If you’re taking them out in the daytime at all, you’re already a bad goth-parent.

That reminds me of the time I attended Lollapalooza in Orlando, FL one summer. All the poor goths were melting in the heat like cones of black, activated-charcoal ice cream.

Someone should do public service videos on the effects of global warming on the Goth community. Places like Paris, Venice, New Orleans flooded, the traditional garb simply too hot to wear, makeup running constantly.

Ex-Apple engineer lifts lid on Uncle Sam’s top-secret plan to turn customized iPod into ‘Geiger counter’
David Shayer, a former engineer with Apple’s iPod outfit, this week recounted the yarn of how he came to build a custom bit of kit for the US Department of Energy (DOE) in 2005.
As these things tend to go, Shayer doesn’t have much in the way of details on the project, other than claiming that the whole thing was an effort to attach or add something like a Geiger counter to an iPod so as to covertly detect and record radioactive materials.

You there. Person, corp, state. Doesn’t matter. You better not shoot down or hack a drone. That’s our job – US govt
The US government has warned against the use of anti-drone technology by private companies and even American states, saying it could break current wiretap and hacking laws.
In a joint advisory put out this week by the Department of Justice, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Homeland Security, the agencies “strongly recommend” that anyone thinking of deploying such technology should “seek the advice of counsel experienced with both federal and state criminal, surveillance, and communications laws.”

Bunch of mugs keep risking life and limb to ‘crockery bomb’ sad little roundabout
Right, we know this pandemic has gone on quite long enough, but the boredom-busting activities are getting ridiculous. Can someone explain “crockery bombing” to us?

Pshaw. We’re getting some new neighbors who strike me as the type that might be into flying drones around the neighborhood. I’ve been practicing on the slingshot in the hopes of being able to protect my airspace if needed.
This warning isn’t about annoying intrusive hobby drones, is it?
In a weird coincidence, members of Devo, the Eagles, the Pretenders and the Waitresses were not only all students at Kent State in 1970, they all happened to be at the notoriously deadly protest and they all practically lived in the same building
Despite being nestled in a conservative Midwest town, Kent State was a hub of artistic creativity in 1970 and the artists/musicians formed a tight community. Butler, Walsh, future Devo members Casale and Bob Lewis, and Terry Hynde, Chrissie’s brother, all lived a few doors from each other at an apartment building at 405 Longmere Drive.

I bet these people would love Desert Bus.
ETA and the funny thing is after some 14 hours of flying and fucking around, they ended up landing on the taxiway and crashing into a building.

Even Chicago-Champaign in a Cessna 172 is a haul. Did that one in FlightGear, navigating via VOR/DME, only to pitch the nose forward and wipe out my prop on landing. Glider reflexes don’t work well in a 172.

Physical locks are less hackable than digital locks, right? Maybe not: Boffins break in with a microphone
A computer scientist at the National University of Singapore claims to have demonstrated how recording the sound of a lock turning can be sufficient to make working replica keys.
