I support the vegetarian movement from the perspective of cruelty, sustainability, and eco-friendliness. My understanding is that Telsa's belief that a veggie diet is superior (regarding mechanical and mental performance) has been disproven. Anecdotally, of the people around me, I've seen no correlation in the top athletic/career achievers to any kind of diet. Rather, balanced and disciplined eating seems to correlate.

Are there any good sources for a particular diet/restriction that correlates with mechanical or mental performance? Anecdotally the top performers I know generally balance meat/fruit/vegetables, eliminate sugar, and follow other common nutrition knowledge without committing to any particular diets or restrictions.

Author goes on about how pampering yourself with comfort is imprisonment, but also says this? cmon.

Would it still take root if it was placed in backwards? If it was someone else's tooth? a particularly well shaped rock?

It depends on what you mean by 'hacking' a VPN. One assertion in this breach is that the NordVPN certificate private key was leaked, allowing anybody to spin up a NordVPN server that would pass HTTPS certificate validation (the cert is expired, it's currently unknown if the cert was valid for a period of time after it was compromised). This kind of an attack would let an attacker convince most users to download viruses, input credentials, etc.

Nord says that the above issue was caused by a data center breach. Depending on the company this may mean a leak of user info (account details, emails, etc) and password data (generally secure hashes, but often insecure/near-plaintext passwords).

There's a lot that can go wrong here even before considering the MITM vector. As far as that goes, you can generally trust that well-secured sites (Google, Facebook, etc) won't allow someone to steal your session tokens/passwords. There is a high likelihood that a malicious VPN would achieve script execution on your machine in a short period of time.

So no headphones in general? what about vision-correcting glasses? I'm very confused by this line you're drawing.

Reminded me of the Boeing Dreamliner integer overflow: https://www.engadget.com/2015/05/01/boeing-787-dreamliner-so...

I very much dislike that simple coding errors like this are finding their way into production aircraft software.

"The police have said she was culpable because she started the fight that led to the shooting and failed to remove herself from harm’s way."

The headline is shocking, but I can certainly imagine situations like this in which a negligent parent is responsible for putting their child/fetus at risk. Is there a precedent for a manslaughter charge for something like this?

I remember installing this on my Mom's computer when I was 8 and my dad cussing trying to uninstall it. good times.

I'm against Jehovah's Witnesses but that's a very pretty thought.

Are you though?
