Others may not be.

I hope they offer an earthbound rapture option, because I’m afraid of heights.

I don’t think they’re confused. I think they know exactly what they’re doing, at least as it relates to this.

I think they subconsciously notice it.

The one thing I legitimately fear is some cataclysmic event that suddenly shifts the veneer of social interaction from one of restrained politeness masking odious online behavior, to one of open and violent hostility where everyone wears their politics on their sleeve and act out in public against their “enemies”. I don’t know how close we are to something like that, but we are not immune to it just because we are America, and a climate of fear and loathing is being openly espoused by the people coming into almost total power. So the possibility is not as close to zero as some would want us to believe.

I don’t disgaree that Cheney and the others are in danger and should be protected from such political persecution if possible, but granting her and others a pardon might be a bit of a sticky wicket, because doing so gives the Republicans rhetorical cover that at its core, the J6 Committee was a criminal enterprise, and that by participating, anyone who was not pardoned would be subject to arrest, prosecution, and more.

I think this is because their dirty little open secret is they want to remake American education in a way that makes it far more difficult for people of modest or less means to go to college, and instead, want to track the best lower-middle, working-, and poverty-class minds into apprenticeships and entry-level middle management at best, with the rest of them being tracked into manual labor, preferably after a stint in the military for the boys. Someone here posted a splendid meme of Kristin Bell sharing that secret with us: that the MAGA elite openly disparage the idea of university education because they want to convince you to prevent your kids from going—but not their own kids. These ideas are related.

And, also, scapegoating them for practically everything that’s wrong with America, especially for a “high” crime rate that is actually low and dropping.

The team is separate from the players.

The other thing I can hopefully rely on is that my password vault contains such small potatoes that I have my doubts anyone will dedicate vast computer resources costing thousands upon thousands of dollars and going on for years and years to crack it. I think as long as I change the master password every few months to some phrase that means something only to me and security.org says takes quadrillions of years to crack, I’m gonna be OK. All I gotta do is outlive the efforts of some super dedicated criminal to crack it. I’m in the 60s, so i like my chances on that front.

I guess I’ll have to reconsider moving my seed phrase for my crypto wallet account containing $43 onto my LastPass. I’ll also have to reconsider my master password of 1234. In all seriousness, this is a good article and it taught me a few things, so thanks for that. I looked up the iteration count on the account and it’s already at 600,000, which I just learned is a minimum and I can manually increase, so I may do that. Otherwise, I feel pretty secure with I have. All the serious money-containing accounts I have use the kind of password you post later, with at least a couple dozen characters of randomly-generated gobbledygook. If I have to try to log in to them without LastPass, I would never be able to do it. I’d have to go to my backup plan. Other accounts that are last critical, such as online forums, use less secure passwords that I can remember off the top of my head, but are also unusual and require you to know something specific and undocumented about one of my childhood preferences. And if anyone really, really wants to use an Nvidia 3090 to crack my MTF password so they can ****post under my name and make people around here even high-key madder at me than they normally are, I guess they’re welcome to it.

A contending team would not run Kreidler out there even in case of injury.

To me, that’s less disappointing than going to the last three home games to see them break the record and they end up sweeping the Angels instead.

Darn, now we’ll never see the reboot.

Are they showing the music acts now? They did not before and I assumed it was because they wouldn‘t pay the rights fee for it? Because if they show the music acts now, there are numerous SNLs I want to go back and rewatch.

Maybe once Joe Biden is no longer able to use his presidential powers to sicken chickens so he can drive up the cost of eggs, the price of them will finally come under control.

Randomness tinged by a temporary dose of copycat? That’s what my early money is on. What I don’t understand is why this is posted here. What’s the political angle to this?

What makes today’s self-professed conservatives different is that they assume bad intent by people on their other side of their chosen divide who are in charge of the stuff they don’t understand, even if they have demonstrated no history of nefariousness; while excusing bad intent that is said out loud in the public square by people they hope will take charge of the stuff they don’t understand in order to dismantle the very structure of governance, and who have a track record of bad actions a mile long.

Here’s what my research tells me: https://support.lastpass.com/s/document-item?language=en_US&bundleId=lastpass&topicId=LastPass/FAQ_LastPass_Secure.html&_LANG=enus Your master password is never sent to LastPass. When you log in to LastPass using your master password, both the password hash and decryption key are generated locally. The password hash is sent to our servers to verify you. Once verified, LastPass grants you the ability to access your vault. This means that only your password hash is sent to LastPass, not your master password. The decryption key never leaves your computer and is used to decrypt your vault locally once you have been verified. When creating your LastPass account or when changing your master password, LastPass checks if the password you entered as your master password has been exposed. For more information, view How does LastPass know if my master password was exposed?. Your sensitive data is encrypted. We use 256-bit AES encryption to protect the contents of your LastPass vault. Since your vault is already encrypted before it reaches the LastPass server, your vault contents cannot be accessed, even by a LastPass representative. LastPass uses a one-way salted hash. A one-way function is one that cannot be reversed. A hash is a representation of your master password. The process of salting adds extra data to the hash in order to add complexity. LastPass uses the username to salt the master password. In other words, LastPass enters the username and master password into one-way functions to create a salted hash. Since the function cannot be reversed, even if the salted hash was compromised, the attacker would still be unable to obtain the master password. LastPass uses PBKDF2-SHA256 rounds. This feature makes the salted hash even more complicated for an attacker because it increases the number of iterations it takes in order for a password to be accurately guessed. Using a one-way salted hash with a high number of iterations, along with making sure your master password is long and complex, provides the greatest potential for preventing your sensitive dating from being compromised. Learn more about password iterations. For more information, please see LastPass Security and the LastPass Technical Whitepaper (PDF). Now, you may be thinking, “Typical Chaz, what a ****ing dumbass, spitting back corporate propaganda at me, you don’t know jack **** and you deserve to have all your **** stolen.” And you and your friend are free to believe that. My only defense is that LastPass operates out in the open as an above-board white-hat digital company, so I am taking them at their word that they are being on the level about their technical, rather than misleading us into giving up our passwords so they can, I guess, use them to drain our bank accounts, or perhaps sell them off to the any terrorist or rogue foreign government who flashes a wad of sawbucks at them. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume they don’t or won’t do that. What does your research tells you?

I've clarified myself repeatedly here: I said that if Bregman agrees to Detroit, he’ll do so only if he has an escape clause. I haven't contemplated Bregman and Boston agreeing on an escape clause at all. I didn't weigh in on it either way. Anything more you want to know about what I think, you can review this.

My friend who used to program the public TV station here in town went to Emory U and interned at the Carter Center for right around that time, and said he'd met Jimmy a few times. Speaks extremely highly of him. Jimmy Carter had arguably the best post-presidency of anyone in history. William Howard Taft is also up there as CJSCOTUS. J.Q. Adams was an anti-slavery congressman after his time in office. I'm not sure who else is even in the discussion.

No, it doesn't. I didn't imply that. You inferred it. You might consider asking for clarification instead of pouncing.

I doubt that it’s the general impression among players that Boston is more attractive for winning than Detroit. Also, I’m not sure the Orioles’ window will be open for as long as some may believe. They just let the ace they spent a lot in prospect and draft capital to get just walk the foot after only an year, and their biggest slugger is about to walk out right behind him. They may have built a great core, but they’re not convincing me yet that they want to build on it for the long term.

I didn't say he wouldn’t want that from Boston.
