Thanks for answering honestly. You really painted a picture, which is distressingly relatable. I hope you feel better soon. I'm ~~rotting~~ ~~rioting~~ rooting (ha, autocorrect wanted me to be much more metal!) for you

I have said "schfourteen-teen" about once per week for the past 20 years

...I'm not sure anyone has ever gotten the reference

I did that too, but back then it was called Backtrack Linux. I bought a special Atheros chipset WiFi card for my laptop's PCMCIA slot. The built-in 802.11b WiFi card worked under Linux but only by using the Windows ME driver in NDISWrapper, which didn't support promiscuous mode.

The Atheros chipsets could be configured (by flashing the firmware with a blob I got from a BBS, if I recall) to capture the traffic from nearby wireless networks. In particular, I wanted to pick up the signal from when a device first connects. There was a bug in Windows XP that could cause the WiFi to drop briefly, then promptly reconnect. By triggering that bug over and over I could capture a lot of reconnect packets in a short time frame.

Then I'd save the data to a big file and pipe it to Aircrack and extract the Wired Equivalent Privacy password.

I was a 1337 H4XX0|2 B-)

I think you might actually have a black hole cat

I had the same bug a while back after an outage on my instance. Simply logging out and back in fixed it for me

In my group if the GM can't pronounce the name in one try in a way that makes it clear to us how to spell it the players with rename it something more like "Bonertown" or just "Dave"

I believe there's also a Haversham Hill, which is also a hill hill hill hill

As if popcorn wasn't bad enough on its own, I've heard that stuff can sometimes be made from asbestos too

These aren't women's clothes. They're my clothes. Unless I'm a woman...

I agree with the consensus that this was a good thing to do.

It was perfect to leave before the shopper could reject it because it allows her to save face. Either she did need it but was too proud to admit it, or she actually didn't need it and can just pay it forward.

Since you left quickly it made it clear there was no expectation that she should pay it back to you specifically, which could have had unsavory implications

I received one that initially appeared to be handwritten but upon careful inspection you could tell it was fake. It was a offer to buy the house site unseen (but didn't specify the amount). Likely some kind of a scam anyway. Tossed into the trash it was

I haven't noticed this at all and now I'm concerned that I've interacted with/upvoted bots :/
