Listening to my Slavic bro Dvorak and his Florida friend:

DHUnplugged #619: Dire Warnings

https://overcast.fm/+Jy8Bxel8 .

🌩️ Schools in the #USA continue to outsource highly sensitive data about students to #proprietary #software vendors to store in the "cloud", er, #Amazon #AWS.

🔓 A vendor used by some of the country's largest cities was recently breached, despite years of increasing legal policies ostensibly to protect #education data.

🤦🏻 You won't believe what happened next.

The Jewish Elbow

A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife. "You come to the front door of the apartment. I am in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, push button 301. I will buzz you in. Come inside, the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow, push 3. When you get out, I'm on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell."

@vandys @mathew @alcinnz @lightweight same. We've been happy with our brother printer. Previously all ink jets clogged and were generally a pain because we didn't use it often enough. The laser printer can sit for weeks or maybe even months then print out perfectly on the first try. No head cleaning bs or anything.

I was highly amused to stumble across this video review of my film Seder-Masochism, from over 2 years ago, by an entertaining young man named John. Sometimes the Internet is still fun. https://youtu.be/2NA-o07X-QU

That last thread got really messed up so I'm re-posting: THREAD

The Gell-Mann Effect is when people read an article in the news media that covers a familiar field of knowledge and discover that the journalist got everything wrong – but then they go on to read the next story on a different topic and believe every word. (1)

@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz @LovesTha@floss.social @vandys@mst.vsta.org @mathew@mastodon.social @alcinnz@floss.social I only recently found out that my old Brother MFC-J870DW also works with driverless printing.

At least if you don't print photos.

I don't think greenTards understand what it SMELLS like at a NASCAR race, because they would never try it (they will probably LIKE it!). You cannot appreciate the unmuffled engine roar and the smell of oil and gasoline. It's almost sweet smelling. You come home covered from head to toe with the stuff. It takes a few hours to stop smelling it. I hear at Bristol, when they do dirt track racing, you come home with the mud on you too! We plan on trying that one. Richmond is our "home" track

If I were still on Fb, (locked out 10/23/2015) I'd post these words.

An hour later, I'd block 99/100 of my "friends" list.

The several I wouldn't, well, we have alternate means of communication

@dadegroot that is local comedian Nicky Barry and you're in no way the first person to make that comparison. I fear for the safety of anyone nearby if the two of them ever teamed up.
