It is very funny. Kids can still do some damage, I’m not sure why OP is comfortable sharing their assessment of the assailant’s age but not height or weight. Kids just usually aren’t ballsy enough to try to fight adults, but like someone I know was 5’3" and in her late 50s as a teacher and got dropped by 7-9 year old kicking their shin basically.
Also not sure why I forgot this but I taught self-defense to kids as part of a martial arts thing when I was in high school after getting a black belt in it. Mostly stuff that almost never happens, like stranger abductions, but we definitely taught kids to go for the balls and how to get out of a rear bear hug by stabbing kidneys with elbows and shit. I remember we cut the eyes out of those human head/torso dummies, the “Bob” dummies, and put eggs in them to simulate stabbing fingers into eyeballs lol. Kenpo is a pretty violent, at least where I learned it.
I use mostly fat free cheese for dietary reasons (I know, but it’s basically just protein at that point) and can only get pre-shredded unfortunately. I do steal it so whatever.
I buy part skim in blocks and use roughly half of each for pizza because it’s indistinguishable once they’re cooked together. The fat free stuff doesn’t melt as well as part skim… Unless you rinse it once. The water gets cloudy if you do it in a bowl, obviously a lot of the starch or whatever is separating. I mostly use a mesh strainer I have so that it doesn’t become tedious to wash and drain it. But after rinsing, it melts as well as part skim if not better. Is rinsing it more of a hassle than shredding? For me, no, but if I could buy a block of fat free cheese I would. Not stocked anywhere around me, and I don’t want to bother with ordering goddamn cheese online that’ll get shipped with dry ice and shit…
I wouldn’t worry too much about them, I was an anarchist for years (worked on some stuff in the FAQ) but even there I understood there was no way to actually achieve anarchism at scale in the short term (other than the kinds of disasters that really foreclose on our ability to care or think about how “society” is organized).
The only way you get to a place where anarchism is possible is through education, which requires there not be incentives to obfuscate and immiserate, which requires the destruction of capitalism, which in reality definitely requires a transition and replacement of the current order.
It’s harder than it seems! I tried post-Snowden and only got close once or twice, once with Mark Cuban weirdly.
Instead FTX gets to piss away 15$B, probably much more. When for just a couple measly million (+legal support) we could have centralized file storage and sharing which, for various reasons that make this an unfortunately difficult pitch, is unable to remove data they’re (probably) hosting while being immune to prosecution in most every Western nation, with some even needing constitutional amendments to ban or harass it (and yes all the insider attack/court-ordered/feds with access to the actual hardware running things stuff is accounted for, again unfortunately nothing about this is succinct).
The plan was to supplant both the need and hopefully market for VPNs and gain legitimacy to become a less fraught… Internet Archive, of sorts… But 2000 different variations of the same one-way ledger distributed database each having unique environmental catastrophes are definitely needed and most importantly safe, definitely pump billions into more of those.
That sucks, anyone can hit me up but I guess it’s hard to share backend-specific shit like database optimization issues… I’m very familiar with database engines like SQL Server/Oracle/Postgres and a few random ones that are too niche to not dox myself by mentioning lol
Largely former DBA
Similarly, FTX acquired naming rights to the e-sports organization TSM for a stunning $210 millionーfar out of line with comparable deals in the e-sports industry.

Never drink anything from a dispenser you don’t clean and don’t trust someone to clean. Which, for me, is none of the ones in public/restaurants.
I’m probably a little paranoid though, I don’t connect to the grid at all and filter my well for all the heavy metals and various bacteria in the groundwater around here just because I know eventually the shitty privatized/subsidized sewers and water in my area will go belly-up during the next infrastructure crisis.
It’s pretty unfathomable how much refuse is created by food packaging alone. Of course without packaging and barcodes, porky might lose a little more to shoplifting but seriously how was this allowed to happen?
I wish we could just walk to the thing and pull a lever and get rice in the box :doomer:
+1 for metal straw - make sure it’s got a silicon tip tho so you don’t fall and impale your fuckken head
