Out of the tens of thousands of installed systems, there are bound to be failures of the mechanical safeties (or human-performed installation/maintenence) that can lead to a Swiss cheese path to failure. I wouldn’t necessarily dismiss the whole category as a bad example because of that however.

Is it perfectly fail-safe? Well, in those cases, it wasn’t. But what were the contributing factors?

Sorry it’s a Yt link, but its germaine…

Well before 2 days ago, there was the CIA World Factbook, widely considered the most regarded and cited source of world statistics (yes, even given the source - the reason behind its creation and it’s maintainers was quite interesting).

Of course, in an an administration made up of bullshit, facts are the enemy, so it has been removed and probably destroyed.

I’ve had that same experience a dozen times. I don’t remember if they were all ‘stunningly handsome’, but they were all very friendly and professional.

And IR blocking glasses

The watches were radium, not uranium.

Exist?

Yapping dogs… Loud cars…

Peace tapas… Just a little peace… Unironically funny.

Our interventionist actions (to undermine a thriving, rather progressive country, in terms of the Middle East) directly led to Komeheni’s rule and the imposition of shiara law.

Can you please adopt me and my small family? We need a path out of this hell hole.

Like… piss… from an overfilled adult diaper…

Well, those two in particular were used heavily by my elders growing up in the 70s, so it predates the web by a little bit.

The oft-forgotten full phrase is: “a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn’t use it to tell time.”

Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.”

There are many states that have 2-party consent laws regarding being recorded. In my jurisdiction, what the glasshole did might have been illegal. (I’m not a lawyer or judge)

I don’t have a link right offhand, but the indicator led is defeatable. There’s people on ebay offering the modded glasses for only (iirc) like $100 more than msrp.

Isn’t it the one getting the blocks knocked out of him?

Nah, they’re run by the laziest chucklefucks you’ve ever met - they’re plugged right into a broadband modem with no firewall running bog standard teamviewer or RDP awaiting any connection (no filtering) because the people setting up and using these systems have no concept of infosec. They know how to set up their industrial system, plug it into the ‘computer thingy’, and hand it off the the municipal water dude who is a flat earth, anti-fluoride, moon-landing hoax, J6-denialist who knows nothing about technology, but wants to run the town’s water treatment from his cell phone.

(not that I’m jaded by small town dynamics or anything)
