True. FB translation is not as accurate. Could it be that the logout is being forced by something in the post? If yes, that's worrying.
Something weird happened to me when I opened https://www.facebook.com/robots.tx/posts/1198980273583188

After opening the page I hit the back button and was automatically logged out from FB. I was logged in when I opened the page initially. Anyone experienced the same?

Did you try this? If that's the case then would be a great post!
I didn't pay the bill but we arranged the lunch via FB MSN so easy to correlate I guess.

Haven't seen any alcohol related ads lately.

Ask HN: Can we find out why a specific ad appears in our Facebook feed?

Last week I went to a restaurant with some friends and while checking the menu we saw that there was a cocktail with Campari (alcoholic liqueur) - this triggered a 30 sec conversation about the drink. Following day I open my FB feed and something weird happened - there was a Campari ad just in front of me!

“A group of centi-millionaires and a couple of billionaires were working through end-of-America scenarios and talking about what they’d do. Most said they’ll fire up their planes and take their families to Western ranches or homes in other countries.” One of the guests was skeptical, Dugger said. “He leaned forward and asked, ‘Are you taking your pilot’s family, too? And what about the maintenance guys? If revolutionaries are kicking in doors, how many of the people in your life will you have to take with you?’ The questioning continued. In the end, most agreed they couldn’t run.”

This is a great point and I think we can even add more to it: Will your pilot even wait for you? I guess he/she will just put his/her family on your plane and take off without you!

I'm not a cryptography guy myself but thanks for the tip - still on time to learn a few things!
wow! this is a good one! The Zip contains not only the logs but all the files that were part of the mIRC application (executable, config, etc). Maybe I'll try to find some old config files and explore this option.
will def look at this as it was in my plans to use some aws gpu instances for a couple of days.
thanks. that's what I've been using so far but no success.
not sure if I will find something that interesting for the cmmunity

Found a 16y old password protected Zip file with my mIRC logs

While checking some really old CDs I found a password protected zip file with my mIRC logs from the year 2000. Since then my passwords changed a few times so I have no idea how many characters or which characters I used to protect the zip file. I already tried to brute force using 4-7 characters but no success. Any ideas to crack this are welcome.
