more. This behavior can get collusive real quick-like.

Approach every older Hollywood actor and actress showing their age and suggest AI.

When they reel in horror and offense and refuse, remind them AI can make them look 25 again. Forever.

I wonder how many would bite down so hard they snap the hook in two.

In an AI fight, this is probably the most worthless defense.

They’re not after the body. They’re not even after the human. They want the likeness.

Oh, and imitation is flattery. Or some shit.

If we dropped all the driver names into a fishbowl and let them randomly be drawn, how many team owners would find relevancy real damn quick?

With lap times matching in sub-second intervals, I see your mostly irrelevant point. But skill does matter. A snippet of stats from the 2020 season shows there are statistically worse drivers:

After that, you should be able to see The Matrix.

Profanity as enhanced inflection to convey emotion in a story?

Hell yes. I award fifty points to House Fuckinstuff.

Fuck yes this works.

I also just realized Sam Kinison would have been certified to calibrate torque wrenches up to 500 fuck pounds, or approximately 650 cunt tons.

Old man strength. All that time they were just blurting out workout advice.

* David drops a dumbbell *

(David) ”AAAUUUGH, MY FOOT! GODDA..”

(Goliath) ”HEY! We lift CLEAN around here Natty! NO ROIDS!”

Gotta run. I fear I owe a set or seven-zillion to the man downstairs for that.

(Engineer) "Alright, activate corner mode."

(Driver) "Blue button. Got it."

(Engineer) "Clear for boost mode."

(Driver) "Green button. Sending."

Gut feeling is when you're forced to react that quickly on a race track to F1 political vernacular, you keep shit real simple.

(D)iversity - Hiring that prioritizes having a diverse group of humans, over competency whenever necessary, using quotas.

(E)quity - Hiring that prioritizes equal gender representation for all positions, over competency whenever necessary, using quotas. (NOTE: Really really hard jobs, don't count. Because that would be unfair.)

(I)nclusion - Hiring that prioritizes inclusion of all types and mental states, over competency whenever necessary, using quotas.

Explain the overtly denied and gross incompetence within the last administration instead of deflecting. I don't mind at all competing against anyone qualified for the job. That said, not so sure how this whole strong liberal feminist thing is gonna work out long-term. Overtly liberal feminism hasn't done enough to discourage 304 behavior as "empowering", which doesn't exactly create a disease-free, divorce-free dating pool chock full of honesty and accountability that men easily see as wife material and want to procreate with. Anti-depressants have become as normalized as abortion.

As far as nepo hires, can't really say I like that no matter who is guilty. But I really doubt you're going to out-shit-shine a wholly unqualified dishonorably discharged crackhead son working for an energy company in a country who ultimately received over $100 billion in warmongering funds from Daddy Big Guy, while a Bahamian crypto orgy washing machine was donating fat stacks to the DNC to fund those '22 mid-terms nicely. How convenient that's all gone now. Sponsored by Bleachbit and Total Recall Vacations, Inc.

Just remember. You asked for this.

Battle of the Minds, Round One:

Trump vs. Biden (a.k.a. The Big Guy, President Autopen), on anything he can recall coherently other than ice cream.

Vance vs. Harris (a.k.a. The Cackler, Open Border Czar), on word salads (allowed due to self-identified disability) and National Security.

Hegseth vs. Walz, on the benefits of masculinity.

Kennedy vs. Rachel Levine, on the value of Fathers and parental rights.

Gabbard vs. Harris, just because we deserve to see that mental bitch-slapping again.

I'd go on, but you really don't want me to get down to the Goggins level where Jocko strength is delivered with Musk wit at Shapiro speed. In summary, proving competency, fails the Didn't Earn It (DEI) sniff test.

Thank you for your contribution to the ongoing study to combat the crippling disease of long-TDS. As always, your input is greatly entertaining and mildly appreciated.

Depends on the legal necessity. The public ingests the broadcasted story no matter if it was an exercise or real. To them, a bad guy was caught with no real security risk and minor disruption on a single flight.

You would simply publish what is necessary. In this case, there were members of the public present who likely noticed or were directly impacted by the erratic behavior and disturbance. So 100% confidentiality was a known no-go from the start. Some exposure was certainly factored in, and so a press release with relevant detail is made after it is complete.

Red Teaming can be akin to "sources and methods" in law enforcement. Reveal what is legally necessary. Utilize the rest.

Included in the press release? Why? Internal Red Team testing is internal.

Take the win for catching the "bad" guy, with bonus clicks-n-likes revenue. Advertise there was no real threat (he went through security) to keep the confidence of overall safety intact with the general public. Water the "alarming" problem down to remedial training and perhaps firing a couple of ticket checkers who had one fucking job to ensure all is well.

Profit, with consumer confidence even slightly boosted just before the holiday rush.

Internal testing is often private because shareholders might not react too well finding out you had to fire all of your "security" team after a Red Team exercise. Yeah. I know. That pesky profit again.

Perhaps we not attribute time-traveling ignorance with what could be attributed to a Red Team pen test. He went through security. So creating an actual threat was not the end goal. Embarrassment and awareness was.

Hell, the way he was bouncing around the plane makes me wonder how much money he was winning in the Red Team office pool for every seat he got away with.

Red Team testing, is done at airports. (Source: Retired Director of TSA @ local international airpot)
