Aye that’s part of what I was saying. Now, the argument could be made that if the octopus is smart enough to have the goal of moving through the tract, they could muscle open the sphincter. I haven’t ever tested an octopus against a sphincter. The controlled variable would have to be octopus size…

Off hand, I think the sphincter would win out until the octopus is too big to fit through without rupturing other areas.

I mean, some octopodes are pretty small. The real issue is them moving through the GI tract. They might be flexible enough, but propelling themselves forward consistently would be the real feat.

For anyone not believing this, go to https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer and do that consumer report. They are (depending on your state) required to tell you everything they have on you, and they include where it came from. It’s eye-opening.

Sure, facebook has been doing it for years. They build shadow profiles on people, allegedly ‘only’ (massive air quotes around that one) so if those people ever join they’ll have links and photos and such already waiting for them.

It definitely counts as an unreasonable change. If you quietly accept it, or quit due to it, you won’t get the help. If you set things up in your favor by replying to the mandate with language along the lines of ‘such a significant change to working conditions requires a renegotiation of my contract’ then you’re placing yourself in a good position to say that you were constructively dismissed, not that you quit.

A change from working wherever you are (which could be hours away if you were full remote) to the office is just as significant as being moved from one metropolis to another.

You forgot the ‘lots’ portion. It was not a small amount of liquid.

Okay, so for the new folks with networking, how do you set up a honeypot wifi? Have a (second) router powered on with no connection? Or is it something you can set up with one router?

Different places have different ways of doing things. One of the recent online courses I saw was step by step, and each step opened as soon as you finished the first.

Once everything is online - the assignments, the test, the proctors watching you take the test, the grading for the test being automatic - it’s no longer as important for those places to schedule everything exactly. It’s also incredibly different in the experience, because the chance of an actual professor teaching is incredibly slim. They have you just reading the textbook and being referred to youtube videos.

Your math is off. You said one million per day, but your 1/10 of a billion would have it as one million per year

I use odysee, and so far it’s been nice.

Huh. So we have all the cheesy, melty goodness that sits around the chicken and calamari, and when you finish with that it’s like a sweet dessert? Maybe if you only have one slice, so it’s like you are eating a three course meal: Appetizer of cheese and chicken, meal of the calamari, then the oreo.

It’s not about the company being responsible. I’m more referring to the hosts of the session being able to pursue legal action, or press charges. In the eyes of the court, would you be accessing (one of the ways to run afoul of that texas law) the hosts’ “computer systems” running the zoom software, or are you accessing Zoom’s computer systems? Is Zoom able to be run on your local server, or is everything processed on their end?

In either case, could they say that you were accessing those computer systems without the owner’s consent (one of the conditions for the crime I quoted)? The failure to set a password, giving out the password publicly, and maybe your option #5 might ways that a lawyer could construed as them giving ‘everyone’ permission to come, and thus void the crime… but we’re also talking about texas, and the law down there is as flippant as it is in the extreme court.

I want to give people things to think about before they did this, considering that the minimum level of crime they’ll be looking at carries up to 180 days in jail. Definitely use a burner phone, VPN, and every other way to cover your tracks.

Would they be able to do anything, legally? Like file harassment if enough people did this, or whatever computer hackery legality they could twist to fit? The stuff from here: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.33.htm#33.02 is pretty vague in regards to the definitions given in https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.33.htm#33.01

Could you say you had ‘permission’ from Zoom to use their ‘computer systems’ by virtue of the systems literally being set up to be accessed?

Or for the entire month. It saves money… :'(

Or that fungus that makes the snails look like they’ve simultaneously become interested in the rave scene and inflation.

I have no doubt that the USA has fingers in the pie of public sentiments elsewhere.

Russia has learned the power of Japan.

Try vesktop. Maybe that will help.

Don’t blueball me like that.

Elden ring blocked the nig in the middle of knight. That always got an eye roll from me.
