If she takes it in the ass
You know that shes got class
If she likes it in the rear
Everyone will cheer
If the back doors left a jar
She is way above par
If her butts ready for dick
Id put a ring on that chick

2018-11-18 at 10:42 AM UTC in Do You Guys Think Rust Was A Little Obsessed?Christ, reading back through those makes me thankful so much that Lanny took the reigns and did what he did. Zoklet was a fucking crybaby fest from the top, down. Everyone whined and cried and bitched and moaned, from Admins to mods to users. It was horrible. Thank you Lanny.
However, seeing some of those usernames again, makes me wonder....

2018-10-03 at 9:16 PM UTC in made a fuckin rainbow cake took picsI went to the store and bought some rainbow cake mix. The kind that was always at your friends' birthday parties in summer after they barbecued the hot dos and cheeseburgers. I then cooked some of the dough in the microwave in a buttered up cup which is a trick I learned from none other than Captain Falcon, gotta give credit where credit is due you feel me? Anyways my gf had never ate this kind of cake before and so I made it for her and took some pics of myself with the cake and the cake itself. And for the haterz...IT WAS DELICIOUS. Plus I'm on opiates, benzos and weed and it's hard to even see straight right now so you know I don't care.

2017-03-13 at 4:58 AM UTC in IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices, durkish roadside bombs and the like)I've heard the same. the assassinations you mentioned, the way they were carried out - those guys had absolutely no fear of getting caught, and their operations were a lot more sophisticated than were let on at the time.
the media at the time portrayed them as a personality cult, but there was a lot more to it than - they believed they had a 'divine mission' to preserve culture after the world's institutions were destroyed by war (kind of like the Manson cult but with less buzzwords). something in that ideal attracted so many successful, well-educated people - an 'elite group'The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-03-10 at 4:37 PM UTC in IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices, durkish roadside bombs and the like)
Originally posted by aldra All of the IEDs I've seen popularly reported have been pretty standard, either nigger-rigged explosive charges strapped to shrapnel (nails or ball bearings are popular) or standard munitions like unexploded missiles and artillery shells buried and attached to a detonator.
Have you ever heard of anything more novel? Do the beardy goat enthusiasts ever get innovative with their methods? I know the Irish probably did, but they didn't have much cause to because they had access to actual military hardware a lot of the time.
I'm not talking about their standard sick shit like strapping explosives to cats and dogs, or hiding them in dolls (both have been documented in Syria recently) - I mean different kinds of weapons, different ways to maximise damage etc.
Specifically I was recently thinking about Continuous Rod warheads - if you're not familiar, they're basically an explosive charge wrapped in a folded metal ring so that when it explodes the metal ring expands rapidly, tearing anything in it's path literally in half. This image should
They were originally designed for bringing down aeroplanes; they're calculated to have up to a 4x wider kill radius than a standard shrapnel/submunition bomb and the long cuts it leaves are much harder to survive than shrapnel that may or may not fly through critical parts of the plane. What's more, they're fairly easy to construct - if you have the explosive, all you need are some iron rods and a welder.
If the ring is fired parallel to the ground above waist level, there would be almost zero chance for anyone standing upright within range to survive and it stands to reason that the much wider 'kill' radius applies to soft targets as well as aircraft.
The only one I can really think of that'd have the background to say much would be IS, but I'm mostly just curious about rumours and stories that don't make the news.
durrhhhh....I dunno.
actually, I could type a book in reply but I'm on a postage stamp sized keyboard so that'd be less than pleasant.
the hajis are pretty much retarded when it comes to IEDS (that term is retarded...there are IEDS that are more sophisticated than high tech cruise missiles)...what they lack in sophistication, they make up for in perseverance. a good example is they set an IED in the ground...detonated it...and all the targets felt was a bit of a rumble and vibration. the targets shrugged their shoulders and moved on, not thinking much of it . as it turned out...the hajis buried what was a massive explosive charge, which would have obliterated a small building had it been at ground level, but due to how deep it was it's only effect was a bit of jiggling.
the heyday of the IED craze was back in he 80s or so, with the Irish doing their thing, and that stuff going on in souther africa/rhodesia.
the general protocol when it comes to things that blow up is that the authorities don't release specifics or details. the actual info is termed 'unclassified for official use only.' the only time specifics on a device are released to the public is either when someone other than the authorities does it,not when they're distributing misinformation. as in that chink that just got offed in south korea by...supposedly...VX...there's too many problems with that situation for it to have been VX. which begs the question...why did the s.Korean authorities release that detail.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2016-02-18 at 1:28 PM UTC in Welcome to Texas mother fuckersI'm really glad because our law that allows students at universities to open carry on campus is now in effect. Austin Is a very progressive city, and many students here are exercising their rights. This is a step forward that goes against that finklesteined jedi obama and his anti-gun shennangins. I for one can't own a gun because of my felonies. But once I get them expunged, I'm going to get a Yugoslavian ak-47 (used to have one before my felonies, but the cops stole it from me, but left my pot plants.. go figure..)
What are your state gun laws like?

I am. I actually have a decent idea for something that I need but not quite the skills. I have most of the skills but I need to learn(or find somebody) that knows a little bit about RasPi development(as far as the physical part goes). It's a security related thing. Searching for something already like it and I come up emptyhanded.
Hey man, don't second guess yourself like this. I've been reading your posts for a while now, at least since Zoklet, and you seem to know your shit pretty well. I'd say just go for it.Know it's been a long ass time since this post was made but on the off chance you're still around it was a cryptography scheme for email that would make subpoenas generally ineffective. Kinda like hushmail but technically better (at the cost of some corner cases being (maybe) unintuitive). It was really fun because I got to implement crypto in javascript which actually worked (despite that being, in general, a bad idea) and tackle a whole host of other interesting but solvable problems (I ended up writing this whole parser-generation framework which served in interpreting emails and email addresses (ironically the RFC specifying an email address grammar (which basically everyone ignores) is far more complicated than the RFC specifying email grammar))). The plan was, more or less, to store public keys for users and encrypt email on receipt before storage which is fairly simple but has a surprising number of complicating cases and pitfalls. It would make providing plaintext records to LEO impossible and thus subpoenas (in the traditional sense of a request for data at a given point in time) useless. We started the project shortly after the Snowden/lavabit thing in an effort to "replace" lavabit (defunct) with something better.
Whoa, nice idea. What were the pitfalls and obstacles that you ran into? I can see implementing crypto in JS being a pretty big obstacle in itself, what with browsers being a fucking behemoth of shit glued together. Did it ever get off the ground?

I've been inactive here since August because of work. Now I'm back partially because of getting fired. Luckily, not for performance reasons - half the company got fired too (fuck using phrases like "let go"). Now I've got time to think. Yeah, I know, this ain't my personal blog so the on-topic thing I wanted to shared was that I'm looking at becoming a freelancer purely because this allows me more control over my capital*, and, what more importantly, it gives me a chance to practice all those skills that atrophy when you're shackled to a desk, mopping up shitty code, in an open-plan office, for 8 hours a day.
My plan is to ramp up my freelance business so that I can support myself but keep my work hours on the lower side to have time to develop a product. That or maybe starting a coders cooperative to increase bargaining power vs. the market.

2015-07-24 at 6:42 PM UTC in Fuck religion.But tell me your favorite bible verses anyway. A couple of mine are:
I am the beta and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
-Revelation 22:13
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
-Mark 5:9
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
-Revelation 6:8
Note that in the context of the last verse Hades refers to a compartment of hell where the unsaved souls dwell, so in effect wherever the Horsemean of death went, hell followed in his wake.

2015-07-13 at 5:40 AM UTC in Sending Items Back Through Time?bismuth crystals look more like ancient microchips than that thing does.
I am sure that there is no need to post pictures of bismuth, because as awesome as bismuth is, we have probably seen bismuth crystals a million times already.
haven't we?
fuck it, I wanna look at some pictures of bismuth crystals:
Anyway, my point is....what was my point again? I'm high and looking at bismuth crystals. Yeah, anyway, wierd stuff can be found in nature. Just because we find something that faintly resembles something else doesn't mean that it is that thing. Wait, what?

2015-06-27 at 8:32 AM UTC in Any wantreprenuers here?There's definitely a lot of people that fit that description in my neck of the woods. I think Paul Graham was devastatingly effective in rolling a certain flavor of entrepreneurialism into mainstream programmer culture which tbh I resent a little bit. I have no problem with people wanting to start their own businesses and bring a new product to market. I came close to doing the same with a hobby project I was working on with a friend. But I think it has, in some sense, marginalized the fact that programmers primarily... write programs. Most of us have zero special access to market information, the only thing that makes this programmers-as-entrepreneurs image feasible is that there's a class of products that require programmers to build and some of us luck out in picking a good idea to go implement. But it seems to draw people who aren't interested in the craft of programming first but rather the more motivated sort of "idea people" who are in the field to make their product and retire or whatever. IDK, maybe that's just me being a curmudgeon but sometimes I wish a few more of my coworkers were interested in automata theory and compilers and a few less in building the next big social network.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
